Move over, CINDERELLA! There’s a new magical animated musical on the scene and we’re under its spell.
Disney’s FROZEN delivers a heartwarming tale— which is funny, considering the majority of the movie is set in a kingdom of snow and ice.
Inspired by the fairytale THE SNOW QUEEN by Hans Christian Anderson, the movie follows sisters Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel), the two princesses of Arendelle. The problem is: Elsa has a secret. Ever since she was born, she could conjure up a winter wonderland with one chilling touch. Though this power sounds amazing (snow forts in July, anyone?), it’s also extremely dangerous.
Anna, on the other hand, is completely normal… at least on the surface. She wants to be close with her sister, but thanks to Elsa’s curse, things are frosty between them. As a true optimist, Anna always looks at the bright side.
Fast forward to Elsa’s coronation day, when things get majorly out of control. Elsa accidentally freezes the whole kingdom! By setting off an eternal winter, she is accused of being a witch and flees to the mountains to escape.
With Anna all alone and concerned for her sister, she sets off to find her and help end of the winter spell. Along the way, she meets a mountaineer named Kristoff and a hilarious snowman named Olaf. Cue the action, adventure, comedy and songs!
In the end, it’s true love that breaks the curse (and completely warms our hearts in the process). With characters that are relatable and loveable, this movie perfectly combines the best classic and modern elements that Disney is known for.
FROZEN not only delivers an awesome story with some important messages of empowerment and bravery, but it’s also full of songs that will get stuck in your head for days.
