ULTIMATE REVIEW
Yes Disney! We really do want to build a snowman again with Anna and Elsa! In 2013, Disney threw the world a lovely tale inspired by Hans Christian Anderson's "Snow Queen" called Frozen, once again showing theing their might as master storytellers, coupled with beautiful memorable music ( which I'm sure every little girl and their loving parents quickly learnt the words of ) and stunning 3D animation which dazzled the world once more.
The original Frozen proved to be such a huge box-office hit that it made $400,738,009 in the US and an international taking of $880,064,273 and earning a global total of no less than an amazing $1,280,802,282. Interestingly enough the movies budget was amzingly high at a well spent $150 million.
So now let's get down to the nitty gritty regarding Frozen 2 (2019), it continues the adventures last seen in 2013 and the Frozen Fever short film that followed and as with all sequels, we have seen the development of the characters in the first movie and the job of the sequel is to impress us with an even greater story stepping way out of the original movie's shadow and coming into it's own. In my opinion this is where so many movies fail, even when they claim they are the midlle of a planned trilogy, it seems that the writers and film makers get lazy and drop the ball with sequels.
However, I admit, I fell in love with this movie. Great animation, a few more wonderful songs and enough of a story to wow every child and parent once more leaving you with a good euphoric feeling of happiness after, like only Disney seem to deliver.Now let's face some interesting critical points I thought of when watching Frozen 2 like did Disney see the similarity in story between this movie and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, also released in 2019? There's a kingdom and it's people and not far away is a magical forest and the kingdom does not trust the creatures from the forest and the evil queen, played wonderfully by Michelle Pfiefer, tries to destroy them all....
This seems somehow replicated in Frozen 2, though this does not form the bulk of the movie. Frozen 2 also seems to be a bit of a copy of the original movie and how you wonder, well lets break this movie down into a much more simplistic form, in the original, you have Elsa the sister with this wonderful gift and Anna her little sister. Anna ultimately saves Elsa and thus the kingdom. In Frozen 2 we once again see the exact thing being played out yet again and I'm speaking in it's most basic form Disney may have remade the same movie.
Now you're probably wondering if I'm hating on Frozen 2, well let's clear this up, I'm really not and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie but the question you should be asking yourself when the credits have rolled and the lingering taste of popcorn in your mouth has disappeared, how far did the story actually progress and was the story worth waiting 6 years for?
Frozen 2 is still currently playing in theatres around the world and has already raked inmore than $1,325,176,364, meaing its surpassed the originals total and will continue to greater heights soon too in terms of box office totals thus proving it's worth and becoming yet another Disney hit. That officially makes Frozen II the biggest animated film in history as it surpassed the $1.281 billion record previously set by its predecessor in 2013.
