Frozen 2: A story that gives you chills

Frozen was one of the most popular and one of the highest grossing animated Disney movies of all time. Of course there was a lot of hype and expectations for the sequel.  Frozen 2 expands on the story of the first while making the story bigger than the main characters and about more than their problems. The movie explains more about Elsa’s past and gives her a true purpose. Plus the audience figures out the plot just as the characters do. Unlike the first movie the audience figures out the plot a lot faster than the characters and they have to wait for the characters to catch up which is frustrating.

The elements of nature are attacking Arendelle and Elsa and Anna have to figure out why. Discovering the past helps save the future as Elsa and Anna go on a path of discovery while being confident and headstrong. There is a typical romantic subplot where Kristoff wanting to propose to Anna and is too nervous. Some of the Olaf bits are funny but some are also annoying. He is a bit inconsistent in this movie. There is one interesting camera effect when Olaf is running from something and the camera uses a first person gopro angle and I've never seen it done before in animation.

Finally the songs of the movie. This is a Disney movie so of course it has many musical numbers. Unfortunately this is where inconsistencies arise once more. Some songs felt forced and unnecessary while the other songs were amazing and catchy. It was like every other song was great. Overall I recommend Frozen 2, despite its inconsistencies it’s still a more interesting movie in my opinion. 🍔🍔🍔
