I went to see Let It Go 2 – aka Frozen 2.
After all, Let It Go was an earworm you could not escape when the
original Frozen phenomenon hit theaters. Frozen 2
does not disappoint and kids clapped at the end of the film. I’m sure many will
see it again and again and again. The franchise stays on track and I agree with
the Dallas Morning News – the movie has all the staying power of a
snowflake. It evaporates almost on contact.
The movie is pleasant with snowy landscapes, fun lines,
decent songs, and sister power. Elsa (Idina Menzel) is queen of Arendelle. Anna
(Kristen Bell), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), and Olaf (Josh Gad) follow Elsa when
she hears a mysterious voice from the forest. Turns out she needs to free the
forest from a fog, work with native people in the area, and resolve an ancient
struggle to right some historic wrongs. She has her ice powers, but she still
need her posse – most of all her sister. The journey involves the scary giant
boulder men, caves, a very cool water horse, and dealing with all elements –
fire, water, air, and earth.
This sister bond is the key to this movie and what makes the
concept of Frozen and Frozen 2 special. The movie
made me happy and yes, I want to build a snowman…
It's been years since I've gone to the movies. Don't like going to the theaters. So generally prefer to watch things at home once they're released from the theaters, and that typically doesn't take very long these days. Frozen doesn't appeal, based on the ditty's I've seen on TV. But, I think mothers of young girls have enjoyed it from the conversations I've heard. I did however recently go to the theater.....which is truly weird. My girl friends and I had a raining day during our girls week and went to see Downton Abbey, it was wonderful on the big screen.

Glad you saw Downton - that was an "event". I went with a group of ladies and then back to a friends for lunch. It was a bonding movie.
DeleteI just love movies on the big screen. At home I'm more likely to pause,etc.
The animation these days is great and I enjoy fluffy songs of love.
Staying power of a snowflake - brilliant description. I thought it was good but forgetable. And a bit dark with too many songs.
ReplyDeleteDisney can get serious on stuff. Kids in the audience were quiet and then applauded - so ...success!
DeleteSounds about what one would suspect. The snowflake review sums it up.
ReplyDeleteand I like a light powdering of snow...no shovel involved.
DeletePleased the movie was a success with you.
ReplyDeleteI've forgotten what the cimema looks like....lol.
Yvonne.
oh,it's a whole new world. Fancier seats and excellent screens and sound
DeleteNice. I'm glad it's such a good movie. Many people have been looking forward to seeing it. (I'll just enjoy your review and make myself some hot cocoa.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne.
you can live vicariously through me and the movies.
DeleteI'll wait to see this one at home. It sounds like another winner for Disney.
ReplyDeleteit's just entertaining and that's all I want from Disney
