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…
