I'm not particularly good with reviews but I'll list a few things I thought about it. The characters are really strong -- and all the actors portray their parts perfectly. It is a musical, so if that's not your thing beware (aka stop being such a lamewad
), and the score is incredibly good -- Disney hasn't been this good since Menken was doing the music for Beauty and the Beast. The animation is amazing; the sweeping snowy landscape and ice is jaw-dropingly gorgeous. While some things will turn out how you'd think they would -- the movie certainly does its fair share of breaking the norm.
It's anything but bland -- disney trailers are a hard thing to trust because they're marketed towards children… so the trailers will be cut in a way that's meant for children. This is not a children's movie though -- well it obviously
is but it's not that dreamworks madagascar shit. This is good.
Ultimately I'm very pleased. The movie turned out exactly as good as I thought it'd be- really good.
