FROZEN II (Dir: Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee, 2019).
Walt Disney Animation Studios sequel to their original blockbuster Frozen (Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee, 2013).
The events of Frozen II take place roughly three years after those of Frozen. However, the movie takes us further back into Elsa and Anna's past as, through flashbacks, we see the girls' father King Agnarr of Arendelle relating the tale of their grandfather's attempt to form a treaty with a neighbouring tribe in their Enchanted Forest homeland. An ensuing battle results in grandfather's death and discord among the Forest's spirits. Years later Elsa is drawn to the forest by a mysterious voice and becomes embroiled in the ongoing conflict which is threatening the well being of both the Enchanted Forest and Queen Elsa's kingdom of Arendelle
While Frozen II bears the legend "Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, it is nothing like the original fairytale. Neither is it particularly like the original movie, incorporating more references to Nordic myth and legend than the original Frozen.
Reuniting much of the core creative team from the first movie, co-writers and directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee have created a movie which never feels like a quick buck cash-in. The animation is stunning, even more so than in the original. Its forest setting and warm autumnal colour palette gives it a distinctly different feel to the cooler blues and whites of Frozen's icescapes.
In its attempt to differentiate itself from the first movie, Frozen II does seem to suffer from an overly complex narrative. There is so much going on in Frozen II that one misses the more economic and ultimately more satisfying simplicity of the original, although Buck and Lee are to be commended for not being content to just churn out the same movie.
While the story may be a little over complicated for its own good, Frozen II is still a highly impressive, enjoyable movie, much better than audiences may have been expected and continues Walt Disney Animation Studios’ excellent run of features throughout the 2010s.

Found Family. Nimona wanted a friend, found a boss, and ended up with a dad.
Even though this movie didn't win the Oscar's, it's definitely still one of the best animated movies of all time (this is not my opinion this is a fact). The reason I love this movie so much is because it has paved the way for animated movies to come, for them to have more positive queer representation in kids media.
This movie deserves more recognition than it currently has. Thank you team Nimona for making one of my favourite movies of all time.
imagine being the only 6 in a room full of 10s
I heard the Oscars ‘best animated feature’ and I have to say, Pinocchio and Puss in Boots had a close call in my book. I just glad to know that if Puss in Boots didn’t win, it would have lose to Pinocchio.
And in my opinion, Puss in boots would’ve been better (my taste, but the movie was still amazing) is if it took place in the 1940s, specifically World War 2, when Pinocchio was set in. Also if the movie was ✨Stop motion animated✨
I love the ‘Into the Spider Verse’ animation, but the ‘Wendall and Wild’ animation is ONE OF THE BEST and kinda underrated
