Frozen

[canadian_turtle]

This film was pretty perfect! Amazing voice cast (everyone was brilliant; Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Santino Fontana), stunning animation, a heartwarming story despite its title and it's very, VERY funny (especially Olaf). I loved every minute of it and my cheeks are hurting a little bit from all the laughing I did. Also, I want a baby Sven stuffed toy, I REALLY hope Disney has made or will make one!

There was little fun in the foyer but there was green screen, real reindeer (outside) with an Olaf ice sculpture and a phenomenal performance before the film from the actress who is doing the Dutch voice for Elsa (and will be Elphaba in the West End from tomorrow, she's just copying all Idina Menzel's roles!).

10/10

We also saw a large portion of the West End cast of The Book of Mormon (there to support ex-Broadway Mormon Josh Gad?) and with some helpful nudging from martadelas got a group photo

Free Birds has a lot to live up to this afternoon...

Unfortunately Free Birds didn't live up to anything, you didn't miss anything. Glad Frozen was so good, I'm really looking forward to it now.

They showed a trailer for Frozen before the film and it looked amazing, everyone in the cinema was laughing, looks fab!

Wonderful film, almost a 10/10 (Wish they didn't drag in another song that helped nothing in terms of plot, tone or pacing, just a song for the kids - Trolls), the 3D superb, the characters and writing amazing, the tone is serious with humour thrown in, it looks epic (The 2.55:1 aspect ratio makes it even larger, Cinemascope effective for vistas and such) and the songs. The songs are almost unanimously brilliant.
Great short film before with Mickey old fashioned with a modern edge, and some darker humour given his usually sweet nature.

That was a perfect morning indeed!

I was not impressed by the short nor by the 3D (pointless?), but the story was sweet, the characters lovely and the songs spot on! I really needed a good animated movie to forget the very poor Justin&the Knights of Valour.

I unfortunately had to leave during the credits, missing both the post credit scene (anybody care to "spoiler" it up for me?) and the girls having their pictures taken with the book of mormon guys *cough* stalkers *cough*

8.5/10

There was a post credit scene? Uh... I guess I was too busy being a stalker to notice that

[Celini]

duh!
So I just dug it up from the intraweb for you frozen turtle!
[spoiler]The extra scene shows the large snowman finding the crown in the ice palace. He puts it on, smiles, and seems to become content. He also loses his rough looking ice shards as well.[/spoiler]

Thanks for that!

It has been a while since I have been so charmed and impressed with an animated film (Tangled and Despicable Me are the only recent efforts that come to mind).

This had everything a family film should have: great characters, breathtaking animation (the crispness of the snow and ice looked incredible), catchy tunes sung by talented vocalists, a heartwarming story, and genuinely funny moments (Olaf the snowman steals the show and is downright hilarious). I would like to give this 10/10 (a true rarity from me!) but even though I found it delightful, I thought it was a little bit slow to get going in the beginning so it gets awarded with 9.5/10 (which is my highest rated film of 2013).

Well done, Disney, well done indeed.

Listening to some of the songs on YouTube and I'm reminded how amazing this film was. I'm so sorry Tangled, but Frozen is my new favourite Disney film...
