It’s just past Christmas, so time to cover the long-awaited sequel to the global phenomenon that became wildly over-hated, Frozen 2.
I get that in many circles it’s cool to hate Frozen but I
could never bring myself to. It’s a very different twist on the classic Snow
Queen story, fitting right on the Disney brand with memorable songs and
gorgeous animation. And sure, some of Hans’ actions, particularly in the second
go act completely contrary to his overall plan, but I do like they the twist on the classic Disney trope and that it conveys a message that love at first sight is not a
healthy idea to obsess over.
Frozen 2 came out 6 years later but we weren’t starved for
Frozen content in that time, just content that’s actually good. It’s somewhat
encouraging that pretty much all of the major players from the last film are
back for this one.
The film was another financial hit for Disney, earning nearly $1.5bn at the box office, and has had a good reception with both critics and audiences. So why then am I putting it in the mini review category as opposed to doing another guilty pleasures review? Is it laziness/busy-ness? Well partly, but let’s take a look?
