Frozen 2

It's been six years since the phenomenon that is Frozen came into our lives including the song that came with it that haunted parents for a very long time, the Oscar winning "Let It Go". Now, Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf return for an epic new adventure that is equally as good as (and also somewhat surpasses) the first one. The story expands the Frozen universe to a whole new level of magical proportions while also keeping the franchise's familiar footing.

This sequel delves more into Elsa's purpose in life and the reason why she has her powers. Questions that were raised in the first movie were answered. I don't really remember if there more questions added to the pile because I was too engrossed with everything about this amazing Disney sequel.

This is the second sequel off a Disney movie that was not released direct-to-video. The first being Ralph Breaks the Internet which I think exceeded alot of expectations being even more enjoyable than it's predecessor. Frozen 2 has the same formula by being better than the first movie by its sense of maturity and tone.

Frozen 2 grew up along with its audience to deliver a much darker storyline and give higher stakes towards its characters. These are characters that alot people care about even if only its been one full length movie and two short movies. So, when the arc of this story pits our 5 heroes against a much larger and complicated threat, we will get worried. But it's a Disney movie. Nothing really bad is going to happen. Right?

When the trailers came out, I thought Frozen 2 was going to be less musical but I was wrong. Everyone will be expecting a "Let It Go"-esque ballad to be featured but the soundtrack features not one but a soundtrack full of successors to "Let It Go" The true successor and the song that might seem better but somewhat underrated towards the overrated "Let It Go" is "Into The Unknown" performed by Queen Elsa herself, Idina Menzel. Everybody else gets an epic solo as well which is freaking awesome. Olaf's cutesie tune of him thinking that growing makes things less complicated is called "When I Am Older". Kristoff gets a boyband ballad called "Lost In The Woods" that gives you 80's to 90's vibes all through, paying homage to famous band/group music videos. Anna sings her "I Dreamed A Dream"-like ballad like a boss which is called "The Next Right Thing". I can only imagine how Kristen Bell recorded that in the studio. Other songs include "All is Found" performed by Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld), "Some Things Never Change" performed by the Frozen company and an all new version of "Reindeers Are Better Than People".

The animation is one to marvel at. Frozen features the best visuals in Disney animation history. Frozen 2 looks more like a Pixar movie compared to a regular Disney 3D animated movie. From the details of the leaves and rocks to the rushing waves, Frozen 2 raises the bar for 3D animation. 

The Lion King was considered the future of animation. Was it though? The movie was CGI. Not animation. There is a difference. Computer animation is the process used for digitally generating animated images. The more general term computer-generated imagery (CGI) encompasses both static scenes and dynamic images, while computer animation only refers to moving images. So, this is the future animation. Period.

So, to conclude, I would say that Frozen 2 is definitely worth the watch. Get tickets now and experience Anna and Elsa's all new epic adventure through the autumn forests. I will be rating Frozen 2 a 9/10 because I think it delivers as the perfect sequel to a global phenomenon and the movie, without a doubt, lives up to the hype.
