The animated, 3-D adventure wants to enliven and subvert
the conventions of typical Disney princess movies while simultaneously
remaining true to their aesthetic trappings for maximum merchandising
potential. It encourages young women to support and stay loyal to each
other—a crucial message when mean girls seem so prevalent—as long as
some hunky potential suitors and adorable, wise-cracking creatures also
are around to complete them.Watch This Movie and download in here
It all seems so cynical, this attempt to shake things up without shaking them up too much. "Frozen" just happens to be reaching theaters as Thanksgiving and the holiday shopping season are arriving. The marketing possibilities are mind-boggling. And in the tradition of the superior "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Little Mermaid," surely "Frozen: The Musical" will be headed to the Broadway stage soon. The songs – which are lively and amusing if not quite instant hits—are already in place.
Little girls will absolutely love it, though. That much is undeniable. And the film from co-directors Chris Buck
("Surf's Up") and Jennifer Lee is never less than gorgeous to watch. A majestic mountaintop ice castle is particularly exquisite—glittery and detailed and tactile, especially as rendered in 3-D.
But first we must witness the tortured backstory of the film's princesses – not one, but two of them. The script from "Wreck-It Ralph" co-writer Lee, inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen story "The Snow Queen," has lots of cheeky, contemporary touches but is firmly and safely rooted in Scandinavian fairy tale traditions.
