The Daily Beast calls it Disney's best film since 'The Lion King'. I probably won't be able to see it till this Sunday. That it is when my best friend wants to see it.
Just got back from an early screening. This is by far the best Disney has done in a LONG time in my opinion. The music is influenced heavily by musical theater obviously, and the song between Anna and Elsa midway through the film demonstrates this. "Let it Go" is beautifully animated and the song itself is out of this world. Idina really delivered in this film.
"Life in theater is give and take...but you need to be ready to give more then you take..."
Walt Disney Animation has been on a roll with Tangled, Wreck it Ralph and now Frozen, it funny that Disney have released two films which honour their heritage, one being Frozen and the other Saving Mr Banks.
Quite looking forward to Big Hero 6 which is out next year.
Loved FROZEN. Interesting that as Disney is getting better again (Tangled, Wreck it Ralph and now Frozen), Pixar seems to be lacking a bit (Cars 2, Brave, Monsters University).
Just got back from the 9:45 show and it was wonderful! Bobby and Kristin Lopez wrote a terrific score, and the script is very funny and touching. Idina Menzel wows, natch. Lots of Book of Mormon cast members, so I sobbed like a baby throughout. Santino Fontana is adorable. Go!
Thought it was spectacular. Everyone was wonderful- Kristen, Jonathan, Josh Gad (who I usually loathe), Santino, and especially Idina. She's in fine, fine, voice...not since the opening of Wicked has she sounded this good. Great score by the Lopez duo. Might Let It Go be a potential Oscar winner for best song?
It was a great holiday film...just perfect. Along with Wreck it Ralph and Tangled, the studio has been on kind of a roll recently.
The audience at our 10 PM show here in Orlando loved it, though admittedly most of this audience (including myself) was cast members who are predisposed to liking it.
Any general thoughts on whether or not the 3D is worth it to shell out the extra $? I don't mind paying IF the film is truly enhanced by it, but if it's not necessary....
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
Bobby Lopez could be on his way to EGOT before he turns 40 should a TV project come up soon that wins him the "E."
I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing this film. I plan on going Friday or Saturday. Hearing good things, not just on BWW, but from critics and friends who have sneaked a peek.
The 3D in FROZEN is nicely done and not obnoxious, however the short film preceding the 3D version, "Get A Horse", is amazing, and can only be appreciated in 3D. Well worth the upcharge, IMO
I saw it this morning, and loved it. Even more so than Tangled, which I adored. It had a fabulous score, and all the cast members were terrific. Idina sounded beautiful, as always. I found Olaf (Josh Gad's character) to be very funny. He sounds better than on the Mormon album, IMO. It also had a very good storyline and well placed songs that complimented the story perfectly. Idina's "Let It Go" brought me to tears.
^^All I can say is: Wow. At first, it is a Walt Disney classic. But what happens next. I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO SPOIL IT FOR YOU, it's that great. Definitely going to win big at the Oscars
