Frozen

Frozen movie poster

Frozen is a comedy movie up in theatre in the 2013, directed by Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee. Written by Hans Christian Andersen & Jennifer Lee as well. Voice-over casts are Kristen Bell as Princess Anna, Idina Menzel as Princess Elsa (who has the icy magic power that can freeze everything into ice), Jonathan Groff as Kristoff, Josh Gad as Olaf (the funny snowman), Santino Fontana as Prince Hans (the bad guy) and many more. This movie consist of quite a lot of songs such as Let it Go, Do You Want to Build a Snowman, For the First Time in Forever, Love is an Open Door, Frozen Heart, In Summer and a few more. I personally love 2 of the above most, which are Let it Go and Do You Want to Build a Snowman. The "Let it Go" song is still stuck in my head after I have watched this movie. "Let it Go" is sang by Princess Elsa (Idina Menzel's voice). I think Frozen has the best songs out of all the other animation-comedy movies that I have ever watched such as Brave. Brave has a total of 4 songs only throughout the whole movie, if I am not mistaken. But, I think I still love Frozen the most. I really can't stop watching the video of "Let it Go" song. In case if you have no idea how it sound like, link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0MK7qz13bU


Anna sings "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" to Elsa

Come to talk about the plot, actually it is kind of boring for me at the beginning. I thought the one with the magic power was Anna not Elsa, until when I pay more attention watching it I only realize that it was Elsa that has the icy magic power to freeze everything when she gets angry. Anna grows up as a naive and lonely girl wanting her sister, Elsa to play with her. But Elsa refuses to do so because she is afraid that she might hurt Anna due to her icy power that she couldn't even manages it. Anna & Elsa are close when they are young, until when Elsa realizes that she has this kind of power that might hurt people. From that day onwards, Elsa is always in her room refuses to get out from her room to play with her sister. Anna tries her best to persuade Elsa by singing "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" but Elsa still do not want to play with Anna.


When Anna meets Prince Hans during the coronation ceremony. 

Elsa finally agrees to open the coronation ceremony to the public one day and Anna finally has a chance to talk to Elsa. The both of them are good, until when Anna meets Prince Hans of the southern island. Anna wants Elsa to agree on their marriage, but Elsa refuses to do so because they only met each other for a day. Elsa gets angry and makes her kingdom into winter with snow all around. Anna bravely go and search for her sister. This character of Anna reminds me of Princess Merida from the "Brave" movie where Merida is also brave enough to rescues her Mother, Queen Elinor and not letting anyone to kill her when she transforms into a giant bear. Don't you think so?


Anna meets Kristoff in the shop

Olaf, the funny snowman


Anna goes into a shop and get some stuffs when she is on her way up to the mountain. This scene is also reminding me of Princess Merida enters a cottage and meets a witch and the witch gives her a spell to cause her Mother transforms into a giant bear. Back to the shop where Anna enters, here is where she meets Kristoff (Joanathan Groff), the ice merchant with his reindeer, Sven. Anna asks for Kristoff's help to get up to the top of the hill where Elsa is staying there. With the helped by Kristoff and Sven, Anna finally reaches the snow mountain and they meet Olaf, the funny snowman that Elsa builds. In the situation of Elsa not being able to controls her magic power, she freezes Anna's heart during a fit of anger. Only the "true love" of her life is able to cure her by kissing her, which they think it would be Prince Hans (but actually it should be Kristoff).


When Anna turns into ice to protect Elsa from being killed by Prince Hans
(sorry for the low res. picture as this is the best picture I found to show what happened)

Kristoff rescues Anna and bring her back to her Kingdom so that Prince Hans is able to cure her. At the same time, Prince Hans goes to the mountain and catches Elsa and lock her up. Kristoff realizes that there's something wrong therefore, he goes back to Anna. Elsa manages to get out by using her magic power but Prince Hans is about to kill her. Same scene as other movie would do, Anna runs out stand right in front of Elsa and she turns into an ice and Prince Hans is hurt. Elsa cures Anna with her "true love".


Anna on the left follow by Elsa

I rate this movie 7/10 except for the boring beginning part and I thought it would be interesting if Anna has some other power as well like fire since Elsa got the ice power? But the rest are good and catchy especially the song that I have mentioned earlier.


Funny quotes from the snowman, Olaf:

Olaf the Snowman: I can't feel my legs! I can't feel my legs!
Kristoff: Those are my legs.
