Boxing Day Treat : Frozen

We got organised on Boxing day, instead of heading to the sales at the crack of dawn we wrapped up warm and took ourselves off to the early morning showing of Frozen at our local cinema.  Not surprisingly it wasn't very busy the day after Christmas at 10am. We didn't get the early morning prices with it being a public holiday but since it was a special treat with both me & my hubby taking her out, I didn't mind.



We hadn't seen any trailers for Frozen, I just liked the look of the poster, which mentioned that it was a Disney film by the makers of Tangled & Wreck It Ralph. I also didn't know it was a musical, but I'm now hooked on the 'Let it Go' song from the film. Now I come to think of it, I liked nearly all of the songs.

I was surprised to find out that it was based on The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson, so that's next on my list to read on the Kindle.

As soon as the film started it did remind me of Tangled (which I love by the way) inevitably I loved this. I was also hooked by the story as soon as it started. I started to worry that I was enjoying it more than Mini.

The story isn't your usual prince and princess story, it's actually about 2 sisters, who happen to be princesses...don't worry, no spoilers here.  There's abit of magic as expected & it's beautifully animated.

Everyone I have spoken to has loved it, including a group of girls in their 30's without any children. Another friend with a 5 year old boy wanted to watch it but was worried it might be abit too girly and boring for her son. I suppose I hadn't thought of it from that perspective but I still recommended it to her as the story was cool (no pun intended) & there were plenty of male characters (if that's what little boys want from a film)

I give it 9/10. It's not a 10 because I didn't like the character of Olaf.
If you're still undecided here's the trailer.
