I have three boys. My husband and I grew up watching Disney movies that are now classics. We've shown them to our kids to love as much as we do. And as they continue to grow we find new Disney classics to love.
I've noticed of the last few Disney princess movies that the princesses have changed. They are more empowered. They control their own destinies. These are all characteristics I admire. But the latest Disney movie, Frozen, totally turns everything you thought Disney could say about true love upside down. The act of love to save the princess Anna is unlike anything Disney has shown us and I love it! I can not say much more without spoiling the ending.
What I loved about Disney's Frozen
- Female princesses are empowered.
- There is a lot of great music in the soundtrack. Before the movie ends, one of these songs is going to be your favorite.
- The story of sisterly love will touch your heart and maybe get your own children to play together nicer.
- Surprise twists — just when you think you know what is going to happen, the story twists in a new direction.
- The graphics were amazing. What the animators were able to create from the snow and ice was magical and awe-inspiring.
- Words and humor that will have you smiling throughout the winter. My favorite from Olaf: "Some people are worth melting for."
There is a snow monster that could be scary to some children, but those scenes do not get violent. It's basically a very large snow monster that tries to keep the characters from getting to the princess. The persistent humor of Olaf will have your child forgetting about the snow creature. After all, here's a snowman that dreams of vacationing in a tropical area. My children loved Frozen. There were no nightmares, and days later they were still talking about it.
