I hate to admit that it was.

 

I really did not care for Frozen. The movie was forgettable and the music, doubly so. Moana is leagues better. Even Tangled was. I really hope Disney is actually going for something good here other than a cash grab. I know with Frozen, it's really tempting to just go the cash grab, route, but still.

[Keyser_Soze]

I never saw the first one.

[DarkStar189]

God damn Elsa its called a boat.  Find one and use it.

[TheLeon]

I need to get out of retail before my store is once again flooded with toys that play "Let it Go". 

[TwinIon]

Great teaser.

I'm sure the new movie will have a saying like "Never let go".

From what I've rad it definitely don't think it's a cash grab. It's going to make a buttload of cash, of course, but they took it seriously.

Word is they've come up with something different but just as catchy. I freely admit I absolutely loved Let It Go, or at least the song got so stuck in my head that I thought I loved it. It was really the sound of the music more than the lyrics, because I actually enjoyed hearing it sung in other languages.

I'm fully ok with a Frozen sequel if it's better than the first one. I'll be extra ok with it if the soundtrack is actually good. The two most recent Disney music-heavy animated films are Moana and Coco and those both have phenomenal soundtracks. Cars 3 was a good, earnest effort. It wasn't great, but at least Pixar was trying. Let's see if Disney can pull off the same effort.

[CastlevaniaNut18]

I have faith Disney will get this right. I really liked the first one, but when I worked in pediatrics, it played incessantly on the kids' TVs, so I got kinda burned out. 

 

Crazy to think the first one came out nearly six years ago.

Moana and Coco were indeed phenomenal. Can't tell you how many times I've watched them. I even got to see Moana before it's release. I was down at Disney and received a special invite to vacation club members, they set up a theater on the beach at the Polynesian resort. 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

I still need to watch Moana and Coco.

Coco is on Netflix

You should fix that. They're both so very good with some incredible soundtracks.

I know, and I own Coco on blu-ray and it's ripped to our NAS. 

 

I just haven't gotten around to them yet.

[Reputator]

Yeah wasn't expecting that to be so dark. And the music choice was a pleasant surprise.

 

I definitely felt like Frozen was a good little step up from Tangled, especially in terms of music. It's unfortunate that it became so overplayed and basically ruined from that, because before that happened, I really liked the movie. I'll have to break with the ranks and admit I just couldn't enjoy Moana as much. I didn't feel like the story or the music held up as well.

[legend]

Speaking of Moana and Disney music, I'm not ashamed to say that I listen to this track all the fucking time  

 

 

 

Alessia Cara is pretty awesome in general though.

 

[Mercury33]

Low key I think Moana has the best music of any Disney movie. The Shiny song the crab sings is so addictively fun to listen to.

it's a great song

[johnny]

Moana was pretty meh imo. Nothing was bad about it... just nothing really stuck with me. Frozen’s music was much catchier and enjoyable which made the film better than it probably actually is. I think the music getting played to death works against it and makes the movie seem worse. 

[Ghost_MH]

How are there this many people that enjoyed Frozen? The movie is just a mess. Characters don't act in ways that make any in-universe logic nor does the story make a lick of sense. The movie flows like a film that was rewritten in the lead up to post under a new director that had nothing but contempt for film's original direction.

 

None of Frozen's problems are ones that Moana or even Tangled has. Moana is just neat and tidy all the way through. It's also the closest, I believe, Disney had ever gotten to recreating the magic Studio Ghibli has been cranking out for decades; only they also managed to throw in a ton of great music on top of it.

[Greatoneshere]

I was lukewarm on Coco, Moana, and Frozen (in order from best to least best). All were good to varying degrees, but none were great. It might be that the Disney Animation / Pixar formula is . . . getting formulaic because I was mostly bored by all three movies (with some touching and humorous moments interspersed).

 

For music, Moana was the best, followed by Coco, and then Frozen, for me. It's been too long since I saw Tangled for me to comment on the music in that one.

 

No music in them, but Inside Out and Up remain the high watermarks for me, and Kubo and the Two Strings is better than all of them arguably.

Yeah, that's partly because they kind of decided to do a 180 on the story with part way into production.  Elsa was originally supposed to be the villain.

Kubo was so good.

Kubo was so good.

 

Wasn't that purely for marketing reasons? Like, her song was too good for a villain, so let's switch things up. That's how you tell a good story, right there. The movie is just so unevenly paced, but it never becomes truly bad. It just slinks away into forgettable territory.

 

I just rewatched the movie like three times, so the mess is very fresh in my head.

 

Kids. I'm so happy my kids like Moana and Coco a lot more than either Tangled or Frozen.

[NeoJoe]

I loved the first one so I'm excited for this one. The trailer looked awesome!

Something like that.  When they heard the song that was written it ended up playing more empowering than sinister and something something marketing girl toys and boom, Elsa is a hero now.

Ah, yes. The empowering power ballad about throwing away your home and family to live as a hermit that doesn't care about the wintery death you've laid upon the innocent citizens of the country you just promised to shepherd like two hours earlier.

Why was Elsa born with magical powers? The answer is calling her and threatening her kingdom. Together with Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven, she'll set out on a dangerous but remarkable journey. In “Frozen,” Elsa feared her powers were too much for the world. In “Frozen 2,” she must hope they are enough.
