FROZEN II - Beautiful Animation, Better Storyline !


It's been six years since we last saw the familial love between Elsa and Anna, and now we are presented with this sequel to the mega-blockbuster FROZEN. Elsa has learned to control her powers, and she's happily settled in Arendelle.  But still, some questions were left unanswered : Where did Elsa's powers came from ? What happened to their parents ? Is Anna also special ?  One day a haunting and persistent voice kept calling to Elsa, making her wonder if it might give answers to her many questions. Elsa, together with Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven, followed the voice and travelled north of their kingdom to an enchanted forest.

This sequel expands the story arcs of Frozen and digs deeper into Elsa and Anna's origins, further developing their characters. We learned more about their parents and their connections to an ancient tribe called the Northundrals.   


We saw the film in an IMAX theater and it perfectly showcased the wonders of this animated feature. The film has plenty of stunning set pieces, heartfelt moments, life-threatening action sequences, and humorous scenes both for the kids and adults. The songs are quite good, although it will be hard to equal the success of the original's hit tunes. "Into The Unknown" and "Lost In The Woods" are stand-outs.  

Children will surely enjoy this movie, as well the adults who will accompany them. My verdict ? The first Frozen has better songs, but this one has a better story. Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. Rated PG-13. From Walt Disney Pictures.
