Louisa Moore - Screen Zealots on Frozen II

4/10 · Mar 27, 2020

Continuing a series can be challenging, particularly when the original was already considered a treasured favorite. "Frozen II" faced considerable expectations from the start, and this second chapter in the Disney animated story about two sisters doesn’t quite manage to live up to them. Even the impressive visuals aren't enough to compensate for what's missing, which includes a memorable new song (nothing here approaches the impact of “Let It Go”), understated vocal performances, and an uninspired narrative. When Elsa (Idina Menzel) starts hearing an unusual voice, she and Anna (Kristen Bell), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), Olaf (Josh Gad), and Sven embark on a risky quest to understand the origin of her magical abilities. The journey turns out to be unexpectedly somber, though it contains some lovely imagery; however, the overall feel is rather commonplace. The storyline is difficult to follow but also feels somewhat foreseeable, and everything is polished and neatly resolved by the end. The songs (written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez) are particularly underwhelming—there’s nothing that really distinguishes itself. It's a significant disappointment when compared to the memorable musical numbers in “Frozen.” The film seems geared more toward adults than children, and there are some unsettling scenes (such as Olaf’s trek through a dark forest and recollections of Anna and Elsa’s parents passing away) that might be frightening for younger viewers. The concept of an animated action-adventure with two strong female characters is admirable, but the opportunity to create something truly exceptional is lost. Although it doesn't achieve the same level as its predecessor, “Frozen II” remains visually striking and beautifully animated, making it worth seeing only for those who appreciate animation as a form of art. Otherwise, it’s probably best to give this one a pass.
