Great Movie

I love love love this movie! It's the coolest movie! I love the cast of characters, that the storyline is well versed. It starts out as Anna and Elsa, Anna is normal, Elsa has powers. Anna gets on Elsa's bed, tries to wake her up to go build a snow man. Elsa gets dragged down stairs into Anna's room and then Elsa releases her powers, Anna leaps tall snow hills until she flies and lands on the floor frozen. Her sister Elsa screams for help, her parents carry Anna to the trolls, the troll heals her memory and restores it to a happier time, when her and Elsa were playing. They walk away take Anna home, Elsa is forced to wear " special gloves" and conceal her powers, as the trolls revealed evil would only harm her and others. Her father shut her off from Anna, and she sings to Elsa to come build a snowman. Elsa and Anna grow up, one day Elsa is getting ready to be queen, and Anna wakes up late. So, she throws her dress on does her hair up, and dances around singing. She goes on a ship to arandelle where Elsa awaits her arrival. She meets Hans from the southern isles, he's charming, but, very helpful. She falls in love with him at the coronation of her sister, and when Elsa is crowned " queen" she tells Anna she's happy to see her. Before long Hans and Anna run along singing and Hans asks her to marry him, she says yes. She goes back into the castle, tells Elsa in front of the crowd, Elsa rejects her offer of marriage, and tells her not to go. She says " what have I done wrong?" And pulls off Elsa's glove. Elsa loses control of her powers and used her evil powers instead to create ice that would injure the towns people. They stared in utter shock, and Elsa fled the ocean waters, until it froze solid to north mountain. Anna told Hans she'd go after her, Hans stayed behind to mandate the kingdom. Anna left on her horse, fled to the north mountain to find Elsa. She comes up near the top, no cape on freezing, loses her horse, and is forced to fight the freezing air and snow. She stumbles upon a lodge, enters oakens lodge and asks for a coat and shoes. She's puzzled to see shoes but, no coat. Just then a tall, clumsy man comes into the lodge, he's covered in snow. Anna plays it off, and finds out in the den, it's none other than Sven and Kristoff. She tells Kristoff she has to find Elsa. He says he helps no one, acts stubborn and refusal. Anna persuades him to leave at night, so, they get into his sled, Sven runs faster, and faster, until Kristoff flies off after the wolves, the wolves attack him, Anna throws a blanket on fire at them. She puts Kristoff back in, the get to a cliff, the sled crashes, Kristoff has to be dragged up by Sven and anna. They continue until they find the stairway to where Elsa ice castle is. Once their closer the find Olaf, Elsa's childhood snowman, he scares Anna and Anna throws Olaf around until he's whole again. She puts a carrot on his face wrong, then fixes it. Olaf finds summertime relaxing and sings about it,then Anna and Kristoff move onwards with Sven and Olaf, to the ice castle, Anna and Kristoff find the icy stairway, climb it to the castle with Olaf. She's opening the doorway, Elsa appears after she's built her castle up, the chandelier, and the doorway with balcony. Anna tells her that arandelle is in a deep, deep, winter, that she must break the spell, so, she says she can't, she hits Anna with an icy blast. Anna flees the castle without Elsa. The marshmallow monster throws Olaf, breaks him into pieces.anna gets revenge only to anger marshmallow. He comes after them both and scares them to the cliff, Kristoff repels Anna downwards, marshmallow grabs the rope and Anna cuts it. They fall. Anna lands in the snow, Kristoff sees her hair, and Olaf says " he hesitated". He says her hair isn't bad. They run to find the love experts, and when they find them, their hiding, and Olaf talks to them. They unroll out as trolls, and welcome Kristoff and later Anna, they try to fix them up, but, Kristoff says " she's engaged". They try to troll fully we'd them, it doesn't work, so, the grandfather troll told her " only an act of true love can save her" they left, Sven flew thru the woods back to arandelle , dropped her off in the castles door way, she went inside told Hans she needs a " true loves kiss" he was prepared to kiss her, then left her abandoned, he told the king that she died. He lied. She was inside laying on the floor cold and lifeless, Olaf came in lit a match and saved her, until Elsa was captured, broke free, fled the dungeon and then Olaf got Anna out the window, they were trapped! Elsa was walking thru the blizzard, Kristoff was led by Sven to find Anna, Kristoff refused twice, he told Sven to hurry, he almost got to Anna but, by the time he was close, and Hans tried to kill Anna, she stopped hans short and froze solid! Her sister embraced her weeping. She felt her tears and her heart unfroze completely. From then on Anna and Elsa were in separable. Anna gave Kristoff a new sled, and Sven a new title, and then Hans was arrested and the old man was shipped off, Anna and Elsa let winter return after summer was restored in arandelle and ice skated. Anna and Kristoff were happier than ever.

This won't cover the movie, that's been reviewed plenty before the DVD and Blu Ray were released, so this will cover the actual Blu Ray. Unfortunately as with so many, there's a bunch of previews right away, but at least here you can skip them. I'm so tired of discs that don't let you skip past them, and was very glad here we could. My son is 10 and loves this movie, since he's totally obsessed with the music in it. We didn't see it in the theaters until Feb, several months after it was first released. We got the expanded soundtrack within minutes of getting home, and it's the only thing he's let me play in the car for over a month and a half now. When the digital download was released, I got that to hold us over until the Blu Ray release. It was disappointing in that it had such poor sound, stereo only. And of course it was rather compressed, so even the 1080 version wasn't very impressive. So when I got this one playing, I felt stunned because it's such a night and day comparison to the iTunes version I have. I use a Media Center PC so anything I watch, or any of my movies, all play on my 55" LED TV. But I dislike having to use iTunes for watching movies in my setup, I prefer my own Media Browser system to watch my digital movies, or my Xbox One for watching Blu Ray discs. The PC I use has a blu ray player, but the software has a tendency to get the audio out of sync slightly, which is annoying. Extras - it has the "Get a Horse" short that my son loved, several version of the music video, and not just the English versions. It has a very slick extra that talks about some things in the 40's where they initially had assigned a production number to "The Snow Queen" even though it was never realized. This video also had some of the artwork from one of the original Disney artists, I don't recall his name, but there were some really nice shots of some of the things he drew along the Ice Queen theme, and the producers of Frozen talked with his widow about some of his drawings, and compared some of the things they incorporated that they recognized in his work. There is also a "Deleted Scenes" bit that has pseudo animation by taking the storyboard shots and running them one after another to give some sense of motion. But nothing in there really impressed me, and I can see why they were cut. Interestingly enough though was a storyboard about when Elsa was originally going to be "Evil" at the beginning of the work on the project. But back to the picture quality - amazing. I'm watching it now, and after having seen the iTunes version so many times, I just keep gasping at each scene, and how amazing it looks now compared to what we're used to. Surround sound is well done, and it's nice getting the voices out of the center channel and music out of the sides and rear as well as the sound effects. Even in the "Get a Horse" short the surround sound aspects were well done for when Mickey flies the "cow airplane" around behind the audience. Bright, vibrant, and no "washing out" of any of the colors. It's great being able to pause it to see details so clearly, like the cameo of Rapunzel and Flynn. All in all, this will likely be one of the more played DVD's in our Pixar / Disney collection for quite some time, and it was well worth buying. I'd give it more stars if I could.

Disney has done it again! They've produced another masterpiece, this one big and beautiful enough to rival even Tangled and (dare I say it) Beauty and the Beast in its elegance and female independence! Now, I have to admit it, I never went to see this when it came out at the cinema. It was too busy and to be honest, I wasn't too keen on the adverts - no matter how cute Sven and Olaf were. But my friend said it was 'epic' so I bought the DVD, pressed play and watched... And fell in love with the 52nd animated feature... As well as the special features! The story: Now, Frozen is all about two sisters, the Queen and Princess of Arendelle, who are separated by a magical secret. Queen Elsa has the power to control snow, and after an argument with her sister Princess Anna, this is revealed and an eternal winter is released. Anna, feeling guilty and sad over her sisters sudden disappearance and the creation of eternal winter, goes off on a rescue mission to save her town - meeting some new friends along the way. Based upon 'the snow queen' by Hans Christian Anderson, the writers of Disney have done a really good job with this. The characters: Queen Elsa is a troubled and powerful young woman, filled with fear and uncertainty about her abilities. I think Disney have done a brilliant job of portraying her emotions through songs and her powers - I mean, the ice changes colour depending on her mood, how awesome is that? Plus, her sheer determination and sense of duty/protection is admirable, simply from a moral perspective. Anna is probably the most naive character of the entire story, but she's so endearing! Agreeing to marry someone after one day? Though I have to say that the moment she meets the Prince is hysterically funny; all that balancing and awkwardness- and then the horse just lets go of the boat and the prince ends up soaked! Ace. And the prince deserves it - he's a douchebag. Anyway, for Anna, this film is a journey of self-discovery and comedy of errors - she finds out what she wants and what people are really like. And her songs are adorable - Do you want to build a snowman? - has to be my favourite. Okay, l also have to talk about the guys. I'll start with the moron of a Prince. I mean, sure he's handsome and he wears a suit, but really? If his own horse would let him drown, what does that say about a man? On the flip side of things, I love his character from a writers point if view. He's just so sneaky and clever; this is a guy with twelve brothers who is never going to be king, so instead of complaining, he goes and seduces an heir instead! It's brilliant in a way - vicious and underhandedly cruel, but brilliant nonetheless. From bad to beautiful, Kristoff is simply adorable. I'm going to give another huge compliment here to the writers and say that the way characters are introduced and interact with one another is simply superb. Kristoff is a down to earth, fresh kind of guy who values honesty and integrity. He's also protective and relatively intelligent; when he has an argument with Anna over her engagement, his consternation over it is adorable. The fact that he talks to her about getting to know people is admirable and something everyone should consider. He's the type of guy that girls should want to date, not a flashy dude with hardly any substance. The last thing I'm going to chat about is the sidekicks, Sven and Olaf - because who can watch a Disney film without talking about the epicness of the magic and animal kingdoms. Sven the reindeer has to be my favourite; he's like a massive dog in reindeer clothing, and his attitude to life - love and play - is the best ever. He's loyal, smart, and just like other brilliant sidekicks he provides the comedic relief in form of slippery blunders and funny snorts. He's also a bit of a matchmaker, which is quite amusing too. Olaf is the animated snowman with a desire for all things summer. Now, when I first heard him singing, I fell about in fits of hysterical laughter because, really, who the hell would think about dressing a snowman in a summer hat and sticking him on a beach to sing? It is writing genius. Coming into the film at a tense moment, he provides the light-heartedness that we enjoy in Disney while keeping the relationship between the two sisters alive - Olaf was the snowman of Anna's childhood. I'm gonna quickly mention the trolls too. Little tumbling rocks of bundling fun, these family orientated magical creatures were perfect for this film. They kept the story going and egged on the romantic element as well - not to mention making everyone laugh with their song lyrics. Overall, I was overjoyed with Frozen. It is a story of love and triumph over adversity, a tale of sisterhood and family. But what is perhaps even more inspirational about this film is that it shows us even the worst fears can be overcome with hope, trust, and a little bit of love. Well done Disney!

Ich hab mir den Film einfach gekauft ohne vorher großartig Trailer anzuschauen oder Beschreibungen zu lesen. +++++++++++++++++++++ Zur Handlung: *Spoiler-Alert* Elsa und ihre Schwester Anna leben in dem Königreich Arendelle. Zwei völlig normale Mädchen möchte man meinen. Aber Elsa hat die Kraft Eis, Schnee und Kälte und erzeugen. Eines Nachts schleicht sich Anna an das Bett von Elsa und überzeugt sie davon, wie schon so oft, mit ihr im Ballsaal des Palastes zu spielen. Natürlich mit Eis und Schnee.. Eine Eislauffläche entsteht, es schneit im Schloss und die Schneeberge werden immer höher. Als Elsa versucht die übermütige Anna mit einem Schneeberg vor einem Sturz zu bewahren, passiert das Unglück. Elsa trifft Anna mit einem Eisblitz an den Kopf. Sie wird ohnmächtig und fällt reglos zu Boden. Der König und die Königin bringen Anna und Elsa zu den Trollen, die Anna helfen können, aber zu ihrer eigenen Sicherheit löschen sie alle Erinnerungen an Elsas Kräfte. Erfüllt von Angst schließen der König und die Königin das Schloss und Elsa distanziert sich immer mehr von Anna, schließt sie sogar völlig aus ihrem Leben aus. Einige Jahre später verunglücken die Eltern der sich völlig entfremdeten Schwestern bei einem Schiffsunglück tödlich. Als Elsa alt genug ist, bereitet sich das Königreich Arendelle auf ihre Krönungsfeier vor. Auch Anna ist in heller Aufregung und begegnet während sie durch die Straßen läuft Prinz Hans. Prinz Hans, der mit 12 älteren Brüdern aufgewachsen ist, scheint völlig begeistert von Anna und bittet sie auf der Krönungsfeier um ihre Hand. Überglücklich stürmen Anna und Hans zu Elsa um sie um Erlaubnis zu bitten. Diese weigert sich ihren Segen zu geben, mit der Begründung, dass Anna Hans erst zu kurz kennt. Es kommt zum Streit, der soweit eskaliert, dass alle anwesenden Gäste der Feier die Kräfte Elsa's zu sehen bekommen. Der Herzog von Pitzbühl, ein Adeliger des benachbarten Königreichs, der Arendelle nur für den eigenen Profit ausschöpfen will, bezeichnet Elsa als Hexe und Monster und befiehlt seinen Männern, sie einzufangen. In Panik flieht Elsa in die nördlichen Berge und bringt unabsichtlich tiefen Winter über Arendelle. Völlig losgelöst baut sich Elsa ihren eigenen Eispalast in den Bergen und bereitet sich glücklich auf ein einsames Leben vor. Ohne es zu wissen, erweckt Elsa den Schneemann Olaf zum Leben, welchen Anna und Elsa bereits in ihrer Kindheit gebaut hatten. Anna macht sich unterdessen auf die Suche nach Elsa und reitet in Richtung Norden. Auf dem Weg dahin begegnet sie Kristoff, einem Eislieferanten und seinem Rentier Sven. Anna gelingt es Kristoff davon zu überzeugen, sie in die Berge zu bringen. Auf ihrer Reise dahin treffen die beiden auf Olaf. Dieser bringt sie zum Elsa's Eispalast. Anna trifft auf Elsa, und während sie alles daran setzt, ihre Schwester zur Rückkehr zu überzeugen, weigert sich Elsa, weil sie immer noch Angst hat, Anna zu verletzen. Diese bleibt aber hartnäckig, was dazu führt, dass Elsa in ihrer Aufregung die Kontrolle über ihre Kräfte verliert, Anna versehentlich erneut verletzt und dieses Mal mitten ins Herz trifft. Damit Anna fortgeht, beschwört Elsa ein riesiges Schneeungeheuer, das sie und Kristoff rauswirft. Nach der Flucht bemerkt Kristoff, dass sich Annas Haare silbrig-weiß zu färben beginnen und bringt sie zu seiner Adoptivfamilie, den Trollen. Grand Pabbie kann dieses Mal nichts für sie tun und erklärt, dass nur ein Akt der wahren Liebe ein gefrorenes Herz auftauen kann, ansonsten würde Anna für immer erfrieren. Kristoff reitet zurück nach Arendelle in dem Glauben, dass ein Liebeskuss von Hans sie retten kann. Hans, der sich in der Zwischenzeit auf die Suche nach Anna begeben hat, trifft im Eispalast auch auf Elsa und bringt sie zurück nach Arendelle nachdem diese, aufgrund eines vorangegangenen Kampfes mit Pitzbühls Männern, bewusstlos geschlagen wurde und sperrt sie ins Verlies ein. Hans bittet Elsa erneut den Winter rückgängig zu machen, aber sie gibt zu, dass sie nicht in der Lage ist ihre Kräfte zu kontrollieren. Anna erreicht das Schloss und bittet Hans um einen Kuss, um den Eiszauber von ihrem Herzen zu lösen. Dieser offenbart allerdings sein wahres Ich und gibt zu, dass er Anna nur heiraten wollte, um sein eigenes Königreich zu bekommen. Er lässt Anna allein zurück. Hans beschuldigt Elsa für den scheinbaren, aber unwahren Tod ihrer Schwester und will sie töten. Elsa gelingt es aus dem Verlies auszubrechen und flieht erneut. Während Anna von Olaf offenbart bekommt, dass Kristoff sie liebt, trifft Hans auf Elsa und erzählt ihr, dass ihre Schwester tot sei und sie verantwortlich dafür ist. Aufgrund ihrer Verzweiflung lässt der Sturm nach, wodurch Anna und Kristoff die Chance haben sich zu erreichen. Kurz bevor es Hans gelingt Elsa zu töten, springt Anna allerdings dazwischen und erstarrt zu einer Eisstatue. Elsa bricht, Anna in diesem Zustand sehend, in Tränen aus, doch kurze Augenblicke später taut Anna wieder auf: ihre Entscheidung, sich für ihre Schwester zu opfern, aber auch Elsas tiefe Trauer stellen einen Akt der wahren Liebe dar, in diesem Fall Schwesternliebe. Nachdem Elsa klar wird, dass die Liebe der Schlüssel für die völlige Kontrolle über ihre Kräfte ist, gelingt es ihr, den ewigen Winter zu verbannen. Olaf erhält sein persönliches Mikroklima in Form einer kleinen Schneewolke, damit er auch die warmen Jahreszeiten übersteht. Hans wird, nachdem Anna mit ihm durch einen kräftigen Faustschlag ins Gesicht abgerechnet hat, zurück zu den südlichen Inseln geschickt, wo ihn seine Bestrafung durch seine zwölf Brüder erwartet und Elsa bricht für alle Zeiten jeden Handel mit Pitzbühl ab. Elsa verspricht, die Tore des Schlosses nie wieder zu schließen und ernennt Kristoff zum offiziellen Eislieferanten von Arendelle. Er und Anna küssen sich und werden ein Paar. ++++++++++++++++++++++ Mein Fazit: Ein wirklich toller und gelungener Film, mit viel Herz und Witz. Die Lieder sind toll und melodisch und geben dem Film noch eine ganz besondere Note. Für mich gehört dieser Film in eine Filmsammlung, auch wenn bei mir noch keine Kinder im Haus leben. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Daughter loves the movie. One of the best movies to watch. Thanks
