Frozen II poster

The art style remind me a mix of Samurai Jack and Secret of Kells,

I mean, that art simple, but strong...

Not bad. Didn't grab me as much as the first, but it had at least 2 good songs I think will endure.  My 11 year old liked it a lot.

Saw it, it was fun, I didn't understand the parents relationship at all though. What does the dad know, when does he know it, what was the mom's relationship to the spirit. I think I may have missed a few elements but ultimately it wasn't a big deal, still fun.

No. Though I would have been fine with it.:D

I enjoyed it a lot! I'd say I liked it as much as the first movie. Great imagery and touching family connections, and yes the songs were great. Kristof has a great one too!:lol:

I may go see it again. Maybe with less kids in the crowd though...;)

Now I need a Tangled sequel, it's been long enough!

Agreed. It hasn't gotten the attention it deserved and the musical numbers were great.  There a TV cartoon series for it, but I don't have the Disney channel and would rather have a feature.

Saw it yesterday with the wife, and personally, I think it was on par with the first. There were more musical numbers, and pretty much all the songs had meaning and contributed to the story. The cast is a pretty talented bunch of folks, and their singing talents elevate the story. So far as the girls' parents' relationship,

This film, while still fun, delved into deeper emotional waters for several of the characters, so there's a maturity to it that smaller kids likely won't get. My wife and I sat next to the steps, and there was a little girl, around 5ish, I'd say, who was too busy walking up and down the stairs counting to herself than watching the film. We went during the afternoon, so there were a lot of little ones in the audience, and of course, the obligatory inconsolable infant who the mother tried consoling by the door instead of taking her out of the theatre, b/c courtesy is one of those mystical properties that only exists in stories here in Spokane. Anyway, I did my best to block out the sound of people's struggles with cellophane wrappers (it is a complete mystery to me why candy manufacturers can't create a quiet wrapping material for their wares), kids talking, a baby's cries, and other such din to hear all that was being said in the film, but I got most of it, and I felt it was a worthy successor to the first, which, IMHO, set a pretty high bar. I'm not a big Disney fan, per se, but Frozen, Moana, Lion King, and now Frozen 2 rank among my favorites. Incredibles is by far, my undisputed favorite Disney film. I didn't feel the sequel quite lived up to it, sadly. I waited a long, long time for it, and it kinda disappointed me. However, Frozen 2 succeeded where a lot of sequels don't. IMHO, it's worth seeing, with or without kids.

While that was my interpretation, it doesn't make sense in a few ways. You could say "he was ignorant of her origins" because he doesn't seem to know it when he relays the story to the kids, but we get a flashback of her saying "I have to tell you about my past." Then she goes looking for a way to 'help Elsa' but that doesn't make sense if she herself is the unifier...

Um, yeah, you got me there.

That was a strong thread through the movie, basically growing older and apart but still being family. Which is fitting when you consider that a lot of the kids who first saw it are either approaching are reaching their teens by now.

I'd accept that. I do wish it had been explained a little more in the movie, as I would have sat through another ten minutes for them to do so.

Though...

I, my wife, and 2 year old liked it.  We didn’t stay for the after credits scene though.  Just looked it up on youtube.

You know what's funny to think about? If this were a Star Wars movie, the fans would absolutely DESTROY it.
