Frozen is a 2013 animated Disney film that has become slightly popular if you consider slightly popular to mean a worldwide hit beloved by millions of people. It has become 1 of the most popular animated films ever made as well as the most successful in theaters. Because of all that there's several people that think the film is overrated as well as people who thinks it's 1 of the best films ever made. This film is about what I think of the film.
Plot/Writing
People say that the film is about the 2 main women (Anna and Elsa). Frozen is actually about several different things. There's Anna and Elsa's family relationship, Anna's fake romance with Prince Hans, Anna's relationship with Kristoff, Elsa accidentally getting the world in danger, Prince Hans trying to become a king, and the Duke of Weselton trying to get rid of Elsa. In other words there's a lot going on. In fact there's too much going on.
There are so many storylines going on that it's hard to understand what the film is truly about. However that doesn't mean I hate the plot so here's my review of the film's storylines.
Anna and Elsa's relationship doesn't interest me that much. The fact that they barely have any screen time together is partially why. However they do at least make a decent duo with Elsa being the mature one and Anna being the silly one.
Anna's romantic relationships aren't that exciting either. The romance in the film has been praised for being different, but I actually think it's been overdone. It may avoid the type of princess/prince romance from Disney films, but it follows a more tiresome type of romance plot: The story where a girl is dating a guy who turns out to not be very nice and follows in love with a different guy.
The villain stuff is interesting. Well not really Hans, but the Duke of Weselton's rivalry with Elsa is the best storyline in the film. This storyline takes up a small amount of the film, but every scene of it works. It brings excitement, action, and plenty of humor.
The Characters
Princess Anna is my favorite Disney princess. Although her storylines don't appeal to me not much I like her personality. She is kind and sweet, but also eccentric and goofy. She's the second funniest character in the film. Her charming personality and humor help the film a lot.
Queen Elsa looks cool and has cool powers, but I'm not a big fan of her personality. She's kind of a killjoy. She has really understandable reasons to be a killjoy, but that doesn't stop her lack of charm and fun. However her action scene with the Duke of Weselton's henchmen was pretty awesome.
Kristoff makes up for his lack of importance to the plot by being a fun character. A lot of his scenes with Anna are funny. The 2 of them are a good comedy duo. His obsession with ice led to have some goofy jokes that I really like. His reindeer is okay, but forgettable.
I'm not a fan of Olaf. He lacks much importance to the plot and I don't like his jokes. He doesn't do much other than doing jokes.
Prince Hans is the main villain yet the secondary villain is far more memorable to the point that Hans' role is kind of forgettable. Hans is at least a very clever villain with a cool costume, but he wasn't that exciting.
The Duke of Weselton is my favorite character in the film. He brought more entertainment and humor than any of the other characters. I like how over the top and absurd he is. I wish he was the main villain, but his supporting role was great. His henchmen were epic in their fight scene with Elsa.
The Voice Acting
All of the film's voice actors did a good job. However there are 2 that deserve a very special mention. The first Alan Tudyk who did a fantastic job at the Duke's goofy voice. Another special mention goes to Ciaran Hinds who has a small role as the grandfather troll, but he has a pretty awesome sounding voice.
The Animation
The animation is good. The characters look cool and they have great costumes. The animation on the ice is extremely well done. Visually the film is really good.
The Songs
The first song (the ice guys in the first scene) is a cool song. Anna's coronation day song is funny. Anna and Hans' romance song is really well done. I'm not that big of a fan of the other songs.
Overall
Frozen isn't a masterpiece, but it has enough fun characters and entertaining scenes to be worth checking out. The film is somewhat overrated. (The Wind Rises should of won the animated film oscar instead of this film). However I like the film and I hope that the sequel is great.

Not too many people submitted why they love Maleficent so I apologize for this short article
I love how she's so evil she doesn't hesitate to curse a baby just because she wasn't invited to a party. She's even so petty and evil that when it looks like she might win she creates a wall of thorns and becomes a dragon just so Aurora won't wake up -BB2010
Her character design is great, Eleanor Audley is perfect for the role, she is intimidating yet elegant and has some pretty cool powers (including being able to turn into a dragon). -LMH5113
Her voice is PURE evil! -deedragongirl
