This movie was so awesome. It's one of the best Disney films I've seen in years. The soundtrack is great, the animation is stunning, it's sweet, it's funny, it's everything you could ask for.Princess Elsa (Idina Menzel) was born with the magical ability to create ice. After a childhood accident involving her younger sister, Anna (Kristen Bell), Elsa is frightened into hiding her gift. Her parents close the castle, and have Anna's memories of the event erased by trolls. Anna grows up completely shut off from her sister without knowing why, even after their parents' untimely deaths. On the eve of Elsa's coronation as queen, Anna meets Prince Hans of the Southern Isles (Santino Fontana) and it is love at first sight. Elsa refuses to giver her blessing to the match because, hello, her sister literally met him that night, and a sisterly fight ensues during which Elsa's powers break free. From there it only takes one voice to cry "Monster!" and Elsa is on the run, leaving her kingdom snowbound in the middle of summer. Anna must brave the icy wilderness to make amends to her sister and get the unnatural winter to stop with the help of local ice cutter Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy snowman named Olaf (Josh Gad) who just wants to feel the sun on his face.
Elsa's declaration of freedom "Let It Go" was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song but they're all winners. "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" will give you the feels.
Oh, and I almost forgot the accompanying short "Get a Horse" starring Mickey, Minnie, and the whole crew. It was one of the most beautiful combinations of old-school line drawing with modern CGI I have ever seen. Christy said it alone was worth the price of admission.
