the beloved Disney musical digs deeper into tensions between the traditional and the bold, bolstered by gorgeous animation and a handful of instant-classic new jams
it's an entertaining revival; beloved heroine Elsa has a great new song as she heads into the enchanted forest in this funny, likable but underpowered sequel
happily, this long-anticipated sequel feels entirely fresh. The world it creates is charming, the wit sparkles, and the songs are all new; The hilarious "When I Am Older" and some philosophical musings on the nature of existence are an absolute delight
an enjoyable theater experience with its gorgeous visuals and impressive soundtrack coming to life on the big screen; Altogether, "Frozen 2" is an admirable sequel, even if it's not quite as great as the original
a sequel that can't miss with its massive constituency and will make another mint, but at the same time can't help but feel predictable, safe and beholden to formulaic rules
"Frozen II," in general, might not capture hearts the way the groundbreaking original did in 2013; it turns out to be a fairly typical sequel: overly busy and meandering, but sure to please all the young Elsas in the audience
