December 30th
Welcome to my last blog of the decade. Man, end of the decade already? My, how time flies, doesn't it? A lot of stuff had happened. Toy Story 3 came at the start, and Toy Story 4 came to end it. The How to Train Your Dragon trilogy started at the beginning, and ended strong near the end. Frozen became a phenomenal success, and in speaking of Frozen, today's blog is about it's sequel, six yeas later, Frozen 2.
Frozen 2 is surprisingly better then the first I must admit. Olaf is more funnier, and it's more darker. You may not think this is a Frozen movie, but it is, and it may be convoluted, but it's beautiful and more entertaining. I'm just glad Disney made something this year that's not a live-action remake. And I mean pure Disney, so Toy Story 4, and other properties that the mouse house owns now, doesn't count.
So, it starts off as Anna and Elsa's parents tell them stories of the Enchanted Forest, and the Dark Sea when they (Anna and Elsa) were children. Years later, Elsa hears a voice calling out for her, and decides to venture into the unknown to go and find it. Anna, Olaf, Sven, and Kristof join her, and stuff happens on their journey. Kristof tries to propose to Anna, but stuff keeps happening to prevent it.
As you may have guessed, Anna and Elsa are more together in this then the previous film, so they have more of a relationship. Some people might argue that the others aren't really needed, and just there for the ride, like some of the main toys of Andy's in Toy Story 4. But at least Kristof has a little story going on with him trying to propose, so that's something, right?
The songs were good, and feel like they were needed, unlike the troll song from the first. At least one song parallels Let it Go. I don't know if they're replace Let it Go as a repeating song that kids irritates their parents with, but this film is still new, so we'll see. I won't be surprised if they do. But I think kids might not Let it Go, go anytime soon, but we'll see.
So, even through you may not like the fist Frozen film, you might enjoy this better. If you didn't like Olaf, you might like him better in this film. If you want to find out if Kristof ever succeeds in proposing to Anna, you're going to have to see this film, or find out another way, but it wouldn't be as surprising and enjoyable if you cheat. Once you see it, it might thaw your frozen heart on the franchise, and present it in a whole new light in your eyes.
Happy New Year, and I'll write some more in the new decade.
