"No! Why? Why do you shut me out? Why do you shut the world out? What are you so afraid of?" - Anna to Elsa

Why watch this? It is a wonderful story of sisters and healing old wounds.

Plot Summary: After queen-to-be Elsa accidentally uses her secret cryo-kinetic powers to plunge the kingdom of Arendelle into an eternal winter, she flees to the mountains in fear of her own abilities. Her optimistic younger sister, Anna, teams up with mountain man Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and a living snowman named Olaf to journey through dangerous conditions to find her. Together, they race against time to mend the sisters' broken bond, reverse the icy spell, and save the kingdom from a permanent freeze.

  Dad's Preview: This delightful wintry fairytale centers on a feud between two sisters: the ordinary Anna, and the chilling Snow Queen, Elsa. It is into this storyline that Disney injects an entertaining cast of characters centered on all things snowy and Scandinavian. There's talking snow creatures, reindeer, princesses, princes, love, disappointment and betrayal - all a healthy Eskimo needs. There are some really awesome musical numbers. Some critics even compare Frozen to, dare we say, the Disney classics Beauty and the Beast (1991) and The Lion King (1994). I will not go that far, but it's closer than you might think.
