Pretty bold claim by Disney at the end there.

I definitely like this trailer more than the last one.

I wanna see this but that new trailer makes the plot seem like a disjointed mess.

Not really. As much as I love The Lion King, I think of it as one of the lesser Disney animated "classics". I feel that Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Sleeping Beauty easily have it beat.

Agreed, although I'd add The Little Mermaid to the list.

I have mixed feelings about The Little Mermaid . I love the music, the artwork, and the animation but really hate the story. And for some reason I've always wished Flounder would get killed. I don't know why but I have a profound hatred for that fish.

Some promising impressions:

Steven Weintraub ‏@colliderfrosty 3m

Stunned by how much I loved Disney's FROZEN.


Scott Feinberg ‏@ScottFeinberg now

In my humble opinion FROZEN is the best non-Pixar Disney movie since THE LION KING almost 20 years ago. Add it to the list of greats. Bravo.

Disney animated film is BACK!! I was so lucky to get the chance to attend a Frozen screening tonight, and I am left impressed beyond words. There were some flaws of course, but seeing as how the themes revolved around mental health, I found that really appropriate and the charms that made it perfect in its own way. It wasn't Beauty and the Beast, but it was Frozen. And it was awesome

Sounds promising "No Two Jews Blues" so far!

Although that last trailer... ecch. Still too slapsticky.

The marketing for Tangled was pretty lousy as well, but at least it felt like it showed something with a little weight (not much)...

Looking back at the marketing of Tangled, you're right. Sure it was amusing but it didn't really look like anything. Of course, if you look at the marketing for tangled, you also notice that it has very little footage from the actual movie in any of the trailers. At first blush you might think so but it's actually alternate versions of the scenes in the movie.

Heck, just look at the teaser:

Yeah, I remember the trailers for Tangled being pretty poor but it's one of the better Disney movies, in my opinion. Hoping that holds true for Frozen, as that slapsticky stuff doesn't quite do it for me.

My love for Tangled is the only thing that has me interested in Frozen. In fact, the only effective bit of marketing Frozen has had was the teaser with the snowman and the reindeer which really had nothing to do with what the film is even about.

Giles, there's a showing of this in Mazza Gallerie on Monday at 7:30. I didn't get tickets but just a heads up if you wanted to try.

More impressions:

Den Of Geek ‏@denofgeek 16h

We do not say this lightly, but Disney's Frozen is the best Walt Disney Animation Studios movie in a generation.


Den Of Geek ‏@denofgeek 16h

Genuiney: it's by a country mile the best family movie of the year, and would sit alongside the Disney movies of the late 80s/90s with ease.

Looks extremely promising. Tangled was probably my favorite Disney film of all time, so seeing as this is being advertised from the makers of that film, means I'll check "Frozen" out opening weekend.

Sounds promising which is good because all the trailers look terrible.

Re: Disney's Frozen - (11/27/13)

Here comes the Raves:

Hollywoodreporter:

Shrewdly calculated down the the smallest detail in terms of its appeal factor, this smartly dressed package injects a traditional fairy tale, Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, with enough contemporary attitudes and female empowerment touches to please both little girls and their moms. Energetic, humorous and not too cloying, as well as the first Hollywood film in many years to warn of global cooling rather than warming, this tuneful toon upgrades what has been a lackluster year for big studio animated fare and, beginning with its Thanksgiving opening, should live up to box-office expectations as one of the studio's hoped-for holiday-spanning blockbusters.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/mov...review/652699? (Major Spoilers)

Variety:

But this always enjoyable tale of mysterious magic, imperiled princesses and square-jawed men of action proves longer on striking visuals than on truly engaging or memorable characters. With the family crowd pretty much to itself this holiday season, “Frozen” should generate considerable box-office heat, if not quite the same level of critical and audience affection that attended the superior “Tangled” and “Wreck-It Ralph.”
http://variety.com/2013/film/reviews...ew-1200782020/

The Wrap:

This is the best animated musical to come out of Disney since the tragic death of lyricist Howard Ashman, whose work on “The Little Mermaid” and “Beauty and the Beast” helped build the studio’s modern animated division into what it is today. And while “Frozen” may provide some new outfits for young princesses-in-waiting, it’s a movie that inspires inner strength to go with those outer ruffles.
http://www.thewrap.com/frozen-review...e-beauty-beast

Digital Spy:

Frozen is an exhilarating, joyous, human story that's as frequently laugh-out-loud funny as it is startling and daring and poignant. Hot on the heels of the 90th anniversary, it's impossible to imagine a more perfect celebration of everything Disney is at its best.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/r...y-classic.html

IndieWire:

And this film is an incredibly strong addition to that lineage, one full of genuine magic and awe, where ice castles can materialize out of wintery air and snowmen can dream about hot weather. As far as animated movies go, it doesn't get that much better than "Frozen." It's a new Disney classic.
http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplayli...h-gad-20131104

Den of Geek:

This is the best Walt Disney Animation Studios movie in a generation, and the best family movie - by a considerable distance - of the year. It's an astounding piece of work, and the kind of film that we'll still be buying on whatever's replaced DVD in 30 years' time.

These reviews sure don't match the trailers I'm seeing. I am hopeful they do but now it's just getting overhyped.

Disney seems to not want to advertise that it is a musical, there by highlighting the humor/slapstick
