Film Review: Frozen

Film Review: Frozen

A learning point from this film would be to look at the detail of the animation  

This new Disney film has been created with a use of extreme detail in mind.

The characters - the detail for characters would have been spread over all areas, the way they look, costumes, movement in their body and facial expressions and also the way they sound.

The characters of Anna and Elsa have a similarity in facial structure and movement to the character of Rapunzel in Disney's 50th animated feature film "Tangled" but has expanded since then to be more life like. for example in the song "Love Is An Open Door" the movements between Anna and Hans mainly in the shadow section become so life like which in my opinion has it's pro's and con's,

Pro's being the development of Disney's technology and making animation close to life. But the Con's being it shouldn't be too life like because it can ruin the illusion of the story and for some people that might use films such as this for escapism and it could change there opinion of the film.
Setting - The amount of detail used for the setting would be on a wide scale because of the size of each location e.g. the city of Arendelle would have detail of the castle (it's doors, windows, turrets, the walls, inside detail, of the paintings, furniture etc.) it's grounds and the surrounding area which changes for both seasons in the film to Summer and Winter.
There is also immaculate detail in the castle that Elsa creates mainly as it grows out of the ground and the detail of inside from the ceiling to the floor.
Ice and snow - one of the best sections the show the detail of the ice would be when Elsa reviles her power at her coronation and creates sharp ice sculptures to show her anger and the detail of the frozen fountains which was clean and crisp to have a realistic look.

As a review as an opinion I found the film one of the best Disney animated princess film's for a long time apart from "Tangled". I would say the story line had real emotion towards it and all the characters had there own unique personality. I think everybody can relate to each character and is a brilliant family film which has happiness, humor and sadness all rolled into one.

Frozen won a BAFTA for Best Animated film this year and is nominated for two Oscars in Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song - "Let It Go."
