FROZEN

From Walt Disney Animation Studios, the creators of Wreck-It Ralph comes a new animated comedy-adventure, this one inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen.

This is the story of two princesses – Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel). Elsa has a special power to turn things to ice and is locked away in the castle by her parents. All is well, if a little lonely for Elsa, until her coronation as Queen brings her secret power to light.

Snow-covered mountains and an iced castle are the backdrops to this tale of true love and friendship. However, it’s the secondary characters that audiences will delight in – Olaf the snowman (Josh Gad) who wishes for summer, and Sven the reindeer with a penchant for carrots. A sweet film for younger children. (LG)
