Review of Frozen II (2019) by Foxgrove — 24 Nov 2019

Whilst one cannot blame the producers for wanting to cash in on the original film's success, this time out it's like watching a precocious child acting up, both irritating and unlikeable. The screenplay is overly complex for adults, let alone small children, and the dialogue and characterisation is often quite patronising.

The animation is still great, but the songs fail to hit the heights. A couple of them aren't too bad in themselves but as presented here add nothing to enhance proceedings. The opening ballad is blandly nice, but 'lost in the Woods' is embarrassingly showcased like a pop video of the 80's.

As for 'Into the Unknown' it follows all the familiar cadences of 'Let it go' but a classic it definitely isn't! Perhaps we can now say goodbye to Elsa and co and let this franchise go. With box office receipts as they are, I somehow doubt it.
