A cute animated feature from Disney based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen", about a lonely young woman named Elsa who turns everything she touches to ice. The songs are catchy and the movie won a couple of Oscars, but the storytelling's one-dimensional, a throwback to what Disney was doing 60 or 70 years ago. That's not a bad thing necessarily, but at a time when animators are starting to play to a grownup audience, too, this one's aimed straight at the kiddies.
