When their kingdom becomes trapped in perpetual winter, fearless Anna (Kristen Bell) joins forces with mountaineer Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and his reindeer sidekick to find Anna's sister, Snow Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel), and break her icy spell. Although their epic journey leads them to encounters with mystical trolls, a comedic snowman (Josh Gad), harsh conditions, and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff bravely push onward in a race to save their kingdom from winter's cold grip.
Beautifully animated, smartly written, and stocked with singalong songs, Frozen adds another worthy entry to the Disney canon.

| 285756 | JD Duran | InSession Film | Fresh | A | 2024-08-19T20:00:01.000Z | 2024-08-19 20:00:01 | The musical choices are great and the visuals they create to go along with it are absolutely stunning. It has all the sillyness and fun you’d expect from a film like this and it’s hard to not like it. |
| 285757 | Diana Tuova | Spotlight on Film | Rotten | 3/5 | 2024-08-12T14:02:37.000Z | 2024-08-12 14:02:37 | The plot is thin, the characters...are annoying, and their motivations are puzzling...It does not help that the "villain" here is vague, and the benevolent characters never complete their "hero’s journeys". |
| 285758 | Danielle Solzman | Solzy at the Movies | Fresh | 5/5 | 2023-12-14T15:25:47.000Z | 2023-12-14 15:25:47 | Ten years later, Frozen remains one of the iconic films in the Disney library and can hold its own against any of the Disney Renaissance films or earlier classics. |

| 285760 | Brian Eggert | Deep Focus Review | Rotten | 2.5/4 | 2022-08-19T03:07:47.000Z | 2022-08-19 03:07:47 | While trying to please everyone, Disney speaks to the lowest common denominator instead of setting itself apart. |

Its level of sophistication isn't Pixar-ian, but that wasn't its aim. This was an attempt to travel back to mermaids, little and beasts, beautiful. And by and large, it does just that. |
| 285770 | Leslie Combemale | Cinema Siren | Fresh | 4/5 | 2019-07-31T19:46:58.000Z | 2019-07-31 19:46:58 | Frozen is, above all, an entertaining and charmingly poignant tale about love overcoming fear. |
| 285771 | Ellie Lucas | The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) | Fresh | 3/4 | 2019-06-09T19:40:31.000Z | 2019-06-09 19:40:31 | Disney still has the magic and charm to turn out something wonderful, and Frozen is a delightful animated treat for the whole family. |

| 285775 | Rachel Wagner | Rotoscopers | Fresh | 9/10 | 2019-02-06T22:36:42.000Z | 2019-02-06 22:36:42 | It is a seminal movie in the Disney Canon for me. |

| 285777 | Amanda Greever | The Daily Times (Tennessee) | Fresh | — | 2019-01-10T00:41:06.000Z | 2019-01-10 00:41:06 | It's a sweet film that offers an escape from paying bills, shoveling snow and the other doldrums of life. |

| 285780 | Jennifer Heaton | Alternative Lens | Fresh | 9/10 | 2018-11-01T15:59:19.000Z | 2018-11-01 15:59:19 | It's ironic that a film about the land being stuck in winter would be so heart-warming, but it's the truth. |
| 285781 | Camilla Long | Sunday Times (UK) | Fresh | 5/5 | 2018-02-23T01:16:57.000Z | 2018-02-23 01:16:57 | This is simply the best children's film in ages, a total frosty delight. |
| 285782 | Josh Terry | Deseret News (Salt Lake City) | Fresh | — | 2017-11-30T00:06:58.000Z | 2017-11-30 00:06:58 | It's hard to say whether the world of Frozen will compare with Disney's other long-celebrated fairy tales as the years roll on, but for this season, parents and children will probably be happy to add the new film to their resumes. |
| 285783 | Renuka Vyavahare | The Times of India | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-11-18T01:19:20.000Z | 2017-11-18 01:19:20 | Even if you are not into fairy-tales, you'll love this one for it's unpredictable and thus keeps you engaged throughout. |
| 285784 | Sarah Marrs | Cinesnark | Fresh | — | 2017-10-20T17:17:09.000Z | 2017-10-20 17:17:09 | Frozen is Disney's best animated movie since their second golden age in the early 1990's and is an instant classic. |
| 285785 | Candice Frederick | Reel Talk Online | Fresh | B- | 2017-09-06T23:07:40.000Z | 2017-09-06 23:07:40 | ... Frozen, the newest Disney contribution directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, falls a bit short. |
| 285786 | Roxana Hadadi | Punch Drunk Critics | Fresh | 3/5 | 2017-01-09T16:37:28.000Z | 2017-01-09 16:37:28 | The songs aren't good enough to stick in your head and the characters aren't good enough to be iconic, but Frozen is pleasant enough. May it have a long life on ABC Family, clogging up your weekend TV holiday schedule for years to come. |
| 285787 | Melissa Leon | The Daily Beast | Fresh | — | 2016-11-10T13:44:32.000Z | 2016-11-10 13:44:32 | Frozen is a transitional step from movies like the nightmarishly retrograde Little Mermaid, to films that won't need to explicitly tell little girls that true love doesn't have to involve marrying a prince or being rescued. |
| 285788 | Rebecca Pahle | The Mary Sue | Fresh | — | 2016-09-20T20:37:30.000Z | 2016-09-20 20:37:30 | I was not disappointed. |

| 285790 | Jason Bailey | Flavorwire | Fresh | — | 2016-06-18T20:01:35.000Z | 2016-06-18 20:01:35 | 'Frozen' feels like it's breaking new ground in telling a story where the women are actually in control, and where the clichs of their narratives are turned inside out, almost as a sly commentary on what has come before. |
| 285791 | Francesca Rudkin | New Zealand Herald | Fresh | 4/5 | 2016-05-18T13:30:04.000Z | 2016-05-18 13:30:04 | Old-school musical numbers, feisty princesses, funny sidekicks and a mix of action, comedy and romance come together in Frozen, a Disney animation that works hard to keep everyone happy. |

| 285798 | Jake Wilson | Sydney Morning Herald | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2014-12-08T07:45:58.000Z | 2014-12-08 07:45:58 | Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee's extremely loose adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen strives to put a post-feminist spin on an archetypal Disney princess fantasy, with mixed success. |
| 285799 | Wendy Ide | The Times (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-12-08T07:43:50.000Z | 2014-12-08 07:43:50 | Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen is the loose inspiration for Frozen, a celebration of family and the bond of sisterhood set against a beguiling snowbound backdrop. And like Tangled before it, Frozen has all the hallmarks of an instant classic. |
| 285800 | Perry Seibert | TV Guide | Fresh | 3/4 | 2014-12-08T07:42:41.000Z | 2014-12-08 07:42:41 | Anyone with an appreciation for old-school musical numbers will find something pleasantly familiar and cozy about Frozen. |

Weirdly, in movies that are almost always aimed at children, that's a love that rarely gets equal screen time in a romance-obsessed world. |
| 285803 | Paul Byrnes | Sydney Morning Herald | Fresh | 4/5 | 2014-12-08T07:37:05.000Z | 2014-12-08 07:37:05 | The animation is simply superb. Ice has never looked so good, except as the real thing. Technical precision and innovation is expected nowadays in computer animation but Frozen combines that with a gorgeously rich design. |

| 285809 | Nick Olson | Christianity Today | Fresh | 3/4 | 2014-12-08T07:03:51.000Z | 2014-12-08 07:03:51 | Frozen's narrative logic could be tighter. Some of its dialogue and lyrical content is out of step with some of the film's mature direction. But none of this is enough to cancel out what's rewarding about the story. |

| 285816 | Scott Marks | San Diego Reader | Rotten | 0/5 | 2014-12-08T06:43:21.000Z | 2014-12-08 06:43:21 | Frozen is a glacially stiff, perpetually unamusing animated musical with a talk-singing score that will leave one pining for the lifeless soundtrack to The Princess and the Frog. |
| 285817 | Michael Smith | Tulsa World | Fresh | 3/4 | 2014-12-08T06:42:06.000Z | 2014-12-08 06:42:06 | Frozen combines cute characters, soaring songs and clever comedy to create a Disney animated winner that tries too hard on some accounts, but that won't stop it from charming audiences. |
| 285818 | Sean P. Means | Salt Lake Tribune | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2014-12-08T06:39:18.000Z | 2014-12-08 06:39:18 | Disney's latest animated tale, "Frozen," ironically enough, is likely to give viewers of all ages a warm feeling inside. |

| 285821 | Corey Hall | Metro Times (Detroit, MI) | Fresh | B | 2014-12-08T06:33:22.000Z | 2014-12-08 06:33:22 | Not only does the movie look great with its scenes of glistening, freezing majesty, but it also sounds absolutely terrific. |

It's a far cry from the insufferable pop-culture spewing, catchphrase-ridden films churned out during at the beginning every holiday period, but nor does it hit the heights of Disney's best output. |
