Analysis Of The Movie Frozen

It is often difficult to determine exactly what aspect of a movie pushes it the extra steps that take it from a well-received film to becoming a timeless classic. People base their idea of a film’s success on a wide variety of factors, from box office success and critical reception to how many awards it won, if any. One company that is no stranger to success on any level is Disney, and the people at Disney are especially well-versed in putting out animated features that do well not only in the box offices and eyes of critics, but in the hearts and minds of kids and parents alike who return time after time to experience the magic that comes alongside a Disney production.

Finally, the creators of Frozen pull all of these aspects together flawlessly by packaging them with a stellar soundtrack featuring a wide range of well-respected talent both on the front and back ends of production. With all of this in mind, I believe that it is not only evident but obvious that Frozen is not only destined to be one of the greatest Disney classics of both our time and times past, but perhaps one of the best films to date.
