Featuring fairy tale vistas of twilit snowflakes and enchanted palaces, as well as some of the most amazingly nuanced performances to ever be wrung from animated characters, "Frozen" is truly one of Disney’s better cinematic achievements to date. A grand cartoon epic addressing issues of faith and empowerment that somehow manages to avoid all the tired clichés these productions usually engender: there are no bumbling lovestruck half-wits here (okay, maybe the snowman but he’s just too cute for words), the women ultimately find strength from within, and the abundant comic relief is more cerebral and less slapstick (though that too is handled very well). And the surprisingly catchy musical numbers would be right at home on any Broadway stage—which I suppose is already in the works.
