Frozen is a Disney animated film that I kind of like. When I say kind of, what I actually mean is that I love it! It's a film that I've seen more times than anybody probably should. I used to watch this film more than once a week. It's a film that quickly grew quite the fanbase. I was certainly one of those fans that quickly got attached to the film.

Frozen centers around the bond between two princess sisters, who are named Anna and Elsa, that go on quite a unique adventure. Elsa was born with ice powers, but she's been ordered to keep that a secret. However, when Anna attempts to marry a prince that she just met, Elsa's ice powers get revealed to the public. Elsa attempts to run off and hide, but she accidentally causes a dangerous snowstorm. It's up to Anna and some new friends she meets along the way to get Elsa to thaw the icy problems.

Frozen has a captivating story that's very creative and engaging. Instead of being a typical romance story where a princess gets together with a prince, Frozen focuses on the friendship between the two sisters. Even though Anna gets into a love triangle, the main focus of the plot is her bond with her sister. Elsa's story of having to hide really pulls on the heartstrings. Seeing her go on a journey of self-confidence leads to a lot of the film's heart.

A lot of what has made such a memorable impact on me is the film's cast of characters. From the main characters to the characters that are barely in the film, this film is packed with enjoyable, entertaining, charming characters.

However, before I start raving about how much I like most of the characters in the film, I have to get the elephant out of the room. In this case, the elephant in the room is Olaf. The wisecracking snowman is highly beloved by tons of fans, but I'm afraid to admit that I'm not one of them. For me, a majority of his jokes didn't land. He also felt somewhat unnecessary to the plot. The one importance he holds is the fact that he's based on a snowman that Anna and Elsa made as kids. Aside from being related to one of Anna and Elsa's childhood memories, Olaf felt superfluous to the film. He's often considered to be the film's comedy relief. However, the film has characters that already brought a lot of comedy, including Anna, Kristoff and the Duke of Weselton.

I would like to bring attention to characters that were barely in the film that left an impact on me. Anna and Elsa's parents are so charming and eloquent that it's a real shame that they weren't able to be a major part of the film. Thankfully, the sequel makes up for that. The Duke of Weselton's bodyguards stand out for their epic fight with Elsa. The Dignitaries are a charming group of royals. Anna and Elsa's butler has some very amusing scenes with the Duke of Weselton. Oaken has a lot of amusing charm in his scene.

The Duke of Weselton is a character that has gotten a lot of mixed reception from fans, but I loved his scenes. Despite not being the true villain of the film, the Duke of Weselton is one of the funniest villains that Disney's ever had. His mischievous antics add a lot to the film.

Prince Hans is an incredibly handsome, charming guy. It's sad that he turns out to be the bad guy, but it does give the film a brilliant twist. Hans could have easily been a bland, generic love interest for Anna, but the brilliant writing made Hans a lot more. As for Kristoff, he serves as the love interest that turns out to not be villainous. He provides a lot of heroism and comedy to the film. However, I'm glad that he's not the one that gave Anna the act of true love that saves her life. If he had done that, that would have been a typical ending. Having Elsa's sisterly love be what saves Anna gives the film a wonderful climax.

Anna provides a lot of cuteness, heart and humor to the film. Due to Anna being the sister that doesn't have ice powers, it would have been easy for her to be boring. However, Anna is given a ton of personality. She's funny in a way that doesn't hurt the film's serious tone. Her loyalty and love to her sister provides a lot of the film's most touching scenes.

As for Elsa, she's kind of cool. When I say that she's kind of cool, what I actually mean is that she's the greatest thing in the history of anything ever! Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but you get what I mean. Elsa's powers are awesome, her voice is music to my ears, and she's insanely gorgeous. However, what truly makes Elsa so special is her development as a character. She starts off as a shy person that hides her true self, but she grows into someone that's confident, bold and outgoing. Watching Elsa go through so much change is a beautiful, inspiring thing. She's an icon that is an absolute joy to watch.

I tend to prefer traditional animation over CGI. However, this film is one of my exceptions to that rule. The film has distinct, amazing designs. The characters look incredible. The action scenes look exciting and epic. Elsa's wardrobe shines with true beauty.

The film is full of memorable, catchy songs. The song that left the biggest impact is Elsa's song about letting go of her fear. It's one of the most beautifully sung and animated sequences to ever be included in a feature film. The lyrics are full of inspiring phrases about letting fear go and embracing a stronger, bolder future.

The film claims that an act of true love will thaw a frozen heart. This film thawed my heart and has brought me an endless amount of joy. This film is a masterpiece that is worth watching multiple times. Elsa is an amazing character that I'll never let go of.
