The problem this film will always have is it’s not Frozen and to be clear it isn’t. I love Frozen and in the song “Let it go” it has a wonderful anchor tune that lives long in the memory.

While it never hits the heights of the classic original, this is by no means a miss and is more than solid sequel. It doesn’t quite have the heart or emotional pull of its predecessor or the original feel of the story, but it still has plenty going for it.

The animation is stunning and for me there felt like some hugely cinematic shooting choices not often seen in animation.

The story is relatively straightforward but I thought the final act worked well and provided an emotional end that tugged on the heart strings.

The humour remains just as strong with Olaf providing the comic centre and the scene were he recreates the original film for their new friends is brilliantly done (stay for Olaf’s end of credit sequence) as is Kristoff’s 80’s power ballad.

The original Frozen was such a wonderful movie the sequel would always struggle to live up to it and while it falls short it is still enjoyable and the young members of the audience clapped and cheered at the end so it seems it ticked the boxes of its target demographic.
