Watch Out, We're Mad (1974)

I am very sad to say that Frozen II is forgettable. And in an era of post Zootopia, Moana, Tangled, Princess and the Frog, Wreck-it Ralph, Big Hero 6, the first Frozen, and so on, I’m afraid Frozen II joins the tier of lame Disney sequels. It’s above average for a Disney sequel, but that’s like saying losing your hand is better than losing your arm. They’re both pretty bad. Frozen II is not quite direct to DVD Disney sequel level, but if it wasn’t for the spellbinding animation and budget, it certainly would be. In fact, I’ll take Lion King 1 and 1/2 any day over Frozen II.

I thought Frozen II would be a dark and enthralling fantasy musical, and instead, I felt like I watched a 1 hour and 40 minute advertisement for:

DISNEY’S FROZEN II: THE SOON TO BE STAGE MUSICAL.

(PLEASE BUY OUR MERCH)

Yes, I’m afraid I was cautiously optimistic for Frozen II, despite enduring the now infamous Olaf’s Frozen Adventure (shudder) before being permitted to watch Coco, and all 5 years of overblown exposure to the original Frozen, which I am a fan of…and I was let down.
