Go see it and buy the soundtrack.

My GF is going on about the Broadway chick in it. I'm sure I'll be seeing it soon.

I'm trying to find someone to go with to see it. I have no problem seeing most movies alone, but seeing a kids movie alone unnerves me.

This is the movie we're talking about, right?
Okay, all kidding aside I'll definitely see this. I plan to wait a few weeks for the hype to die down, so that I won't have to put up with (too many) yapping kids.

Saw it with my nieces. Surprised at how good it was. The songs were catchy, the characters were fantastic and the story was great with its interesting twist.

There was one, but someone left in out on the counter overnight.

I'm going to see it eventually. I've got a free ticket to it, but I don't think it's valid until its second week in theaters.

Sad to see FAN giving Frozen the cold shoulder, lol.

I have a fear of being Frozen in carbonite.

Great, great stuff. People are comparing it to their 90s renaissance for good reason.
Don't let the silly ad campaign fool you, it's not a Dreamworks-ish snark fest by any means. This is pure old school Broadway ready Disney, and the sidekicks are actually likable (as well as, without giving too much away, helpful). And hats off to the opening Mickey short.

This is stupid, but I got a chuckle out of it earlier.
I live in a podunk and we have a little theater that has two screens.
Right now, Frozen is one of the things they are showing. The other is that new Hunger Games, but the marquee just says "FROZEN" "CATCHING FIRE."

Also, "Let It Go" is now stuck in my head. I haven't been able to say that about a main theme Disney song in a long time.

After buying the CD yesterday I've listened to that, Fixer Upper and Do You Want To Build a Snowman about 30 times. Let It Go is definitely the most catchy and stuck in my head, but my favorite lyrics are "By the way, I don't see no ring!" and "HAPPY SNOWMAN!" It's funny, I think I enjoyed Frozen considerably more from how WWE booking has conditioned me to see stories play out in ways that are disappointing and unfulfilling. Like I had all these things that I thought were like hopeless pipe dreams, like the Frozen equivalent of Daniel Bryan triumphing and having a good title reign, expecting them not to happen, and it looked like they weren't going to happen, then they TOTALLY HAPPENED AND I WAS SO TOUCHED AND IN LOVE!

Heard really good things. Man, Disney's been on a solid streak since 2009. Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Winnie the Pooh, Wreck it Ralph...
Perhaps we can finally relegate everything roughly 2000-2008 as its own dork age, and classify everything after as the fourth great age of Disney along with the others (Golden, Silver, Renaissance)

I am however an unabashed fan of Emperor's New Groove, Lilo and Stitch and Brother Bear.

I am however an unabashed fan of Emperor's New Groove, Lilo and Stitch and Brother Bear. Might ended up being regarded in hindsight as similar to the dark age of the 70s through late 80s, a period with enjoyable films but largely outshined by the eras before and after it.

If the 2000s was a dark age, it was a hit-or-miss one IMO. Treasure Planet had some good things about it (mostly Jim and Silver- I agree with Roger Ebert, a straight up adaption would have worked just as well), Lilo And Stitch was fun, New Groove was hilarious and Bolt was cute as hell. It's Home On The Range that kinda ruins it for everyone else.

The 2000s WERE weak, though just like with the 1980s, it ended on a good note (well, the 1980s ended on GREAT note). The Princess and the Frog wasn't a blow-away hit, but it did pretty well and was pretty well-received. This decade has definitely been a rebound decade with Tangled, Winnie the Pooh, Wreck-It-Ralph, and now Frozen. On a sort of related note, over the past few years I think we've seen a slight decline in Pixar films. Notice I said slight. The biggest exception to this slight decline is the blow-away smash hit Toy Story 3. Outside of Toy Story 3, we've seen Cars 2, Brave, and Monster's University. I think collectively these are all a bit below the great work that came before it.

One thing that's consistent for both Disney and Pixar animated features the past 3 years or so is that the marketing is terrible. If I had seen an accurate Monsters University trailer I would've gone to see it rather than waited for video. Brave's marketing basically communicated nothing and the ads for Frozen and Tangled make them look thoroughly obnoxious. Winnie the Pooh was technically released but I wouldn't say that it was advertised at all. Wreck It Ralph's trailer sold a cool movie but it was a different movie where the real video game characters were all over the place and not just in a few scenes here and there (fwiw I think I like the Wreck it Ralph that we got better than the one that was sold).
