Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Kristoff are back in Frozen2, here's what Variety's chief film critic Peter Debruge has to say about the animated Disney sequel
) would be foolish to stray too far from this formula, but “Frozen II” is anything but a mindless remake.
“Frozen II” isn’t obnoxious about its revisionist point of view — progressive vis-à-vis the Disney values of past decades — though it’s hardly subtle about its millennial-minded politics either.
The first half-hour smacks of calculation, as the movie finds ways to message to audiences where it stands in relation to the original, rather than intuitively picking up where that installment left off, the way the “Toy Story” and “How to Train Your Dragon” sequels so gracefully did.
Reunited by their last adventure, the sisters are now closer than ever. Though Elsa has been named queen, she privately wrestles with the feeling that she doesn’t belong in Arandelle. She’s been gifted with magical abilities — namely, the blessing/curse of blasting snow and ice from her fingertips — and yet, the first movie never explained how or why she came by these talents, while Anna lacks them altogether.
