In the Picture: Characters from "Frozen"

I’m a big Disney fan and again they did it. They made an animation that I love. And in the old fashion way, with songs! Off course “Frozen” also has some wonderful characters that I would like to share with you. Here they are.

Elsa

Voiced by: Idina Menzel

As the queen regnant of the kingdom of Arendelle, Elsa appears calm, reserved, regal and experienced in grace. Beneath this elegant appearance Elsa is quite complex. She is troubled with her abilities.

Anna

Voiced by: Kristen Bell

Anna is, unlike her sister Elsa, eccentric, optimistic, energetic, awkward and far from elegant. She usually acts before she speaks and can be rather impulsive. Anna does holds a lot of innocents to her. She is a pure and hopeless romantic, dreaming of romance the minute the gates open.

Kristoff

Voice by: Jonathan Groff

Kristoff is a bit of an individualist and acts as a loner. He can also be rather grumpy and selfish at times, as well as a bit lazy. But with all these flaws comes a heart of gold as well. His best mate is his reindeer Sven and he brings out his loving side.

Olaf

Voiced by: Josh Gad

Olaf is a goofy and naïve snowman, but extremely lovable and caring towards his friends. Because he was built during their childhood, Olaf retains the childlike personality that filled Anna and Elsa during those yearsm appearing to be very whimsical and playful. Olaf has an odd fascination for summer, he fantasizes about what summer would be like for a snowman, completely unaware of the tad consequences.

Hans

Voiced by: Santino Fontana

At first, Hans looks the prince any girl would dream of. Anna falls for him right away. But, Hans is cold, conniving, cruel and calculating. He has a hunger for admiration, power, obedience and chivalric honor. As the youngest of thirteen siblings, Hans has spent his life being ignored.

Sven

Voiced by: -

Sven is a loyal, goofy and rather childish reindeer. He spends most of his time by Kristoff’s side. Sven is his conscience. He may not seem intelligent, he does have a strong moral character. He constantly convinces Kristoff to do the right thing.

100 Movie Challenge 2015 - # 2: Frozen

Director: Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee

Genre: Animation/ Adventure/ Family/ Fantasy/ Musical

Runtime: 108 minutes

Year: 2013

Starring: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, Santino Fontana, Alan Tudyk, Ciarán Hinds

Description: When princess Elsa (Idina Menzel), with the power to turn things into ice, curses her home in infinite winter, her sister, Anna (Kristen Bell) teams up with mountain man Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), his playful reindeer Sven, and snowman Olaf (Josh Gad) to change the weather condition.

Review: In “Frozen” the winter wonderland from the famous Christmas songs, comes to life. The setting, snowy Scandinavia, looks stunning and perfect for the 3D effect. But “Frozen” isn’t just nice images. The story is timeless yet contemporary. Although the convincing bad guy is missing, the characters manage to win you over. From sisters Elsa and Anna, to Kristoff and his faithfull reindeer Sven. But it’s Olaf that is probably the most memorable (and huggable).

Kristen Bell, who voiced for Anna, has a surprisingly good singing voice. But Idina Menzel, as Elsa, blows you away with her beautiful sound.

What I found refreshing is that “Frozen” somewhat mocked other princess stories, where two people get married after just meeting. But the rest makes it classic fairytale and Disney. I can totally understand the success of “Frozen”.

With likeable characters, a vivacious story and old fashioned show stoppers, “Frozen” is a wonderfull Disney musical. Off course there is a message, but it’s not shoved in your face. The ideal animation to watch with the entire family. It’s simply heartwarming.

Rating: 4,5/ 5
