An entertaining sequel

When we got to the cinema last night, my friend and I realised that neither of us had seen a trailer for this film. Weird considering how big a film it is, but I've been left wondering if this has had an impact on our overall enjoyment of the film.

Either way, Frozen II is an impressive sequel in that it's actually very good. The animation is superb as you'd expect from Disney and there's a lot of heart and humour in this. There are 2 notably stand out brilliant moments in this film: the first is Olaf's retelling of the events of the first film (I nearly wet myself laughing at this point) and Kristoff's power ballad - not only is it a great song but hilarious too - I won't spoil it for anyone but Sven and the reindeer, genius. The songs themselves are good and there are some stand out tunes amongst them all, but I did feel like they didn't quite match up to those from the original. I've actually come out of the film with Let It Go stuck in my head rather than any other the newer tracks.

The plot in this film is good, it's your typical Disney fare with some fun and adorable characters thrown in. My biggest problem with this though is the overall cheesy lovey dovey over affectionate-ness of it all. Yes I know that's not unusual for a Disney film, but this felt like way too much even for Disney. I was ready to reach for the sick bag by the time it finished. It's a shame really as I think if they had eased up on the over the top sisterly love, I would've rated this a little higher as I really enjoyed everything else. Or maybe I just hated this aspect because I'm a stone cold heartless Brit...

Overall a very good impressive sequel, that almost comes close to matching up to the original.
