Disney’s newest animated delight, “Frozen,” doesn’t open for a few more weeks, but already anticipation is building, like layer after layer of frost.
Based loosely on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Snow Queen,” a story that Walt Disney himself tried unsuccessfully to develop in the studio’s post-war years, “Frozen” follows Anna’s quest to thaw Elsa’s heart and return the kingdom to less icy conditions. Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), a gruff mountain man and Olaf (Josh Gad), a chatty snowman, join Anna on her quest. It’s a magical movie, folks. The trailer calls it “The Greatest Animated Event Since ‘The Lion King,'” which is pretty fair. It also doesn’t hide the fact that the movie is (gasp) a musical, with some really, really wonderful songs.
If you aren’t jazzed about “Frozen” already, well, this trailer will probably make you want to start in on your own Elsa and Anna costumes for the next D23 Expo.
