Need "Frozen" reviews ASAP

I have found familymovieguide.org to be more conservative a review than PluggeIn or Dove. We gurad what the kids watch, but this is one I was planning to let them see.

We actually watched it last night with my 7 yr old son. I thought it was very cute and appropriate. There is some”puppy love” in the movie, but the act of “true love” in the end was suprising, refreshing, and I felt sent a very good message. I would recommend this movie.

We saw it and really enjoyed it!  I was concerned that it was going to be another “Tangled” since the characters looked so similar, but I was pleasantly surprised.  “Frozen” has some great teachable moments you can use in discussion.  I did not realize until someone pointed out later that it is loosely based on “The Snow Queen” by Hans Christian Andersen.  The music is extremely singable and powerful.  I loved that it didn’t stress a boy/girl relationship (although there is one) but rather the sister bond.  If you get a chance to go definitely join them.  This will allow you to discuss the movie afterward and relate it to truth.

The only thing that really bothered me in this movie was in the scene at the trading post.  The fellow that owns the store says something about meeting his family in the sauna… scene cuts to the sauna and there is another man and children in there.  For this reason alone, I wouldn’t own it.  My kids didn’t catch that (only my 23 year old who had seen it before).

I almost never take my kids to the movies, however, I did take them to this one. I was relieved to see the love story was between sisters instead of the usual disney fast-lane love story. My best friend had taken her daughters before us so I did have a bit of a clue. The whole entire movie is about the “magic powers” that one sister has. I found myself constantly saying “this is make believe” and “God alone has the power to control the world”. My 6 yr old dd understands the difference, thankfully. My advice is just to stick to your convictions about what you want your daughters to see/not to see. I gently encourage you to NOT let what others think of you determine your actions. Our job as parents is to please God in our decisions, not other family members. Did you ever let her see it? What were your thoughts?

Frozen was actually the first movie we ever took our kids to see i a theater. And the previews made me consider that it might the last. They were horrible!

When we very rarely go on a movie date I always think to myself “the previews are way worse than the movie I’m going to see”.
