Movie Review: Disney's Frozen (2013)
It's more a Barbie movie than a traditional Disney classic. There are the heroines and some clever little animated animals. I loved the marvels created by ice and the fun songs that kids will love to sing and dance to. I still have "in summer" on a loop. And it's simply beautiful.
The eldest sister has a magical power to freeze things and create icy things. But for fear of hurting others with her powers she is taught to hide them, and be hidden herself. She grows up in isolation, especially from her sister who she had hurt in the past (who now no longer remembers that her sister has magical powers). You can only hide for so long, when her power becomes exposed, she runs into the mountains turning everything along the way into winter. Can the love of a sister or the love of a lover save the world?

My psychological perspective:
I loved the many themes bought out for kids in this movie. Definitely one to have a chat about after the movie.
Topics to talk to your kids about
Guarding our hearts, sibling love, courage, isolation, betrayal, grief, being unique

My Christian Perspective:
Yes. In typical Disney fashion, Love is what can save the day. But this time, there is less emphasis on romantic love than friendship and family love. The bible tells us to guard our heart. And this echoes throughout the movie.
This is an important lesson for all wannabe princesses out there. How can we fall in love with someone if we don't even know them?

My overall rating:
ExcellentThis is a very useful resource or a decent use of time.
I love a disney family movie. This is one to keep on the dvd shelf, the kids will love to re-watch this for years.
