Pavlinich Reviews: Frozen
Frozen. Dir. Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck. Disney, 2013. Currently in theaters. 108 mins.
Reviewed by: Elan Justice Pavlinich ([email protected])
Frozen has been under revision since 1943. Proposed, abandoned, revived, and defunded, for decades multiple teams at Disney have struggled to render the dark tale by Hans Christian Andersen, The Snow Queen, relatable to audiences. Now, after a tradition of frustration, writers Jennifer Lee, Chris Buck, and Shane Morris have constructed a screenplay that frustrates tradition. Directed by Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, with powerful songs by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Frozen came to fruition before audiences in November of 2013. READ FULL REVIEW HERE
