Frozen? In 2025?

How irrelevant is a review of Frozen in 2025?! I mean, this thing came out in 2013—what?! I legit thought it was from 2019. Anyway, I had no choice but to rewatch it because my daughter needs a new costume for Carnaval, and she already has two Elsa dresses collecting dust. She doesn’t want to wear them because she’s just not feeling it. Solution? Movie night! We’re watching Frozen and Frozen 2 in hopes of sparking some inspiration (and saving me some cash). And guess what? She woke up today hugging an Anna doll she got as a gift. My genius parenting tactics are clearly working.


Does This Movie Still Hold Up?

Short answer? Meh. Look, I get why kids love it, but personally, I found it boring. Maybe it’s the blue and white overload, or maybe it’s just that icy, cold aesthetic it’s just not my thing. I was literally dozing off by the end. The characters? Not exactly groundbreaking. Olaf is the only one with some personality, and his summer song? Yeah, that was fun. The rest of the soundtrack? It just made me even more bored. Story-wise, there’s nothing revolutionary here. It’s got the classic Disney magic, sure, but we’ve seen this formula before. The animation is gorgeous, but that’s like saying the sky is blue, it’s Disney, of course, it looks good.


Final Thoughts (Not That You Asked)

At the end of the day, Frozen is a kids' favorite for a reason. It’s got the whole sisterly love thing going on, which is actually kinda sweet. If this movie somehow makes my daughter more affectionate toward her little sister, then fine, it served a purpose. But as for me? Yeah, I won’t be rushing to watch it again. So, there you go—a completely irrelevant, uninspired review of Frozen in 2025. Thanks for reading, I guess.
