I LOVED the second film. Better songs (Let it go and then nothing versus tons of good stuff), and I loved the depth of the film. First felt very basic to me. Fun but basic.
There were specific parts of Frozen 2 that I liked very much (Some Things Never Change, Show Yourself), but on the whole the story, although more complex, had much less emotional impact for me. I wanted to love Frozen 2, and saw it more times in the theater than the original, but the ending along with a few other scenes make the movie just so so for me.
Example: Lost in the Woods, which should have been a very emotional, heartfelt scene for Kristoff was turned into kind of a joke by making it in the form of an 80's music video.

I couldn't agree with you more regarding the original Frozen. The movie touched me in a way that no other has in a very long time.
The first 1/3 of the movie set the relationship between Anna and Elsa so well. The "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" sequence was both touching and heartbreaking, and "For the First Time in Forever" perfectly conveyed the contrast between the two sisters, with Anna totally elated at the prospect of opening the gates and possibly even meeting her true love, and Elsa completely frozen with fear, terrified that someone would discover her secret. The coronation scene was also amazing, as the close bond between the sisters was unmistakable, even after 13 years apart.
I can't say I was completely thrilled with Frozen 2, mainly because I didn't like the ending, which I feel has somewhat damaged the franchise, but I did enjoy most of the movie.

France will got it on Disney+ late 2022 because of local laws, I hate it!
That seems so messed up. What's the reason for that law?

Finally watched it, and I'm surprised that it was far superior to the first one in every single aspect (Songs, animation, plot), it is a far more ambitious and mature movie than the first one, so I'm not surprised it didn't become a phenomenon like the first one, they focused the movie on the kids that grew up watching the first one instead of focusing in the new generation.
Soundtrack is fantastic, Show Yourself shoud've been the music signature of this franchise.
Show Yourself was definitely the best song in Frozen 2, but I still like Let It Go more. That entire sequence in the original Frozen was amazing.
I liked some things about Frozen 2 (i.e. Show Yourself, incredible animation), but for me it had nowhere near the emotional punch of Frozen. With the exception of the improved animation, I just thought everything in Frozen was better.

The ending couldn't be better for me.
I'm glad you liked it, but it ruined the movie for me. Like when Anna's letter to Elsa says "keep looking after the forest". I just think that's stupid. The forest will be fine as long as people don't touch it.
I mean, what is Elsa going to do on a daily basis, other than ride around on the Nokk?

Is it a hot take to say Frozen 2 > Frozen?
Despite earning more in box office revenue I don't think Frozen 2 had anywhere near the cultural impact of Frozen.
And in my opinion Frozen had a better story. I just didn't like the ending of Frozen 2. Elsa needs to end her vacation in the woods and get back to Arendelle.
Although I did like this part...

Wouldn't watch F2 again even if I were paid to do so. On the other hand would gladly shell out a few bucks to rewatch F1. Vastly different movies in quality imo. A vs C
I agree that Frozen is definitely better than Frozen 2, but I'd say it's more like A+ for Frozen vs. A- or B+ for Frozen 2.

Gives away the plot and ruins the movie
I've seen people say that but the soundtrack was released on November 15th, a week before the movie was released, so the spoiler was already out there.

📷 One day maybe I’ll understand why Disney chose to promote Into the Unknown for Best Original Song while ignoring the best song in Frozen II. https://t.co/gHcWgaEyWM

What are the odds for Disney making Frozen III?
100%
I'd be totally amazed if they didn't. In interviews it sounds like the entire creative team is already on board with the idea.
The only real question is when.

I don't know all that much about how the overseas BO works but is it surprising that this won't hit a billion OS?
Getting even close to a billion OS is a monumental achievement for an animated film:

Since Frozen 2 is near the end of it's theatrical run, it's time for me to ride off into the sunset (or to Ahtohallan)...
But much like Michael Buble during the holidays each year, I will return from my long slumber when the yet to be announced Frozen 3 enters theaters sometime around Thanksgiving, 2025.

Interesting weekend ahead in regard to which film will come out on top, and in overall Top 10 ranking. If I predicted the Top 10 ranking correctly, I'll be shocked.
>Frozen II, Kaiji: Final Game, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be battling it out in the Top 3. All three films were close last weekend with Kaiji debuting in 1st in revenue but Frozen II being 1st in admissions, but Star Wars wasn't far behind either film. Kaiji will probably have the bigger drop this weekend, while Frozen II should have the better hold, so I'm going with Frozen II winning the weekend. But it's going to be close.
And speaking of Frozen II... Unless it has a better hold than I'm predicting (it really needs a 20/25% decline), we can likely rule out it reaching the ¥15 billion ($140 million) milestone after this weekend. It's been holding fine post the holidays, but not good enough. Meaning, it'll be on course for ¥14 billion ($130 million) and make the showdown between it and Weathering With You a nail bitter for sure.
>Parasite, unsurprisingly, is targeting either a very strong hold, as in sub-10%, or a possible small increase which I'm predicting. Reviews are strong, audience scores are high, and the film was released after winning many awards and then being nominated for six Oscars. It's going to thrive for several weeks to come.
>Last Letter will be the top debut this weekend (unless one of the limited anime films has an unknown fan greeting event I'm not aware of that really boosts their attendance and ticket prices), but won't open to anything remarkable. It's just that time of year with plenty of mediocre openers.
>High School Fleet and Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul are both limited release anime films, which are always difficult to predict. They tend to have dedicated fanbases, and as such, their average ticket prices are typically very high, so I'm treating both of them as I would any other limited anime release.
>My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising will probably fall outside the Top 10 this weekend, but I'm going to include it here just in case it manages to hang on. And because it's receiving a 4DX expansion next weekend which could keep it in the Top 10 for another weekend.-

Really? Hans was blatantly obvious from the get go. I knew from the very first interaction with Anna. My daughter wasn't even surprised
Well, it surprised me, and I remember hearing audible gasps from other members of the audience at his reveal. Then again, I've never been the type of person to watch a movie actively looking for a plot twist.

Again, I think Show Yourself (not Into The unknown) should be advertised more by Disney by uploading more video because it is exactly that kind of song.
I agree 100% with you. Into the Unknown is an okay song, but songs that are just okay don't win awards nor do they attract people to the theater.
Disney was kind of in a no win situation with this. I think the only reason they didn't push Show Yourself and release the entire sequence on YouTube is because it's a major spoiler.
SpoilerBut the fact is, Elsa being the 5th spirit really wasn't that surprising. It was nothing like the Hans reveal in Frozen.

Two thoughts regarding the Frozen 2 Sing-along:
- The release date is two weeks earlier than the release of the Frozen Sing-along in 2013, which was January 31st. I guess Disney thinks Frozen 2 needs the boost now, whereas Frozen continued to have great legs and didn't need any help through the month of January.
- I'll be really curious to hear how the sing-along for The Next Right Thing goes. Not exactly an upbeat, sing-along type of song!
