Is it actually good or just your standard CGI kids movie?

They're gonna need to add a bunch of songs to that last half, that was kind of jarring in the film.

 

[Schmo Florez]

Hopefully they can flesh out the story a little more. There was a lot crammed into 90 minutes.

I seem to be in the minority around here, but I hated it. It started off strong then just fell apart in the second half. I love Tangled and Enchanted, but I just couldn't get into this one.

 

[massoluk]

My only complaint about the film is that they forgot to write songs for the second half, I guess I'll agree to that.

 

[The Lamp]

^ I agree with that. I wish they had written a cool song at the end during the plot resolution to kind of seal everything. Would have been nice for either a new song or a final reprise of For the First Time in Forever.

It's awesome. Go watch it.

Kristen Bell.

I don't know that she has a strong enough voice for a Broadway stage show? I know she's done musical theater but... eh.

If she can pull it off, I'd like it.

 

[flyover]

I am not surprised. Always seemed obvious to me.

Yeah, since they got Robert Lopez to co-compose the songs (with his wife), it seemed like this was planned from the get-go. I think it could translate really well to the stage.

Idina Menzel better play Elsa.

I pretty much hated every song in that movie except for Josh Gad's idea of what summer would be like. I would probably pass on this.

Singing aside, I enjoyed the movie. Not sure how they'd go about adapting it for the stage though.

 

[Xun]

I can't say I'm surprised.

Yes please, in the states.

Touch Maelstrom though and I'll be pissed.

Indeed.

I'm not sure what I'd do if Maelstrom was ever destroyed, which I think is sadly inevitable at this point.

Epcot of old is already pretty much dead, but that would be the final nail in the coffin for what was once a unique park.

it's mind-blowing, go watch it

I have to say the movie felt like an extremely elaborate storyboard for the musical. Not saying I didn't enjoy it, but everything was tuned for Broadway. I never got that feeling with Lion King.

The songwriters' resume is Book of Mormon and Avenue Q , the Broadway thing wasn't surprising. The songs were infinitely better than Tangled's forgettable ones, and they got 4 strong songs out of the bunch. (Do You Want To Build a Snowman? First Time in Forever, Let it Go, and In Summer.)

The villain is shoehorned in because the movie was rewritten at some point when Disney realized it was a little too standard and "old school", but it's funny and has great songs
