9/10
guys this sequel comes with lore!

Warning: Spoilers
We essentially learn about Elsa's powers and why she has them. She is basically the Avatar. It was such a cool adventure to this mystical forest - I remember the first trailer was just Elsa battling the ocean and it took me a long time to accept that this was able to be a musical. This movie is on such a different level than the first, it's wild. The animation is stellar, from lighting to textures, I was nerding out a lot observing the animation.

I still find the first film's songs to be more iconic, but we still got some great musical moments. Jonathan Groff is finally given a chance to use his talents. I literally cried when I saw the Lost in the Woods scene in theaters..... because I was laughing so hard. This cringey music video was all I could've asked for Kristoff. But show yourself....... I'm really gay. Not only does Elsa look like a goddess in this sequence, but the song is so beautiful and powerful. It was the best conclusion to Elsa's song trilogy - along with Let It Go and Into the Unknown.

This entire film was the best way to continue her character arc. Frozen was all about Elsa learning to live without fear, but the sequel was all about her trying to find her true place in the world. This story decision added such dimension to the character rather than leaving her as a queen with ice powers. They made her powers important.... They also killed Olaf..... he was Thanosed and...... yeah that was a bold move disney.

Disney is really good at creating crappy sequels to perfect films. Frozen 2 did not follow suit. It joins Toy Story, Incredibles, Lion King, and.... Brother Bear... in the exclusive list of exceptional Disney sequels.
