Frozen 2

Frozen 2 is of course the sequel to the 2013 Disney feature animated film Frozen. Three years have passed since we last left the Arendelle gang at the end of the first one. We learn now of a bedtime story told to Anna and Elsa when they were little by their parents about an enchanted forest and the events that led up to the forest being exiled behind a magical mist. Now that forest is calling out to Elsa urging her to venture into the unknown, yes the same one from the song you probably listened to before the movie came out, except doing so Elsa awakens elemental spirits that have a grudge against Arendelle. It will be up to Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Sven and of course Olaf to venture through the mist into the enchanted forest where they will have to learn about the past and right a wrong before calming the spirits enough save Arendelle.

After seeing the movie one time, I was not quite sold on it, after my second time, it has started to grow on me a little more than the first one. Is the music as good? No, there is maybe two catchy songs, though I feel the songs are more impactful than light and fun. Going through the second time I already knew the myths and lore of the expanded world outside of Arendelle which I feel allowed me the second time to focus more on the actual story than trying to connect the new information to the original.

I have now seen Frozen 2, twice in theaters, with one time being in Dolby at AMC. I will always recommend seeing anything musically inclined in the Dolby format with the loudest best sound possible to help draw audiences into the musical sequences. The projection though for me looked just as good in the standard presentation as it did in the Dolby. How you watch a movie is a personal preference, personally I like watching in Dolby firstly, where there are others happy being in a standard theater, there are those that enjoy the Fork & Screen experience of dining while you eay (To me I find that it is distracting) and then there are the ones that enjoy 3D as their first pick. I did not get to see this one in 3D, for animation though I usually say it is a good choice as its already rendered in a 3D digital environment they tend to look sharper than live action movies in my opinion in 3D, also 3D tends to darken the image through the glasses where the bright visuals in animation help counter that darkening
