My Take on Frozen 2

For me I was so looking forward to seeing Frozen 2. While yes, I am a man, I am also a father of two daughters that simply adored Frozen. All of this being said, we put this up on a pedestal and we were really looking forward to see what would come next. In watching this, I can say that we all loved the movie. The music was memorable and the 80’s ballad in this made my wife and I laugh. Beyond this, we loved how this movie ties up some of the questions from the original movie and keeps it open to possible movies or sequels int he future. The movie was a great sequel and definitely left me with a huge smile on my face. After watching this my daughters and I actually decided to watch this again and you will too!
