Die Schneekönigin - Eiskalt verzaubert

The voices didn't really seem that good to me, they didn't match the characters at all. I think it would have worked better if they even tried using their real voices instead.

It sounded like they were trying hard to make their voices deeper or more scratchy and it didn't work well. The end result seemed more forced on the actors parts.

So not only were the actors pretty bad in my opinion, but... What was with all the abnormally large breasted women.. what. the. hell? Some even talked in mannerisms to make their breasts bounce more.

Overall, I was not very happy with this movie. The characters seemed very stiff and it didn't flow very well. Pass.

For a movie with a lower budget (compared to other animated movies), The Snow Queen is really beautiful. Some of the animation is really impressive. The setting is really vivid and creative. It's got a cast of pretty neat characters, and a weasel side kick that steals the show. The character design on the Snow Queen is really interesting.

As for the bad stuff...

The audio for the film was less than stellar. I watched the English dub, so it might be better in the original version. It's just that some of the vocal performances aren't great. Some of the character designs are a bit ugly. Also, the plot isn't great. It feels like things move incredibly quickly, and the beginning feels slow. The ending felt confusing and rushed, and some of the plot points aren't explained very well.

Overall, I recommend this movie, especially for a younger audience. It's really creative, and the visuals are spectacular. It might not be the best movie in the world, but it is certainly entertaining.

My little one loves this movie! However, I'm not sure but there's a scene where they end up in this witches garden and as the camera creeps through her gate, it says 666 on the gate, then again on the little girls socks not long after. I really hope that wasn't on purpose.

Not great by all means(the animated adaptation of the story from the 50s is much better), but a more than acceptable version of one of Hans Christian Andersen's best stories. In detail it sticks much more faithfully to the story than Disney's Frozen did, though that film had more polish and magic from personal opinion, and it has that mysterious and poignant spirit of the original story if not its darkness, understandably. Some of the story here did have a slightly rushed nature to it pace-wise, maybe part of the reason for some skim-the-surface character development, the characters are very recognisable and have personality but lack dimension(rather archetypal in a way)in places. The dialogue also can sound cheesy and not as flowing as it could have done. However, much of the story does work, the latter parts of the film do pack a powerful punch, it always did engage me at least and there is some nice messaging. The heart-warming and tense parts are done well as well. The animation is very well done, it doesn't try to do too much and it looks completely natural from the smallest details to bigger effects like snow fall and the lake reflections. Everything moves smoothly and the colours are very lavish and atmospheric, the characters look good and match their personalities fine. The music added a lot to what was going on, the scoring was beautifully melancholic, hauntingly powerful and any tense parts to the music were done very rousingly and enough to make you bite the nails. The voice acting is more than serviceable with everybody playing with heart and commitment, with only Gerda's voice actress having occasional unevenness, big emphasis on occasional because she did do a good job. Overall, not a definitive version, though it never intended to be and I wasn't expecting to be either, but a good one. The original story is a classic and while with some obvious foibles The Snow Queen(2012) does very little to disgrace it. 7/10 Bethany Cox

So, aside from people saying it's a ripoff of Frozen even though The Snow Queen 2012 came out first, it's one of the better looking ripoffs, compared to Trolland and The Little Panda Fighter. I think the animation/CGI are fantastic, especially for a company that isn't DreamWorks or Pixar.
