La princesse des glaces 3

The first Snow Queen story by the Russian animated studio Wizart came into being in 2012. Now, in four years after the first premiere, we can see colossal evolution of the Russian animation. The graphics and the characters clean-up have improved – now we see brighter colors, more interesting costumes, and more scenic locations. Of course, there is nothing left of the initial story of Kai and Gerda, children living next door to one another, from Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale. The teenagers from the new story have grown up, acquired more difficult tempers, lost their parents, but gained a huge experience in the show business. Then, as one would expect, the brother's and the sister's paths separated. She, like any girl, chose to follow her heart as well as the new guy called Rollan, whereas Kai became an animated downshifter – a pirate artist. Both the family division and excessive curiosity placed the whole Troll Country under a threat. It is worth mentioning that the participation of the Hollywood screenwriter Robert Lence and the Comedy Club show stars turned out very useful – the movie became funnier but sometimes, like in all Russian masterpieces, this went a little bit too far. It should also be pointed out that the Russian animation is becoming interesting abroad too: releases in Korea, Bulgaria, Turkey and countries of the Middle East are planned for the beginning of 2017. I would like to wish successful distribution to The Snow Queen and a great enjoyable time watching the movie – to the audience.

Today, my daughters and I watched the third part of the Snow Queen trilogy. The youngest daughter adores this story) The cartoon is about 1.5 hours, but the view flew completely unnoticed. I liked the work of Russian authors. Kai and Gerda grew up, make money for their living stories, miss their parents and will of chance again become involved in the adventure. Very nice characters, especially Gerda. Really, very sweet - I suddenly wanted to put my daughter's hair like hers! Trendy, slender, charming, and when she finds herself in the outfit of a "half-snow queen" is awesome. How adorable is her love, how familiar these adolescent loving looks are! solid fascination! Animation is very beautiful, good special effects (but a cartoon is not completely overloaded by it), a clear plot design, adventures of heroes, interesting turns... There were several scenes where little spectators had to worry. But the magnificent ending has very pleased me and my daughters! Summary: the movie is absolutely to be seen especialy by young girls!

Being the third part of Snow Queen franchise The Snow Queen 3: Fire and Ice has gained and improved its own graphic style and has gotten better in visual effects. I really enjoyed the fantastic scenery the story developed in, all those mountain gorges, snow avalanches, volcano eruptions, a pirate ship skiing in magnificent landscapes and a train made of ice.

The thing I also liked is that although being a sequel The Snow Queen 3 is independent from other parts and if you haven't watched the previous ones it is not a problem at all. You can start watching this part and enjoy it not knowing the previous stories.

As for the message of the animation the story tells about vital things: the importance of being a family, the choice everyone makes between good and evil and that everyone should treasure their relations. These themes are important for our children and it is good that animated feature films touch these things in their plots. The final fight scene is very impressive and the evil has been defeated.

As for the weak points the thing I lacked is some well memorized and catchy song although the music of The Snow Queen 3 is impressive.

I was skeptical when I realized that this is indie studio product, and that it does look a bit like Frozen. Then I realized that "The Snow Queen" is a really high-grade movie with a really nice story, interesting and cute characters and some life lessons, like it's not just about chasing your dreams, it's about forgiveness, family and friendship too. I really enjoyed it and it did transport me to that fairytale world, it was an amazing and a very immersive experience! I highly recommend this film for your whole family!

The movie was excellent and the theme as nice. Its good to see other studios outside Pixar and Disney.

I genuinely liked the art style of the movie.

The movie had interesting mixture of comedy and action and a fiery ending with a big battle. I wish the movie had more Slavic characters.
