Featured reviews
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.

This is a nice adaptation with style and ability.
It is not in par with Disney stuff but clearly above the average.
Voices in French are not perfect and the script is sometimes lacking but animation is good and the overall story is solid. There are clearly delimited stages with their own graphic styles but an overall graphic unity midway between 3D and a fairy tales book.
It avoids the ever-joking bias of many current days animation productions and remains faithful in spirit to an European tale.
This is promising debut for Wisart Animation studio, and a nice leisure for the whole family starting age 6.

It's not a rip-off of Frozen first of all, and it's okay... But something I hate is the creepy goblin thing. Why is it in the movie???? Personally, I think it ruins the movie. Story if fine and so is basically eveything
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.
Gerda, a small girl whose parents have been killed by the evil Snow Queen, sets out on a journey to rescue her only brother Kay from the clutches of the same tyrant. Accompanied by a troll who doesn't really know on which side he is, she must try to put an end to this terrible reign which is about to become invincible.
I have to tell you that although I didn't have high expectations from this one, it managed to disappoint me. The story is as cliché as it is stupid, the replies are for kindergarten, the side characters are as pointless as they are ugly and idiotic, the basic laws of physics don't apply here (the characters walk and run on ice like it's tarmac) while the finale is unconvincing, to say the least. To give you a small example, every single one on that land is against the Queen and her ice age but nobody is willing to do anything about it. Furthermore, they even slow Gerda's quest with their pathetic problems only to pretend to help her by "providing" some material help (which was destroyed by them in the first place).
This movie has one big plus and that is its aspect. It looks absolutely gorgeous from every single angle (except the above mentioned side characters) and although its animations sometimes lack a bit of polish, it still looks great overall. I can't say I enjoyed this movie and I'm only giving it this rating for its appearance and its soundtrack. Everything other than that is not worth mentioning, unfortunately
