Frozen 2013

     Elsa and Anna are living in a castle with their parents.  Elsa is learning that she has special powers that Anna doesn’t possess?  Elsa doesn’t know how to control the powers and she accidentally hurts Anna.  The sisters are separated for the safety of Anna.  Time  has passed and the girls have grown up.  Young princess Anna of Arendelle dreams about finding true love at her sister Elsa’s Coronation as Queen.  Instead, she goes on a dangerous journey to try to convince Elsa to stop the eternal winter that has fallen over the kingdom after the Coronation.  Anna meets ice delivery man Kristoff and his reindeer Sven.  Later, they meet snowman Olaf.  5* (I really liked this movie)         
      The sisters are again separated but Anna is determined to have a relationship with Elsa.  There are men with weapons, snarling wolves, a scary snow monster, a severe storm, a character nearly freezes to death, a character falls in love twice and there are two kisses at the end.  Good messages are unconditional love between sisters even after a long estrangement.  Being true to yourself, recognizing your gifts and not being afraid of your power.  5* (I really liked this movie)

Disney:  This company really knows how to market a movie and to line up the production of every possible item you can think linked to the movie!!  Dolls, doll clothing, shoes, lego castles and dolls, dresses, sleds, horses, headbands, hair ornaments, bandaids, wrapping paper, greeting cards, balloons, luggage, books, coloring books, stickers, sheets, blankets, pillowcases, pillows, snow globes, sheet music, LP’s, DVD’s, bean bags, etc.  There are probably as many more things that I don't know about on the market!!
