SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 5:01 Min.
Frozen’s animated 2015 mini-sequel, Frozen Fever, has a cold-stricken Elsa guiding her sister, Anna, through a series of birthday surprises inside and outside their castle. Frozen’s cast, including Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad, among others, reprise their roles.
The short initially accompanied Disney’s live-action Cinderella film to movie screens debuting in March 2015. Later that year, Frozen Fever made its Digital HD debut, along with its inclusion on both the Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Films Collection and Cinderella Blu-Ray/DVD releases. Presently, Disney now also streams Frozen Fever.
REVIEW:
Frozen Fever is a welcome treat for Elsa & Anna’s fans. Not only is the animation big-screen caliber, but the cast all contribute ‘game-on’ performances. One caveat is overplaying a cute gag where Elsa’s magical sneezes conjure cute little sentient snowmen – suffice to say, adults may already be rolling their eyes come the third or fourth time this joke occurs.
Still, Frozen Fever (including its single, “Making Today a Perfect Day”) is a reliable Disney gift to viewers, who are seeking something beyond comic book violence as kid-friendly entertainment.
