So I was excited for this special... I know they initially intended for it to be a Holiday TV Special... they then put it before Coco, but it was pulled from Coco because it is definitely NOT a short. It's 20 minutes without commercials... so on TV it's a full 30 minute special.
If you like Frozen and you like the music of Frozen- you're going to love this special. The music isn't identical to the music of the movie... but they have songs like "The First Christmas in Forever" and it sounds very similar to the song "For The First Time In Forever." But for this special the gates are obviously opened and Elsa and Anna are singing together... so it's got a nice sister-y Christmas feel.
I also just think Elsa is a really good queen. She invited everyone to the castle to spend the holidays there... that's really nice! Elsa 2020 amiright??? lol.
It took me a while to like Olaf... but I think he's really funny in this special. He is adorable and he just wants to help Anna and Elsa's first Christmas in their memories to be the best Christmas ever and he's trying to get all these traditions for them and it's just really cute and funny.
It's kind of fun because it shows a lot of Norway... I don't know if these are actual traditions of Norway or anything... but I know Disney works hard at looking in these locations so I think there's probably some real traditions there. I thought that was pretty cool.
And the end just kind of melts your heart. It's really sweet- I think they did a great job with it and it is definitely a great Christmas Special. Compared to specials like Shrek the Halls, Toy Story: That Time Forgot, the Prep and Landing Movies... I would say this is a lot better. I would actually even put this on par with some classic movies like The Year Without a Santa Clause... I thought it was that good! I like it more than Frosty... so I feel like I have my sentient snowman fix without having to watch Frosty... lol.
I can see why they put this in movie theaters... the animation is brilliant and at some parts I was like "wow I wish I was seeing this on a big screen" plus they did have it out before a shorter movie... and that is reminiscent of Mickey's Christmas Carol, which I also love!
Sooo... yeah that is everything! Hope you guys like this!
PS- This also isn't really a "Christmas" special so much as a "Holiday" special. They talk about Hanukkah traditions as well as Christmas Traditions. I just thought I'd include that in this review because I thought it was cool. There aren't many holiday specials that go into detail on both holidays.
Byeee!
