It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
"The Story of Frozen: Making a Disney Animated Classic" says already pretty much what this 40-minute documentary here is all about: a making of for the very famous recent Disney movie "Frozen". There are some actually really good parts in here when they really elaborate on how they made this movie and we hear all the wonderful songs from the film as well. Some of the interviewees (like Menzel) offer great insight into their work for this film. However, there are some cringeworthy parts too, such as Lasseter comparing the characters to his son's diabetes and sadly, as much as I love him as a filmmaker, he has some more smh-moments in here. And "Frozen" of course was a huge favorite to win at the Oscars, especially for Best Animated Feature, even if the people we see here want us to believe otherwise. So yeah, all in all an okay documentary and it may get you in the mood to rewatch this animated classic. Thumbs up.
