Synopsis
After Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel) left her kingdom of Arendelle, afraid her magical powers would freeze people to death, she has returned and peace reigns supreme.

Here, they uncover the origins of Elsa’s powers and uncomfortable truths about Arendelle’s past.
Review by @Reelreviewer
I have been told to "Let It Go" in regards to my utter disbelief at how popular these rather by-the-numbers Disney flicks are.
Ha ha ha, very funny. At least the first film had Idina Menzel trilling that splendid song with gusto, to nudge it a notch above what I feel about its sequel.
There is some fun with the supporting characters - Olaf the snowman (Josh Gad) and reindeer Sven - and the animation is the A* job you expect, nee demand, from Disney.
But where's the charm, where's the magic, where's the soul in this factory-line, photocopied effort?
The kids might be delighted their favourite characters have returned, but be warned Disney - next time, do better!
