I was engaged in the movie from the very first note until the last line of credits. The music is magnificent, graphics are jaw-dropping (3D is a must). I watched both versions, loved both but for the short at the beginning the 3D is suggested.There are undeniable similarities with Frozen, on the main character faces and other dynamics in the movie, but it stands by itself for the story, its powerful message and for the best animation ever.
... View MoreAbout two minutes into the 3D version of this film, I turned to my friend and said, "This is amazing". And it really is. The depth of color and the quality of the details are simply stunning. However the beauty of the animation wasn't the only good thing about the movie, just the most obvious. The storytelling was fantastic and fast-paced, weaving a golden fairy-tale with a modern reinterpretation of surrounding events. What really makes the film, as far as the characters go, though, is the personalities that Wizart assigns to the animals involved. The main character's cute animal sidekick - a pet ferret named Luta - never utters a word, yet it easily steals the show with its clear human emotions and comedic timing. This is definitely a film I recommend, even if you don't have children
... View MoreBeing the third part of Snow Queen franchise The Snow Queen 3: Fire and Ice has gained and improved its own graphic style and has gotten better in visual effects. I really enjoyed the fantastic scenery the story developed in, all those mountain gorges, snow avalanches, volcano eruptions, a pirate ship skiing in magnificent landscapes and a train made of ice. The thing I also liked is that although being a sequel The Snow Queen 3 is independent from other parts and if you haven't watched the previous ones it is not a problem at all. You can start watching this part and enjoy it not knowing the previous stories.As for the message of the animation the story tells about vital things: the importance of being a family, the choice everyone makes between good and evil and that everyone should treasure their relations. These themes are important for our children and it is good that animated feature films touch these things in their plots. The final fight scene is very impressive and the evil has been defeated.As for the weak points the thing I lacked is some well memorized and catchy song although the music of The Snow Queen 3 is impressive.
... View MoreThis is 'the' worst animation movie I have ever seen. No particular Story/Plot, No Direction, Horrible Script, no coordination between the dialogues and the animation, to top it all Bad Music.. all the basic ingredients for an animation movie missing! I do not know what was the motive behind making this movie. There should be a serious quality check for such movies being produced and marketed. It was a mix of haphazard colored animated scenes with no correlation or story to tie them up.The characters within the movie have no context or place within the loose plot and just keep appearing once a while without a particular agenda.This is a No Watch! Keep Away!
