Frozen is a bit overrated, no?

This kind of post gives me 2014-2015 vibes.
I don't think Frozen is overrated, I do think it's excessively hated because it's Walt Disney Animation Studios most popular property.

I dunno, I liked it and I would probably love it if I was 5 years old. It's a cute movie with fun songs.
Not the movie I would pick as the most overrated Disney movie tbh.

It was ok nothing more. Very disappointing considering the hype and considering it came out with the far superior Tangled still fresh in the mind.
And I'd like to thank Frozen 1 for getting us there, and when Frozen 3 brings forth the most transcendent lesbian love ballad of all time I'll thank it again.
Moana literally bored me to sleep but I can agree that Frozen is pretty overrated.
My biggest issue with the song Let It Go back in the day was that the chorus is the bloody four-chord song that haunts me to this day.

It's fine. It was for kids, kids loved it and "Let it go" hit it big with the target demographic. Did I think it was as amazing as everyone said it was? Not really, but that's fine. Toy Story 4 was the best animated film last year btw :P
Horrifically overrated.
I'm still sour about the 20 minutes Frozen turd they put in front of CoCo because they thought CoCo was gonna bomb without it.

Frozen is THE Disney movie for this generation. It is their Aladdin/Lion King. Im suprised people in this thread are trying to say it is underrated. You cannot call it underrated by any stretch of the imagination.
My personal feelings are that it was a decent movie but not great as the Disney classics. The pacing was off and it just felt underwhelming. Let It Go however had smash hit written all over it. The song was undeniable.
I personally enjoyed The Princess and The Frog, Tangled and especially Moana far more, and all of those also had strong female leads that went against the grain. I think Moana is by far the best Disney movie of this generation and I really wish Moana received the same amount of love that Frozen received.
My older daughters who watched these movie when they came out loved Moana and only like Frozen. My youngest daughter has never seen any if these movies but she knows Anna and Elsa somehow.
But Frozen has positives. It was both traditional and modern. It had two princesses. It had a funny snowman. It had an undeniably appealing main song.

I watched Frozen for the first time and thought it was fantastic. A thoroughly enjoyable movie that just leaves you feeling good. I don't think it's fair to call children's properties overrated either, especially when you aren't exactly the target demographic.

Yeah this is the correct analysis ultimately but I was just surprised that this is what hit immense popularity and carried the Disney name compared to a bunch of other good kid friendly shit.

It really resonated with young girls in a way that the other Disney animated films just can't quite achieve. My daughter likes all the recent Disney/Pixar movies, but Frozen stands on a pedestal of its own
Wait, what? The lyrics are literally describing what's happening throughout the scene plus her mood, which are a result of what just happened at the coronation. It couldn't be more connected to the movie without quoting the screenplay.
Also, Idina can outsing mostly anyone, so it's no wonder it was a huge hit.
Tangled is better although im not necessarily sure why the two are always put up against each other
I liked frozen fine enough though

Eh nah, you can appreciate animated films even if the intended audience is children, plus adults are the ones doing the rating to begin with.
It would be nice if we had one of these "the popular thing you like is shit, actually" threads that actually presented a detailed argument.
Frozen is a Disney film, the first to my mind, that centered the story on two female leads and broke with tradition in undermining the usual two people meet and fall in love story.
Let it go speaks to how a lot of women are told to keep their emotions in check, and how society enforces a lot of restrictions that are only for their own comfort. It is certainly more than shallow princess story and I think that's why it spoke to a lot of people, that plus the songs are genuinely great.
Now, of course, that doesn't mean it is my fav animated film or that it isn't open to criticism. However, unless your criticism is more than just "I watched it and I didn't like it" I'm not sure what you think you are adding to the discourse.

Nah it's awesome. Seriously great. It's no Moana, and personally I prefer Tangled, but Frozen is top tier on almost every level.
All my "edge"? I'm talking about disney princess musicals tho.

Did you read the OP? I do give reasons my guy but I ain't gonna write a thesis on it. Nowhere do I say that it's shit. Weirdly defensive post.
It's a nice movie but the hype for it was extreme, most of us can agree that the sequel sucks.
Moana is another league beyond Frozen and Tangled. Like it shouldn't be compared to the two mentioned because it's that good.

I did the only thing I would consider as actual criticism is that the sister's relationship is under developed. I would agree with that. Otherwise it's just "why does everyone like this?" The answer to which is fairly obvious, people like different things.
I'm not defensive about Frozen, I'm just tired of thread after thread of people decrying entertainment other people like and not even bothering to detail their thoughts.
I'm not asking for a thesis but at least give me an abstract. Otherwise it just feels like you are looking for people to agree with you, which I'm sure you can find via google.
Underrated ? How exactly is it being rated in general? It's a good movie that received decent reception. Nothing over or underated about it.
Winter and magic. I liked it before seeing it.
I thought the second should have gone celestial. Maybe Frozen 3: Seasonal Queens..
Into the Unknown is the best non-Olaf song. Elsa can belt out note or two though.

If you don't love the songs then you're not going love Frozen. They're definitely the highlight of the movie. But I think the characters are charming and while the story is not quite as good as Pixars best, it is still quite good.
I'd rank it below Moana and Coco, but above Zootopia.
