Frozen 2 movie review! Warning: Contains Spoilers

If you haven't heard, Frozen II has come to DisneyPlus 3 months early! What a treat for those of us who have to stay home due to all this coronavirus chaos. Not gonna lie, I'm not a huge Frozen fan like most Disney lovers. I did enjoy the first film, but "Let It Go" was overplayed. Not only that, but there was so much merchandise for it that Disney separated Anna and Elsa from the Disney Princess merch. In my opinion, it was overly hyped. But it did have it's good parts such as Elsa being a strong independent princess who became Queen when her parents died. A wonderful sister relationship that became mended by Anna saving Elsa from herself. Also, the film did show that princesses don't need a man's love to be saved. Sometimes all you need is the person who has been there for you the whole time.
Onto the sequel! We start off with a sweet moment of Elsa and Anna bonding with their parents. The King tells them a story of how the people of Northuldra and the people of Arendelle tried to make peace with each other. Unfortunately, the plan was not successful and no one knows why. Each side blames one another, but doesn't truly know why a war broke on the day peace should've been made. Also, the king claims he was saved, but he never found out by who, just heard a voice singing. Then the Queen sings them a lullaby and that's where the first scene ends. It sets up the movie quite well for what's about to happen. 
The movie takes place three years after the events of the first film. Elsa is ruling as Queen and everything seems to be going well. Kristoff is even ready to finally propose to Anna. 
Elsa is hiding the fact that she has been hearing a voice calling to her. When she tried to unsuccessfully ignore it, a dangerous storm came to Arendelle. A storm of the elements which forced the people of Arendelle to leave for the time being. Elsa decides she must find the fifth element, follow the voice, and help her people. Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf come along on the adventure of course. 
The gang meets the people of Northuldra and explains to them that they want to help. Of course the people of Northuldra are not convinced due to the war that happened many year ago.
Elsa decides to take the journey on her own to find the fifth element and restore the peace. She doesn't want anyone to get hurt like last time. This leaves Anna and Olaf hurt. Kristoff also feels far apart from Anna and isn't sure where he fits in Anna's life anymore. An unfortunate event happens to Elsa and Olaf as a result. Anna feels like giving up at first, but she gets back up and discovers what she has to do in order to bring peace to her people and the people of Northuldra. Anna is successful in her mission and Elsa is able to save Arendelle as a result. 

Anna and Elsa realize that even far apart they are able to work together. All of this results in Elsa making a huge decision! Anna will become the new Queen of Arendelle. Kristoff takes that as his chance to propose and Anna accepts so he'll become her King. Elsa decides to stay behind to be with the people of Northuldra where she feels she truly belongs. Anna and Elsa keep in contact assuring each other of how they're doing and making plans to spend time together. 
This movie was much better than the first. The songs were beautiful! Everyone had their own song and I enjoyed them all. Kristoff even got his own pop star ballad, but it was really good! Elsa finally found herself and somewhere she felt she belonged. The voice she was hearing was not what I was expecting either! I feel silly for not knowing, but I really thought it would've been too predictable. In the first film Anna was the naïve hero. In this one, she was more mature and proved once again how strong she was. She managed to save Elsa again and not only that, but everyone else! Elsa saw how much Anna matured and how strong she was. She trusted Anna enough to give her the Queen position and entrusted her with Arendelle. Also, the movie made me cry a few times like all the Disney movies love to make me do lately! The way the movie ended definitely made it seem like there will be a Frozen III. We may have to wait another six years for it, but hopefully it'll be worth it just like the wait for this one was. I give this film a 9/10!. And Anna definitely moved up in my favorite princesses list, just not sure exactly where yet though!
