The voice acting is high quality, the animation is stunning, there are tremendous sequences, good moments. But story wise it's a mess. There's this river... the town's in danger... so Anna decides to flood it, is that right? You keep waiting for it to start, the "Indians" are caricatures, things like the girls being half Indian feel really undercooked, there's no twists, no villains, no logic. "Oh it's magic" seems to be the reason to get away with the shoddy plotting. There's no development between Anna and her guy, no memorable new characters, no effective narrative build.
For all Disney's money and having Pixar people on call, the writing is astonishingly inept. The songs are fine but there are too many of them - they are just shoved in there.
Great moments like Elsa on an ice horse, and running over the sea, some funny lines from Olaf. But it has no real heart.
