Summary: A great portrayal of a fairy tale.
Review: This movie is one of my favorites. I love how the movie was designed and how the adventure is not between brother and sister, but between lovers. Gerda, who just turned 17, has to find Kai, her new boyfriend, to save him from the snow queen. She must go through each month and meet the mother of each. I recomend this ofr all fantasy movie fans.

Summary: long but immersing
Review: this movie rocks. it is 3 hours but keeps the pace. they did a
great job with this movie. it is an old tale that they did its justice to. it starts out building for a while then opens up to an adventure, with two areas of context. i saw this then later on bought the dvd. if your collection is lacking a 3 hour movie,
put away dances with wolves and let this one adorn. i think any
one who has given this movie bad reviews is someone who just cant
sit still. i would say this is a drama adventure. not an action
adventure so dont expect that. sound is great. acting is great.
picture is great and i think holds its own award whether recognized or not

Summary: Gerda is Great- The Snow Queen is a bit off >.>
Review: This movie takes FOREVER to get anywhere in the beginning- no don't argue with me, those who have seen it know that this is true. After everything and nothing is established the movie REALLY begins and it's actually even worth buying it's entertaining enough. The adventures of the young Gerda as she searches through the seasons to find her close friend Kai, who has been taken away by the Snow Queen to rebuild her mirror (fordged by the devil in a brilliant scene). Kai and the Snow Queen lack in places, but where they do everyone else makes up for them. The Girl who plays Gerda is sweet and pretty and all of the people she meets on the way are charming and delightful. The story flows nicely and it has very good dialgue. At first when I saw it I thought that it was going to end up being horrible, but it's not- well, at least Gerda and her troop aren't. The story takes place in Germany but only Gerda's father has a German accent- and to confuse one even more Briget Fonda speaking her part with a Brooklyn accent just doesn't work. That's my only real complaint, the rest with her is bearable.

Summary: Enchanting
Review: Wow, I didn't know you could still find good mainstream movies without vulgarity or massive amounts of sex. This was really good.The plot was good. Seeing the main characters overcoming their long-lived sadness at the death of the main character's mother was worth the whole movie. The scenery and characters were a delight. I especially liked the polar bear who was in love with the Snow Queen. The only things that kept this movie from getting five stars are as follows: 1. The "Fall Robber Queen" and her daughter. The former just didn't seem to fit and the latter was just plain annoying. 2. The movie was rather long. Around three hours, actually. This is a little much for the "whole family," as younger children will probably not keep their attention focused for that long. And, if they do . . . 3. The scene where Satan is forging the mirror was a bit creepy for an adult. I can just imagine how a child will react to it. But it is still a wonderful alternative to the stuff that normally comes out of Hollywood.
