The Snow Queen 3: Fire and Ice (2016)

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I was skeptical when I realized that this is indie studio product, and that it does look a bit like Frozen. Then I realized that "The Snow Queen" is a really high-grade movie with a really nice story, interesting and cute characters and some life lessons, like it's not just about chasing your dreams, it's about forgiveness, family and friendship too. I really enjoyed it and it did transport me to that fairytale world, it was an amazing and a very immersive experience! I highly recommend this film for your whole family!

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.

The first Snow Queen story by the Russian animated studio Wizart came into being in 2012. Now, in four years after the first premiere, we can see colossal evolution of the Russian animation. The graphics and the characters clean-up have improved – now we see brighter colors, more interesting costumes, and more scenic locations. Of course, there is nothing left of the initial story of Kai and Gerda, children living next door to one another, from Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale. The teenagers from the new story have grown up, acquired more difficult tempers, lost their parents, but gained a huge experience in the show business. Then, as one would expect, the brother's and the sister's paths separated. She, like any girl, chose to follow her heart as well as the new guy called Rollan, whereas Kai became an animated downshifter – a pirate artist. Both the family division and excessive curiosity placed the whole Troll Country under a threat. It is worth mentioning that the participation of the Hollywood screenwriter Robert Lence and the Comedy Club show stars turned out very useful – the movie became funnier but sometimes, like in all Russian masterpieces, this went a little bit too far. It should also be pointed out that the Russian animation is becoming interesting abroad too: releases in Korea, Bulgaria, Turkey and countries of the Middle East are planned for the beginning of 2017. I would like to wish successful distribution to The Snow Queen and a great enjoyable time watching the movie – to the audience.

This 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!
