And beyond 'Disney's legacy of original animated features,' I can't think of a single good reason for why Disney shouldn't make a Frozen 2. Steven Spielberg famously agreed to helm The Lost World: Jurassic ParkВ because, after years to telling kids that he wouldn't make a sequel to the deeply personal E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial,В he couldn't think of a good answer to kids asking about why there would be no Jurassic ParkВ sequel. But as much as part of me prefers for Disney to not have cashed in so obviously, at the end of the day it's not for me. I wrote early last year about how rare it is for Disney to do a theatrical sequel to one of their theatrical animated features (this is the first 'on-purpose' sequel since The Rescuers Down UnderВ back in 1990), and had they left well-enough alone FrozenВ would have been the highest-grossing movie of all-time worldwide save TitanicВ to be a non-sequel that went without a theatrical sequel (in America that list includes Titanic, E.T., and The Lion King). There were no details about the plot of Frozen 2В in yesterday's Disney news dump, but the fact that it is confirmed was enough to make my daughter very excited. Obviously the fact that Disney has out-and-announced Frozen 2В puts all of this in a new light, to the extent that I'm almost glad that I only saw said short today. But it works just as well as a gorgeous and funny rompВ for those who just want to spend another five minutes in the world of Arndale,В With appearances by nearly every major character from Frozen, it's a colorful and funny reminder that the success of FrozenВ wasn't just about 'Let It Go.' The overriding theme is the notion of both sisters, for different but understandable reasons, wanting to be the one that takes care of the other, and considering how not explicitly emotional it is the short film ends on a surprisingly moving note. The 'new' status quo is a relentlessly happy one, which is why I'm not sure I want a sequel where everything goes to hell.В But ifВ this new short acts in any-way as a set-up for Frozen 2, with the notion of Anna and Elsa combating a new threat (or merely solving a new problem) together after becoming best buddies again, then we can rest assured that the sequel will not spend its time retelling the same story with characters learning the same lesson yet again.Д¬onsidering that Kung Fu PandaВ HolidayВ back in November 2010 (which to be fair was around 25 minutes long) basically established the core thematic arc not just for Kung Fu Panda 2В butВ for the entire franchise (Po's struggles to balance his responsibilities to his family andВ his responsibilities as the Dragon Warrior), it is not entirely unreasonable to look for 'clues' in this brief short as to where the story might go. The entire short is a welcomeВ acknowledgement that Anna's perils from the last picture didn't just save the kingdom but rekindled a long-stalled relationship with her sister. There is a new song, which ends up taking up most of the running time, that makes no effort to top the heartfelt tunes from the first film. It's a really sweet and almost too-short little romp, concerning Elsa's attempts to throw Anna a birthday party while inhibited by a cold, that firmly establishes the new status quo in Elsa and Anna's relationship post- FrozenВ while reminding us how much we enjoy hanging out with these characters.

All of this was achieved so I could present to you, my readers, this review of Frozen Fever. Yes I bought tickets to both shows because I possessВ Colon Blow-levels ofВ moral fiber (and it's a business expense). So I ventured out to the local multiplex last night to buy a ticket to the 7:00pm screening of CinderellaВ to watch said animated short just before a 7:30pm screening of Run All NightВ (which I passed on seeing the other night so I could pull off this two-birds-with-one-stone adventure). As you may have heard, I lucked out and say CinderellaВ quite early (That's good!) but saw the delightful romantic drama so early that said animated short was not yet complete (That's bad!). As most of you know, Frozen FeverВ is a short animated featurette that was attached to all theatrical prints of Walt Disney' s CinderellaВ which debuted last night at 7:00pm. Anyway, I can only hope that this will be the very best review of Frozen FeverВ to be found online. Considering how many posts we all do dissecting trailers and teasers I suppose this isn't that far off.

Yes, I am doing something resembling a review of a five-minute animated short.
