GO SEE IT OH MY GOD.
Anna is awesome, Elsa is amazing, the music is breathtaking, the visuals are stunning, the story is affecting (I cried in distress and happiness!), it totally upsets fairy tale expectations in the best ways, the funny sidekick characters are tolerable, and it's a story about love and fear and power where not one but two women get to have these things.
I don't want to spoil anyone, and I know a fair few people have feminist issues with Disney (I can be one of them), but this movie is worth it. Especially if you have young girls, and even better, sisters, this movie says some really important things that many Disney/princess/fairy tale stories aimed at this age group either do terribly or gloss over.
It's wonderful for all the best reasons.
(I really really disliked the short that comes first, though. Be warned.)
