FROZEN (2013)

**2014 OSCAR NOMINEE**
Anna and Elsa grew up princesses in the peaceful kingdom of Arendelle, Elsa with the ability to magically create snow and ice with just a touch of her hand.  When this power (which only grows with Elsa's emotions) causes a near-fatal accident for young Anna, to protect both girls Elsa and her magic are hidden away within the castle.  Years later, when the now-orphaned teenage girls prepare for Elsa's coronation as queen, Elsa is sure she has things under control  ... until a heated argument forces her to flee to the distant mountains for safety, her powers freezing the entire kingdom into a land of ice.  But it's the optimistic Anna who doesn't give up, and with the help of mountain man Kristoff and a goofy snowman named Olaf, she braves the frigid mountains to find her sister and bring her home.  Visually stunning, beautifully scored, and with a strong "girl power" message, Frozen is Disney back to its hey-day of traditional animation - and the studio's best work since The Little Mermaid. (rated PG)  *****
