Six hundred and thirtynine million dollars.

To many, that sum of money is an exponentially large amount.  That’s more money than most will see in their lifetime.  Yet to Disney CEO Bob Iger, it is just the amount of money the company has gained from their hit animated film “Frozen,” according to cnn.com.

“Frozen” took the Box Office by storm when it debuted on Nov. 27.  Despite going head to head with the hugely popular “Catching Fire,” the film broke the impressive records set by the popular Harry Potter franchise by grossing $93 million just in its first five days in theatres alone according to cnn.com.

The Nordic winter wonderland depicted in the movie was representative of the deep freeze that a majority of the country was stuck in during the movie’s first weeks in theatres.  This may have been the cause for the welcoming warm reception it received in theaters across the nation.

Kristen Bell is the voice of Anna, a young princess, who feels lonely and isolated due to her sister Elsa’s extremely secretive and introverted tendencies. Elsa’s character is punctuated by the voice of Glee star, Idina Menzel who was featured in the star as rival show choir coach Shelby Cocoran.  Anna  teams up with Kristoff, the hunky ice cutter with a seemingly equally icy heart.  The two are in a race against time to find Elsa, the newly coronated Queen of Herondale, before her icy powers can consume her kingdom and trap her people in an eternal winter.

The movie won a Golden Globe in January for the best animated feature. ‘Frozen’ was nominated for another 29 various awards  winning 18 of them, according to imbd.com.  Those awards were rightly earned; the cinematography featured in the film placed each and every viewer right into the icy tundra of the movie.  From the vivid, blindingly bright, fresh powdery snow, to the sharp, jagged edges of ice crystals, not a detail was lacking in the imagery department.

As the country emerges from its month-long deep freeze, the frozen trance placed upon viewers has yet to thaw, the constant and unyielding praise that this film has received speaks to its timelessness.
