The animation in Frozen 2 is top notch, vivid colors and light work, interesting character models, etc
However the movie telegraphs early on and where Frozen 1 surprised, the sequel fell flat.
the music: there are no "let it go" ear worms despite them trying to make "into the unknown" happen. It's not bad, but it's not classic.
The plot: It's curious to me what the conversation in the writers room was when developing the plot. Either they genuinely didn't know they were remaking Fifth Element, or they didn't care because they say "spirit" instead of element.
Conclusion: my kids were entertained; there are some genuinely funny parts, but there are a couple of "remember last time" jokes that seemed like they wouldn't have happened if the sequel wasn't 6-years later. Overall the story just seemed unoriginal compared to the first movie and there were no surprises.
Bonus: there is a "reindeers are better than people" redux called "Alone in the Woods" that turns into a full blown 80s rock video duet with Sven and Kristoff that had me rolling.
