This Animated Classics collection perfectly showcases the level of detail that animators pour into the latest Disney hit.
Whilst Frozen might possibly be best known for the catchy songs, it's the likeable characters and stunning setting that helped make this movie such a success.

The concept artwork is fascinating to look at as the various sketches are littered through the course of the book.
Whilst the story itself is presented in a simple manner for even the youngest child to still enjoy, this series has hit the right balance of having something that will appeal for everyone.

This was definitely my little Christmas guilty pleasure. I love a good illustrated book, and this Disney Animated Classics Frozen did not disappoint.

The book is accessible to young children, very simple and easy to read. There are barely any descriptions, and it relies primarily on the original script which children will be familiar with and able to relate to.

What makes this book for me though are the illustrations. These aren't shots from or penciled-down artwork inspired by the animated feature. Instead, the illustrations are taken from the concept art of the film itself, from settings to costumes, character development etc, and I simply love the idea. It's what makes this collection so unique.

It also has a nice touch through a foreword by Lisa Keene, a Walt Disney Studio artist since 1982, and 5 pages of short biographies of 22 artists whose art was used to illustrate the book.

Overall, a beautiful and unique illustrated edition of a beloved Disney Classic.

I bought this book because of the concept art a long while ago. I've recently been in a massive reading slump so I decided to try reading something easy, came across this book again and read it in one short sitting. It's a very simplified telling of the Disney movie so it isn't anything crazy. I wished it was more detailed and there was more to read but this is meant to be a simple kids' book. The concept art is absolutely gorgeous and my favorite part about this book - of course with the beautiful covers as well.

It's a nice story and it brings back memories from the movie rather perfectly, but it's not a five star for me.
The story should have more pages, it feels very rushed in places, and other places it feels like they are illustrating the wrong thing, as they arent illustrating what's being described in the scene.
I'm a bit disappointed in it to be honest

Oh boy the artwork in this is stunning, loved seeing the differences between earlier sketches and the movie. Couldn’t help but hum the songs to myself while reading.

I love seeing all the concept art next to the story

The details on this cover are exquisite, and the story of Frozen remains as magical as ever. I'll never not enjoy reading about Elsa and Anna's sibling relationship, and seeing how it grows throughout their story.⁠

Thank you @scholastic_au for providing me a copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

Estas maravillosas ediciones de las historias que conocemos gracias a la gran pantalla son tan bonitas por dentro como por fuera. Los detalles del interior son preciosos, incluyendo el tipo de letra que han escogido. Es una colección que merece la pena y no solo para compartir con los más pequeños de la casa.

Es mi película animada favorita en el mundo mundial, no me juzguen. Fue una nueva experiencia leer una historia que me he visto más de 70 veces. Atesoro mucho una frase que pasé por alto todas las veces que la vi y es: “suerte que no ha sido el corazón, porque el corazón no es sencillo de cambiar. Pero es sencillo convencer a la mente” tanta sabiduría en un simple troll.

Frozen es y seguirá siendo mi película e historia animada favorita de todos los tiempos. Aunque siento que en esta ocasión dejaron muchos diálogos que me gustaban de la película original, eso sí, ame las ilustraciones. 💙💜

"Aquí el único corazón helado que hay es el tuyo - contestó Anna, y luego le dio un buen puñetazo."
