1/5 Disappointing
  by B. Cobb
This is an older version of this movie. There was very little talking through the whole movie. Picture quality is poor. Very poor movie in my opinion.

I'm glad we didn't pay much for this because it is really awful!! My kids didn't even manage to get through it one time...

3/5 DIFFERENT VERSION FROM THE ONE I REMEMBER AS A GIRL
  by JACKIE (Philadelphia PA)
I bought this movie because my daughter was in a very controlling relationship. I tried to explain to her how the ice splinter got into the little boys eye and he fell under the Snow Queens spell. This is not the version I remember as a child. This one is long and drawn out. It somehow seems to lose the message. But I did find the other version and will be doing a review on that.

Thanks Amazon

5/5 Beautifully dreamlike
  by William Timothy Lukeman
This version of the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale must be the most visually rich & gorgeous one yet! Every frame is drenched in color, reminiscent of hand-tinted photographs; and the slightly herky-jerky motion is like watching a turn-of-the-century nickelodeon. It's a fascinating use of CGI, one that utilizes cutting-edge techniques to create a deliberately old-fashioned look ... and it's a stylistic success. The acting is somewhat stylized as well, which serves the overall tone & brings the viewer into a perfectly realized world. This isn't the place to look for subtle characterization, or nuanced psychological portraits -- these are fairy tale characters, embodiments of mythic types, and they act as such.

But I don't want it to sound too high-falutin'. While the thoughtful viewer can certainly find more below the surface, it's primarily an entertainment, and a dazzling one to boot! It can be enjoyed as pure eye candy, a luscious confection; it has all the thrills & surprises of any good fairy tale; and it teaches something in its own quiet way. You really can't ask for more than that!

Accompanied by a lovely, haunting score, this short film will be a welcome addition to your home library. Most happily recommended!
