Every Scene a
Winner in Disney on Ice Presents Frozen
By Shandra Hill Smith
Between
Elsa’s solo performance of “Let It Go,” Kristoff’s back flips on ice and Olaf’s
humor and cheeriness, you’ll be hard-pressed to narrow down one favorite scene
from “Disney on Ice Presents Frozen.”
For five
days, capacity crowds at Philips Arena have had a chance to sing along to “Let
It Go,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman,” “Love Is An Open Door,” and other
hits from this entertaining two-hour show. Running from Wednesday, October 8 to
Sunday, October 12, “Disney on Ice Presents Frozen” reminds audiences from one
scene to the next that “true love is the greatest power of all.” The
performance makes for Feld Entertainment’s 34th Disney on Ice.
Based in
Arendelle, this magical story of sisters Anna and Elsa from the highest
grossing animated movie of all time includes snow scenes that seemingly
captivate kids of all ages, surprise appearances by a host of characters,
including Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Snow White, Ariel, Rapunzel, Buzz and
Woody from “Toy Story,” and familiar faces from “Finding Nemo” and “The Lion
King.”
Also,
joining sisters Anna and Elsa are Olaf the friendly snowman, rugged mountain
man Kristoff and his reindeer Sven, the mystical trolls, Hans and Marshmallow
the snow monster (this made for perhaps the scariest, to some degree, for some
of the younger attendees, but one that also arrested onlookers of all ages).
The two
hours of bringing the animated film to life pass quickly, and you’ll find
yourself enjoying every minute. And considering the love theme throughout, it
was only fitting for Mickey Mouse to bring the show to a close with these
words: “If you’re sitting next to someone you love, why don’t you give them a
great big hug.”
With
Mickey’s urging, this mom, along with moms and dads all over the arena, did
just that.
