Today, two modern Disney classics will be compared, contrasted, and judged.

Let’s talk  about Frozen first. Making its theatrical debut in  2013, this retelling of The Snow Queen was a hit. Four years later, it’s become less popular, but still has plenty of fans.

I liked the sisterly bond, which has only been done in a few Disney movies before this. The  music was decent—not amazing by any  means, but catchy.

I didn’t like the spoken dialogue much; it felt trite and forced at some points.

Also, after the movie became popular, it was very overmarketed, to the point that even if you liked Frozen before, the constant hype could almost make you hate it.

Now, Big Hero Six is vastly different from Frozen, and yet, it’s similar.

Both feature a sibling bond, both have good music (I could almost make another article out of judging “Let It Go” vs. “Immortals”), and they were released within a year of each other.

On the other hand, Big Hero Six features a lot more action and several more light scenes. This would normally make me dislike the movie, but there’s a balance there, too. 

The sad scenes are rather heavy, but don’t seem melodramatic.

Also, Frozen had a happy ending, while Big Hero Six’s last scenes could be described as…bittersweet.

As a bonus, it’s far less hyped than Frozen!

Which movie would I recommend more? Well, I really enjoyed both. It’s a close race, but I’d have to say…

Big Hero Six is the better movie.
