Frozen II (2019)

Happy Valentine's Day!  This movie, a sequel to the first Frozen has been six years in the making, and while it is not much of a love story, to be sure, but is a story of women who feel confident in their abilities to manage their live, and I would contend that is what makes a good partner in life.  Someone who brings strength to the relationship, but is better for the partnership.
In addition to good female roles, the musical score is strong.  It was short listed for an Oscar in that category, but did not make the cut, and the only thing it is nominated in is Best Song.  This is about where my praise for the movie ends. The movie wasn't chosen for Best Animated Feature film, and having seen all five of the nominees, I think that was a good call.   The plot veers off in areas that are unnecessary and the link of the sisters to a native past is potentially a bit offensive.  The "go it alone" attitude ends up working out but is a tad irritating.  Enough already, can people not learn from their mistakes?  In any case, these are likely to be lost on young viewers who are probably going to enjoy the movie thoroughly.
