Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Waste of time, boring. I could have told a story that would of been more entertaining than this.-The coloring was hard on the eyes. -The special effects had promise, however they missed the mark at making it look good. -The packaging and write up on the DVD were very deceptive (in the write up it says she pierced his heart in the movie it was his eye) - it appears as if the movie starts in the middle, giving us no clue as to the beginning - he is pierced by a splinter of mirror, in the write up it says a splinter of ice -movie made us not want to read any of the authors writings in conclusion I would rate the movie with negative stars the 6.5 rating on your site was very deceiving

A Few years ago I saw the Snow Queen on Hallmark, I was absolutely blown away with the story and magic of that adaptation. Thinking that it was the same movie I was disappointed to find I had gotten another telling of the story. Yet I was willing to give it a chance, as I usually love anything made by the BBC. I have to say though I agree that the score of this movie was beautiful, I may have to find a copy somewhere. I was terribly unhappy with the CG animation and acting, you could just tell that the actors were filmed on a blue screen. It felt extremely fake.It was just horrible, it hesitated and you knew from the moment you began that it wasn't real snow. It just felt cheep. The BBC didn't have a winner with this film. It felt rushed as well, even though it was quit close to the original story. If you want to really experience the Snow Queen, please by all means read the story. If your interested in seeing a film that is well made and acted, I recommend the one done on Hallmark,which can be found on Amazon. Steer clear of this film, unless you feel the need to waste an hour. However, if you like classical music do get a CD of this movie the music it's self is really the only good thing in this movie.

Every generation of directors and children's TV programmers seems destined to try their hand at Hans Christian Anderson's Snow Queen, this version is one of the best.Filmed with a mixture of animation and live acting, it manages to capture the spirit of early eastern-European animations and graphic novels, the unreal backdrops suggest a stage performance, and the jerky motion, marionettes. Combined with a wonderful score written by Paul K. Joyce (and performed by the Royal Philharmonic), this is certainly an adaptation children will love, and continue to be entertained by for years to come.Although some parts of the story which are skimmed over could have had more time spent on them (and it's possible some adults will be expecting Disney and fail to see past the computer imagery), it's good to remember that this is a story to be enjoyed, not studied, and its for kids who probably wouldn't want it to drag on.All in all this is a very worthy production, there are far worse ways to spend an hour of the holiday period.

I happened on to this last night on TV while babysitting my niece. It was a wonderful movie with strong performances. The supporting adult roles in particular, but Sydney White (Gerda) gives a very well rounded performance as well. The whole imagery of the movie makes you feel as if you are watching painted pictures instead of a movie, which took a few minutes for me to get used to, but I found it perfect as I sat and watched. My only complaint is that I feel it could (and perhaps should) have been longer. I felt as if some parts went by much to quickly. Overall a charming movie that made me fall in love with a childhood that I had forgotten.
