Kristoff, Sven the reindeer, and Olaf the snowman join her on her journey.
"Amazing cartoon, fabulous songs, every single one is instantly recognizable.
Kristoff and Sven are so special ❤", — ilayy
"One of my all-time favorite cartoons. But I didn't fall in love with it right away. At first, I just liked it. A nice cartoon with a nice song, but nothing more. But as the years went by, I rewatched it periodically, sometimes just thought about it. And now, for me, it's one of the best. I've watched it a hundred times, downloaded all the songs to my player, got some merch, and suddenly discovered that Kristoff is one of my two favorite human characters in all of Disney", — Когнир
"The sisters' relationship is a metaphor of sorts. Anna is emotional, Elsa is rational.
This part shows how extremes interfere with life, how exaggerating negative experiences can lead to loneliness and fantasies, and how exaggerating the emotional component can also lead to problems. A beautiful, inspiring story. Let go and forget", — Хочу_чипсов

"A wonderful cartoon, I recently rewatched it with great interest.
"Ohana means family. And family is when no one is abandoned or forgotten'», — efilli
"The best cartoon of my childhood!!! About friendship, family, prejudice, and support.
Nani is an incredibly resilient person who survived the death of her parents and was able to raise her little sister, no matter how difficult it was. Lilo is a good little girl who has a lot of sadness in her life and no friends — that's very difficult for a child. Stitch, who was able to change and find his family. 🤍 And the guys, Jumbo, Pleakley, and David, who are also essentially family, will ultimately help and support! A wonderful cartoon about the importance of family💖», — Sun_girl

"I just rewatched it (now a father) and perceived everything completely differently. I was worried about Elastigirl, but on the one hand, I understood the Special One. And their relationship is so lifelike, like that of ordinary people! Super! I was lucky to appreciate this wonderful cartoon as both a child and an adult =)», — tonykurebusu

"I started the trilogy, as I later discovered, with this cartoon. I was absolutely blown away; I really didn't expect such an impact. A wonderfully unique style, folkloric themes, pleasant animation and music, and Brendon Gleeson doing the voiceover. Lately, that's more than enough for a good project, but there's something else inside that really grabs you", — Freeman_FDC

“I can’t watch this cartoon without tears, it touches the hidden strings of my soul. The relationship between Merida and Elinor is my Roman Empire, I see myself and my mother in it. The cartoon is moderately instructive, moderately funny and touching. Perfect, in a word. Merida is one of the best Disney princesses, an icon of feminism💗", — alicent

Also about winter cartoons that you don't have on your "viewed" list, but they're awesome.:
"The Grinch" 2018 - don't Compare it to the movie, Heaven and Earth
"The Nightmare before Christmas" 1993 - I advise you to listen to the songs in the original with subtitles
"The Christmas Story" 2009 is, in my opinion, one of the best film adaptations, moderately creepy, moderately magical.
While I've watched it in full, it will come out in quality, I'll watch it again.
It was a good idea, but that was the end of it. The characters are completely flat, except for Rumi and Jinu, and they didn't turn out to be too voluminous either. The plot is lame, there are a lot of incomprehensibility and holes... Only the tiger and the bird liked it from and to))
They'll probably get me, but that's the way it is. I'm unlikely to review it, even though I've set the cartoon to 4.
And now IMHO: definitely not the best Netflix cartoon, Klaus will be stronger, even though there is no k-pop 🤷🏻♀️😉
Comparing Klaus and the huntress is not right, each of them is good 😉
The rest of the cartoons have been viewed and revised several times.
There are so many piles of new and old TV series and movies. Now here it is... A few days ago, I had a wild desire to review the 00x-10x cartoon classics, but I steadfastly interrupted him and here is a selection as a sign of "watch if you want" 🥲🥲🥲 I already organized a Pixar marathon in the summer, apparently I will continue🥹
The selection is wonderful! Thank you! ✌️
