I watched Frozen II on Netfix DVD today. I liked it, maybe not quite as much as the original Frozen. Olaf was funny with lines like “Makes me wonder why they don’t just make the whole ship waterproof?” but not as hilarious as the first movie. I’ll give it 4 out of 5.
[From Wikipedia]Frozen II, also known as Frozen 2, is a 2019 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios.
