Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The 3D work is quite remarkable, taking into account the rather limited budget (I've seen movies budgeted at over 100 million failing to achieve that level of quality). Both the settings and the characters deserve the highest praise. Particularly, the character design is a bit too much Disney, but nicely done anyway, with beautiful clothing and face dynamics. Lighting and texturing is absolutely great. In a nutshell, "The Snow Queen" is kind of a little masterpiece, joining high levels of realism with all the expression one could expect from an animated film. What is more important, all the impressive technical achievement is put to the service of storytelling.

Being the third part of Snow Queen franchise The Snow Queen 3: Fire and Ice has gained and improved its own graphic style and has gotten better in visual effects. I really enjoyed the fantastic scenery the story developed in, all those mountain gorges, snow avalanches, volcano eruptions, a pirate ship skiing in magnificent landscapes and a train made of ice. The thing I also liked is that although being a sequel The Snow Queen 3 is independent from other parts and if you haven't watched the previous ones it is not a problem at all. You can start watching this part and enjoy it not knowing the previous stories.As for the message of the animation the story tells about vital things: the importance of being a family, the choice everyone makes between good and evil and that everyone should treasure their relations. These themes are important for our children and it is good that animated feature films touch these things in their plots. The final fight scene is very impressive and the evil has been defeated.As for the weak points the thing I lacked is some well memorized and catchy song although the music of The Snow Queen 3 is impressive.

Traditions mean a lot to Russia. There aren't many of them, but each is very warm and cozy. That's how, back in 2012, the first Snow Queen animated movie appeared – it won children's hearts at once as well as made adults believe in magic and hope to see its sequel
Time passes
So, at the end of 2016, the third instalment of the franchise was released already.Some people anticipated it, others were a bit worried – as we're always a little afraid to get disappointed in something we like. Fortunately, that didn't happen but let's start from the beginning
There's no point in re-telling the plot, as a lot of people have already seen the movie or read other reviews. I'd rather share my impressions and emotions with you instead. What I liked most of all was the fact that the characters had grown up, they encountered problems that I think everyone does encounter, and faced a really hard choice between good and evil. I think I needed more drama and the characters' inner feelings, but the image itself compensated really well. The audience watches its bright colors and fantastic nature sceneries during the whole movie length, so I caught myself thinking that I wouldn't have guessed that The Snow Queen 3 is a Russian movie if I hadn't known it in the beginning.I'd like to mention the music separately. The soundtrack is very positive and stays in your head for a long time after you've left the movie theater.In short, I'd recommend the movie to those who wants to keep their New Year and Christmas mood going for longer, to have a good time, and just to get absorbed in the world of magic fairy tales.

This is 'the' worst animation movie I have ever seen. No particular Story/Plot, No Direction, Horrible Script, no coordination between the dialogues and the animation, to top it all Bad Music.. all the basic ingredients for an animation movie missing! I do not know what was the motive behind making this movie. There should be a serious quality check for such movies being produced and marketed. It was a mix of haphazard colored animated scenes with no correlation or story to tie them up.The characters within the movie have no context or place within the loose plot and just keep appearing once a while without a particular agenda.This is a No Watch! Keep Away!
