How Disney's Animation Evolved From 'Frozen' To 'Frozen II' | Movies Insider | Insider

"Frozen 2" is the long-awaited follow-up to the 2013 Disney animated smash hit featuring characters like Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven. For the sequel, animators updated Anna and Elsa's outfits, re-built parts of Arendelle, and figured out how to turn water, wind, fire, and rocks into living, breathing creatures like Gale and the Nokk.
We took a look at all of the interesting details and techniques the Disney animators used to make "Frozen II" and how they improved upon the first film.

I agree! I always rewatch animated movies. When I first watch them, I focus more on the details. And the second time, I focus on the story telling.

when I watched Frozen 2 for the first time in forever, i was focusing on the story. I‘m honestly satisfied for Elsa’s possible death 😅 but then I realize, little children grew up with these characters so- but as a basement musician, video & audio editor, and hopefully an animator someday (i just don’t have much of the tools yet), I can already catch little details and it just elevates my experience of the movie.

[@chibimoon1432]

A friend of mine works with visual effects at ILM and is hands-on in many big budget movies. Those people have their own award shows and a whole culture around what they do - they get their well deserved recognition from their peers/fellow artists in the industry. But it's important to note that all these big or small things that they do for these movies all add up to something really great for the viewer. If the target audience enjoy the movie without being distracted by or questioning the vfx, it's a very good sign and is mostly what they care about.
