Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.4|5.0

Snow
Queen—Russian film with potential from the get-go—is limited by
its small storyline, its lack of clarity and cohesiveness, and its general lack
of purpose. Sequels, at this point seem unnecessary.
Storyline
Two
orphaned children must defeat the Snow Queen’s ambitious plans.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe.
The movie does not cross the cultural borderline well and creates some
confusion as it does not easily transition between scenes. Read a plotline to
the children before viewing to ensure they will understand what they are
watching. Better entertainment still belongs to animated features such as
Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Pixar's Coco.
