[ANNA]
I've seen dark before
But not like this
This is cold
This is empty
This is numb
The life I\u2005knew\u2005is over
The light's\u2005are out
Hello, darkness
I'm ready to succumb

I\u2005follow you around
I always have
But you've gone to a place I cannot find
This grief has a gravity
It pulls me down

But a tiny voice whispers in my mind
You are lost, hope is gone
But you must go on
And do the next right thing

Can there be a day beyond this night?
I don't know anymore what is true
I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
The only star that guided me was you

How to rise from the floor
When it's not you I'm rising for?
Just do the next right thing
Take a step, step again
It is all that I can to do
The next right thing

I won't look too far ahead
It's too much for me to take
But break it down to this next breath
This next step
This next choice is one that I can make

So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn, what comes then?
When it's clear that everything will never be the same again
Then I'll make the choice
To hear that voice
And do the next right thing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"The Next Right Thing\" Lyrics <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
[ANNA]
I've seen dark before
But not like this
This is cold
This is empty
This is numb
The life I\u2005knew\u2005is over
The light's\u2005are out
Hello, darkness
I'm ready to succumb

I\u2005follow you around
I always have
But you've gone to a place I cannot find
This grief has a gravity
It pulls me down

But a tiny voice whispers in my mind
You are lost, hope is gone
But you must go on
And do the next right thing

Can there be a day beyond this night?
I don't know anymore what is true
I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
The only star that guided me was you

How to rise from the floor
When it's not you I'm rising for?
Just do the next right thing
Take a step, step again
It is all that I can to do
The next right thing

I won't look too far ahead
It's too much for me to take
But break it down to this next breath
This next step
This next choice is one that I can make

So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn, what comes then?
When it's clear that everything will never be the same again
Then I'll make the choice
To hear that voice
And do the next right thing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"The Next Right Thing\" Lyrics <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
[ANNA]
I've seen dark before
But not like this
This is cold
This is empty
This is numb
The life I\u2005knew\u2005is over
The light's\u2005are out
Hello, darkness
I'm ready to succumb

I\u2005follow you around
I always have
But you've gone to a place I cannot find
This grief has a gravity
It pulls me down

But a tiny voice whispers in my mind
You are lost, hope is gone
But you must go on
And do the next right thing

Can there be a day beyond this night?
I don't know anymore what is true
I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
The only star that guided me was you

How to rise from the floor
When it's not you I'm rising for?
Just do the next right thing
Take a step, step again
It is all that I can to do
The next right thing

I won't look too far ahead
It's too much for me to take
But break it down to this next breath
This next step
This next choice is one that I can make

So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn, what comes then?
When it's clear that everything will never be the same again
Then I'll make the choice
To hear that voice
And do the next right thing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"The Next Right Thing\" Lyrics <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
[ANNA]
I've seen dark before
But not like this
This is cold
This is empty
This is numb
The life I\u2005knew\u2005is over
The light's\u2005are out
Hello, darkness
I'm ready to succumb

I\u2005follow you around
I always have
But you've gone to a place I cannot find
This grief has a gravity
It pulls me down

But a tiny voice whispers in my mind
You are lost, hope is gone
But you must go on
And do the next right thing

Can there be a day beyond this night?
I don't know anymore what is true
I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
The only star that guided me was you

How to rise from the floor
When it's not you I'm rising for?
Just do the next right thing
Take a step, step again
It is all that I can to do
The next right thing

I won't look too far ahead
It's too much for me to take
But break it down to this next breath
This next step
This next choice is one that I can make

So I'll walk through this night
Stumbling blindly toward the light
And do the next right thing
And with the dawn, what comes then?
When it's clear that everything will never be the same again
Then I'll make the choice
To hear that voice
And do the next right thing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more.

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process.

You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar.

This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show!

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process.

You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process.

You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process.

You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process.

You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar.

This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar.

This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar.

This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar.

Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar.

Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar.

This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage.

But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features.

If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty.

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

If you missed catching it in theaters, you're in luck because <em>Abominable<\/em> is out on home media (Blu-ray and Digital HD) now and definitely worth the watch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A co-production between DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio, a Chinese production company,<em> Abominable<\/em> tells the story of a young teenage girl, Yi (Chloe Bennett) who discovers a young Yeti on the roof of her apartment building in China. She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air. Audiences absolutely loved the film, finding the film was charming and an all-around good time for the whole family. The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release.

The film itself is good enough to pick it up and own as part of your animated collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Y4MCSHN\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07Y4MCSHN&linkId=63d96319a0656362160dc58a15bad9c1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"wp-image-55209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art-818x1024.png\" alt=\"abominable-blu-ray-home-media-cover-art\" width=\"614\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The home media release of <em>Abominable<\/em> is jam packed with bonus features. It has everything we've come to expect out of bonus features: shorts, deleted scenes, making-of documentaries, interviews with the cast and crew, fun\/silly segments, and a filmmakers' commentary. If you can't get enough of <em>Abominable<\/em> or about the animation process, then these featurettes are just for you!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>That being said, there are a lot more fluff featurettes than meat-and-potatoes featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of making the film. The featurettes are at their best when they talk about the unique working relationship between DreamWorks and Pearl, but those are touched on just briefly, leaving you craving more. Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself. However, Ian and Barley and their brotherly bond carry the film and ultimately save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Director:<\/strong> Dan Scanlon<br><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Mel Rodriguez, Lena Waithe, Ali Wong<br><strong>Rating:<\/strong> PG for action\/peril and some mild thematic elements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vKR2s6Dldls\">Morgan's <em>Onward<\/em> movie review<\/a> on our YouTube channel or watch below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What did you think of Pixar's <em>Onward<\/em>?

All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.

Also absent in a standalone bonus feature about the music, which played such a key role in the film.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another downside of the release is that only one bonus feature is available on the Digital HD version, which is a bit of a shame, especially for those who are moving their collection to an entirely digital library.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>DREAMWORKS SHORT \u2013 MAROONED\u00a0<\/strong>- Marooned, tells the story of a cantankerous and selfish robot named C-0R13.

The Walt Disney Company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\">just announced<\/a> that <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters, Anna and Elsa, will (finally) officially join the Disney Princess lineup in a virtual coronation ceremony at the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disney Princess coronations are extremely popular events, held exclusively at the Disney Parks. However, since the world's windows are closed (and so's that door) due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is opting for virtual coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa in order to bring the world some Disney cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The livestream, titled, \"The Royal Welcome of Princesses Anna and Elsa\", will be live performance hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming and will prominently feature the two <em>Frozen<\/em> sisters. As part of the broadcast, Anna and Elsa will recount their magical adventures in Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest through stories and songs, including an all-new duet, \"Now Is Our Time\", written by <em>Frozen<\/em> songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Ropert Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The princesses will also debut new vibrant royal gowns and glittering crowns made exclusively for the event, designed by Walt Disney Animation visual development artist Brittney Lee. These one-of-a-kind gowns are made from 56 yards of Arendellian satin, embroidered with more than 1700 snowflakes and emblems that represent their kingdom, family, and Nordic heritage. The beautiful crowns hold 354 dazzling jewels that have been responsibly sourced from diamond mines in Norway. Fans of Anna and Elsa will also be able to find specialty merchandise like their new dresses, crowns, and scepters on Shop Disney, immediately following the livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press release about the announcement, Ken Potrock, President of Disney Consumer Products, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>We are thrilled to welcome Anna and Elsa into the Disney Princess family with this one-of-a-kind coronation ceremony! Fans have been clamoring for their inclusion since 'Frozen' was released, but it finally felt like the right time not only to introduce two new princesses into the Disney Princess royal court, but also two queens who will continue to be strong role models to girls of all generations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sisters were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/03\/08\/frozen-leading-ladies-to-be-disney-princesses\/\">originally slated<\/a> to join the Disney Princess lineup back in 2014. But when <em>Frozen<\/em> became an unexpected worldwide phenomenon, Disney Consumer Products changed its direction with the sisters and instead launched their own marketing segment, <a href=\"https:\/\/frozen.disney.com\/\">Disney Frozen<\/a>. Fans eventually succumbed to the fact that the coronations would never happen, since the sisters each became queen in the <em>Frozen<\/em> franchise and were therefore not eligible to enter the Disney Princess pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh D'Amaro, President of the Walt Disney World Resort, also added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em>The virtual double coronation ceremony for Anna and Elsa is unprecedented for the Walt Disney Company, but we felt was the world needed some Disney magic during this time of uncertainty. We hope that the virtual coronation will be a fun event that families can look forward to during this time when the Disney Parks are closed and most around the world are quarantined in their homes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent additions to the Disney Princess lineup were Moana, Elena of Avalor, and Merida, the latter who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2013\/04\/29\/merida-to-officially-be-coronated-as-disney-princess-gets-new-look\/\">had her own ceremony<\/a> at Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage in 2013 at Walt Disney World\u2019s Magic Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna and Elsa's Disney Princess coronation ceremony will be held on Friday, April 24, 2020 at 9:30AM EST and will be streamed live on the Disney Princess website and the company's other social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More info about\u00a0the announcement and coronation livestream details can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/april-fools-rotoscopers.jpg\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><em>And if it's still not obvious after looking at the source: APRIL FOOLS!<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">What do you think about Anna and Elsa finally being inducted to the Disney Princess franchise?

That's because Pixar has mastered the magic formula of emotional storytelling and compelling characters to produce world-class films. Will the studio's newest release, <em><strong>Onward<\/strong><\/em>, bring the magic again? Keep reading our <em>Onward<\/em> movie review to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><em>Onward<\/em> Movie Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a modern fantasy world that's all but forgotten magic, <em>Onward<\/em> tells the story of two blue-skinned elvish brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt) Lightfoot, who go on a quest to reunite with the late father. Their father, Wilden, died when the boys were both very young: Ian was just a baby with no memories of his dad and Barley was just a toddler with only a handful memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian is an awkward and unconfident teenager. He's obsessed with learning everything about his dad because he's convinced that his life would be different if his dad were still around showing him the ropes. Barley is an energetic, magic enthusiast, engrossed the old magical world. He spends his time driving around in his unicorn-painted van, Guinevere, trying to preserve the city's old magical relics and playing a Dungeons & Dragons-esque game \"Quests of Yore\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-ian-\" class=\"wp-image-55746\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Ian's 16th birthday, the boys' mom Laurel (Julie Louis-Dreyfus) gives the brothers a present from their late father: a wizard staff complete with a visitation spell that will resurrect the dad for just 24 hours. Ian gets the spell to work, but the magical gem needed to complete the spell shatters in the middle of casting it, leaving just the dad's legs. In order to bring their dad fully back, they must obtain another rare phoenix gem before the sun sets the next day, since the clock already started ticking on the dad's time back on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-ian-barley-trust-bridge-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review--still-ian-barley-trust-bridge\" class=\"wp-image-55745\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the boys depart on their quest, the plot gets a bit formulaic, feeling too much like the Dungeons & Dragons game from which director Dan Scanlon obviously took inspiration. Ian and Barley easily solve the riddles and clues needed to get them to the next stage in their adventure. Either way, it's fun to see how the embers of the ancient world and magic are still alive in New Mushroomton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brothers' relationship is the core of the film, as Ian and Barley (with their legs-only dad in tow) set out on a quest together. Yes, the dad is present, but since he can't talk or interact much with the boys, he's mostly a bumbling third wheel that is good for a few gags here and there. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows, as there are lots of quarrels, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings along the way. This allows the brothers' bond to be truly tested on their journey as they learn to work together towards their mutual goal of reuniting with their dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most intriguing aspects of <em>Onward<\/em> is its premise and setting: a once-magical fantasy world found magic too difficult to master, so turned to technology to make life easier. We find our characters in modern fantasy world, a suburb called New Mushroomton, that's void of magic: power lines litter the sky, an expressway filled with rattling cars, and garbage-eating unicorns roam the streets (these glorious, majestic creatures to us are just vermin akin to raccoons to them, which is a pretty funny gag).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, however, is where all the intrigue stops. We're told that magic has been so long forgotten, yet it's so easily mastered by Ian. His brother Barley, being a magic-obsessed zealot but not having the gift of magic himself, seems to know everything they need to do to properly wield the staff. It makes you wonder why more people aren't as interested in these lost arts, searching for magical objects, or bringing back dead family members if these two could figure it out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pixar-onward-still-manticores-tavern-1024x429.jpg\" alt=\"pixar-onward-movie-review-still-manticores-tavern-ian-barley\" class=\"wp-image-55743\"\/><figcaption>\u00a9 2019 Disney\/Pixar. All Rights Reserved.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cast is small, but packs a punch--especially when it comes to the fire-breathing dragon\/lion creature, the Manticore (Octavia Spencer). This formerly ferocious beast now manages a family restaurant called the Manticore's Tavern and deals with mundane small business stresses such as late employees, cold food, and entitled customers. She's a key character to helping the Lightfoots on their mission, but refuses to help due to too many lawsuits. Her character is bound to be a crowd favorite as she's dimensional, charming, and goes on her transformational quest of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are a few lulls in the story, <em>Onward<\/em> eventually gets the audience where it needs to go, tugging at your heartstrings along the way in typical Pixar fashion. For a film focused so much on bringing back magic, it's missing the magic itself.

While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/2019\/11\/14\/frozen-2-review-do-you-want-to-build-a-sequel\/\">the sequel is on par with the original<\/a>, do the bonus features likewise stack up? This <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray review breaks it all down!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bonus Features \u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\"><em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/a> release shows up with all the standard features you would expect--deleted scenes, deleted songs, outtakes, music videos, a mini making-of documentary, and outtakes, to name a few. All the bonus features included on the Blu-ray are included in the Digital HD release; however, the digital release does have two extra bonuses, which tip the scales in the digital's favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a shame (but no surprise) that the feature-length documentary 'Into the Unknown: The Making of <em>Frozen II<\/em>' isn't included in this release, but it seems obvious that Disney is saving it as an exclusive release for when <em>Frozen 2<\/em> eventually hits its streaming service Disney+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably missing is the coveted director\/filmmakers' commentary, which seems to have been phased out in recent years. It's a shame because they're fairly straightforward to put together (sit down, watch movie, talk about the making of said movie). We know the directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, were brought back together to record the introductions to many of the bonus features, so it's a head scratcher why they couldn't carve out a few more hours to record the director's commentary. Whatever the reason, the <em>Frozen 2<\/em> director's commentary is missed and would have been a real treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Frozen_II_22-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"Elsa confronts the Nokk\" class=\"wp-image-55227\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blu-ray & Digital<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sing-Along Version of the Movie<\/strong>: Since the film was re-released in theaters in sing-along form, it only makes sense to include it as a bonus feature since all the heavy lifting was already done. And since we know every little girl, boy, and (let's be honest) adult already belts the lyrics to all the songs every time they watch, this bonus feature turns the movie turns your living room into a bonafide karaoke bar.<\/li><li><strong>Song Selection<\/strong>: If you have a favorite song sequence that you want to watch over and over, this feature allows you to skip directly to your favorite songs. Songs include \u201cInto The Unknown,\u201d \u201cAll Is Found,\u201d \u201cSome Things Never Change,\u201d \u201cWhen I Am Older,\u201d \u201cLost in the Woods,\u201d \u201cShow Yourself,\u201d and \u201cThe Next Right Thing\u201d.<\/li><li><strong>Outtakes<\/strong>: Rapid fire outtakes from the Frozen 2 recording sessions. Watch Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad as they flub or take liberties with their lines.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Scenes<\/strong>: Introduced by directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, we learn about some of their favorite scenes that didn't make the final cut of the film. 'Prologue' shows one of the \"5000\" prologue variations they explored, of the many different prologues; in the 'Secret Room', the sisters discover a secret room and discover shocking information about their mother and father; 'Elsa\u2019s Dream' is a predecessor to \"Into the Unknown\"; 'Hard Nokks' lets us see if Kristoff can handle riding the Nokk; and in 'A Place of Our Own', Elsa Elsa uses her magic to relieve Anna\u2019s lingering doubts about their parents\u2019 faith in her. <\/li><li><strong>Deleted Songs<\/strong>: The music of <em>Frozen<\/em>, brought to life by the songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, is arguably the best part of the franchise. So these deleted songs, introduced by the directors and complete with animatic (storyboards in motion) are a real treat. The Anna ballad \"Home\" is good but was ultimately replaced by \"Some Things Never Change\", which incorporated more characters. However, it's the Kristoff\/Anna duet, \"I Wanna Get This Right\" that steals the show. It's rare when the deleted songs are better than the ones left in the film, but this song is definitely one of them.<\/li><li><strong>The Spirits of \u201cFrozen 2\u201d<\/strong>: This 12-minute featurette includes interviews from various the directors and voice actors and explores the the Scandinavian and Nordic mythology that inspired the spirits inhabiting the enchanted forest of <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. We dig deep into each of the four spirits, which is needed since there were a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WNxJnrcPJgk\">unanswered questions<\/a> about these elements.<\/li><li><strong>Did You Know???<\/strong>: Learn a bunch of fun facts, Easter eggs, and tidbits about the making of the film as Olaf asks us the question \u201cDid You Know\u201d. <\/li><li><strong>Scoring a Sequel<\/strong>: Composer Christophe Beck combines a 91-piece orchestra with 30 choral voices to create the compelling score for <em>Frozen 2<\/em>. He discusses how he used woodwinds to reflect the wind elements or how he was able to use the instruments to create a raindrop effect.<\/li><li><strong>Gale Tests: <\/strong>Introduced by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, we learn about the challenge the wind spirit Gale presented, specifically how to visualize the wind. The \"Gale Test\" may look familiar to many keen-eyed Frozen fans, as it's fully rendered CGI footage of young King Agnar and Queen Iduna playing with Gale was included in the film's promotional material, but was never in the final film. We also get a brief 2D animation test of Gale that brings the wind spirit to life.<\/li><li><strong>Multi-Language Reel<\/strong>: A bonus feature that was popular for the first Frozen release is brought back for the sequel. Watch Elsa sing \"Into the Unknown\" in 29 languages, complete with the film visuals.<\/li><li><strong>Music Videos<\/strong>: The music video bonus features are always throwaway for me; however, this time, they actually piqued my interest. Panic At The Disco's \"Into the Unknown\" isn't anything special (other than Brendon Urie's incredible vocals) and contrasts shots of Elsa attempting to cross the Dark Sea with Urie singing on stage. But it's Weezer's \"Lost in the Woods\", which steals the show! The music video recreates Kristoff's epic power ballad scene by scene and is hilarious to witness this already over-the-top scene in real life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/recap_14_Frozen_2-1024x428.jpg\" alt=\"'Frozen II'\" class=\"wp-image-55274\"\/><figcaption>[Disney]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Digital Exclusives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Meet the Lopezes<\/strong>: The husband-and-wife songwriting duo, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, walk us through their songwriting process. The way this featurette is put together is interesting, as it features voiceovers from the two and is accompanied by photos, videos, and storyboards from production, along with a few newly created storyboards of the Lopezes, which is a fun way to visualize their <em>Frozen 2<\/em> journey. You also learn the fun fact that Robert Lopez does a killer Josh Gad\/Olaf impression and serves as the snowman's temp voice until Josh Gad comes in.<\/li><li><strong>Deleted Song - \u201cUnmeltable Me\u201d<\/strong>: \u2013 Turns out the Olaf's flurry from the end of the first film was such a pain for the animating team, so this song was meant for Olaf to explain his new permafrost, but ultimately wasn't needed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frozen 2<\/em> is the highest grossing animated film of all time so you would think Disney would pull out all the stops for its Blu-ray release. However, like its predecessor, <em>Frozen<\/em>, it seems that Disney has kept the status quo for the <em>Frozen 2 <\/em>Blu-ray and the bonus features are good, but not out-of-this-world great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Purchase <em>Frozen 2<\/em> Blu-ray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Amazon<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B082PQ2ZCR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B082PQ2ZCR&linkId=c6f4b58a4ad5743c83b13e2a8e84cceb\">Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Digital HD<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B081NCRMDM\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=therotos-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081NCRMDM&linkId=a961b3383a0463455ef3df0c00987936\">Rent<\/a><\/li><li>Target: <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An advance copy of the <\/em>Frozen 2<em> Blu-ray was provided by Disney. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.

She and her friends embark on an adventure to return him home to his family at the highest point on earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Set it China, the film explores unique and different areas of China than we've typically seen in portrayed on film. Everything from the cast, visuals and music was unexpected and a breath of fresh air.
