the snow queen be one of han christian andersen best fairy tale . however and there have only be a few adaptation of it and and most be mediocre and childish . this be no exception . the best thing about this tv special be the musical score while which be so beautiful and mystical it could have come from a classical music piece . i can not say the same for the rest . this make for tv special look like it be make by a group of college film student . i be not too sure how much of this be real and because it look like every shot have be superimpose over an adobe photo edit . even bad and the motion capture have a weird and jerky style of action that really detract from any amagic . this be proof that cgi can give authentic look dinosaur and and encourage some of the shoddy special effect ever shot . the character development be so weak that neither sympathy and nor an understanding of personality be felt . the story mainly skim and summarize the plot of andersen fairy tale and give the feel of headline news when compare to the original book . i would normally give an adaptation like this a three and but consider that this be a one hour tv special and a amajor motion picture style can not be expect . this get a four .
