The plot of the sequel is both convoluted and familiar.

The songs, perhaps not as compelling as in the original, still make the heart beat faster now and then.

So Frozen 2's attempts to evolve may not be entirely successful. So Frozen 2 seems like it's doing too much. There's something endearing about watching it try, and stumble, and try again.

It's rare to have a sequel that's better than the first -- but that's exactly what [Frozen 2] does.
