Frozen 2: 9 Ways The Sequel Improved On The Original
6. The Songs
Though they'll never be as catchy as Let It Go, the songs in Frozen 2 have far deeper impact, emotion, and overall quality to them than their predecessors. Before the film came out, Into The Unknown was seen as the sort of spiritual successor to Let It Go, the song itself still a massive hit alongside its equally hyped Panic! At The Disco cover. Later on, however, it seems like the late game belter, Show Yourself, with its themes of self-discovery in the film as well as the stunning visuals and sound, really connected with audiences.
Olaf's song, When I'm Older, was hilariously tongue-in-cheek for adults with creative and funny visuals for the kids. Kristoff's ballad, Lost In The Woods, was visually hilarious, but romantic and a bit melancholic on its own.
Ana's two songs, Some Things Never Change, and The Next Right Thing, feel connected in the way her arc progresses, with the former being sentimental and the latter being heartrending yet determined.
Most fascinating, however, is their mother's opening lullaby, All Is Found. It carries a lot of worldbuilding weight, setting the film's tone while also spoiling the film's climax once you hear the lyrics again.
