I think it's better than the Lion King, personally. It's got a lot more depth to it.

Saw it and I thought the movie was spectacular! Imo I am in musical theatre and it has the most broadway stlye music Disney had written in a long long time. I loved the characters and all the emotion in it. Really had mr engaged the whole time and haf just enough twist at the end to give it that dark aspect I was waiting for. Just put simply it was beautiful. In all honesty I liked it better then a few disney rennasaince films. Truly a must see and deserves the two oscars for sure! If Disney sticks to the musical aspect I can see there films only growing from here!

Well, Big Hero 6 is next year's offering, and from what I understand, that's not going to be a musical. Which is a shame, because more superhero movies need musical numbers, in my opinion.

Oh, it absolutely does. Plus, it's going to feature a giant robot and a super-powered sushi chef. There is nothing about that previous sentence that I didn't like.

An excellent articale proving that Disney's marketing campegin isn't as stupid we think. Underselling a film is actually a good point, but not without consequence. It leads some to write a product off without ever giving it the light of day (some posters on here come to mind).

Well, again, in the case of Tangled and Frozen, the marketing campaign worked, and word of mouth is reaching some of those it missed. In other cases, like John Carter, well, the numbers don't lie on that.
Issue with john carter was the film was pretty subpar so those that saw it went "meh" at best.

Wreck-It Ralph wasn't a musical and look how successful the film was.
We aren't talking about it being succesful or not! Just that I think we all wan't more quality musicals from the company, in the renassiance era it was back to back to back for the most part. Disney hasn't announced offically the next musical in the canon.

You and I must be talking to different people. Most of the folks I talked to enjoyed it; I certainly did. My only major complaint is that Bryan Cranston was criminally underused in the film.

Woah thats great! So it already beat out Princess and the frogs run, I think once that global release gets going this film might even top tangleds box office performance.

It is well ahead of Tangle performance ( domestically ). It will almost for certain hit 300 million and if it maintains it's current legs it will finish well above 300m.
It will finish 2nd to The Lion King and only behind Pixar's TS3 and Nemo.
It's well deserved. Such a complete film... you have to nitpick to find faults.
Everyone should see this twice. Look at the song lyrics before seeing it a 2nd time... they all tie together and foretell much of the plot.
The animation is stunning. Disney has caught up to Pixar and passed it in some cases. ( struggles with hands however )
The 'First Time In Forever Reprise' ( Elsa & Anna in the ice castle ) is amazing. Reflections and transparencies in the ice, snow, swirling wind blown hair. Blows me away.
This will be a musical. It would be a fitting replacement to Aladden in DCA if they have't already developed something else.
