After the princesses had grown up, I was immediately annoyed by the first 2 songs, and the fact that we were dealing with princesses and romance again. Granted, the Midas touch problem was slightly more interesting, but I'm immediately wondering why the cursed princess, too dangerous to allow even her sister to see her, is the one who is coronated. Seems logical she should be trained to abdicate and allow the "normal" sister ascend the throne. Whatever.
IMDb credits say this was inspired by Hans C. Anderson's The Snow Queen. I'm not an expert on that tale, but "inspired by" is a fairly loose connection.
2 love interests for the normal sister, plus a reindeer sidekick for one guy, and a sentient snowman round out the cast, with a giant snow monster and a nation of trolls along for the ride. Supposedly "true love's kiss" was going to solve the problem, but it was "true love" in a non-romantic sense that saved the day.
Maybe it was my mood, but I don't think so. I'll give it a "6" in case mood is the problem.
