Movies that feel likeFrozen (2013)

Young princess Anna of Arendelle dreams about finding true love at her sister Elsa’s coronation. Fate takes her on a dangerous journey in an attempt to end the eternal winter that has fallen over the kingdom. She's accompanied by ice delivery man Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and snowman Olaf. On an adventure where she will find out what friendship, courage, family, and true love really means.

If you loved Frozen, the closest films we have are Epic (2013), Brave (2012) and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010). All three share Frozen's whimsical and warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998).
