FROZEN

The Disney Company have been making animation movies based on classic tales of magic and romance. It began in 1937 with “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”, and Disney has made 14 films, including “Cinderella” (1950) and “The Little Mermaid” (1989), through to “The Lion King” and no to “Frozen” a musical, magical winter’s tale based on “The Snow Queen” by Hans Christian Andersen.

THE HOBBIT: DESOLATION OF SMAUG

The book “The Hobbit” was written by 1937 author J. R. R. Tolkien and it became to be a fantasy classic. In 1954, Tolkien returned to the magical setting of Middle Earth and created his great trilogy “The Lord of the Rings”. Director Peter Jackson filmed “The Lord of the Rings” starting in 2001 and it became a vastly profitable movie trilogy. Now Jackson has chosen to make “The Hobbit” into a trilogy, and the second film “The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug” doing big box-office business.
