| Film Synopsis |

“In Frozen II, the answer to why Elsa was born with magical powers is calling her and threatening her kingdom. Together with Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven, she sets out on a dangerous but remarkable journey.”

| Video |

"Frozen II" is rendered from a 2K DI and up-converted to 4K. The film looks  fantastic and a clear jump from the Blu-ray where you get an enhanced crispness.  Disney’s 2160p upscale uses HDR10 high dynamic range to good effect.

| Audio |

The Dolby Atmos track fares a little bit better than the 7.1 DTS-HD MA mix from the Blu-ray. Elsa works the magic in a 360 degree arena with every corner providing some overtime to make the movie come to life. Vocals are clear and crisp.
