The Snow Queen Movie Review 2002

An updated reworking of the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale is visually splendid but overly long. Gerda (Hobbs) lives with her bitter father (Wisden) in a remote hotel in the snowy north country. She's attracted to bellboy Kai (Guilbat), who disappears after a beautiful but sinister guest (Fonda) also leaves. So Gerda decides to track them down and save Kai from the evil Snow Queen.
