With a playful skip and a hop, 'Frostbound Fables' glides across the frozen landscape of clichés, delivering a flurry of mirth that's as fresh as a newly-fallen snow. The film's tagline, 'Breaking the ice with laughter!' is no empty promise; it's a mission statement. Amidst the frosted-over domain of the arctic tundra, legendary director Alejandro González Iguanarritu weaves a tale so whimsical, it could make a polar bear don a tutu and pirouette. Harvey Kebabtel's Glaciala is as cheeky as a fairy with an espresso addiction, while Josh Broccoli's portrayal of Jack Frostington warms the heart like a cup of cocoa. And let's not forget Mark Ruffleo, whose gentle giant will make you want to hug the next yeti you meet. Yes, the film totters on the brink of syrupy sentimentality at times, but it never fully takes the plunge. Instead, it pirouettes with grace, delivering a blizzard of laughs with a sparkle of wintry magic. It's a PG-rated sleigh ride of fun that's as enchanting for the young as it is for those young at frost. In the glacial expanse of family movies, 'Frostbound Fables' is the snowball that stands out—mostly because it hits you right in the funny bone. A 7.5 on the critic-o-meter, because let's face it, who can resist cracking a smile when the ice starts cracking up?
