The film is a continuous three-hour long scene of a yule log burning in Arendelle Castle's fireplace. I have seen many similar films as this before, such as Andy Warhol's Empire or all seven of Nigel Tomm's films, which are just 63 minutes of the same coloured screen; white, red, yellow, etc. They were all just a waste of time, largely reducing the experience and enjoyment of cinema to the passing of time. Naturally, of course, the film is also a waste of time. Unlike the aforementioned, however, this is only meant to run in the background, as a nice fireplace, to be a substitute for a real one, though your family would have to really love the Frozen franchise to pick this over footage of a real one.
While the sound of the fire crackling is certainly soothing and relaxing, and the fire itself is well-animated, the film is not charming nor unique. The logs the fire is burning on are unchanging, and the same few seconds long animation is looped for over three-hours. A real one with actually changing wood would be much nicer and relaxing. Furthermore, there are no easter eggs or other moving scenes. I realise I signed up to see a fireplace, however I have watched way more interesting backdrops of fireplaces on YouTube, ones with windows were snowing outside was visible, or the fire place was elegantly decorated. The least Disney could do is at least provide an easter egg! Watching footage of a real, non-looped fireplace on YouTube or Vimeo would be much more entertaining, pleasant and worth while than this.
