The Academy Awards revealed its nominations on Monday morning, and “Frozen 2” was not mentioned under the animated film nominees. Fans of the film weren’t happy about it.
What happened: The 92nd Academy Awards unveiled its nominees for best animated picture. Disney’s “Toy Story 4” and “Frozen 2” were expected to be named among the nominees. “Toy Story 4” received the nod, while “Frozen 2” was left out to dry.
- The nominees included: “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,” “I Lost My Body,” “Klaus,” “Missing Link,” and “Toy Story 4.”
What critics said: Critics had mixed reviews for the film. It received a 77% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, who said the film couldn’t recapture the magic created by the first one.
What audiences said: Audiences seemed to enjoy the film, giving it a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Money talks: “Frozen 2” earned $1.4 billion at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo. But box office numbers aren’t always an indication of critical success. For example, “Avengers: Endgame” became the highest-grossing film of all time, but it didn’t receive a best picture nomination from any major film award ceremony.
Social media reaction: Fans of “Frozen 2” expressed their worry on social media over the film getting snubbed, according to ComicBook.com.
Still: The “Frozen 2” song “Into the Unknown” was nominated for best original song.
