La Bûche de Noël du château d'Arendelle

This is not meant to be watched like a movie. It's meant for background noise for people trying to relax or studying. I honestly love videos like these and I'm glad Disney is starting to release these!

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.

At least make olaf do a silly thing walking left and right a few times... Or don't make people get a 3h long, twice an animated movie, of a burning log on repeat! It's not even frozen-looking. I guess it contains spoilers since there is only 1 thing going on: NOOOOOTHIIIIING!

Proof pudding that the gulible can be fooled, again, and again, and again; which is how this movie portrays itself.

A simple scene, hooked by a "famous" movie, repeated over and over, and the fools will watch. Much like paint drying or grass growing.

One commentator accidently found the edit point, by saying there was a "glitch" in the movie. THAT my friends, was the repeat point.

No thought or care was put into it. The room is eerily still and boring. It's shocking that they didn't include any scenes using the characters from the franchise. No fun Easter eggs for kids. It's clear no heart or soul was put into this corporate disaster. It's not even a good Yule log video. The fire itself is pathetic and it freezes very noticeably for an instant every second or so. I would expect more thought and love from Disney, especially on something as simple as this.
