So I attempted to watch Frozen 2 last night, and... that is certainly a movie that exists.
We gave up around when they'd finished the flashback and there had been at least 2 songs about what's his face not being able to propose to the-not-magic-girl.
Did the plot go anywhere?

Like if folks say "oh actually it gets good and Other Sister becomes a magical girl", that'd be cool. I feel like it was just going to be more songs about not terribly much, though?
It's weird to watch a musical that doesn't seem to understand the purpose of songs in a musical.

I wish I could find write-up (hit me up with links), but the gist is this. Here's how you place your songs and dances:
- If your emotions are too strong to be spoken, you sing.
- If what you're expressing is even stronger, then you need to dance.
- Crescendo? Sing AND dance.
- If your emotions are too strong to be spoken, you sing.
- If what you're expressing is even stronger, then you need to dance.
- Crescendo? Sing AND dance.
That has the handy side effect of placing your singing and dancing numbers at the emotional inflection points of the story you're telling. It creates pacing, and an emotional beat.
Frozen 2 (and a lot of recent didney) is more like: "we need to pad for when we release the OST"
