Production Notes
Loosely based (very loosely) on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale, “The Snow Queen” has been in production since 1991, but was completed only in 1995. This was in part due to the legal problems in the Philippines. Both it and its sequel were separately released on the DVD by Universal/Right Entertainment in 2003, and then together as a double-pack in 2005. Previously, the two films were also released on the VHS by Warner Bros. It was also later made available through Netflix. In his book “The Enchanted Screen: The Unknown History of Fairy-Tale Films”, Jack Zipes called it “highly comic [and] neatly drawn,” praising the “numerous changes that liven the action and transform the plot in unusual ways.” He wrote “there’s nothing glitzy in this animated film and yet it sparkles with an unusual approach to a humourless tale.”
