Ice Princess
With the help of her coach, her mom, and the boy who drives the Zamboni, nothing can stop Casey Carlyle from realizing her dream to be a champion figure skater.
Critics Sentiment
Joan arrives at sectionals to support Casey's skating performance
Casey's performance is riddled with falls and poor jumps at competition
The dramatic shift from Casey's devastating competition failure and subsequent quitting (4.8) to her emotional reconciliation with Joan and triumphant sectionals performance (7.8).
Ice Princess follows a predictable but satisfying emotional arc that resonates with family audiences despite its formulaic Disney structure. The film starts modestly with Casey's journey into skating, dips significantly during the sabotage and failure sequence, but recovers strongly through character reconciliations and an uplifting finale. While reviewers consistently note the thin plot and unrealistic physics, they praise the performances, particularly Joan Cusack and Kim Cattrall, and find the mother-daughter relationship genuinely moving.
