Although much of the focus of the LEGO® Disney theme is fuelled by Disney’s 100th Anniversary, there are still a couple of sets simply inspired by Disney and not tied to the company’s milestone. One such set is Anna and Elsa’s Magical Carousel, which is inspired by the much-loved Frozen franchise. As the Summer Set reviews continue it’s off to Arendelle for a look at this fun little LEGO Disney’s Frozen set.

With the masses of new sets being released on June 1st, there are a few seemingly random sets thrown in there. Random in the case that they have no connection to anything being released at the same time. One such set is inspired by Disney’s Frozen and transforms part of its magical icy world into a small carousel.
The set is quite similar in style to Elsa’s Jewellery Box, so it’s not actually based on a moment from any of the Frozen films. Instead, it’s inspired by the world and thus the set is filled with white and trans-blue elements. As the name suggests, this is a carousel and it does turn thanks to the top section being mounted to the bottom via a turntable plate. However, there isn’t any sort of mechanism which can power this, so you merely turn the top section to make it rotate. There are spaces to mount each of the four characters. The set also features two small sleighs, in all honesty, these seem a little redundant. They can’t be added to the carousel and offer very little in terms of playability.
Due to the small scale of the set, the included characters are all micro-dolls. All four of the main characters are featured in the same and they are all unique, although most of the heads and hair have been previously used for other versions of the characters. Olaf still looks odd with the same head element used in other sets popped onto a standard minifigure head for the body. At least the updated head, which has a painted mouth and space for a twig to be added. Overall, it’s a nice cheap set, which would make a nice gift for young fans of the Frozen films.
