It's been a long time since my children were so into something that's all they think about, talk about, dream about, etc.--maybe since Little Sissy loved The Three Little Pigs so much we had to stop reading it every night because she was starting to have Big Bad Wolf Nightmares. Don't get me wrong. They really, really have enjoyed things--Little Mermaid, Legos, etc. But nothing compares to how much they have gotten into the new animated Disney film Frozen. Nothing. The thing is that I don't mind because I love it too. The story is good. The costumes are fun. The music is captivating. And let's not forget that they've had 6 snow days on top of 2 weeks of Christmas break plus MLK Day so far and it gives them something to focus on. At first they just wanted to wear the costumes and sing some of the songs.
Anna, Olaf the Snowman, and Elsa
Here is Big Sissy singing "Let It Go."
After they recorded themselves singing their favorite songs, they decided to act out the ENTIRE movie using their stuffed animals. I have not obtained permission to publish those videos--at least not yet--but here are some of the photos. I love this creative team.
Christoff and Sven the Reindeer
"Psssst. The sun's awake so I'm awake. Do you want to build a snowman?"
"I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs."
"I know where we have to go."
"It's getting lonely here. I'm starting to talk to the pictures on the wall. Hang in there, Joan."
Coronation Day.
"Conceal. Don't feel."
"Ahem. The gloves, Your Majesty."
The Duke of Weaseltown and his toupee.
Prince Hans and Anna.
"Can I say something crazy? Will you marry me?"
"Can I say something crazier? Yes!"
Anna--I mean Little Sissy--ready for school today.
Stay tuned for Part II as more scenes are added! And for your enjoyment, a clip from the movie itself.
