For many children, Frozen is their first taste of full-blown fandom.įrozen's Olaf the lovable snowman. Iron Man 3 may be one place above it in the list of all-time worldwide grosses but you don't see hordes of boys dressed in plastic armour quoting Robert Downey Jr's quips verbatim. Like Star Wars, Grease or The Sound of Music, it's somehow both colossal and cultish, the set text for a whole generation of girls (and a fair number of boys). Ironically for a film about the distance that can develop between sisters, Frozen is the one cultural artefact both my daughters can agree on. Over the Easter holidays, my daughter heard another girl singing Let It Go, Frozen's centrepiece anthem, and they became instant friends, like two men at a barbeque realising that they support the same football team. By the time it became the highest-grossing animated movie of all-time (overtaking Toy Story 3) at the end of March it was a generational touchstone. At first, Frozen was simply the new Disney movie. It's a rare thrill to watch a genuine pop-culture phenomenon unfold.
