I always tried to understand why some people just hates Disney's Frozen but then I also do not get the rave about it. I watched it and i liked it, but not to the extend of obsessing over it. I was fine with it for the first few month since it's debut. The song was pretty decent and I didn't mind little children shrieking to it everytime it came on the radio or TV.
But one night when i was out for dinner (last week), I finally understood the irritation of the "Frozen" phenomena. The Christmas decoration theme this year is all about "Frozen", the usual Christmas song are replaced with "let it go". And I finally came to understand why people just hate to listen to "Let it go".
Okay, this was what went down. Two little girls, singing on top of their lungs, practically screaming "let it go" and that's just it! It's only stuck at the chorus. So i heard just the part "let it go, let it go" for the thousandth time that night. Like a broken record player, it just goes on and on with the "Let it go" part. Seriously kids?! If you really love the song, learn the whole entire freakin lyrics! It's not like they're kids who just learn how to form sentences, they are well above 7 years of age.
So yeah, my mind was mentally singing to the song too (along with them) when it came to that part, I want to just mentally continue with the lyrics but those kids just KEEP REPEATING that same sentence!! I couldn't mentally continue with that volume intruding into my ears involuntarily.
Even in TV, i see kids who sing just "Let it go" the rest is either replaced with gibberish words or hums or worse, left unsung. It really doesn't do justice to the song or the singer.
Back to the Christmas decorations! Just few days ago, I saw in a hotel, the "cast" of Frozen decorating the lobby. And it isn't even well made models, they look weird with the long faces.
Then there's halloween where all kids just wants to dress up as Elsa and in winter, normal snowmen became Olaf. Children T-shirt are printed with Frozen stickers, dresses designed as Elsa's gown, candies with Frozen wrapper, stationaries also printed with Frozen character all over it. GAH!! the horror.....
People! it's getting a little old. The Elsa character is overrated and Anna is underrated. Go watch something else and change obsession once in a while. Go with Big Hero 6 or whatever cartoon that's hot at the moment.
Spare my poor ears and eyes the sight and sound of "Frozen". It feels like i'm being haunted.
