It feels like forever ago now, but sometime last school year Lily came home singing a new song, “Frozen Hozen Pozen, Let it Go Just please Just Please.” She’d learned all about a new movie called Frozen from her best friend Tayla. That began many days of the girls playing “Frozen.” I slowly began to piece some of the story together and my first impressions were only of the leggy Va Va Voom character in her ice dress singing about letting go and not caring about something anymore.
Disney movies aren’t first on our list of “Must See,” but I figured this was one I needed to check out. My mom brought the movie up with her on a visit, we all watched it and I have to say, it was ok with me. I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats. (Why do I make obscure references no one but I will get?!) There are a lot of loose ends in the movie plot, but I still had fun watching it. The story is based on the Hans Christian Andersen story The Snow Queen which I appreciated and I also appreciated that the “love story” of this movie is the love between the two main characters, who are sisters, instead of the typical “romantic” love Disney is known for. Plus, I’m a sucker for fjords.
But no one attached herself to this Frozen hub bub more than out little Essie. I knew she would love a Frozen birthday party. So that’s what happened.
And I was so so glad my mom was here to visit us again and was able to turn Esther into “Frozen” AKA Elsa with some old fabric I found and a Cinderella crown.
Now for your listening pleasure and for a taste of what we heard ALL DAY LONG on Thursday, Esther will perform Elsa singing Let It Go.
“Let it doh, let it doh, I don’t kerr anymo’!”
To clarify what Elsa is letting go; Elsa has been told to conceal her magic from everyone. She slips up and has to run away. Now she gonna be throwin’ Ice everywhere and she don’t care who know!
