The Frozen obsession

FleurFairy — Sat, 20 Sep 2014 15:31:41 GMT

What is it with this Frozen obsession? I saw the movie and enjoyed it, but it certainly wasn't as good as The Lion King or The Little Mermaid or the older Disney films like Snow White. Q is pushing these Frozen toys like none other. And that screechy "Let It Go" song is everywhere.

I have no desire to see the movie. However, it seems that kids really enjoy it and that is what seems to be driving the craze. I was cleaning up in my kitchen and I had QVC, on in the background. I thought that I heard Kristen say that they sold 12,000 dolls in about 6 minutes or something to that affect.

I don't get it either. There are so many better Disney movies. Even my niece was kind of meh about it.

Face it, they laid in a ton of them and now they have to unload them. After all, the Q has 'overkill' down to an art form...

I had ordered my 8 year old granddaughter all three of the dolls the Q promoted during CIJ...when she came over I showed them to her and asked if she wanted them....she said no..so I cancelled them...

The grands were over two weekends ago and we walked through Toys R Us...and low and behold...there was stacks of all three dolls on the shelf...of which she still wasn't interested in....

I called my sil and told her to check out Toys r Us ....as she was purchasing them on the Q...and her store...in Michigan....had tons of them as well...

I say to that...if you want those dolls...check out your local Toy r Us....then you will be sure to get them in time for Christmas and no shipping and handling...

The movie is so bad they are going to have a sequel ""Frozen two"" which will come out sometime in 2015! I loved the movie when I saw it with my daughters and my nieces and nephews. So for the people here that did not like it you better take cover.....

One of my grand-nieces is a 2 year old. She can sing every word from every song in Frozen. And she's happy to watch the movie every day, if mommy would let her! Many kids just LOVE this movie. I can see why QVC is pushing it. My niece was already having some difficulty in finding what she wanted from the Frozen theme…..until I pointed her to QVC.

While the movie was cute and charming.....I will say just one word that describes what is happening on QVC these days with the Frozen items and other merchandise ----OVERKILL!!!

Its a good movie but for a "Princess" film, The Little Mermaid and Brave are way better! IMHO

I think my all time favorite Disney Princess movie is Tangled...I have watched it a few times with my Granddaughter...its such fun...

I never got to watch Frozen all the way through...so I can't say much about it...other then I sure am tired of the song....Let it Go...probably because of the overkill on the Q. with the dolls....

I don't expect it to be my perfect cartoon

But I want my grand children to love it as much as my cartoons

They Love it !

That is all the answer that I need.

My grandmother may have hated today's classics.

Try to chill out, your time may have come and gone.

Acceptance is hard.

I admit I do not get it either, but it obviously sells well, so QVC would be stupid not to sell it.

It was a cute movie, but it doesn't compare with the Lion King or Toy Story (imo). "You've gotta friend in me...." "Hakuna Matata" I love those two theme songs

kids like different things. My 8 yr old granddaughter LOVES the Frozen dolls, and she "hates" video and computer games, so just like when we were young. I LOVED my Barbie dolls, my sister hated them.

I suspect it is nothing more than a (hopefully) money-making ploy by Disney, eagerly bought into by shopping channels and Toys 'R Us-type stores for a piece of the perceived financial pie. The retailers try hard to make moms, GMs, aunts, etc. believe that any and all little girls will be thrilled to pieces to have any and every Frozen products bought for them. I see it as just another manifestation of a very wrong turn the Disney company took after Walt died. He would turn over in his grave if he knew how all of the parks worldwide have become little more than venues for Disney-licensed merchandise.

I agree, We (her mom and I) ONLY get the dolls and maybe a T shirt for each movie. There is NO WAY I am completely redoing her bedset and her closet of clothes EVERY time a new movie comes out, But the dolls yes, She is mostly a stuffed animal girl, the only dolls she really like are SOME of the princess ons. Tangeled, Brave and now Frozen.

It was one of the few Disney movies I actually like, but like everything else, it gets so much overexposure until people get sick of it. "Let it go", exactly.

Oh my yes, why of course they'd be utter morons not to sell something that flies out the door... Volume sales are truly all that really matters. Truly...
