If you are the parent, aunty, godfather or babycino maker of a small person there is a very good chance that you have heard the song from the phenomenally successful animated film Frozen, “Let it Go”.
Likely you have heard it more than once, with lots of emphatic foot stamping and pleading for a long princess wig. And try as you might, you haven’t been able to get that ear worm of a catchy song out of your head. For the past year.
And for that Jennifer Lee, the director of the film – now the highest grossing animated film of all time – is sorry.
“A year ago, I’d meet people who, when they found out who I was, they’d say, ‘Oh, we love the songs! We sing them all the time,'” Lee told The Hollywood Reporter.
“Now they’re like, ‘Yep, we’re still listening to those songs.’ I’ve gone from, ‘Thank you,’ to, ‘Sorry!”
Not that Lee’s apology is likely to stop the eternal sing-a-long. The new trailer for the sixth and final season of high school musical series Glee features Lea Michele as diva Richel Berry belting out Let It go.
Meanwhile there have been rumours of a sequel to the film, and all-out brawls among parents desperate to secure quickly selling out Frozen dolls and merchandise for their Frozen-mad children this Christmas.
