The announcement of Disney’s highly anticipated sequel to the beloved franchise is uniting parents and children in excitement – but it’s also stirring some apprehensions. Let’s take a closer look at why some of us are feeling a bit anxious about the upcoming release of Frozen 2.
1. Financial Strain
Prepare for another round of overwhelming merchandise. We’re talking about Frozen-themed dolls, juice boxes, books, and even underwear. The original film raked in an astonishing $1.274 billion at the box office, and we all know that translates into a significant financial commitment for parents. Honestly, Disney, just take my paycheck – we can negotiate terms later.
2. The Return of Earworms
Just when we thought we had finally moved on from “Let It Go,” here comes the sequel to reignite the obsession. Our kids have just started to tire of it, and now we’re faced with the prospect of more catchy tunes to haunt us. I can’t say I’m looking forward to discovering yet another Frozen song that will be stuck in my head for eternity.
3. Elsa Overload
Last Halloween, the sheer number of little girls dressed as Elsa was staggering. It was so pronounced that it inspired a drinking game among parents. Elsa’s costume was the most searched for that year, overshadowing other options. With more Frozen content on the way, I can only imagine the influx of blonde-wigged children we’ll see in the future.
4. Exhaustion from Constant Discussion
The cultural phenomenon of Frozen has dominated conversations for over a year and a half. We’ve seen countless parodies, sketches, and memes. With the release of the new short film and the sequel, it’s evident we’re in for at least another five years of this relentless fixation. I reached my breaking point when I found myself earnestly discussing theories about the characters’ backstories – it’s a slippery slope into madness!
5. Outdoor Activities? No, Thank You
When the inevitable question arises, “Do you want to build a snowman?” my answer is a resounding no. Winter is cold, and I have no desire to spend hours outside rolling snow. Let’s just stick to Frozen Monopoly instead – I’ll pour myself a drink while we play.
6. Playing Favorites
The amount of high-pitched voices I have to muster to play with my daughter is quite impressive. She always insists on being Elsa, which relegates me to the role of Anna. Even when she plays with her cousins, there’s a fierce competition over who gets to embody the more popular character. Poor Anna just wants her sister’s affection!
Despite these reservations, I know I will end up watching Frozen 2 multiple times. By the end, I’ll likely be able to recite the entire film from memory.
