Let It Go

"Is this a programme for children?" my mother asked.

"It's Christmas Day," I said, "Everything is for children."

We watched Frozen together. Well, I watched it and she dozed. You've got to love it. If my grand daughters are going to grow up surrounded by corporate product then this is the sort of product I'd like the corporations to be turning out. Mostly it's mainstream Disney, but with a couple of twists that subvert the time-honoured narrative- and, of course, the heart of it is the song. That's what will last. That's what we take away with us.

I think it's rather intended for the average stupid masses. In the first place: The average stupid American because it's an American TV series.

I think this is a good point and probably correct except - I do not know ONE female who liked this program. But then, I am not your average stupid American nor do I have any average stupid American friends.

Well, liking maybe is a bit too much of the expectation. The shit's in the program and steals away the time for something else that could be aired instead. Plus, if you do some semi-promotion for it by what its actors do privately or what is scandalously displayed in the series - bang, you got your shit that's in everyone's brain even though he doesn't want to have it there. And something else instead isn't there which could be more useful for the intellect.
