poliphilo"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.

Date: 2016-12-28 08:54 pm (UTC)By a strange accident I ended up with my ex-husband's Disney kids' books after the divorce; I didn't even know they made that sort of books until we found them in my mother-in-law's attic! They weren't too bad, though, so I donated them to a charity that distributes Christmas donations and in the end I only had to take them to a house 1½ miles from here to deliver them to a single mother of 3... No wonder she could use 32 kid's books!!!
(Also, the "Let It Go" scene is quite beautifully made...)
