Frozen 2.
Amazing visuals, music even better than the first film, lots of funny moments from Josh Gad's Olaf, a bold, dramatic plot and some great messages, this is a film that will make a lot of money and be talked about for years.
Very dark in places for a family movie, lacked the charm, innocence and narrative simplicity of the original Frozen.
4 Snowmen out of 5.
Did you tear up a bit too? So emotional! I loved that this was darker than the first.

@Crucial what side?? I'm Disney princess all the way baby, and this was great, actually prefer this to the first. I didn't think I'd like the songs but know them all already, a bit more theatrical than the first soundtrack but I can carry them off.
I worked out that @Sparky was a Disney princess but for some reason thought you would be less girly.

A friend of mine let my daughter and hers watch YouTube one day (as that's what he daughter does constantly) and then litteraly every day for week after my child wanted to watch these barbie dolls acting out play with American accents and I took one look and said "no sorry youtube's broken". Whatever it was about it was addictive and I could see her eyes glaze over and its just mind numbing. Kids need to be PLAYING not watching videos of other kids playing!! I have a playlist of kids songs and educational videos that she can have on in the background and that's as far as YouTube goes.That Dance Monkey song is her favourite at the moment too everytime she hears it in the car we are doomed to a day of her singing it over and over.... Give me Elsa anyday

They have the most grinding voices too.. they have to shout and exaggerate everything they do, there’s some new FTC laws coming into action soon so fingers cross about 100% of those channels will disappear!

Looks like the disney movie about 'togo' the dog (relay to Nome - read about if you've never heard of it) movie will be a bit much for the boy, but I might watch it to put on the future list. I'll be interested to see how well they still to the history.
I will definitely watch that. Was lucky enough to be in Anchorage for the start of the Iditarod once. Was extremely cool, literally and figuratively.

My daughter loves that shit. To her credit she spends a lot of time playing with her dolls as well, and speaking in the obligatory american accent while she is doing it

Funny how kids go through viewing phases. My son and daughter used to love unwrapping videos where other kids or weird adults would unwrap 50 kinder surprises or something. It was total toy porn. Then he liked watching nerf gun battles kids v adults, now he is into watching guys playing fortnite and commentating themselves. He has moved into watching non cartoon Nickelodeon shows too which sometimes is okay because the chicks can be easy on the eye

Modern parenting baffles me.
You can actually control what your kids do. No way would I have put up with listening to endless kids songs while travelling in the car, let alone throwing them an iPad to keep themselves entertained.
Back in my day.........

Yea there is some absolute shit on YouTube...one my daughter watches sometimes is these 4 aussie kids, 3 girls and a boy, they play games but it's the shouting and annoying twang of the loudest one that does my head in.
TR jnr watches stuff about modifying cars...given his first car is gonna be our Suzuki Swift if we still have it, he is wasting his time 🤣

@taniwharugby you talking about the Norris Nuts by any chance?
-
@taniwharugby Uh huh. My 3 kids all watch them. They're actually 4 girls and a boy, and they have another kid on the way. Dad is an ex-Olympic swimmer.
And they make......
Wait for it..........
$4m p.a.!!!!!!!

@taniwharugby yeah the lad has some seriously rosy lips! I don't watch myself but it's a constant for all of my kids right now (so I get all the news) which is one positive I guess, less fighting!
