My 3yo DD hasn't seen it. We've been sticking with the movies that we already owned or that are on Netflix. I'm not sure I could drag her away from the Tinkerbell movies long enough to watch Frozen.

I have two girls, 7 and 10. None of us have seen Frozen. They know the Let It Go song.

We are a non-Disney family.

This is kind of inspirational. Having our first in January, and I don't like kids movies very much, and never really have (when I was a kid I watched a lot of 1960s musicals). A lot of people's reactions to this are along the lines of "when you have kids you have zero control, learn to adapt". I get and agree with this to a certain extent. I will have to be flexible and allow them to explore what they want. That said, I hate this whole "kids will rule the roost and become Disney-obsessed and you don't get to object" approach.

She's definitely been excluded from play at her school because of not seeing it and I feel a bit bad.

At that age we watch movies in bits and pieces and fast forward through the "scary" bits. I don't know that my preschool aged DDs have ever seen a COMPLETE movie, but they have seen enough of many kids movies -- including Frozen -- to get the basic idea of many of the plots and characters.

As a compromise for your DD, would she be able to handle the audiobook as a read aloud with you during the day? Many times books are much less intimidating and frightening than the corresponding scenes in movies. Or what about having her just listen to the songs on Youtube? You can tell her the basic plotline of the movie, and just fill in with the songs at appropriate points. That's the part most young girls seem to care about/talk about/sing constantly anyway.

I've never seen it. But I also never watched "West Wing," "Sex and the City," "The Wire," "Breaking Bad" and haven't been to a theater in years.

I have three boys under the age of 6, and we've never seen Frozen despite me trying to get the boys to watch it. They have zero interest in the movie, likely because my oldest has declared it a "girly princess movie" so the next oldest doesn't want to see if either. No idea why the oldest is so anti-Frozen, but he refuses to watch it.

Aw, how sweet, OP. Do you want a cookie? Or a medal?

When I only had a 2-year old we hadn't seen any movies. Frozen came out when my daughter was 5, so yes, we have seen it but it was really just a matter of timing.

Ha, we haven't had the ability to sit still through ANY movie yet, with 5 and 2 YO boys. The older one is familiar with the characters, but not much beyond that.

Where do people watching this hundreds of times find the time?!

I have a two-year-old and she's never seen a movie. Frankly, I doubt she would sit still that long, even if I was going to let her.

And while I love Disney movies, they can be quite intense, so I plan to hold off on them until my kid is old enough to understand real v. pretend.

There's a murderous love interest (prince from another kingdom who woos princess Ana) and while a young kid may not pick up on that, I'd probably wait until your kid is a bit older. I think his character is meant to give a reality check on other princes & the immediate, love at first sight stories you get in other Disney movies. Several of the characters express shock and concern that Ana would get engaged to a guy she just met, so that not so subtle - hey, you don't even know this guy! - message may be more useful for a kid who's seen all the other Disney movies and needs a reality check that real love isn't instantaneous.

We haven't seen it, kids 4.5, 3, and 1.5.

We do very limited screen time, and the last, still incomplete movie the older two watched was "The Muppet Movie."

My oldest didn't see it until about a month ago. He is 5. So he missed most of the original craze.

It's actually pretty decent. The music is great. There's no Badge of Honor for having seen it or not seen it. Who cares. My DS wasn't interested before. Then he was. So we showed it to him.
