To be fair - the version from the film is bearable... 

Happy earworms folks!

I have to say I like the film and I quite like that song (in its genre)
Interesting hearing the perspective of Mrs D and my 12 year old self proclaimed feminist daughter who say how good it is to have a film about strong girls doing their thing.

Yep.

That is pretty much on the mark for this household too.

The song is a pretty powerful anthem. It's almost a shame it has come out of the Disney stable, as that tarnishes it as a "commercial" product; when it is an emotive cry that resonates for a large number of people.

Waiting for a good, minor key, cover; with a strong, bluesy, female voice and minimal accompaniment, for my own preference....

Afraid I wasn't able to deconstruct the lyrics from the versions I heard ;)

the 3yo niece was gobsmacked by her flashing princess elsa dress though - which was lovely...

To be fair I'd rank the composers of 'lean on me' in the same irritated TT category after the 6yo nephew spent 3 solid days hammering out the base cords to varying degrees of success on the piano..

I've just not used to tuning out this stuff... I can work fine in a noisy coffee shop, ignore endless hours of wailing by the cat.. But not used to child induced noise.

In short I nominate myself for being a grumpy cunt :)

I first saw it a few weeks back-special singalong showing in the village hall. Have heard songs many times before, usually from daughter's dvd player...

Pleased that unlike just about every previous Disney princess, heroine doesn't have to wait passively to be rescued by the prince.

Independent, female, non-romantic love saves the day-  miles better subtext for little girls. Much healthier.

Hasn't exactly hit tgeir bottom line either, Disney is catching up the 21st century at last.

Agree.

Have you seen "Malificent"?

Isn't Maleficent the evil spinning-wheel wielding step-mum/witch in Sleeping Beauty?

Yep.

But the new re-telling (which is really Gaiman/Pratchet -esque) seeks to explain why she had a grudge with King Stephan...

It redefines "true loves first kiss".

The prince is a useless adjunct.

The Raven acts as Malificent's conscience.

The King is manipulative, greedy and vain.

Altogether, a more satisfying tale.

Hell hath no fury like Angelina Jolie, with prothetic cheekbones and a serious set of horns...

I've got 2 daughters, So I love Frozen, although not as much as them.
malificent has Angelina Jolie dressed up as a slightly evil, naughty fairy...wasn't aware of anything else but that, did it have a plot? Prince? Raven? The 3 times I've seen it i was slightly distracted by Angelina Jolie, did I mention she's dressed up as a slightly evil, naughty fairy?

Stupid cvnts who complain on social media about other stupid cvnts on social media (and yes, I'm aware of the risks of making this statement)

A prime example.

Why don't the police tell the to all fuck of an stop wasting police time?

Human rights and common sense aside though, Katie Hopkins should be convicted of something and executed.

No point in wasting the time of either the Police or Courts.



Just skip straight to the execution.
