Frozen director is sorry your kids are still singing 'Let it Go'
A year ago, children everywhere began embracing the positive message of Frozen's "Let it Go." But perhaps it's possible to have too much of a good thing: Frozen director Jennifer Lee says she now finds herself apologizing to parents for getting their kids hooked on the song.
"A year ago, I'd meet people who, when they found out who I was, they'd say, 'Oh, we love the songs! We sing them all the time.' Now, they're like, 'Yep, we're still listening to those songs,'" Lee told The Hollywood Reporter. "I've gone from 'Thank you,' to 'Sorry!'"
Frozen is now the highest-grossing animated film of all time, and "Let it Go," sung by Idina Menzel, won an Oscar.
