Last night I made the mistake of playing a clip from the movie Frozen to my kids on YouTube. They watched it on repeat for probably 15-20 minutes and of course I kind of totally enjoyed it the entire time. Because, quite frankly… it’s the best Disney movie ever and that’s saying a lot. I’ve seen a ton of Disney movies in my many years on this earth. This one tops them all. It has a great message, amazing music and if you happen to see it in 3-D… great effects. If you haven’t seen it yet, do it. Of course I’m seriously tempted to go and see it again in theaters before it’s released on DVD in March. I might be able to resist the urge if I just buy the soundtrack. Is it weird that a grown adult is this excited and in love with a PG (yep almost said G but I checked) rated movie?

In other movie news, we watched the Lone Ranger over the weekend. I was expecting something entirely different. It said intense action, violence and suggestive material. That made me assume it was more like a war movie than it was. I was fully expecting some boring western movie. Boy was I wrong. Typical Johnny Depp all around. If you love his movies, then you’ll enjoy this one.
