"Ten years ago a musical phenomenon hit our screens, one which captured the
hearts of a large and diverse audience and whose songs have already become
classics. The 2013 film
Frozen is now widely recognised as one of the most
memorable and loved Disney animated films, whether measured economically or by
popular critical reception.
Frozen’s revision of the Disney Princess genre clearly resonated with
audiences of all ages. Its message of empowerment and self-determination spoke
to present day concerns about gender, sexuality and identity. Music was central
to communicating these ideas, especially the showstopping song
Let It Go.
A large part of that musical appeal has been singalongs, inviting audiences to
go beyond watching and listening to interactively participating. The popularity
of
Frozen singalongs might be assumed to be a new phenomenon in cinema
spectatorship and consumption. However, they continue a century-long tradition
of cinema singing that has been forgotten."
