Disney Movies
“You look weird. Had a nightmare?” Atlanta writes on the paper with one hand, while the other shovels in one of the “pancakes” that I ended up making. I give her a shruggy look, while pretending to enjoy my own “pancake,” which has the unfortunate unpleasant aftertaste in it, similar to the “ice cream” that she bought for us yesterday.
She gives me a knowing glance, still.
“Want to watch a movie? Sort of a play recorded on video. Maybe it can cheer you up.”
A story. Well, it can be yet another distraction to be had. So I sign her a “Yes.”
Even before the “movie” begins, however, my heart already plummets lower.
The “movie” is titled “Frozen.”
And, as I watch the play unfold on the screen of Atlanta’s “TV,” I grow more and more uneasy instead of less.
The story features an ice-wielding princess. The princess fears her ice powers, and so do other people around her, including her parents. She is bidden to hide her powers, even when she is queen, and the stifled potential bursts out violently at one point because of it.
The play ends happily enough, but still!
