You’d think the woman behind the most successful animated film of all time would be thrilled that kids are still so enchanted by it more than a year later. But Jennifer Lee, the director of Frozen, says she now finds herself apologizing to parents whose kids are still obsessed with the film and its Oscar-winning song “Let It Go.”
“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!'”
The popular anthem was sung by Idina Menzel in the film and went on to be a worldwide hit, breaking the top ten in numerous charts including the Billboard Hot 100.
