The beauty of Frozen is the way in which it connects with younger individuals. The love within the story is about household and sisterhood and never a couple of man.

Individuals all the time ask if I get bored with singing Let It Go and I don’t, due to that connection. Having to sing that each night time is a reminder to myself to practise what I preach. That’s been the best reward to me.
