Frozen is breaking records and warming hearts all over the world. Star Josh Gad explains how this unlikely sister act ignored all the rules and rewrote Disney’s animation playbook.

By this point, you’ve either contributed to Frozen's $864 million global box office haul or you know someone who has. Chances are equally high you've heard the Oscar-nominated movie's omnipresent, and also Oscar-nominated, anthem, “Let It Go.” But has your heart been warmed by 300 children belting out the hook as fake snow fell from the ceilings and an Elsa stand-in twirled around a stage?
Well, that is exactly what happened on Feb. 2 when I attended a sold-out screening of the Frozen Sing-Along and joyfully joined the chorus of pint-sized singers overwhelmed by the truly magical moment Disney had created inside Los Angeles' El Capitan theater.
The unexpected extent to which Frozen has captivated the world's wee ones was indisputably on display every time the audience not only sang along with the words, but also the character's intonation.
When lil' Anna mumbled, “It doesn't have to be a snowman” through Elsa's keyhole, the crowd mumbled. When Anna sang with a chocolate-stuffed mouth, the crowd mimicked her insatiable sweet tooth. And when the aforementioned flurries fell during “Let It Go,” children actually wept with excitement.
So, why has Frozen struck such a chord with audiences? Star Josh Gad, who voices Olaf, has a theory.
