They just cannot Let It Go!

A family from Middlesbrough have laid claim to being the biggest fans of Frozen, watching the Disney film an astounding 500 times.

Leigh Dryden and her sons Owen, four, Corey, two and Jay, aged one, are obsessed with the Disney movie, and it sometimes gets watched five times a day.

Ms Dryden, a former nursery nurse, stressed she does not simply sit the boys in front of the television for hours on end, and the children happily play, colour and go for days out.

But when they are at home, they love to have Frozen on in the background and they sing along to the hits like Do You Want To Build A Snowman and Let It Go.

She said the boys enjoy the storyline, particularly the frightening parts,which turns the traditional fairytale on its head by portraying strong femalecharacters.

Unlike some parents who have experienced the Frozen phenomenon for the past year, Ms Dryden has never yet got frustrated with the film.

She added: "I have never got tired of it yet, I just think it is fun for them and there's worse films. It does prove women can stand up for themselves."
