Metaphor in Context
Idina Menzel's rendition of what has become the movie's anthem, "Let it Go," is a phenomenon unto itself, producing a level of passion and exuberance in children the likes of which some parents have never seen. I have been sent videos from friends who have captured the moment their children become possessed by the film's song. One video featured Nora MacDonald, 3, of Sandwich, Mass., gently bouncing on a mini-trampoline in her gym class when "Let It Go" came over the speakers. Instantly infused with utter delight, she took off sprinting, almost flying, in ecstatic circles around the perimeter of the room.
"It was like jump-starting a car, connecting little bits of her brain that fire every system at once," said her father, Jamie MacDonald.
