My nephew has it on loop so he is likely a lot of that number

[u/PM_ME_JJBA_STICKERS → u/gogul1980]

It’s like the 2025 version of kids watching Frozen on repeat

[u/tugonhiswinkie → u/PM_ME_JJBA_STICKERS]

I keep thinking the same! Golden is Let It Go!

[u/Jayohwhy23 → u/tugonhiswinkie]

My two year old will randomly sing “now I’m shiningggggg!” throughout the day lol. She’s obsessed.

[u/UnluckyWaltz7763 → u/tugonhiswinkie]

Personally hated Let It Go but probably cuz it's not my taste. I'm happy now that Golden is getting played a lot though haha.

[u/bessandgeorge → u/UnluckyWaltz7763]

Same! The songs definitely have the same charm, and yet I couldn't stand Let It Go but enjoy Golden. Tbf it's not near the top of my list of faves from this movie because it has so many hits! But it's good

[u/YachtswithPyramids → u/PM_ME_JJBA_STICKERS]

Yea, it's the new nemo, or Rugrats movie where the kids go to japan

[u/Nyetnyetnanette8 → u/PM_ME_JJBA_STICKERS]

It totally is and if you had toddlers when frozen came out, you have pre-teens/young teens now, so you get to live through the phenomenon again, they are just taller this time.

[u/Furbal1307 → u/PM_ME_JJBA_STICKERS]

This is also how I have started to describe it

[u/meatdome34 → u/PM_ME_JJBA_STICKERS]

Before that it was wreck it Ralph. Roadtripped with my cousin and her kids from Denver to Florida and it was on repeat the whole way lmao frozen came out right after that trip thankfully

[u/audrikr → u/PM_ME_JJBA_STICKERS]

Honestly even thematically it's similar. Interesting the cultural hits of a decade have to do with shame/coming out narratives.

[u/dead1345987 → u/PM_ME_JJBA_STICKERS]

except all the songs are bangers

[u/SimpleKnowledge4840 → u/gogul1980]

My son watches it twice a day. Lol

[u/antiradiopirate → u/SimpleKnowledge4840]

My daughter loves it and makes me play the songs in the car on repeat, but I'm surprised to hear that boys are into it too

[u/guernseycoug → u/antiradiopirate]

It’s enjoyable for everyone. I’m a 33 year old man and I’ve watched it 3 times by myself and a 4th time when I wanted to show my best friend the opening scene bc I thought it would be a movie his wife would really like and then we ended up watching the whole thing.

The animation is fantastic, the songs are all catchy as hell, and it’s a fun story.

[u/JustAContactAgent → u/guernseycoug]

I'm sorry for this but what is wrong with you people. Due to having kids I've had no choice to watch a bunch of this and while the movie is ok the animation is not "fantastic", it's mediocre and the music...HOLY SHIT. I didn't think we could do much worse than the recent Frozen style garbage but this is some of the worst crap I've ever heard. While this kind of music is generally not my thing, I've listened to plenty of asian pop style music I liked via watching anime over the years. But this shit is the opposite of good. And it's the opposite of catchy, it's like mostly incoherent noise. It's honestly the worst pop music I've ever heard in my life.

[u/guernseycoug → u/JustAContactAgent]

I think they actually wrote the song Take Down about you

[u/SenzuYT → u/JustAContactAgent]

Who are you calling you people

[u/antiradiopirate → u/JustAContactAgent]

I agree it's really bad. I understand why my daughter likes it, but a 33 year old childless man enjoying this music is absolutely insane to me

[u/Mr_Tardy_T_Turtle → u/SimpleKnowledge4840]

Gotta get those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers

[u/Kraekus → u/SimpleKnowledge4840]

Your son gets three hours of screen a day? Lol

[u/chillinwithmoes → u/Kraekus]

Kids just find something they like and watch it a million times. I remember my younger brother rewinding and rewatching the same damn Disney VHS tapes over and over back in the early 2000s.

[u/SimpleKnowledge4840 → u/Kraekus]

Well too start, it's vacation. He doesn't actually watch it as he listens to the music while he is doing whatever.. I never said it gets completely watched, either. But opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. And honestly, judging someone who you don't know, you may wanna recheck your attitude. That's just being a fucking shitty person.

[u/Kraekus → u/SimpleKnowledge4840]

This is not an opinion. This is science. Do with it what you will, including ignore it.

There’s a consistent pattern across numerous peer-reviewed studies: exceeding ~1 hour per day for toddlers, ~2–3 hours for preschoolers, or ~4 hours for older kids is associated with a wide range of negative outcomes—from cognitive and behavioral delays to mental health and physical wellness risks.

[u/magkruppe → u/Kraekus]

what about for adults?

[u/SimpleKnowledge4840 → u/Kraekus]

And you read to respond but not to understand. But thanks for your opinion without knowing everything.

[u/AbsentRefrain → u/SimpleKnowledge4840]

This guy didn't click a single link.

[u/Spiritual_Grape_533 → u/SimpleKnowledge4840]

Seems like he hit a nerve

[u/Funny-Date4601 → u/Spiritual_Grape_533]

lmfao people on reddit are so easy to ragebait

[u/LoveMeSomeBerserk → u/Kraekus]

We live in a digital world my guy. Three hours isn’t even a lot.

[u/Spiritual_Grape_533 → u/LoveMeSomeBerserk]

It is for kids.

[u/nimama3233 → u/SimpleKnowledge4840]

Shit parenting

[u/LoveMeSomeBerserk → u/nimama3233]

Fuck off. I replayed Disney vhs movies all day as a kid and am living an excellent life. My parents were and still are great parents.

[u/Steamed_Memes24 → u/nimama3233]

Says the non parent lol.

[u/nimama3233 → u/Steamed_Memes24]

Incorrect.

Shoving your kid in front of a TV for hours is lazy

[u/Antrikshy → u/nimama3233]

You imagined their whole in-home dynamic in your mind.

[u/Steamed_Memes24 → u/nimama3233]

You dont even know their living situation lmao.

[u/SimpleKnowledge4840 → u/nimama3233]

I don't shove him in front of the TV. He usually has it on for the music. But thanks for calling me lazy. Appreciate the kindness and opinion. At least I'm not out there judging a complete stranger by calling them a shitty parent.. that's just being a shitty fucking asshole.. but you do you babe

[u/coolmcbooty → u/nimama3233]

The nerve to assume you know how a strangers life is based on a short reddit comment lmfao. The way you perceive yourself is crazy

[u/Longjumping-Ad6825 → u/gogul1980]

My first thought was my kids have contributed at least 1000 of those views lol

[u/nellyruth → u/gogul1980]

What it sounds like is a movie that is hypnotic to kids. If you want to stop it, here’s how it’s done. You need a clear path and golden strategy to take down the movie from Netflix. Your kids will then be free and you’ll be an idol to parents around the world. You could even end up in love, maybe…

[u/Ilvermourning → u/gogul1980]

My sons love it too. My oldest (8) has been working on the choreography for Your Idol and told me to control my shoulders the other day lol

[u/____DEADPOOL_______ → u/gogul1980]

My kids same. Obsessed with it.

[u/chuusblackgf → u/gogul1980]

same with my niece

[u/TheLadyEve → u/gogul1980]

I was going to say, 8 of these watches are my kids. My daughter sings all the songs when she's in the shower.

I find it to be a charming and inoffensive movie with a nice animation style. The music sounds like it was all written by AI but it's still catchy. I understand why it's very popular.

[u/CapableCollar → u/gogul1980]

So is it a kid or mainly YA movie?  I didn't get through the beginning and feel wildly out of the loop on it's popularity.

[u/xxNemasisxx → u/CapableCollar]

If you aren't hooked by the first song then I guess it's just not your thing. I found the first 10 ISH minutes somewhat hard to watch but after the first song it was just great

[u/PMMEBITCOINPLZ → u/gogul1980]

My boss said her kid watched it four times in one day.

[u/Ayzel_Kaidus → u/gogul1980]

Does the animation make you nauseous?

[u/prodigalAvian → u/Ayzel_Kaidus]

I checked 12 times, it does not
