America is facing a serious problem: “Frozen” is slowly but surely taking over the country.

Luckily, Cal High students are rallying against this dark, looming force. Most students can recognize the truth about this wintery Disney film.

“It was just insanely boring,” said senior Wes White.

No one is sure how the “Frozen” epidemic began. It started out as just another Disney movie. Now students can’t set foot outside their homes without being bombarded by hordes of young children belting out an off-key version of “Love is an Open Door.”

The Elsa doll has become so popular that some store owners have limited buyers to one doll per person. Stores are practically overflowing with “Frozen” merchandise: backpacks, toothbrushes, anything one could possibly imagine.

It’s even been confirmed that “Frozen” will be made into a Broadway musical.

It’s not just children being brainwashed by Anna and Elsa. For some reason film critics give excessive amounts of praise to this film.

Somehow, “Frozen” has won not only one, but two Academy Awards. Some adults in the film industry are even claiming that frozen is the best Disney movie of all time.

Very few movies have ever garnered this much attention. So with all this hype, one question naturally arises: Is “Frozen” worthy of this unprecedented level of obsession?

The simple answer is no, not at all.

Americans have been brainwashed into thinking this movie was a masterpiece by Olaf’s snowy charm. But the truth of the matter is that “Frozen” is a completely mediocre film.

“I mean, it was an alright movie, I guess,” said junior Allison Morgan. “Honestly, I didn’t think much of it.”

Sure, it’s a cute enough movie, but the storyline is nothing new or revolutionary.

“I was expecting a lot more out of it,” said junior Fatima Khan. “I think ‘Frozen’ was just really over-hyped.”

As if the film hadn’t been shoved down our throats enough, the soundtrack has been overplayed to death.

It’s in stores, commercials, and the radio. Nowhere is safe from the pitchy voices of Anna, Elsa, and their “Frozen” friends.

We’re all getting tired of hearing these same songs 5,000 times. No one wants to build a snowman with you. Just stop.

One song, though, triumphs above all the others in earning the title of Most Overplayed Song of 2014.

“I’m so tired of the song ‘Let It Go’ now,” said senior Jason Sawdey. “The whole soundtrack was just way overrated.”

And just when it seemed matters couldn’t get worse, a Frozen sequel has been confirmed.

Of all the pointless sequels students have had to endure over the years, this might be one of the worst ones yet.

This news of a sequel means that in a couple of years America will be subjected to the same torture all over again.

“I lost all hope in humanity when I heard they were making a sequel,” said White.

Some students have protected themselves from “Frozen” fever by avoiding the film altogether.

“I have not watched ‘Frozen and I don’t want to because I’m not a loser,” said senior Jacob Buckle. “I feel sorry for anyone who goes to see the sequel.”

Hopefully, Disney will come out with a new movie that puts “Frozen” back in its place. One that brings back memories of the funny,heartfelt Disney movies of our childhood like “The Lion King” or “The Little Mermaid.”

Until then, we’ll just have to hope that someday the “Frozen” fans will finally “Let It Go.”
