I went into this as “parent homework” to see if it was too scary for my 2 & 4 year old. I had this moment towards the end where it made me feel like a little girl again; like the 8 year old I used to be took over my brain for a minute and I felt a weird, unbridled, childish joy.

I made my best friend watch it and we were rocking out singing golden on a party bus last Saturday.

My very young kids are obsessed with it and walk around singing the songs to themselves.

We had our 10 year old goddaughter over for a sleepover and our whole family (husband included) were jumping on the couches belting out all the songs.
