22 December 2014

Mumbai, December 22, 2014: After eleven months of hard work and toil every year, it’s the one day that’s dedicated to that one aspect of our lives that makes it worth every ounce of hardship – our loved ones. Christmas is around the corner and it’s time to snuggle in with your family and cherish every moment we spent together.

The Star Movies family wants to reach out to its extended family – its viewers – and give them one more reason to stay home and share the joy of the season with their Christmas special premiere of Frozen on 25th December at 1pm and 9pm.

Widely acknowledged as Disney’s best animated feature film, this movie narrates the story of a fearless princess who sets off on an epic journey alongside a brave young man, his loyal pet reindeer and a cuddly snowman to find her estranged sister, whose icy powers have accidentally trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter!

The 2013 blockbuster release is the highest grossing animated and musical film of all time, grossing $1.2 billion worldwide and is a phenomenon across the globe with children and adults alike falling in love with the characters and the music in the film. With screenplay written by Jennifer Lee and both Chris Buck and Lee serving as directors, this story is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale ‘The Snow Queen’. It won two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. The Oscar-winning song ‘Let it Go’ from the film has inspired scores of cover videos.

Christmas is incomplete without gifts! Star Movies wants to share the joy with its viewers and followers with a Christmas tree that’s decked with a lot of gifts. But the only problem is that Elsa has accidently frozen over all the gifts on the Star Movies Christmas tree. This means, it’s time for the fans and followers of Star Movies to unfreeze their gifts to claim them as their own.

This is especially for the viewers on the Star Movies Facebook and Twitter pages, where they can pick a gift from the Star Movies Christmas Tree and in order to claim it, they will have to tweet to @StarMoviesIndia with #frozenonstarmovies and tag the gift they want. The person with the most tweets for a particular gift will unfreeze it and take it home.

So get into the holiday mood with Star Movies and let the spirit of Christmas wash you over with joy and happiness as you spend quality time with your family and Frozen on Star Movies at 1pm and 9pm on December 25.
