How many times have you seen your favourite film? Ten times maybe? Twenty at a stretch?

It’s probably not as many as this mum - who reckons Disney's blockbuster Frozen plays in her home four to five times a day.

And over a five-month period that roughly equates to an astonishing 600 screenings!

Leigh Dryden’s three boys have been in a Frozen frenzy since she bought the DVD for them in September.

The record-breaking animated film is now celebrating just over a year since its initial UK-wide release and is still currently number three in the official UK DVD charts.

The 26-year-old Middlesbrough mum to Owen, four, Corey, two, Jay, one, said: “When the film first came out everyone was raving about it but I thought ‘it’s a girl film, they won’t watch it’.

“But I think my mum showed them it and we’ve watched it every day since - four or five times a day.

“They might have a little play but when the songs come on they sit and watch it.

“And they still love it just as much.”

Leigh, who lives near St John’s Gate, in central Middlesbrough, says she’s tried to distract the boys and put on other films - but none of them match up.

And although she does get on with housework in quieter moments, the mum mostly joins in with them!

“They say ‘we want to watch Frozen!', she said. “They love the snow monster and the reindeer Sven.

“I normally busy myself around as it can keep them quiet while I’m getting the tidying done.”

Leigh added: “It’s just mad how it’s got them, especially with them being boys I think.

“I’m wanting to take them to the cinema to see it as they’ve never been.

“I think the obsession is going to keep going on and on to be honest.”

Things Leigh could have done instead in the same time that we’ve (very) crudely estimated at more than 1,000 hours or around 40 days...

Do you think you and your children have watched Frozen more times than Leigh's family?
