Recently, and by recently I mean earlier today, the main creators of Frozen – directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, producer Peter del Vecho, and song writers Bobby Lopez and Kristen Anderson Lopez – sat down with the users of Reddit to answer fans’ questions.

And finally…Chris and Jennifer broke the fandom.
So like…they were going to see…
