How long is Frozen?
The feature runtime is 102 minutes, listed as 1 hour 42 minutes, according to IMDb Technical Specifications in the IMDb technical listing. That total covers story, songs, and credits. Plan viewing time as 1h42m plus time to settle in. For households, the length fits a standard family movie night. It is longer than a television special but shorter than many later animated epics.
Younger children can generally watch it in one sitting. The U.S. rating is PG for some action and mild rude humor. The U.K. rating is PG for mild threat. Parents may preview intense scenes involving ice powers, wolves, and a storm.
What plays during and after the credits?
The end credits use Demi Lovato's "Let It Go" end-credit version, listed at 3:47. It is separate from Idina Menzel's film performance as Elsa. Viewers who leave early miss this recording. A roughly 20-second post-credits stinger follows the main credits.
Snow monster Marshmallow survives the fall into the gorge. He returns to the empty ice palace, finds Elsa's discarded crown, and places it on his head. Stay through the scrolling credits to see both pieces. The song accompanies the main credit roll. The Marshmallow scene comes at the very end.
Which theatrical versions were released?
