Frozen Audience Full of Kids Sees Explicit Sex Scene By Accident at Theater (VIDEO)
Truth rating: 10
2:04 pm, December 2nd, 2013
Frozen is doing phenomenal business at the box office, but some moviegoers in Florida got more than they bargained for: an explicit sex scene.
Parents who had taken their children to see the animated Disney film at the Regal Cinemas Park Place Stadium 16 in Pinellas Park were stunned when a graphic two-minute clip from another movie began playing before Frozen began.
According to FOX 13, there had been technical difficulties at the screening that delayed the start of the movie, so Regal Cinemas temporarily showed a different cartoon.
Trouble ensued.
“They put in the filler, it looked like ‘Steamboat Willie,’ the old Mickey Mouse cartoon, and then all of a sudden it goes into this other scene,” said a woman who had brought her grandchildren to see Frozen.
She added, “It seemed like forever when you’re trying to, you know, cover a little guy’s eyes. I didn’t have enough hands to cover his ears too and he got the sound down real good.”
The theater offered the audience free movie tickets in response to the snafu.

It's happened again...
quote: The Independent
Children waiting to watch Disney movie Frozen were shown explicit sex scenes when the trailer for Lars von Trier’s x-rated Nymphomaniac was screened by mistake in a US cinema.
Parents in the audience were forced to distract and shield their children in a reportedly frantic effort to prevent a barrage of awkward questions.
“It seemed like forever when you’re trying to, you know, cover a little guy’s eyes,” grandmother Lynn Green told Fox news. “I didn’t have enough hands to cover his ears too and he got the sound down real good.”
Those affected expressed concern about a lack of safeguards to stop similar errors happening in future. “You’re talking, what, a PG-rated movie to all of a sudden have an R-rated scene up there for little children?” Green added.
Temporarily banned from YouTube for its overtly sexual content, the trailer shows Shia LaBeouf and Stacy Martin engaging in various sex acts amid a montage of often violent scenes.
Critics have called it one of the most explicit trailers ever to be shown in mainstream cinemas.
The Pinellas Park cinema in Florida has offered free tickets to those affected and apologised for the accidental screening.
Last year, a Nottingham cinema sparked an outcry after it began screening 15-rated horror movie Paranormal Activity 4 to children as young as five instead of the family animation Madagascar 3. The children at Cineworld were shown a bloodied corpse hurtling towards the camera during the first two minutes of the supposed Madagascar screening.
Disney’s Frozen opened in US cinemas on Thanksgiving weekend, earning $93 million at the box office over the five-day holiday period. The film broke the record set by Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 2001 for the biggest Thanksgiving opening ever and also scored the largest for Walt Disney Studios.
Inspired by The Snow Queen fairytale, Frozen tells the story of a Scandinavian princess on a mission to find her sister, a queen who is unintentionally destroying their kingdom with the power to freeze anything she touches.
Nymphomaniac will debut in Copenhagen on Christmas Day before a likely general release in March in the UK next year.
The raunchy poster campaign, also directed by Danish Lars von Trier, shocked in October with its images of the cast pretending to reach sexual climax.
Uma Thurman and Jamie Bell are among the actors portraying orgasmic ecstasy to promote the film, which follows the erotic life of a woman from birth to the age of 50.
I wonder if this sort of thing is happening more with DCPs than it did with film? Perhaps the process of having physically to cut and splice ad and trailer reels to conform with the certificate of the feature they were being shown before promoted a greater importance on checking and double checking than clicking on menu items does.
