Entertaining the younger crowd this holiday season

'Tis the season for children to celebrate being a kid and witness adults acting like children.

It's been six years since Elsa and her sister Anna grew to massive popularity with the Disney cartoon Frozen. Since then, many fans have grown up and some now have children of their own to entertain with Frozen 2. The writers have had plenty of time to make a worthy successor to the red hot franchise. Unfortunately, the humor and songs have not improved in the sequel. Idina Menzel is a musical icon and deserves better material. Her voice has never quite matched up for me with the drawing onscreen, but I can let that go.

The movie is made for young kids who will most likely enjoy it, but the adults who accompany them might feel a little burned.

Locally, there's a new show called Eleanor's Very Merry Christmas Wish-The Musical debuting at the Greenhouse Theater Center. The 65 minute musical is based on a book by Denise McGowan Tracy who opted to not have a typical villian and instead embraced a feel good story about a rag doll named Eleanor who lives in a magical world.

If you have not seen Tracy's Monday Night Live cabaret show at Petterino's yet, start making plans for the New Year. Audiences have until Dec. 29 to see Eleanor and with any luck sequels will come to life in the series just like Frozen.

Many kids and adults are fascinated with SpongeBob Squarepants including reggaeton sensation J Balvin and local artist Louis de Guzman, who have teamed up to create a pop up at 1714 N. Damen Ave. Fans were able to experience the art, clothing and furniture in the space up close.

Many generations of children grew up with the show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and we have the new movie A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood to celebrate his legacy.

The story is actually about a reporter interviewing Fred Rogers for a magazine. The journalist played by Matthew Rhys has anger issues and needs a dose of kindness from Rogers thanks to Tom Hanks' portrayal of the icon.

First see the documnetary Won't You Be My Neighbor? then watch this film and think about how we can each be better adults out in the world today. After the holiday season, we can all grow up!
