Move over, professional film critics; there is a new cinema enthusiast in town, and she has four paws, a wagging tail, and a serious love for Disney.
Penelopii Riggs, a beautiful Siberian Husky, has recently taken the internet by storm after her owner, @penelopii.pirouettes, shared a video of her watching the classic movie Frozen.
While many dogs might bark at the TV or ignore it entirely, Penelopii demonstrates a level of focus that suggests she isn’t just watching the flashing lights—she’s following the plot.
The viral clip captures Penelopii sitting comfortably on a bed, her eyes locked onto the screen with unwavering intensity.
The specific scene playing is one of the film’s most high-stakes moments: Anna and Kristoff’s harrowing attempt to escape a pack of hungry wolves.
As the tension in the movie builds and the characters face a perilous cliffside chase, Penelopii’s reaction mirrors that of a human viewer on the edge of their seat.
Her eyes widen in genuine concern, her ears twitch with every sound effect, and her face shifts through a range of emotions that range from shock to pure amazement.
What makes the video so special is how Penelopii seems to react to the nuances of the storytelling.
At one point, her mouth drops open in what looks like genuine disbelief as Kristoff nearly falls from the cliff.
It’s a moment of peak “baby-brain” focus that has left thousands of viewers convinced that she truly understands the drama unfolding on the screen.
Her owner jokingly captioned the post, “‘FROZEN’ is an amazing movie,” but based on Penelopii’s face, she clearly thinks it’s an Oscar-worthy masterpiece.
The internet’s reaction was instantaneous, with thousands of fans gushing over the Husky’s adorable cinematic passion.
One viewer noted, “His facial expressions are the best,” while another admitted they’d love to organize a movie night specifically with her.
Some commenters pointed out the natural connection between a Husky—a breed famous for its history in snowy, arctic environments—and a movie that is literally titled Frozen.
One user joked, “She’s frozen too,” referring to the dog’s absolute stillness as she watched the blizzard-filled scenes.
Huskies are well-known for being one of the most expressive and vocal breeds in the dog world, and Penelopii Riggs is a perfect ambassador for that reputation.
Her deep connection to the story of Elsa and Anna suggests that dogs might perceive much more of our media than we give them credit for.
Whether it’s the bright colors, the sweeping music, or the familiar snowy landscapes, Penelopii was clearly “team Olaf” from the start.
If Penelopii’s reaction to the first film is any indication, she is more than ready for a sequel marathon.
This adorable encounter serves as a heartwarming reminder of the joy our pets bring into even the most ordinary activities, like sitting down to watch a movie.
For Penelopii, life isn’t just about naps and walks; it’s about the drama of Arendelle and the magic of Disney.
She is officially Frozen’s biggest (and fluffiest) fan.
