Crying kids, fistfights, and lies about terminally ill children have become the norm at the Disney Store in New York City's Times Square, thanks to a global shortage of merchandise from the hit animated musical "Frozen."
The New York Post reports that the store has received countless requests for "Frozen"-related items -- Elsa and Anna dolls and replicas of the characters' costumes are the hottest commodities -- but is currently almost completely out of stock of all merchandise from the film. Customers that come in looking for specific items leave disappointed, the Post reports, and that disappointment is inspiring some rather ridiculous behavior.
"People have gotten into physical fights in the morning," one Disney Store employee told the paper. "The kids cry, but the parents are the problem. They try to guilt us, say their daughters are sick. They have no shame. But I can't make it magically appear!

Battle Of The Pacific
Stars: Sean McGowan, Daniel Baldwin, Treat Williams, Matthew R. Anderson, Yutaka Takenouchi | Written by Takuya Nishioka, Gregory Marquette, Cellin Gluck | Directed by Hideyuki Hirayama
Four months after the hostilities of WWII officially ceased, Capt. Sakae Oba (aka The Fox) and a loyalist band of Japanese soldiers entrenched themselves on Mt. Tapochau and continued fighting a guerrilla campaign. Meanwhile, a U.S. officer, determined to flush out him out of his mountain hideaway, sets about his seemingly simple objective. Strengthened by several hundred civilians who refuse to enter camps or follow suicide directives, Oba and his people fight on, unable to come to terms with an unthinkable defeat.
Much like Clint Eastwood’s Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima, Battle of the Pacific is a war movie told from the perspective of both sides of the battle – in this case the Japanese and the American’s.
