From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies The Parent Trap from 1961, and Frozen from 2013.
The Parent Trap is a 1961 American romantic comedy film written and directed by David Swift.
It stars Hayley Mills (in a dual role) as a pair of teenage twins plotting to reunite their divorced parents by switching places with each other.
Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith play the parents.
Although the plot is very close to that of the 1945 film Twice Blessed, The Parent Trap is based on the 1949 book Lisa and Lottie (German: Das doppelte Lottchen) by Erich Kästner.
Produced by Walt Disney Productions, The Parent Trap was released on 21 June 1961, by Buena Vista Distribution.
It grossed $25.1 million at the box office and was nominated for two Academy Awards.
It was broadcast on television, and three television sequels followed the later adventures of the twins.
The film was remade in 1998 with Lindsay Lohan.
It was released on VHS, in digital stereo LaserDisc format (1986), and on DVD (2002).

Frozen is a 2013 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures.
Produced by Peter Del Vecho, the film was directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee from a screenplay by Lee.
The directors co-wrote the story with Shane Morris, drawing inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen's " The Snow Queen".
It stars the voices of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad, Jonathan Groff, and Santino Fontana.
Frozen follows Princess Anna as she teams up with Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf to find her estranged sister Elsa, whose icy powers have inadvertently trapped their kingdom in eternal winter.
Thematically, it explores feminism and sisterly bonds over romance, challenging traditional gender norms and Disney fairytale conventions.
Development began after the film's executive producer John Lasseter, who was intrigued by Disney's earlier unsuccessful attempts to adapt "The Snow Queen", successfully persuaded Buck to join the project.
Buck wanted to explore a fresh perspective on true love rather than Disney's traditional prince and princess narrative.
The story underwent extensive rewriting and testing, leading to a final version that emphasized the bond between Anna and Elsa and the themes of love and sacrifice.
During animation and cinematography, the team used a careful blend of visuals and lighting to create realistic and appealing snow and ice among other elements.
Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez wrote the songs, and Christophe Beck composed the score.
Frozen premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on 19 November 2013, and went into its general theatrical release on 27 November.
It received generally positive reviews from critics and garnered many accolades, including the Best Original Song ("Let It Go") and Best Animated Feature at the 86th Academy Awards.
The film was a commercial success, earning $1.285 billion in worldwide box office revenue and becoming the highest-grossing film of the year, the highest-grossing animated film of all time, and the fifth highest-grossing film of all time during its theatrical run.
Frozen became a popular culture phenomenon with its songs, characters, storytelling elements, and appeal to a general audience.
The immense popularity inspired the creation of a franchise, which included an animated short in 2015, an animated featurette in 2017, and a feature-length sequel, Frozen II, in 2019.
