but look at the obama's by photographer cali's shall who has a friend at exclusive access. is best known as a wine bottle stopper but now it's being used to build. this week the film frozen to officially became the most successful animation film of all time it's a pos the 1st movie which was top of the box office list before but now frozen 2 has already taken 1300000000 dollars since its november release great news for disney but funnily enough not such good news for a small village in austria which has a serious problem with this success is why. in frozen the kingdom of erin dell is home to snow queen elsa and her sister. karen belles a place you won't find on any map or will you came to the stock safe.
6:46 pm
rumors are coursing through social media that erin dell is based on this place the village of dot in the austrian alps great advertisement for the town's tourism industry except it is already up to its eyeballs in tourists 10 years ago the village only got about 100 visitors a day last year it got 10000 a day outnumbering the locals 13 to one. year to make a dream come true because this is. the move to food you can't even walk through the village anymore you get pushed and biking is really dangerous. and now with disney fans adding to the mix the town's mayor says they've got enough tourists already thank you. is trying to put a cap on the number of visitors who journey here from around the globe. in frozen to elsa is on a. any of her room called by spirits to the dark sea that lies beyond her kingdom
6:47 pm
into the unknown. but travelers in search of erin del may not find known many tourists and start austria have already seen every corner of the tiny town on you guessed it instagram . the author of that report david levitz is with me now normally david there's a sense of pride when a town gets featured in a film for its beauty but this isn't the case well this is attention that the town of just doesn't really want or need anymore this is a town with a population of 780 people that last year had a 1000000 tourists come through there one main street that they've got. and so basically at this point the mayor is saying look it's not us it's he's trying to

deny that his town has anything to do with with frozen he says well this looks more like the ryan in austria to me in germany but you know there is a certain resemblance of the town with frozen you've got these mountains sort of these little speier e church that's even though disney's animators apparently did their research in norway not in austria but how he's the man he said he's going to put a cap on the torch has he going to do that so they're going to put a limit on the number of buses that can come to the town and that the buses will have to stay for longer because currently the tourists are in and out they don't even have time to buy a souvenir or a drink ok now this new movie seems to be the last role as you said as we saw the villages already overrun by tourists as well yeah and this is something that's developed really over the last decade even before frozen 2 came out particularly with east asian visitors there's something of a cult about this town of high. in east asian countries. town

featured on a south korean soap opera there's even in china a clone of this village that was built in the year 2012 near the southern city of. it's a a replica of the village complete with the town square their church and a lot of chinese people basically go there if they don't have the time or cash to visit the real in austria and now the hunt because of frozen but sort of well you know it's funny because the main character in frozen in the 1st movie she decides she wants to be alone in the 2nd movie she wants to be alone and now the people of austria just want to be alone but it's not going to have that side of the. forest in the movie looks like it would be but tentative body was david david as always thank you very much. the american photographer kathy shell was a friend of the obama's long before they into the white house she had access to

hampshire in january of 2008 it's the morning of the primaries. if you're on a bus driving down the back road in the past sure and they have 20 minutes together and then they'll go their separate ways and so they start reading the paper together and i love the fact that he's reading the paper and that one point she just relaxed completely and put her head next to his and then she just fell asleep and they just had this private little mom. called the obama they come as a team. here and we shall prepare some for what's to come this shot was taken just moments before obama took his oath. the 1st lady is always by his side she says biggest supporter and helps them stay grounded. and this is about the 12th or 13th. ball we've been to more in the news this elevator and i
6:52 pm
love elevators because nobody can wave and you can take pictures but he's telling her he's so proud of himself he says i'm so proud of myself because i never stepped on your dress not even once she just was pretty funny that's your biggest accomplishment today was the fact you didn't step on my dress that he said if. i could mess up this way but if i messed up or dressed i would have had no trouble. also captured the difficulty showing that there is a lonely side to being the president. obama is a person who is very good at taking bad news and kind of listening to there's a photograph where he's leaning back in a chair in the cabinet room. and they've just told him that the economy is 3 times worse than he ever thought it was and that no you're not going to be able to fix it he said so do you think we'll be able to fix this in
6:53 pm
a year and they know you can fix this for years. it's not a yeller he doesn't scream he doesn't throw fits he literally just pauses and just takes it all that his way of getting mad and the pressure is to just listen you know take it and reflect. obama always tries to say down to earth and close to the people he buys his own ice cream and shakes hands. washing the dishes doing normal things like to be portrayed as an ordinary relatable man a family man always surrounded by michelle and his daughters. needless to say that some of these moments are staged for the camera. nevertheless kelly shall manage to capture his absence and all these different facets of obama as the president and hospital father and simply
