Hundreds of children were evacuated from an exclusive screening of Frozen 2 in Camberwell today.

“We were watching the movie, and it was getting to a really good part, when suddenly, it stopped,” Michelle Stute, of Kew, said.

“We sat in the dark for a few seconds, then a fire alarm went off, and we were told to evacuate.”

She said the crowd, which comprised mainly of kids, some dressed as the film’s main characters Anna and Elsa, left the Rivoli Cinema in a calm and orderly fashion.

The incident happened at 4.07pm and was deemed by MFB to be a false alarm, it is not known what set the alarm off.

TV star and comedian Dave Hughes who attended the screening with his children, took to Instagram just after fire crews arrived..

“We survived an actual fire at premiere of Frozen 2. Rivoli Cinema in Camberwell evacuated in an orderly fashion,” he wrote.

“Smelt smoke but didn’t see flames. Girls say it was at vital moment of movie. They are eating popcorn in the car now.”

The film has been credited as repositioning the Disney princess into a modern day independent woman, and not reliant on a charming prince.
