This one makes sense if the parents are old enough to have used silver nitrate film. Really old film can, and will, just catch fire on on its own if it's even moderately hot and dry.

Not just for fire reasons.

Film expires over time, colours shift, and you get weird results. Freezing it slows that to a crawl.
