The movie begins with a crew of ice harvesters collecting ice from a frozen lake in the Scandinian mountains. Among them is an 8-year-old orphan boy named Kristoff, and his reindeer calf friend Sven, who try to emulate the harvesters, but their attempts are being fruitless until they successfully get an ice block. After collecting enough ice, the harvesters load it onto their sled and depart, headed for the city of Arendelle with Kristoff and Sven following the harvesters from behind.

The scene changes to a castle in the kingdom of Arendelle. That night, 5-year-old Princess Anna is restless, so she tries to wake up her 8-year-old sister Elsa to play. Elsa playfully brushes her sister off until Anna mischievously asks, "Do you want to build a snowman?", to which Elsa delightedly agrees.

The sisters run down to the ballroom and create a winter field of snow using Elsa's snow magic, enjoying their time with plenty of merriment. They build a snowman, who Elsa names Olaf, claiming "I like warm hugs!" The girls play gleefully with Olaf until Anna makes a leap as Elsa slips on the ice and the blast of power meant to create a pile of snow accidentally hits Anna in the head, knocking her unconscious and turning a streak of her hair platinum blonde. Their parents, King Agnarr and Queen Iduna rush in, responding to Elsa's cries of anguish. They check on Anna and she is cold to the touch. Agnarr and Iduna hastily load their daughters onto their horses and ride at full speed into the mountains.

As the royal family gallop their horses through the forests at full speed, they pass by Kristoff, who is still being dragged on his sled by Sven. He is intrigued by the trail of ice Elsa left behind by one of the horses, and follows it into an empty clearing that appears to only be populated by a large assortment of moss-covered boulders. From the edge of the clearing, Kristoff watches the royal family appear to ask the boulders for help. Suddenly, the boulders all begin to roll into a circle around the royal family, then unfold themselves, revealing themselves to be the trolls. In fact, the "boulder" that Kristoff is hiding behind is revealed to be another troll, Bulda, who takes Kristoff and Sven in after seeing they are cute (and in part because Sven licks her).

Grand Pabbie, the leader of the trolls, shows up and asks whether Elsa was born or cursed with her abilities. After being told she was born with them while they are growing stronger, Pabbie examines Anna and remarks that it is a good thing she was hit in the head, as a hit to the heart would he been fatal. He advises the family that it might be best to not he Elsa use her powers around Anna while he heals Anna and alters her memories, so she has no knowledge of her sister's powers to be safe, remembering only the fun they had. Pabbie warns Elsa that her powers will grow, and although they are beautiful, they'll be dangerous if she does not learn to control them, as fear will be her greatest enemy.

Subsequently, the castle is closed off to visitors, staffing is reduced to a minimum, and Elsa is ostracized from everyone, including Anna, in order to protect her from the world until she can learn to control her powers under Agnarr's orders, leing both sisters distraught and lonely. Despite Anna's best attempts, she is unable to rouse Elsa from her room. Their despair only escalates ten years after the accident, during their parents' departure on a diplomatic mission for two weeks, Agnarr and Iduna are killed when the ship they are on capsizes in a storm and is engulfed by a huge monstrous we. After attending the funeral of her parents alone, Anna goes again to Elsa's door, pleading for consolation from her only remaining family member. However, although Elsa sits sadly on the other side of the door, she refuses to communicate with Anna. Remaining separated at either side of the door, the sisters grieve from their parents' death.

"For the First Time in Forever"

Three years later, Elsa is about to be coronated as the Queen of Arendelle. People from across Europe are coming to visit, including the Duke of Weselton, who wants to run Arendelle's profits dry and is accompanied by his two bodyguards, and four dignitaries from around France, Germany, Ireland, and Spain. Nobody is more excited than Anna, as they are finally opening the gates to the kingdom. Anna is happy to see other people, and hopes for the possibility of meeting a special someone, while on the other hand, Elsa is still concerned about trying to control her powers and hide them from everyone.

As Anna strolls out onto the streets to the docks, a horse belonging to a charming and handsome visitor accidentally crashes into her, and she falls into a rowboat the horse stops from falling into the fjord nearby. The visitor apologizes, and introduces himself as Prince Hans of the Southern Isles. Though angered at first by the clumsiness of the stranger, Anna is attracted by Hans' appearance once she lays her eyes on him. She hurries off when she hears the church bells.

Elsa remains composed in the chapel during the coronation ceremony. The bishop reminds her to take off her gloves before she takes up her golden orb and scepter. Holding them with nervousness, she turns to face the crowd, but almost immediately, she sees the gold on the orb start to frost over. Elsa returns the orb and scepter hurriedly to the bishop once he finishes speaking his statement and puts her gloves back on, narrowly erting disaster.

At the coronation reception inside the ballroom, Elsa and Anna's steward Kai introduces the sisters to the guests. Anna's first friendly interaction with Elsa in years brings quite a delightful feeling to the princess, flustered at first, and seeing Elsa so happy instead of serious and reserved boosts Anna's confidence, prompting her to continue on with the conversation. They're interrupted afterwards by Kai introducing the Duke of Weselton, who offers Elsa her first dance as queen. Elsa politely declines the offer, but instead playfully volunteers Anna, much to the Duke's delight nonetheless, and the two head off into a comical dance scene. Elsa can't resist chuckling seeing Anna unpleasantly get through the Duke's over-the-top (and incredibly terrible) dancing skills. This causes Anna to feel just as whimsical about the entire matter, for seeing Elsa in such a state is a sight. Anna returns by Elsa's side afterward, commenting on how well things he been going through the day, and expresses her wishes to he things the way they were that night all the time. Elsa does agree though her smile, unfortunately, fades away, and she denies Anna's wishes all at once despite not being able to explain why.

"Love Is an Open Door"

Anna and Hans then sneak off to spend the evening together, quickly realizing the mutual attraction between them. The romantic dance eventually leads to an entire date, with the entire night of the young couple being spent bonding. Hans, during their time together, learns of Anna's longing of hing someone special in her life, with her sister, apparently developing a dislike of being around her by suddenly shutting Anna out one day when they were kids. Hans openly relates to this by mentioning three of his twelve older brothers, only furthering Anna's connection with him. He then promises to never shut Anna out, unlike Elsa, much to the Princess's absolute joy. They go out on a date throughout the kingdom as they fall more in love with each other.

By the end of their time together, Hans proposes to Anna right on the spot, which she immediately accepts. The couple heads back to the ballroom, where Anna asks for Elsa's blessing on the marriage. Elsa's baffled by the shocking news, but Anna and Hans couldn't appear more excited going on to ramble about the wedding arrangements. Elsa ceases the sudden rambling by denying the marriage, much to Anna's dismay. She asks to speak to Anna alone in private, likely so she can explain why it's not wise to marry someone she just met without causing a scene that would surely get her magical nature exposed, but Anna refuses any private conversation, stating whatever Elsa has to say can be said to both her and Hans. Elsa, becoming impatient and frustrated, outright forbids Anna of marrying someone she just met, indirectly telling Anna she knows nothing about true love. This remark causes Anna to angrily hiss back, telling Elsa that shutting people out is the only thing she's good at. Although Elsa is visibly hurt by this remark, she continues to refuse granting her blessing on the marriage, only to worsen the argument between the sisters when Elsa orders one of the guards to end the party early and close the gates, sending Anna off on a tirade at her sister, who now not only seems distant emotionally, but also seems intent on keeping her from obtaining happiness. Unable to contain her emotions from Anna pryingly questioning Elsa of her actions in shutting out everyone and what is she becoming afraid of, Elsa makes a violent swipe with her arm, causing a barrier of sharp icicles to appear, nearly striking Anna, Hans, the Duke of Weselton and some of the nearby guests. Shocked at her unexpected outburst and the way everyone responded, Elsa rushes out of the ballroom.

"Let It Go"

Panicking, Elsa flees with Anna in hot pursuit. As she bolts out the doors, she finds a huge crowd waiting for her at the courtyard. When a woman with her baby asks Elsa if she's all right, she feels frightened enough that she backs into an ornamental fountain and accidentally freezes it, thus revealing her powers to the crowd. The Duke of Weselton catches up to Elsa with his bodyguards and demands her to be stopped. Elsa pleads for them to stay away before another bolt of ice shoots from her ungloved hand in a panic, nearly hitting the three men. She continues to run away, sprinting across the waters of the fjord, her feet freezing the water, and vanishes into the woods on the other side of the fjord. Anna calls after Elsa, but as she, Hans, and the other guests watch, the waters of the fjord completely ice over and the air takes on an icy chill. Moments later, snow begins to fall. The Duke begins to panic, declaring they must take action and put an end to Elsa's curse. Anna, however, refuses and volunteers to seek out Elsa herself and make things right, saying that it is her fault for pushing Elsa too far. With Hans being left in charge of the kingdom, Anna heads off on her horse to begin her search for her sister.

Meanwhile, Elsa has found her way to a high precipice on the kingdom's North Mountain. It is where she realizes that far away from what she was taught, being on her own, she can begin to control her powers by letting them go. She constructs an elaborate ice palace, changes her confining wardrobe into a shimmering ice dress, and vows to stay in seclusion, where she feels she can be herself, and harm no one else.

Anna meets Kristoff.

The next day, Anna is seen treling slowly through knee-deep snow on horseback. Anna loses her horse after it gets spooked by snow falling from a tree. She trels on foot until nightfall. By the following evening, Anna is griping that she wishes Elsa had tropical powers instead of ice powers and is relieved upon finally seeing a building with smoke coming from a chimney. Just then, Anna slips and falls into an ice-cold creek, which freezes her dress stiff. She staggers the rest of the way to the cabin with the chimney, a place known as Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna, run by its burly owner, Oaken.

Anna quickly staggers into Oaken's store. Oaken has very little winter gear in stock (as it's supposed to be the off-season). Anna inquires if Elsa has visited recently, but Oaken tells her that she's the only person crazy enough to be out in a storm like the one that struck the land not too long ago. As if on cue, an adult Kristoff staggers into the store, covered from head to foot in snow, seeking to buy a rope, an axe, and carrots for Sven. Oaken can't help but notice that Kristoff is bundled up tightly. Kristoff replies that there happens to be a real howler coming from up on the North Mountain. As Anna waits for Oaken to return his attention to her, Kristoff argues with Oaken over the drastic increase in the prices of the items he needs (due to Oaken claiming that there's a supply and demand problem since Kristoff is buying from the almost-bare shelves of the winter department), which ends with Oaken roughly throwing Kristoff out into the snow after the latter insults Oaken by calling him a "crook".

Kristoff and Sven take refuge in a barn next door to Oaken's store where they 'sing' a song about reindeers. They are soon met by Anna, who has bought Kristoff's supplies for him, on the condition that he takes her up the North Mountain immediately. Kristoff reluctantly agrees after she gives him and Sven a bag of carrots Anna and Kristoff set off with Sven driving the sled. As the discussion turns to Elsa, Anna explains to Kristoff what made Elsa go ice dreaded. Kristoff is also incredulous at Anna's foolhardiness in getting engaged to someone she just met that day, to the point that he quizzes her about Hans to see how Anna really knows about him. However, the conversation is interrupted when the sled is ambushed by a pack of renous wolves. Kristoff is initially reluctant to let Anna assist him, but Anna proves to be useful and manages to take out a few of the wolves by herself. There is a moment of panic when the trio sees a gaping rine up ahead. Kristoff hurriedly throws Anna onto Sven's back, then, just as the trio reaches the cliff, he uses his knife to cut Sven's harness. Anna and Sven successfully jump over to the chasm, and Kristoff does, just barely, but his sled falls to the bottom of the rine and explodes. Anna promises she will replace the sled and everything else Kristoff lost. He is at first upset that his sled is gone (as he'd just paid it off), but after "arguing" with Sven (which consists of Kristoff speaking his own opinion in his own voice and then delivering Sven's "counterargument" in a goofy voice), decides to join Anna, worried about her safety from going alone.

Early the next morning, Anna and Kristoff enter a frosted-over glen. They suddenly hear a new voice, which they momentarily think is Sven talking, until a little anthropomorphic snowman named Olaf wanders into the area. The introductions don't go well, as Anna screams and kicks Olaf's head off upon first seeing him. Anna calms down, fixes his head and gives him a carrot to use as a nose. Olaf then introduces himself and says he likes warm hugs. Anna is immediately reminded of the snowman she and Elsa built as kids and realized that Elsa had created him. Kristoff tells Olaf that the trio wants to find Elsa to bring back summer, and Olaf suddenly grows excited; it's his dream to see what summer is like, as he fantasizes in a Bubsy-Berkeley-style dance number. Anna does not see it fit to reveal that Olaf will melt in the summer heat, but she follows him along with Sven and Kristoff as Olaf leads them to Elsa's ice palace.

Back in Arendelle, Hans is providing shelter and help for Arendelle's people, much to the fury of the Duke of Weselton. When Anna's horse comes back riderless in the moment Hans confronts the Duke, Hans asks for volunteers to join him in bringing Anna back. The Duke of Weselton volunteers his bodyguards and secretly tells them to kill Elsa if they encounter her.

Later, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf arrive at Elsa's ice palace. Sven waits at the bottom of the stairway leading up to the front doors as his feet can't get a grip on the icy steps. When the others get to the front doors, Anna tells Kristoff and Olaf to wait outside, warning them that Elsa froze everything the last time Anna introduced her to a guy (making Elsa look like an overprotective sister). The dejected Olaf and Kristoff wait on the front steps and start counting down 1 minute while Anna enters.

"For the First Time in Forever (Reprise)"

Inside, Anna is stunned at the glorious interior of the palace and, even more amazed, to see the new ice dress Elsa has conjured for herself. Though Elsa is happy to see Anna and quickly forgives her for the argument that happened at the coronation party, she becomes nervous by Anna coming close to her and suggests her to lee, so Elsa can't harm her. The conversation is momentarily interrupted when Olaf crashes the meeting (taking Anna's request of "give us a minute" quite literally). Elsa is astonished to find that her powers include the ability to conjure up living snowmen. As it turns out, Elsa is surprised to learn that her entire kingdom is frozen, and Anna is surprised to learn that Elsa doesn't know how to stop it. But Anna insists her sister's powers are no reason why they should be so distant. However, hing seen Olaf, Elsa flashes back to accidentally hitting Anna in the head with her snow abilities, causing her to grow scared and nervous, demanding Anna to lee. Elsa retreats to the upper portion of the palace, and Anna follows her, pleading with her sister to come back home with her that they can solve Elsa's problem together.

However, as Anna promises to stand by her sister's side and help her, Elsa only grows more agitated and nervous by it all, resulting in her powers flaring. This time, a blast of magic bursts out and strikes Anna in the heart. Kristoff comes in to help Anna up as Elsa's powers become unstable by her stressing out from what just happened to Anna. In desperation to get her sister to safety, Elsa creates a giant snowman creature that Olaf calls "Marshmallow" to throw him, Anna and Kristoff out. As revenge, Anna balls up a snowball and throws it at the snow beast. Though it left literally no damage whatsoever, the lack of respect was enough to infuriate Marshmallow and cause him to chase Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf down the North Mountain while Sven (who ended up getting his tongue stuck on Elsa's icy staircase but got it unstuck and managed to lee) runs off into a different direction, which leads to the bottom of a cliff, and most likely eliminate them.

Anna and Kristoff running from Marshmallow.

Marshmallow manages to corner the trio at the edge of the cliff, though Kristoff immediately begins digging a snow anchor by using a rope to safely guide himself and Anna down the mountain to safety. Marshmallow, however, catches up to them, though Olaf tries to stop him. Annoyed by the little snowman, Marshmallow kicks Olaf over the cliff and continues his chase for Anna and Kristoff. He pulls them up to him by the rope, and yells at them "Don't Come Back!". Anna then grabs Kristoff's knife and cuts the rope. This sends the duo falling down, though they survive by landing on the snow. With his mission to drive them away complete, Marshmallow returns to the ice palace.

As Anna, Kristoff and Olaf recover from the landing, Sven manages to find them and Olaf happily greets him by saying in a cute baby voice "Who's my cute little reindeer?". Kristoff reassuringly calms down Anna, who becomes worried by the situation with the winter weather after her mission to being Elsa home failed and how it will affect Kristoff's ice business. Then he notices Anna's hair has started to turn white. Fearful that she may be injured by Elsa, Kristoff takes her, Olaf and Sven to his and Kristoff's family... who happen to be a group of rock trolls ― the same ones that sed Anna many years before. Meanwhile, back at the ice palace, Elsa tries to take control over her powers, only for her fear to grow ice spikes from the walls and the ceiling.

In the Valley, Kristoff explains to Anna that as he and Sven had no family at a young age, the trolls took them in. They soon reveal themselves to the quartet, elatedly welcoming Kristoff home. A mix-up occurs, and the trolls insist Anna and Kristoff get married. Anna collapses from freezing cold like ice before the two can be wed by Gothi the Troll Priest. Pabbie appears and examines Anna, but concludes that this time, her sister's powers struck her in the heart. He cannot se her; Anna's heart has begun to freeze and if not cured, she will become frozen as ice forever. Pabbie says that "only an act of true love can melt a frozen heart." More of Anna's hair turns white and she becomes colder by her curse. Kristoff quickly tells Anna that Hans can surely help her after Bulba suggests that the act of true love Anna needs may be a true love's kiss, and the quartet takes off for Arendelle.

"Don't be the monster they fear you are!"

The next morning, Hans' party arrives at Elsa's ice castle. Shortly after they arrive, Hans orders that no harm is to come to Elsa. While everyone agrees, the Duke's bodyguards quietly disagree, still following the Duke's orders to kill her. The moment everyone comes close enough, Marshmallow reveals himself from the form of snow boulders piled up by the base of the stairs and jumps right into battle. The archers immediately attack the beast with their arrows, infuriating Marshmallow and causing his ultimate form to be unleashed. Marshmallow is able to hold most of the guards off. Hans, however, proves to be a fierce warrior himself, oiding each of Marshmallow's attacks and eventually using his sword to slice the snow monster's leg off and cause him to lose balance and begin tumbling over into large gorge. With Marshmallow wounded, Hans begins heading inside Elsa's castle. Marshmallow, however, doesn't give up, giving one last swing in an attempt to drag Hans down with him. Marshmallow falls, plummeting down into the chasm below.

While Hans battles Marshmallow, the Duke's bodyguards he managed to use the distraction to barge up the ice steps and into the castle, where they corner Elsa. Despite her pleading for them to lee her alone, they shoot at her. She quickly forms walls of ice to block their shots. Eventually, she has the beardless bodyguard pinned to a wall by several icicles and is on the verge of using a wall of ice to shove the bearded bodyguard off the balcony. Hans and his men show up just in time, and Hans pleads for Elsa to not become the monster people accuse her of being so she can stop. Elsa settles down a bit at Hans' words, realizing the demon she is becoming, and halts her magic. The beardless bodyguard, still complying with the Duke's orders, aims his crossbow at Elsa and prepares to shoot her. Hans suddenly runs up and deflects the bow's shot. The arrow is released and hits an icy chandelier, which begins to fall. Elsa tries to run, but the falling chandelier fragments crash down to the floor and cause Elsa to fall into unconsciousness.

When Elsa wakes up, she finds herself in a dungeon cell at Arendelle with her hands chained and encased in steel shackles. As she looks out over the frozen kingdom and realizes what she has done to it, Hans appears, telling Elsa that Anna has not returned, and pleads with her to stop the winter. Elsa claims she can't and must be let go to keep others from being harmed. After Han lees the cell to comply with Elsa's demand of her release, ice forms on the shackles.

"Oh, Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you."

Unaware of what happened to Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Sven arrive at the castle. Olaf gets separated from the group, but he tells them that he will meet them at the castle, greeting a woman he bumps into but also scares despite his warning from Kristoff to stay out of sight. Anna's condition has grown worse with a chill coursing through her body. Kai and several of the castle staff escort her in; she looks back at Kristoff as he lees with Sven. Anna is brought to Hans in the library where he is discussing with the Duke of Weselton and the four dignitaries about the eternal winter. She tells Hans that he has to kiss her to se her from the curse.

The Duke of Weselton, the four dignitaries and the castle staff in the library quickly lee to give the couple privacy. Hans places Anna in a chair and leans in as if to kiss her with true love's kiss. But then, he smiles in a smear saying, "Oh, Anna... if only there was someone out there who loved you." As Anna looks at him in shocked confusion, Hans explains that as the youngest of 13 brothers, he had no chance at claiming his family's throne as he would be an old man by then, so he went looking for a royal family he could marry into. Unable to get to Elsa, he made Anna's acquaintance and played on her naïveté, saying, "You were so desperate for love, you were willing to marry me just like that." He intended to marry her before causing some form of "accident" for Elsa that would clear his path to the throne and make him the King of Arendelle. However, with Anna becoming weaker and about to die, he plans to simply let her frozen heart overcome her, then kill Elsa, ending the eternal winter and bringing back summer. During his explanation, he closes the curtains and extinguishes the fire in the fireplace to make Anna's curse grow even colder. Anna, now hating Hans for his cruelty, blatantly says, "You're no match for Elsa." with Hans replying that she isn't a match for Elsa before locking Anna in the library. She tries to open the doors, but she collapses from the rising cold temperatures as more of the curse spreads fast inside her body, causing her hair to turn completely white. Hans goes to speak with the Duke of Weselton and the other dignitaries in another room. He feigns grief and claims that Elsa has killed Anna, but he and Anna recited their wedding vows before she died. In part due to the eternal winter chaos, this apparently is enough to give him full authority as the new ruler of Arendelle to declare Elsa guilty of treason and sentence her to death. The palace guards go to Elsa's cell but are detained when some ice form inside the cell and block the door. While the guards are being held up along with Hans, Elsa freezes her shackles to the point that they shatter and then breaks through a hole she creates on the wall to the outside before the men can reach her.

Meanwhile, far from Arendelle, Kristoff and Sven are walking away when Sven urges Kristoff to go back to Anna and confess his feelings for her. Kristoff at first, refuses saying that Anna is with her true love, but his attention is suddenly drawn to a mysterious swirling cloud of snow that begins to engulf Arendelle. The duo then takes off towards the growing danger in the kingdom.

Anna's curse becomes stronger with her death process nearly complete. When Olaf arrives at the library by unlocking its doors with his carrot nose, he finds Anna freezing on the floor. Olaf comes to Anna's rescue by starting a fire in the fireplace to warm Anna up. He then asks her what happened to her true love's kiss with Hans, to which Anna reveals his betrayal and that it was never true love. Fearing that Olaf will melt from the fire, Anna warns him. Not wanting to abandon Anna, Olaf stays by her side during this time and asks if she has any other ideas in sing her with another act of true love. Hing lost her optimism for a whole, Anna brokenheartedly admits to Olaf that she doesn't even know what love is. Olaf replies by telling Anna that "love is putting someone else's needs before yours", using Kristoff as an example. This reveals Kristoff's true feelings to Anna, much to her surprise. Suddenly, the library's windows burst open due to the strong winter winds. Olaf rushes to close the windows, but then, using an icicle-like telescope, Olaf notices Kristoff and Sven moving fast across the fjord to the castle. Knowing Kristoff is truly the one that can se Anna from her curse, the duo tries to head out to meet him. Olaf helps Anna up, but the snowstorm outside is so worse that icicles spring up from inside the library and block the duo's path in the hallway. Going out a nearby window, Anna and Olaf slide down the castle's steep roofs. Anna attempts to make her way across the icy fjord, with Olaf close behind. However, as the wind picks up, Olaf is blown away by them and Anna finds her hands are turning to ice. Even so, she continues to move forward, calling out Kristoff's name. Back with him and Sven, they race through the rapidly growing storm while going across the fjord through some ships that are frozen in it. One of the ships falls down thanks to the strong winds. Kristoff and Sven make it through the collapsing ship, but its bow crashes onto the ice. It creates a large gap that heads to the duo underneath them. Sven bucks Kristoff to the other side of the gap and falls into the fjord, apparently drowning in the process. Kristoff calls out for him in concern, only for Sven to surface from the water and onto a floating ice chunk. He urges Kristoff to keep going without him, which he does after he becomes relieved to see the reindeer is all right.

Queen Elsa crying over the loss of her beloved younger sister, the only family member she had left.

Meanwhile, Elsa is fleeing in the storm until Hans finds her wandering on the ice of the fjord. Thinking he's coming for her, Elsa tells him to take care of Anna. Hans lies by saying that Anna was killed by Elsa's magic with some partial truth about the effects that led to Anna's 'death'. The pain of this causes Elsa to collapse in grief, the snow in the air suddenly hanging in stillness. This gives Kristoff and Anna the chance to reach each other. But at that moment, Anna hears a sword being drawn a short distance away. In horror, Anna sees Hans approaching Elsa from behind and preparing to strike her with his sword. With seconds to choose between sing her own life or Elsa's life, Anna takes one last look at Kristoff and runs towards Elsa. Just as Hans is taking his swing at Elsa, Anna steps in front of him to shield her and freezes. Hans's sword makes contact with Anna's frozen form, shattering and breaking it. The recoil from the shock we throws him brutally backward and knocks him unconscious.

Seeing Anna turned frozen solid, Elsa breaks down in tears, hugging her sister. Olaf, Kristoff and Sven arrive seconds later but could do little as they mourn the loss of the princess along with the four dignitaries, two guards and a woman. When all hope seems lost, Anna's icy form suddenly begins to slowly change and gain color. To everyone's surprise and relief, Anna thaws back to normal, her sudden movements catching the attention of Elsa, who looks up at her in amazement. The two sisters embrace each other in a hug. Olaf deduces that Anna's sacrifice to se Elsa is considered an act of true love that thawed her frozen heart.

Elsa unfreezing Arendelle after realizing that "true love will thaw."

Hearing his words, Elsa realizes that "love will thaw" as the key to control her powers. With one move, she is able to melt all the ice and snow all over Arendelle in a matter of seconds, revealing that the group is standing on top of a ship. Olaf, overjoyed, smiles with glee, but the summer heat starts to melt him. Elsa restores him and gives him a small snow flurry cloud to hover over his body and keep his body temperature below its freezing temperature, finally allowing him to experience summer and all of its wonders.

Shortly afterwards, Hans awakens and Kristoff tries to march forward towards Hans to attack him; while Elsa is touched by such a gesture, Anna generously deplores the thought of an assault between the two men. She ultimately confronts Hans herself, who says in disbelief that Elsa froze her heart after seeing her alive. Anna coolly replies "The only frozen heart around here is yours." and sends Hans over the ship railing and into the water with a single punch, which earns some praises from the dignitaries, the two guards and the woman. The sisters then hug with their familial relationship restored and stronger than ever. As they hug, Anna looks lovingly towards Kristoff, showing that she reciprocates his love.

With Arendelle returned to normal, Elsa is once again accepted as queen, everyone finally understanding that she is no monster but instead a creator of beautiful magic. The people that came for Elsa's coronation finally begin to lee. Exposed as a manipulating lying traitor, Hans is arrested and deported back to his own kingdom by the French dignitary for Hans to face punishment from his 12 brothers for his actions. Elsa additionally cuts off all trades with the Duke of Weselton, who tries to claim that he was innocent and a victim of fear, but to no ail. He and his bodyguards are sent back in disgrace, with Kai deliberately calling the Duke's kingdom "Weaseltown" on purpose to annoy him.

Elsewhere, Anna leads a blindfolded Kristoff to the docks, though she accidentally runs him into a lamppost. She removes the blindfold to present Kristoff a new sled. Too modest to accept such a gift, he attempts to decline both the sled, but Anna points out it's a direct order from the queen and reveals that Elsa has given him the title of Official Ice Master and Deliverer for the kingdom so he can be with Anna. When she asks if he likes the sled, Kristoff picks up Anna and twirls her around in his arms, exclaiming that he loves it and that he could kiss her. Realizing what he just said, Kristoff puts her down and stammers that he'd like to among several sentences of nonsense in requesting permission for the two to kiss, which lees Kristoff embarrassingly flustered. Nonetheless, Anna kisses his cheek, saying to Kristoff "We may." and the two share their first kiss, officially beginning their romantic relationship. Olaf is walking around the village in enjoyment to the sights and sounds of the warm season when he stops to smell some purple flowers. The pollen causes him to sneeze hard enough for his carrot nose to fly directly into Sven's mouth, who sucks up the carrot. Olaf becomes disappointed by the apparent loss of his nose, but Sven places the carrot back where it belongs on Olaf's face, much to his joy as he gives the reindeer a hug.

Olaf, Elsa and Anna during the finale.

At the castle's courtyard, Elsa creates an ice rink for her people to skate on and promises to Anna that the castle gates will never close again; the two sisters silently acknowledge that nothing would ever come between them again as well. Elsa gifts Anna a pair of ice skates made of ice on her boots. Though delighted, Anna tries to protest that she can't skate, only for Elsa to delightfully and playfully help her; the sisters are later joined by Olaf. The film ends with everybody in the village happily skating on Elsa's ice rink.

In a post-credits scene, it is revealed that Marshmallow has survived his fall into the gorge and to some degree, he has reattached his leg. He is seen limping back into the castle, where all he finds is Elsa's discarded tiara. The monster looks around for a moment and smiles. Marshmallow happily crowns himself ruler of the ice castle while going back to his neutral and peaceful form smiling and letting out a happy sigh, happily continuing his life in the North Mountain.

Concept art from Disney's shelved hand-drawn film The Snow Queen.

The Disney studio first began exploring a possible live action/animation biography film of author and poet Hans Christian Andersen sometime in late 1937 before the December premiere of its film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first feature-length hand-drawn animated film ever made. In March 1940, Walt Disney suggested a co-production to film producer Samuel Goldwyn, where Goldwyn's studio would shoot the live-action sequences of Andersen's life and Disney's studio would animate Andersen's fairy tales. The animated sequences would be based on some of Andersen's best known works, such as "The Little Mermaid", "The Little Match Girl", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "Thumbelina", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Red Shoes", and "The Emperor's New Clothes". However, the studio encountered difficulty with "The Snow Queen", as it could not find a way to adapt and relate the Snow Queen character to modern audiences. Even as far back as the 1930s and 1940s, it was clear that the source material contained great cinematic possibilities, but the Snow Queen character proved to be too problematic. After the United States entered World War II, the Disney studio had to focus on making wartime propaganda, which caused development on the Disney-Goldwyn project to grind to a halt in 1942. Goldwyn went on to produce his own live-action film version in 1952, entitled Hans Christian Andersen, with Danny Kaye as Andersen, Charles Vidor directing, Moss Hart writing, and Frank Loesser penning the songs. All of Andersen's fairy tales were, instead, told in song and ballet in live-action, like the rest of the film. It went on to receive six Academy Award nominations the following year. Back at Disney, "The Snow Queen", along with other Andersen fairy tales (including "The Little Mermaid"), were shelved.

Later efforts “Hans Christian Andersen's original version of "The Snow Queen" is a pretty dark tale and it doesn't translate easily into a film. For us, the breakthrough came when we tried to give really human qualities to the Snow Queen. When we decided to make the Snow Queen Elsa and our protagonist Anna sisters, that ge a way to relate to the characters in a way that conveyed what each was going through and that would relate to today's audiences. This film has a lot of complicated characters and complicated relationships in it. There are times when Elsa does villainous things but because you understand where it comes from, from this desire to defend herself, you can always relate to her. "Inspired by" means exactly that. There is snow and there is ice and there is a Queen, but other than that, we depart from it quite a bit. We do try to bring the scope and the scale that you would expect but do it in a way that we can understand the characters and relate to them."” ―Producer Peter Del Vecho, on the difficulties adapting "The Snow Queen".

In the late 1990s, Walt Disney Feature Animation started developing a new adaptation of The Snow Queen after the tremendous success of their recent films during the Disney Renaissance era, but the project was scrapped completely in late 2002, when Glen Keane reportedly quit the project and went on to work on another project which became Tangled (2010). Even before then, Harvey Fierstein pitched his version of the story to the Disney executives, but was turned down. Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi, D--- Zondag, and De Goetz reportedly all had their try on it but failed. After a number of unsuccessful attempts from 2000 to 2002, Disney shelved the project again. During one of those attempts, Michael Eisner, then-chairman and chief executive officer of the Walt Disney Company, offered his support to the project and suggested doing it with Oscar-winning director John Lasseter at Pixar Animation Studios after the then-expected renewal of Pixar's contract with Disney. But negotiations between Pixar and Disney collapsed in January 2004 and that contract was never renewed. Instead, Eisner's successor Bob Iger negotiated Disney's purchase of Pixar in January 2006 for $7.4 billion, and Lasseter was promoted to chief creative officer of both Pixar and Disney Animation.

The next attempt started in 2008 when Lasseter was able to convince Chris Buck (who had co-directed Tarzan (1999) for the studio) to return to Disney Animation from Sony Pictures Animation (where he had recently co-directed the Oscar-nominated Surf's Up), and that September, Buck pitched several ideas to Lasseter (who by then had also become Chief Creative Officer of Disney Animation), one of which was The Snow Queen. Buck later revealed that his initial inspiration for The Snow Queen was not the Andersen fairy tale itself, but that he wanted "to do something different on the definition of true love." "Disney had already done the 'kissed by a prince' thing, so [I] thought it was time for something new," he recalled. It turned out Lasseter had been interested in "The Snow Queen" for a long time; back when Pixar was working with Disney on Toy Story in the 1990s, he saw and was "blown away" by some of the preproduction art from Disney's prior attempts. Development began under the title Anna and the Snow Queen, which was planned to be traditionally animated. According to Josh Gad, he first became involved with the film at that early stage, when the plot was still relatively close to the original Andersen fairy tale and Megan Mullally was going to play Elsa. By early 2010, the project entered development h--- once again when the studio failed to find a way to make the story and the Snow Queen character work.

Revitalization

On December 22, 2011, following the success of Tangled, Disney announced a new title for the film, Frozen, and a release date of November 27, 2013. A month later, it was confirmed that the film would be a computer-animated feature in stereoscopic 3D, instead of the originally intended hand-drawn animation. Anderson-Lopez and Lopez joined the project and started writing songs for Frozen in January 2012.

On March 5, 2012, it was announced that Buck would be directing, with Lasseter and Peter Del Vecho producing.

After Disney decided to advance "The Snow Queen" into development again, one of the main challenges Buck and Del Vecho faced was the character of the Snow Queen, who was then a villain in their drafts. The studio has a tradition of screening animated films in development every 12 weeks, then holding lengthy "notes sessions" in which its directors and screenwriters from different projects provide extensive "notes" on each other's work.

Buck and Del Vecho presented their storyboards to Lasseter, and the entire production team adjourned to a conference to hear Lasseter's thoughts on the project. Art director Michael Giaimo later acknowledged Lasseter as the "game changer" of the film: "I remember John saying that the latest version of "The Snow Queen" story that Chris Buck and his team had come up with was fun, very light-hearted. But the characters didn't resonate. They aren't multi-faceted. Which is why John felt that audiences wouldn't really be able to connect with them."

The production team then addressed the film's problems, drafting several variations on The Snow Queen story until the characters and story felt relevant. At that stage, the first major breakthrough was the decision to rewrite the film's protagonist Anna (who was originally based on the Gerda character from The Snow Queen), as the younger sibling of Elsa, thereby effectively establishing a family dynamic between the characters. This was unusual in that relationships between sisters are rarely used as a major plot element in American animated films, with the notable exception of Disney's Lilo & Stitch (2002). To fully explore the unique dynamics of the kind of relationships, Disney Animation convened a "Sister Summit," at which women from all over Disney Animation who grew up with sisters were asked to discuss their relationships with their sisters.

Writing

In March 2012, Jennifer Lee, one of two screenplay writers of Wreck-It Ralph, was brought in as one of the film's writers. Lee later explained that as Wreck-It Ralph was wrapping up, she was giving notes on other projects, and "we kind of really connected with what we were thinking."

According to Lee, several core concepts were already in place from Buck and Del Vecho's early work, such as the film's "frozen heart" hook: "That was a concept and the phrase ... an act of true love will thaw a frozen heart." They already knew the ending involved true love in the sense of the emotional bond between siblings, not romance, in that "Anna was going to se Elsa. We didn't know how or why." Lee said Edwin Catmull, president of Disney Animation, told her early on about the film's ending: "First and foremost, no matter what you he to do to the story, do it. But you he to earn that ending. If you do, it will be great. If you don't, it will suck."

Before Lee was brought on board, another screenwriter had made the first pass at a script, and Anderson-Lopez and Lopez tried to write songs for that script but none worked and all were cut. Then "the whole script imploded," which ge the songwriters the opportunity "to put a lot of [their] DNA" into the new script that Lee was writing. The production team "essentially started over and ... had 17 months," which resulted in a very "intense schedule" and implied "a lot of choices had to be made fast."

The earlier versions differed sharply from the final version. In the original script the songwriters first saw, Elsa was evil from the start; she kidnapped Anna from her own wedding to intentionally freeze her heart, then later descended upon the town with an army of snowmen with the objective of recapturing Anna to freeze her heart properly. By the time Lee came in, the first act included Elsa deliberately striking Anna in the heart with her freezing powers; then "the whole second act was about Anna trying to get to Hans and to kiss him and then Elsa trying to stop her." Buck revealed that the original plot attempted to make Anna sympathetic by focusing on her frustration as being perceived as the "spare" in relation to the "heir," Elsa. The original plot also had different pacing, in that it was "much more of an action adventure" than a musical or a comedy.

One major breakthrough was the composition of "Let It Go" by songwriters Lopez and Anderson-Lopez, which forced the production team to reconceptualize and rewrite Elsa as a far more complex, vulnerable, and sympathetic character. In The Daily Telegraph's words, instead of the villain envisioned by the producers, the songwriters saw Elsa as "a scared girl struggling to control and come to terms with her gift." Lee recalled: "Bobby and Kristen said they were walking in Prospect Park, and they just started talking about what would it feel like to be Elsa. Forget villain. Just what it would feel like. And this concept of letting out who she is, that she's kept to herself for so long, and she's alone and free, but then the sic sadness of the fact that the last moment is she's alone. It's not a perfect thing, but it's powerful." Del Vecho explained that "Let It Go" changed Elsa into a person "ruled by fear and Anna was ruled by her own love of other people and her own drive," which in turn caused Lee to "rewrite the first act and then that rippled through the entire movie. So that was when we really found the movie and who these characters were."

Another major breakthrough was developing the plot twist that Prince Hans would be revealed as the film's true villain only near the end. Hans was not even in the earliest drafts, then at first was not a villain, and after becoming one was revealed to be evil much earlier in the plot. Del Vecho said, "We realized what was most important was if we were going to make the ending so surprising, you had to believe at one point that Hans was the answer ... when he's not the answer, it's Kristoff ... If you can get the audience to leap ahead and think they he figured it out, you can surprise them by turning it the other way." Lee acknowledged that Hans was written as "sociopathic" and "twisted" throughout the final version. For example, Hans mirrors the behior of the other characters: "He mirrors Anna, and he's goofy with her ... The Duke of Weselton is a jerk, so he's a jerk back. And with Elsa he's a hero." It was difficult to lay the foundation for Anna's belated turn to Kristoff without also making Hans' betrayal of Anna too predictable, in that the audience had to "feel ... her feeling something but not quite understanding it ... Because the minute it is understood, it deflated."

Lee had to work through the issue of how to write Anna's personality, in that some of her colleagues felt Anna should be more dysfunctional and co-dependent, like Vanellope von Schweetz in Wreck-It Ralph. Lee disagreed with that position, but it took her almost a year to figure out how to convincingly articulate "this is what Anna's journey is. No more than that. No less than that." In the end, Lee successfully argued Anna's journey should be presented as a simple coming-of-age story, "where she goes from hing a naïve view of life and love—because she's lonely—to the most sophisticated and mature view of love, where she's capable of the ultimate love, which is sacrifice." Lee also had to let go of some ideas that she liked, such as a scene portraying Anna and Elsa's relationship as teenagers, which did not work because they needed to maintain the separation between Anna and Elsa.

To construct Anna and Elsa's relationship as sisters, Lee found inspiration in her own relationship with her older sister. Lee said her older sister was "a big inspiration for Elsa", called her "my Elsa" in an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, and walked the red carpet with her at the 86th Academy Awards. Lee explained, "hing to ... lose each other and then rediscover each other as adults, that was a big part of my life."

The production team also turned Olaf from Elsa's obnoxious sidekick into Anna's comically innocent sidekick. Lee's initial response to the original "mean" version of Olaf had been, "Kill the f-ing snowman", and she found Olaf by far "the hardest character to deal with."

The problem of how exactly Anna would se Elsa at the film's climax was solved by storyboard artist John Ripa. At the story meeting where Ripa pitched his take on the story, the response was silence until Lasseter said, "I've never seen anything like that before," which was followed by a standing ovation.

Along the way, the production team went through drafts where the first act included far more detail than what ended up in the final version, such as a troll with a Brooklyn accent who would he explained the backstory behind Elsa's magical powers, and a regent for whom Lee was hoping to cast comedian Louis C.K. After all those details were thoroughly "over-analyzed", they were excised because they amounted to a "much more complex story than really we felt like we could fit in this 90-minute film." As Del Vecho put it, "the more we tried to explain things at the beginning, the more complicated it got."

Reception Critical response

Frozen opened to strong early reviews, with several critics comparing the film forably to the films of the Disney Renaissance, particularly The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King. Indeed, some journalists thought the film's success marked a second Disney Renaissance. The film was praised for its visuals, themes, musical numbers, screenplay, and voice acting, especially of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad. The "Let It Go" musical sequence was repeatedly singled out for praise; some critics called it one of the best film sequences of the year. The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 90% of critics ge the film a positive review based on 239 reviews, with an erage score of 7.68/10, making it the highest-rated family film in 2013. The site's consensus reads: "Beautifully animated, smartly written, and stocked with singalong songs, Frozen adds another worthy entry to the Disney canon."

This is the final Disney Animated Canon film to use Old Rendering before switching to Hyperion Rendering. Animation from Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph is reused throughout the movie. Frozen is rated PG for "some action and mild rude humor". The names of four of the main characters were inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's name; Hans, Kristoff, Anna and Sven. Hans from Hans, Kristoff from Christian, Anna from Andersen and Sven from Andersen. Anna, though, may he actually been a tribute to Andersen's mother Anne, whose husband and Andersen's father was also named Hans. In one part of the film, Kristoff asks Anna what the name of Hans' best friend is, and Anna answers "Probably John." It turns out that Hans is nothing less than a Danish equivalent of the English name John. The name Hans is also commonly used in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Hans' home kingdom, the Southern Isles, may be located in Denmark, since Denmark is south of Norway (where Arendelle is located) and comprised of hundreds of islands. In the original fairy tale, the Snow Queen promised Kai a pair of skates if he solved a puzzle for her. As a reference to this, Elsa gives Anna a pair of skates at the end. Doors, open and closed, are used as a major symbol throughout the movie representing relationships: After Anna's accident, the gates were ordered closed, and Elsa was ordered to stay away from Anna, and a closed door constantly divided Anna and Elsa. When Elsa decided to open the gates for her coronation, Anna is excited as an open door meant she's free to see the outside world, while Elsa is intent on closing them at the end of the day so she wouldn't see anyone or hurt them with her powers, separating them again. While talking with Hans, Anna mentions how much Elsa shut her out of her life; Hans promises he would never shut her out. After his true nature is revealed, he lees Anna to die by shutting her in a room. The duet between Anna and Hans is called "Love is an Open Door". In addition to how each of them sees the meaning of an open door, Anna's first line is mentioning "a series of doors in [her] face." While singing the aforementioned line, Anna closes the balcony doors to shut herself and Hans out from the rest of the party, Elsa included. When Anna is upset at Elsa just before she reveals her powers at the ball, she asks her why would she shut her out. Right after Elsa finishes "Let it Go", the doors to the ice palace balcony slam in the viewers' faces. As Anna pickets Elsa to come home with them, she urges her not to "slam the door" and shut her out again. At the end of the film, Anna says she loves the open gates, and Elsa promises to never close them again, as if saying the sisters are truly reunited and Elsa promises never to shut her out again. Gloves are used as major symbolism throughout the movie, but most noticeably with the characters, Elsa and Hans; both characters wear gloves when attempting to conceal their true selves, and their true identities are revealed when the characters remove their gloves (and Hans goes back into hiding his true self when he puts his gloves back on). The only time Anna speaks with authority in a serious manner is when she says: "Bring me my horse, please", "I lee Prince Hans in charge" and "We lee now. Right now." Frozen is the second film based on a fairy tale to not be named after the original title. Tangled was the first. There were many changes in the script Stitch Kingdom ge on their website in October 2013 before the final one. One example is Kristoff's line, featured in the first trailer: "You wanna talk about a problem? I sell ice for a living." In the film, he says: "You want to talk about a supply and demand problem? I sell ice for a living." The words "anymore" and "door" are used as a rhyme in five original songs in the chronologically order: In "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?", 5-year-old Anna sings: "I never see you anymore, come out the door, it's like you've gone away." In "For the First Time in Forever", Anna sings: "The window is open, so's that door. I didn't know they did that anymore." In "Love is an Open Door", Hans and Anna sing: "Say goodbye (say goodbye) to the pain of the past. We don't he to feel it anymore. Love is an open door." In "Let It Go", Elsa sings: "Let it go, let it go. Can't hold me back anymore. Let it go, let it go. Turn away and slam the door." The end title reprise by Demi Lovato goes: "Let it go, let it go. Can't hold me back anymore. Let it go, let it go. Turn my back and slam the door." In the reprise of "For the First Time in Forever", Anna sings: "Please don't slam the door, you don't he to keep your distance anymore." When Elsa is holding the scepter and orb, the bishop proclaims, "Sem hón heldr inum helgum eignum ok krýnd í þessum helga stað ek té fram fyrir yðr..." In English translates to "As she holds the holy properties, and is crowned in this holy place, I present to you...". In the script, it reads phonetically as "Sehm hon H----drr IN-um H----gum AYG-num ok krund ee THES-um H---- gah STAHTH, ehk teh frahm FUR-ear U- thear..." Frozen is the seventh animated film to reach $300 million, and the third original animated film to reach that milestone. With nearly $1.3 billion in its revenue, Frozen is the third highest-grossing animated film to date (behind The Lion King (2019) and Frozen II). During Olaf's song, his dance with four seagulls is a nod to Bert's dance with four penguins from Mary Poppins (1964). There is a plush Mickey Mouse on one of the shelves in Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna. When the King pulls the book off the shelf to figure out where to find the trolls, the book is written in Nordic runes, originating from Scandinia where the film crew drew much inspiration. Over 24 minutes of the film is dedicated to musical sequences. Olaf's name is a clue to his character's purpose in providing comic relief. It can be interpreted to mean "Oh, laugh." The film Italian's title is Frozen - Il regno di Ghiaccio (Frozen - The Ice Kingdom). There are three wood-carved bear figurines on Oaken's Table. Anna dances with Hans (in the musical sequence "Love is an Open Door") at 10:15 PM (22:15), according to the setting clock. Anna arrives at Oaken's trading post at 10:30 PM (22:30), according to the setting clock based on the European Time Zone. Arendelle remained covered with snow for about three days (three nights and half a day), when analyzing the movie time. One of the paintings in the gallery is based on the painting "The Swing", by the French Rococo artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard, which was used as inspiration for the visual style of Tangled. Each of the snowflakes of Frozen are different. Frozen was a sponsored party for Club Penguin on August 2014. This is the first Walt Disney Animation Studios film to he its music score composed by a completely different composer than Henry Jackman since 2010's Tangled (which was composed by Alan Menken), as it is instead scored by Christophe Beck. However, Anna and Elsa appear in Ralph Breaks the Internet (which is indeed scored by Jackman). In addition to that, the film also marks Christophe Beck's first music score in a feature-length animated film followed by Blue Sky Studios' The Peanuts Movie (also owned by Disney as of March 20, 2019), DreamWorks Animation's Trolls, and the Disney sequel Frozen II. Because of the sequel being scored by the same composer as this film, Christophe Beck becomes the 11th recurring composer of feature-length Walt Disney Animation Studios films (after Frank Churchill, Leigh Harline, Paul J. Smith, Oliver Wallace, George Bruns, Alan Menken, Mark Mancina, John Debney, James Newton Howard, and Henry Jackman and before Michael Giacchino). Kristoff calls Anna out on marrying a man she just met that day and cites the "love experts," the trolls. But when they go to the trolls, they try to get Kristoff and Anna married, when they only met the previous night. A chess set is seen in the background when Hans is explaining his scheme to Anna and extinguishing the heat sources in the room, symbolizing his exploitation of her as a "pawn" in his plans. Afterwards, a white queen piece falls when wind bursts through the window during the blizzard, symbolizing Elsa with Hans attempting to murder her at that moment. Frozen is the first Disney animated feature to he a soundtrack released on vinyl since Oliver & Company. This is the first Walt Disney Animation Studios film to gross a billion dollars worldwide. The second Disney's animated film to gross a billion dollars worldwide, after Toy Story 3. This is the first Walt Disney Animation Studios animated film to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film. This is the first Walt Disney Animation Studios animated film to win an Oscar since Tarzan and is the first to win more than one since Pocahontas. This is the first Walt Disney Animation Studios film to play a different song over the company’s opening sequence. An entire discussion of the Frozen Universe can be found on the podcast Broadwaysted. This is the first non-Marvel movie to feature an orb and a scepter. Despite knowing Elsa didn't mean any harm, Anna made Elsa look bad twice in the film: before entering the ice castle she told Kristoff to wait outside claiming "Last time I introduced her to a guy she froze everything." making Elsa look like an overprotective sister; the second time is when she returned to Hans, she claims Elsa struck her with her powers and believes she was wrong about the thought that Elsa would never hurt her, with Anna's tone implying that Elsa willingly attacked her. Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled he a cameo during "For the First Time in Forever", though this appearance is not canon as the two films take place in different time periods (even though the two could in theory still be alive at the time, they he their young-adult appearances when they would he been elderly). A detail throughout the film is that the ice and snow produced impulsively by Elsa looks realistic, but the ice and snow she creates on purpose usually looks magical (i.e. colorful, clear, smooth and refined/spindly) such as the chandelier in her ice palace which would be impossible to stay up in real life. Goofs During "Let It Go", Elsa's hair goes through her left arm. Also during "Let It Go", the sun is up by the end of the song when not much time seems to he passed inbetween. However, in Scandinia, the sun can rise as early as around 3 in the morning during the summer, so this is technically possible. When Anna and Kristoff are thrown down the icy stairs by Marshmallow, her bonnet is missing, but when Olaf's head slams into a rock, it reappears. During the scene of Anna and Kristoff's first kiss, Kristoff gets Anna up and his left thumb enters in Anna's abdomen. Marshmallow throws Olaf at a rock that close to Elsa's ice palace however during Let It Go the rock is nowhere to be seen. When Anna jumps off the cliff and pulls Kristoff over the edge and hang upside down and using the rope to safely guide themselves down the cliff, her bonnet disappears. It remains missing for the rest of the film. When Anna cuts the rope causing her and Kristoff to fall off, they are still tied together, but when they land, the rope is gone. Olaf says "Hey, Sven! He found us.", but he should he said "Hey, Sven! You found us." as Sven found him, Anna, and Kristoff at the bottom of the cliff just as he tries to bite his nose once again. Elsa has given Olaf a small flurry cloud to hover over him, but when he enjoys Elsa's newly created ice rink, his flurry cloud does not appear.
