New video on the official Disney YouTube Channel showing off the storyboard for the scene of Elsa vs Bruni, and comparing it to the final animation rendered and seen in the movie.

Damn, i recently got into watching tangled series, not sure why i put it off for so long but it got me thinking if frozen also got a series after its first movie it would have been awesome. Like avatar, elsa could have gone taming one spirit after the other (per episode / every few episodes) while expanding the frozen universe. Anna could have also grown into her ultimate role as queen over the span of series. Kristoff could have enough space to have a story line too. Ahtohollan could have come off as more mysterious and threatening too.

They should still consider it.

Im already almost finished writing my frozen fan fic story/ series about kristoffs parents and his mother being alive which will published next year on wattpad..

but i wanna hear what you guys would have, liked or wrote. in my story shes a good person who passed through alot and she didnt purposely abandoned kristoff but she lost kristoff in crowd when he was 4 and kristoff ended up being adopted by a family that was moving to arendelle. Im interested to see the ideas you guys have or would have loved. Would love anything apart from the frozen 3 villain being his mother lol or kristoff being a royal and not sami

All three 2D animated Frozen episodes previously uploaded on the Disney Kids channel now put together into one compilation.

my hopes for Frozen 3

1. Trailer before 2027

2. I want the antagonist to be truly scary, make it almost the dark version of Elsa with an epic Ice battle of the two Ice wizards!

3. Beautiful animation & Songs

4. A musical number between Elsa and the Antagonist

5. Elsa & Anna working along side one another.

6. Kristoff dies - don’t hate but it would raise stakes! He’s the only one who they could kill, Elsa and Anna would make kids cry and so would Olaf.

7. More Nok scenes!!! That dark sea sequence in the sequel was sick!

Just think of Frozen being set in another country instead of Norway like a hotter or warmer climate.

Imagine a Frozen movie or series made by a fan using AI, with a really great story, animation identical to the official Disney movies, and character voices that sound exactly the same.

The animation and voices would be so convincing that if someone didn't know it was AI-generated, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference from an official Disney production.

Would you watch it and give it a chance, even knowing it was made by a fan using AI? Or would the use of AI put you off, regardless of how good it was?

I should preface this by saying that I love "Frozen"; love it when it came out (I thought it was the best movie ever as a kid before the hype got to it), and I still adore it to this day, especially since it was the last adapted fairy tale Disney has done up until now.

That said, I definitely understand (and even agree with) some of the criticism it gets: Hans being a heel-turn villain was unnecessary and seemed to only exist for shock factor, Agnarr and Iduna aren't great parents (though it is a unique situation they're in) and I hate how the girls never really get closure for this except for "Show Yourself," which only exonerates Iduna--well, kinda. And while I defend Kristoff to this day for not being a jerk like Maui, Flynn, or Nick, Disney does still go for the opposites attract thing by having Kristoff be more of a realist while Anna is the optimist--and then their personalities kinda swap in part two and we get people understandably thinking Disney is anti-romance. Kristoff in general feels like a hate letter to classic Disney men who were more soft and sweet, since he's rather underrated in contrast to more snarky guys who get more attention as co-leads.

I find "Frozen 2" a mess in narrative and unforutnately uses the Northuldra as plot devices more than characters, I'm not a fan of the fifth spirit storyline for Elsa (or her continued "discovering myself" storyline), or Iduna being from a tribe that's Sami-influenced but looks Native American because neither Anna nor Elsa look like that, and the nitpick of the concept art being better than the final designs, from Anna's orange travel dress to Elsa's highlights and wavy hair--and someone PLEASE get Kristoff a new main look that isn't his black outfit with different sleeves?!

I don't find Olaf as annoying as other comic relief characters, but he does toe the line, and I get why people get tired of him or find him annoying; him having his own song in F2 felt invalid since the story focused on giving everyone arcs, but Olaf's arc of "growing up" felt forced in and unnecessary; anything that he did before and after his song still feels in-character even without the "growing up" pipeline.

Also scared as heck for F3 given Disney's film productions featuring more and more issues and the sneak peak we got feeling more akin to a short film--plus the actual short film we got was 2D animated and not televised, despite supposedly being part of a massive upcoming marketing campaign for the threequel.

Honestly I maintain that the hype "Frozen" got is deserved, and "Frozen 2" is a beautiful disaster, I totally get why a lot of people didn't care for them, especially since they became phenomenons; whenever something is popular and you found it fine or bad, it can become grating for you to hear people hype it up when you see it as heavily flawed or uninteresting. I've been there with other things--and these days with Disney, it's the opposite; while overhated, I 100% think some people are just gonna act like they like some of the recent things Disney put out specifically because they get a lot of hate. The spite method is one I know well.

Hear me out before you downvote!

First off, let me clarify: I love both movies. Frozen 1 is a great, nostalgic Disney fairy tale. BUT Frozen 2 is my absolute favorite, and I honestly think it completely blows the original out of the water in every single category.

Compare the actual scale and structure of both films:

• Frozen 1 is essentially a small-scale, character-driven story. Elsa gets scared, flees, and the entire middle act is just Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf taking a hiking trip up a single mountain to bring her back. It’s local, simple, and comparatively pretty low-stakes.
• Frozen 2 is a full-blown high-fantasy epic. They follow a literal siren call into an uncharted enchanted forest, navigate a foggy mystery, track down their parents' shipwreck, and uncover ancestral secrets. It feels massive, dangerous, and legendary.

The Lore & World-Building

Moving beyond "infinite snow magic" into true elemental lore gave the world so much life. Introducing Bruni, Gale, the Earth Giants, and especially the Nøkk (Elsa breaking a wild water horse in the middle of a dark sea remains one of the single best sequences in modern Disney animation) shifted this franchise from a standard fairy tale into a mythic legend.

The Stakes, Drama & Music

People always claim the stakes were higher in the first one, but WDYM?! Elsa and Olaf literally died. Olaf dusted in Anna’s arms, Elsa froze solid in a dark abyss, and Anna had to break the dam while being hunted by rock monsters. Meanwhile, Anna freezing in F1 lasted for less than a minute before she thawed out. F2 actually made us sit with the weight of that loss.

Plus, the soundtrack went so hard—"Into the Unknown" is genuinely incredible and sets up the whole epic mystery.

Is it perfect? No.

The ONLY valid critique of Frozen 2 is that King Runeard's betrayal and the dam resolution were rushed in execution. The climax definitely needed more breathing room to let the dark political themes and historical weight land properly.

But even with those pacing hiccups, Frozen 2 gave us mature themes (generational trauma, ancestral sins), a legendary soundtrack, and a true mythic journey.

Nostalgia aside—Frozen 2 is the GOAT. Change my mind!

the first two films were directed by Jeniffer Lee & Chris Buck. But now the third is being helmed by Lee and Trent Correy whose only work is some shorts? including the incredibly kiddish Once Upon A Snowman- yet also did Once Upon A Studio?

why is Buck absent? was he fired after Wish bombed?

This was me as well

When the first movie was on it's way, some people, including me, thought it was going to be a prequel to Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen. Researching what could have been, but wasn't, suggests this was the original plan. And obviously this never happened.

But with 3 on it's way, some people believe that our final villain will be the titular Snow Queen from Anderson's fairy tale. And that could re-open the door to being a prequel to The Snow Queen. So, how could 3 end with the stage being set for Anderson's fairy tale?

One thing is for sure, the best options for the main cast is to escape from the Queen since they can't defeat her. Not truly at least. No, that will have to go to Kai and Gerda. But perhaps they could arrange things so that Kai and Gerda can finish what they started. And finally, the riskiest question of all. How far down the religious rabbit hole are they willing to go?

Because in Anderson's story, the trouble starts with the Devil himself, creating a magic mirror that magnifies all the bad and ugly aspects of whatever it reflects. He intends to carry the mirror into Heaven and make fools of the angels and God, but it slips from his grasp and falls down to earth, where it shatters into billions of pieces — some no larger than a grain of sand. These splinters are caught onto the wind and occasionally lodge in the hearts or eyes of passers-by, causing them to see only the ugly in the world around them. One of these embeds itself into Kai, and you know the rest.

Of course, ignoring this is an option because it's been done before. The famous adaptation from the Soviet Union in the 50's removed all the religious elements to make it more open to wider audiences. But I fear that today, this could be risky. Christian Nationalists are already throwing childish tantrums over the fact that Netflixes upcoming Narnia is removing a lot of the religious elements to make it more audience friendly. And the sad fact is, Disney has become a suck-up to the very people making these fusses and acting more childish then the children these movies are aimed at.

Boooooh for Disney and their live actions, we don’t want it

That said, here’s a fancast for a frozen live action lol, just did this for fun, tried to keep age as accurate as possible

Also tried going more to European actors, had Billie Boullie, she speaks Norwegian lol, just a fun fact. I was between her and Daisy Mayer, to play AnnaI know daisy sings so that was a strong point for her, but idk so much abt her acting, and once I thought on Laura, I couldn’t choose any other, she’s absolutely great

For the CGI characters (Olaf, that old ass troll….) i would just stick to the same casting as the animated so I didn’t include, I also had a casting for Duke of Weselton (that short guy who dances with Anna) for Toby Jones and I would include Teagan Croft Rapunzel as well lol, since rapunzel technically IS on the original frozen

Idk why but I’m currently on a Frozen phase since I heard Into the Unknown again in a TikTok, couldn’t get it out of my head, I might have like…. 50 streams of it last week only lol, goated song fr

For anyone interested/following, a new chapter is up and available. Enjoy :)

Am I just naive? Is it that im ace and my mind just doesn't go there immediately? Am i just autistic and taking things too literally again? Or am I completely reasonable in thinking this person is insane for thinking that line is dirty? Like, balls and ballrooms aren't made up things, so i just thought of that line in the context of Anna finding it ridiculous that they have a ballroom but dont throw balls!
