[@thing1thing2themediamaniac43]

I really liked Frozen II But I do understand some of The Nostalgia Critics complaints with it

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

What I'd really like to know now is how the writers decided that the film should end with Anna as Queen. Jen Lee has gone on record saying that she views Anna as a fairytale heroine (the kind which ends up a Queen) and Elsa as a mythical heroin (the kind which usually meets a tragic fate). I can get by Anna being a fairtytale heroine, but I don't quite get their point about Elsa, apart from the fact that she's horribly overpowered in the setting. Although the tragic fate thing would at least explain the ending. They wanted Elsa out of the picture without killing her since this is Disney, so they came up with a rushed-up non-explanation. If anything, Anna in F2 was Hans'ed. They gave us minimal hints suggesting that she would become a Queen. She is suddenly “a leader” when she wasn’t before in the first movie. I don’t consider leaving the kingdom in the hands of a stranger like Hans to be a good move, and I don't see it as something that qualifies her as a good "leader”. And what they did in Frozen II to prove that Anna is a leader is through retcons. And not even good retcons, since she managed to convince a total of one person, Mathias, to let her destroy the dam. And even for that, she used Elsa’s authority and name (“my sister gave her life”). She has other qualities, but "leader" is not one of them. She also never studied for it. I know the books are only semi-canon, but the ones set during their childhoods show that as a kid, Anna was usually outside playing while Elsa was busy studying. Even as an adult, Anna sleeps in late and spends her days outside. Which establishes that she’s a free spirit, not someone who should spend her life at a desk. It’s not what she wanted. She was never written as a wannabe queen, all she ever wanted was to be with Elsa and be useful to her. She’s not the single and introverted Queen that was different and new, but the usual extroverted princess who gets a boyfriend and a kingdom. Undoing the first movie's progressive display of an unmarried Queen who didn't need a husband or boyfriend to be capable of ruling. It would make more sense for Anna to be a knight or ambassador. Any sort of position that would allow her to use an ice sword.

[@DC-hw7fw]

No, it was just an overplayed message about "family" and "together." You're giving them too much credit out of thin air.

[@alexandersmith4731]

@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 That's because Jennifer Lee was never the sole writer or idea guy for the movie, John Lasseter ideas on Elsa was the one that made that character popular in the first place, and now since he is no longer in the company, Elsa and Anna felt inconsistent because they're filling in the blanks for somebody else's vision and not their own

I heard rumors about how Disney was going to make Anna & Elsa a couple before this was released. But it looks like they backed out of that......kinda. I mean it's not there, but at the same time it is. But I get the feeling if this movie came out 2 or 3 years later from its debut, Disney would undoubtedly go All In on that.

[@DrWolf-jl4po]

@@TheBranMan100 apparently Disney had cut that scene with Anna using the sword to slice the screen since it wouldn't make sense with the movies pace (or at least something along those lines) but since this scene was getting really popular, they decided to use the scene we got where Anna used the ice sword she got from the ice statues to defend everyone. Bravo Disney, way to give your viewers false hope👏

[@Khajmer]

So I kinda need to interject with something here: Anna's song isn't about losing Olaf, it's about losing Elsa. She knows what Olaf dying means, her sister is gone as as far as she knows is never coming back. That's what Anna's character arc is about, how her incredible focus on Elsa defines her and warps into a kind of co-dependency where it's the *only* thing she cares about. All of her freaking out and emotional turmoil up to that point was because Elsa was pulling away (in a healthier, less destructive manner than in the first movie), trying to do things without her, following *her* journey which Anna *isn't* a part of, and The Next Right Thing is the culmination of that where Anna has to find a way to move forward in a world without the thing that, for the last three years, has been her purpose.

[@tacticstonk4740]

But why focus on olaf! It is stupid. Just have Anna be sad for Elsa in a song. Symbolism is not always necessary.

[@FatedHandJonathon]

@@tacticstonk4740 It's not symbolism, man. Olaf "dies" because Elsa does; Anna knows this. He's the messenger, not the message. The song is very directly sung about Elsa; in what sense has Anna "always followed" Olaf around?

[@thomasgeary9145]

I'm glad someone pointed that out. Anna had a pretty decent character arc in this movie. She wanted everything to stay the same way. She follows Elsa so she can keep her safe and bring her back so everything remains the same. Also destroying Arendelle wasnt what would lift the curse it was destroying the dam. Something Anna thought WOULD destroy Arendelle. Her arc was completed by moving on thinking she was losing not only her sister but her entire kingdom. And doing it because it was The Next Right Thing.

[@jenniesvensson4589]

Thank you! So annoyed when he said it was for Olaf

[@Miyanoai14]

I watched this review before watching the movie and after finally watching the movie i came back to find this comment. Olaf literally says “I don’t think elsa is okay” and then dies, implying elsa did as well. It was so obvious the song was about her? Even thru the lyrics alone!

[@Saimeren]

Anna isn't crying for Olaf, she's crying for Elsa. She knows that since Olaf "died" that means that her sister did too. Olaf is just the symbolism of their love and time spent together.

[@Marenks]

Yeah it is pretty clear in the movie.

[@NightCityDrift]

ABSOLUTELY!!

[@justinstovall7465]

I said the same thing when they did the sibling rivalry for this movie. How did it go over their heads?

[@astrowolvez]

Rhey could have made it alot more clear. I mean she was holding him and crying. I would have never guessed that.

[@Saimeren]

@@astrowolvez She was holing him and crying because she was holding onto the only thing she has left of her sister. It's the only thing they share, and it's gone.

[@keystothelostworld9747]

When Anna says 'the only star that guided me was you' she's talking about Elsa. The reason she is so profoundly devastated in that scene is because she knows that if Olaf is falling apart, something happened to Elsa. That's what she's mourning, it's just compounded by Olaf's death.

[@7snowdog]

@@Swanswearbells5547 that's what i think too. WE know they drowned. Elsa only knew they disappeared somewhere on the South. Now suddenly she finds the wreck on North and she got confused. She knew they died but she wanted to know how that happened.

[@Chemist-ob9uf]

Maybe she rolled nat 20's in the former, but nat 1's in the latter.

[@IcyAngels452]

Honestly the deleted scenes show the movie that we should've gotten. Not only do we get all of the Elsa stuff, but Anna's role as queen is better foreshadowed through the use of the song "Home", where she sings about how much she loves Arendelle and wants to give its people more. That could've been a point of debate for her when they have to flood the fjord. Also, Kristoff was supposed to propose (well, Anna does actually, but either way they get engaged) at the beginning of the movie. Kristoff was going to have an internal conflict about how he didn't enjoy his life in Arendelle because the royal life doesn't suit him. It made Anna question whether or not they should get married.

[@tomnorton4277]

Well fuck, I think we can blame the higher ups at Disney for that. Jennifer Lee clearly cares about Frozen - it's her baby and it made her name - but since Disney is full of corrupt arseholes who don't know shit about writing, I suspect they restrained her from telling the full story.

[@StargazerAeons]

To clarify: Anna 100% knew her sister was dead while singing "The Next Right Thing." It was the only way Olaf would fade. The song is for Elsa, for Olaf, and for pushing away Kristoff. She is, once again, alone like she was all her life. In her eyes, she has no family again. It's all either been taken from her or she has pushed it away. If you truly are a fan of 'show dont tell', this scene truly does an incredible job at it. Olaf is a catalyst, not the entire reason she is sad.

[@alexhollon7526]

There's show don't tell, then there's showing the wrong hints. Even if that's what it implies, it doesn't matter because it comes off the wrong way, thereby hurting its own moment.

[@StargazerAeons]

@@alexhollon7526 I think the facr few credit where the song came from really is a disservice to it. It was written because one of the writers while the movie was in production lost their young child. I can see how it can be missed upon viewing without that fact and can agree to disagree that the scene displays it wrong, but after knowing this...it really changed that entire scene even without thinking of Elsa.

@@alexhollon7526 Olaf literally says "The magic in me is fading. I don't think Elsa is okay, I think she may have gone too far." That seems like pretty clear indication that something bad happened to Elsa and it makes sense that it would lead Anna to believe her sister was dead.

[@spuzzfipple951]

@@StargazerAeons Which 90% of the general movie going public wouldn't know anyway, so that's not much of an argument. The scene could've easily been fixed if Anna just gave a choking whisper or wide-eyed realization acknowledging Elsa's death rather than just seemingly being sad for Olaf.

Dude, I think the reason why they needed to point out the unsurprising twist of the parents drowning was because Anna and Elsa needed closure about their parents once and for all. Sometimes, when people you care about go missing and are probably dead, there’s a part of you that will always need to see evidence of your missing loved one’s fate before moving on. They did it because they HAD to be sure. Because they needed closure. They needed to see for themselves that their parents were really dead. If they hadn’t, it would’ve eaten them up from the inside for the rest of their lives. Basically, they showed that shipwreck scene not for the audience’s benefit, but rather for Elsa and Anna’s benefit. So that they could get closure and move on.

I agree with NC that this movie feels clumsier and less fulfilling than the first. However, I think a lot of the popularity might have to do with how much it resonates with people experiencing grief. I'd argue that grief is the subplot of the whole movie for both sisters, although it's a little clearer to witness with Anna. Both sisters never had closure over the loss of their parents, so I feel that part of the reason Elsa starts her journey, which Anna follows on, is to learn more about her parents and their fate, and to feel closer to them. This is part of the reason why the boat is placed in the movie, so they can have some closure about their parents death. I also want to point out, though it looks like several people have already, that Anna's song of grief is not about Olaf, but rather because his death indicates that Elsa may have died too. Elsa has become the most important person in the world to Anna, so much so that she refuses to leave her side. The song is her realizing that she is alone in this world now, and needs to figure out how to live her own life without her sister. My mother recently passed away and I have heard the phrase "Do the next right thing" multiple times in grief counseling. It is a mantra given to the grieving in the early days so they know how to get through each day, until they develop a new normal. It is no coincidence that Anna's song is called "The Next Right Thing". She feels lost without Elsa, without her parents, even to a far lesser extent without Olaf, and she needs this mantra to help her move forward on her own. It is rare for a children's movie to tackle the uncomfortable subject of grief, and I think that Frozen 2's open and honest portrayal of some of the emotions and confusion of grief is part of why it has gained so much popularity.

I kinda like what they did with Ana. It was mentioned that Ana now sticks to Elsa like glue, but considering the events from the first movie, it makes sense. Elsa wasn't a part of a good chunk of Ana's life growing up and was, for the most part, fighting for Elsa to come back. Now that she is in her life I think it's only natural that Ana wants to keep Elsa as close to her as she can. Which leads to the point about Ana's solo song. I'm pretty confident that Ana isn't singing to/about Olaf, but about losing Elsa for good (to her knowledge) and trying to find the strength of having to move forward on her own without her sister around. Which of course helps her accept Elsa leaving and now having to rule Arendelle on her own.

[@7snowdog]

Exactly. As the director said, in the first movie Anna had everything to gain, in the second one she had everything to lose.

[@sergejcvetkovic9805]

She already knew that the Dam needed to be destroyed. Though she sent the message to Anna, knowing that for when the dam is destroyed, Elsa will be unfrozen. She Knew, that if the dam had fallen, a massive flood would head towards Arendelle. Also, I don't know how she wouldn't know where to go to stop the flood, after taking a look at the map, during the shipwreck scene. But okay, her outrunning the flood is pretty confusing, but it's like other movies don't make random people move at the speed of light, only to arrive to their destination in the blink of an eye.

In my opinion, Anna's song was more about the loss of Elsa than it was Olaf. Not to say she didn't care about Olaf's death, but it meant that her sister was gone as well. After following Elsa the entire film, she lost her anchor and a large part of her identity.

[@JYJnKumi]

Anna’s arc is more about letting Elsa do her thing and that she doesn’t need Anna’s protection. It’s like the clingy parent learning to let go of their kid because it’s what best for both of them.

[@TheDoRoBouNeko]

Let me enlighten you. Anna said it herself. Elsa was a gift from the spirits of the enchanted forest because their mother saved their father, an enemy of her tribe. Also, it’s obvious that the spirits bet on their offsprings, the royal descendants of that tyrant that built the problem of the forest in the first place, to destroy the dam when the time comes. And from that we can conclude that the spirits waited for Elsa to calm down before calling to her. That’s why they weren’t there in the first movie. Who would want to put the burden of the truth on the shoulders of an already emotionally and mentally unstable person? They probably sweated so much when these two went through a near-death experience in the first movie. Lol. XD

@@davebautista2027 Yeah and people aren't really born with 50 ft hair. Tangled still went with it and nobody cared. (Yes, it was because of the sun or whatever but that still doesn't explain things, and I know the show goes more into it, but since they're technically two separate entities, I'm going to ignore it. Besides, a movie shouldn't make you have to watch/read something else to understand it) Like the Critic said, the OG Frozen sacrificed logic and stretched plausible deniability to tell a story and focus on the emotions. AKA, it was trying to be a classic fairy tale. When you go back to watch Cinderella, do you wonder where the Fairy Godmother came from? No, because it's a fairy tale. When you go back to watch the Little Mermaid, do you wonder where mermaids came from? Or how they somehow understand english like the land people? No, because it's a fairy tale. Crazy logic is just kinda how fairy tales work. A moon that eats children who stay out too late? Makes sense! So how is it fair to not care about the magic systems and logic in those movies but suddenly it's not fair to not care about the magic systems in this movie? Plus the "dont like it dont watch it" argument is so dumb. You can want a continuation of the story you love or the characters you love without needing/wanting to know about Elsa's powers.
