“Home” Storyboard from Frozen II! Thank you for watching!
Step aside, Belle…Anna’s “Home” reigns supreme.
I'm kind of obsessed with the concept of all the Disney characters living in casual harmony with each other. Anna's pal is Anastasia who lives just down the road, Rapunzel draws in the town square sometimes, etc. I guess that's just Disney World, right?
This took about a month for me to make from concept start to finish. I had written out an initial “script” with important beats I wanted to capture in the video, and I hope that came through on your end!
Something I really wanted to emphasize here was the parallel between “Home” and Iduna’s lullaby. More particularly, the line, “Come my darling homeward bound” and how it applies to both daughters and is ultimately advice from one queen to another. For Elsa, homeward bound was Ahtohallan. But for Anna, homeward bound means her home in Arendelle. Hence, the title, “Home.”
An underscored message I incorporated here is my own personal theory: I think that Elsa is dead. Before you call me crazy…Iduna says, “all is lost then all is found,” foreshadowing that only after Elsa loses her life will she become the fifth element. In Frozen 1, the “act of true love will thaw a frozen heart” theme is emphasized and that is how Anna is thawed. Well, no one saved Elsa. The act of breaking the dam was done with the mindset that Elsa WASN’T coming back. Anna’s whole number is about doing the next right thing despite being alone. Also in the beginning, when playing “Enchanted Forrest” little Elsa is playing with a snow angel riding on a horse. At the end of the movie, we get that iconic shot of Elsa, wearing all white, with those two flappy capes flying behind her on her water horse. Subtle, but I see you, Disney. Besides, when Anna and Elsa are reunited, Anna asks “is it really you?” And Elsa changes the subject because it ISN’T really her. I’m pretty sure this is the main reason why she abdicates the throne in favor of Anna. Because Elsa literally CANNOT be queen anymore.
So while this is just my own theory and not canon, I still didn’t let Elsa interact with anyone other than the main squad. She isn’t in any shots at the chapel, and the only person who sees her off is Anna. She isn’t dancing through the night with the kingdom, and the last trace we see of Elsa is the northern lights coming from the Enchanted Forrest.
