I love how she says "the cold never bothered me anyway" and then when she has the conversation with Anna and gets more stressed she points out that "the air's getting colder." SO IT DOES BOTHER HER. Edit 1: When Anna dances with Kristoff its with fun music and his family, vs when she dances with Hans its purely romantic and alone. I like the dynamic of Hans manipulation vs Kristoff and Anna's natural attraction to one another. Edit 2: Hans says "Her skin was ice, her hair was white." And its makes Elsa think about herself, how what she touches freezes and her white blond hair. He compares Anna's 'dead' state to how Elsa naturally exists. Edit 3: Kistoff is an ICE MAN. HE IS STRONG. In the movie, he is able to spin Anna like she's NOTHING. And yet, when he is about to go KILL Hans, a single touch from Anna stops him. And THATS on true love. Edit 4: when Anna and Elsa hug at the very end, Elsa looks to the sky and Anna looks at Elsa. Elsa hopes her parents are proud of her for fixing things with Anna, controlling her power, and for saving the kingdom, and Anna is just happy to have her sister back.

So I'll repeat myself: mad respect for you guys

Fun fact : When it's the end of a show and the actors are crying, it's because they usually had a blast working with the other people and don't want it to be over. Sometimes you make life long friends 💙

[@hadassah6563]

They built elsa's character a lot better here than the movie.

[@pan.gremlin]

They built everyone’s character better here than in the movie tbh

[@pamspray5254]

I think part of it is because they have the time to expand and the other part is what live theatre brings to the table. I mean- in order to keep the show running they have to focus on the most critical elements that will stay with it - namely the music and script. Everything else can and will change. So if they beef up the script and music to drive the emotion better, it'll carry through in future shows that lack complex sets or a large number of people for the chorus. They also already had the concept thought out, so they basically took the movie, revised it, and turned it into a proper musical. In a movie, a lot of storytelling is done through the environment. It's a move that sometimes leaves characters lacking, especially since mood and environment is subjective. Combine that with nasty deadlines and crunch times and you end up with a sub-par end product that is the end-all be-all film adaptation of the story. I don't know where to end this, but I finished my thoughts.

The creepy glowing eyes of the trolls reminds me of Film Theory's Frozen theory.

The trolls "manipulated" the royal family into thinking Elsa's power is dangerous and they have to supress it, they even scared Elsa into thinking her power is deadly. Sooooo yeah.

[@dustinflowers1914]

To be fair, the Hidden People only tell her that "Fear will be your enemy" and offer their assistance any time. The Royal Family specifically never takes them up on that offer and teaches their daughter to fear herself. Like, that's specifically what they said not to do.

it may be a stretch but perhaps Anna’s transformation after that hug from Elsa was the act of true love. by finally accepting and returning anna’s love, they were both released from their isolation and in elsa’s case, fear. besides, it was like elsa finishing that hug Anna had given her earlier.

[@waffleauflauf4213]

Absolutely. The act of true love was from them both. Anna displayed an act of true love by sacrificing herself, and Elsa reciprocated it, reversing the damage Elsa had inadvertently created. And I never thought of it as Elsa finally returning the hug Anna had tried giving her earlies. That just makes it so much better lol

I loved this so much thank you so much for sharing.

(also love that she’s a woman of color!! #representationmatters)

[@krystalb661]

Right! I think this is the first Elsa I've rooted for because I felt her pain instead of automatically wanting the protagonist to win.

[@helixcheerleader]

I agree - best Elsa, and best Anna, both separately and together because we actually empathize with both of them, and they feel so incredibly real. In the film even though I enjoyed it I didn't find their characters to be particularly likeable for a myriad of reasons but these two are instantly and consistently likeable, so you root for them through thick and thin, rather than because the story calls for it. You actually are invested in them.

[@thelonelywoodstock674]

I love when Anna places her hands on Elsa in order to further communicate her emotions, because it speaks to *both* characters: Elsa puts her hands together so she can't even attempt to touch her sister. She also fiddles with her fingers as if trying to adjust gloves. (It also draws a connection to her misconception of safety and hiding one's self going hand in hand.) Though speaks to both characters, not just Elsa. Case in point, Anna, who is a tactile person. This is possibly due to not seeing many people and wanting to express how much it means for her, an extrovert, to be amoung people again. So going to touch Elsa is very in character for her and speaks to her urge for connection. Meanwhile, Elsa is introverted and, due to trauma, she avoids touch (and therefore connection). So her reaction for put her main magic tools (her hands) together and shy away is completely in character for her. Both women's facial expressions express the urge for connection in different tones, Elsa's tinged with pain in a morose tone while Anna's is more hopeful. The entire scene really highlights the interesting touch=connection and no touch=isolation motif. And to think I didn't like the movie Frozen, only to create a little analysis of a single scene when it's brought to stage due to the extra LAYERS.
