Later, once we decided to do it again, I was also in the singing part and we were this...storyteller? who was keeping company to Gerda and at the same time was invissible to her. I also danced the mirror fragments and that was really cool too! I enjoyed it so much and I am sad that now, because of Covid, nothing like this can be done again...

[@queenkay2014]

Interestingly enough, I was made aware of the true story of The Snow Queen from a game called Lobotomy Corporation. An abnormality in the game shares the same name and can 'kiss' your employees, the first one putting a shard of ice in their chest and the second freezing them in the containment chamber. You then have to send someone to go save them, and if you succeed roses bloom in the unit temporarily. It's super awesome to finally get to know the whole story from this video!

Yaaay missed your videos so much

I'm auditioning for the title role of the musical version of this story. Not Frozen, but a truer-to-the-original adaptation of the Snow Queen in a couple of weeks. I can't wait!

[@abitfrank]

Best of luck!

Hey, sorry it's been so long! Meant to update sooner but the rehearsal schedule messed up my sleep schedule, so . . . Anyways on to the updates! 1) I got cast as Gerda, which I now think is better because she has more stage time and interaction with other characters. 2) NEVER audition for this show! The writers didn't adapt it well, and the music/song writer evidently does not sing, as the notes for the singers are more like instrumentals. 3) We opened on Feb. 7th, and are closing tomorrow, and aside from missing most of the cast, everyone is glad it's almost over! Show has gotten great attendance/reception, despite it being Madri Gras weekend here in the south. Thanks for the well-wishes!

This story sounded so darn familiar, and then I looked around my room, and found out I have the book, but remade so it's a little more suited for kids. This was something I didnt expect to learn today :/

[@johnathan7313]

Love the animation style for your videos, I really like to watch Jaiden animations too and what’s cool is you both have different styles for your animations and I love both of them, keep making great animations. Btw I actually found your channel first!

[@VictoreFloris]

When I was young my father had a large collection of fairytales and folktales from my grandmother. There where 13, each meant for a child of the books number. I made my father read me the Snow Queen every Saturday night when I was over. It was my favorite for years, there was also one I absolutely loved about swans that I can never remember and one about 7 children. Watching these videos just fill me with nostalgia.

[@viktoriabrun6345]

Wait if the one with the swans is from Andersen then its called "The wild swans". it's about 11 sons who turn into swans and the 12th daughter has to turn them back into humans.

[@sunnysorrel]

your voice is so calming and your animation is so great!

[@zestyoranges3164]

I don’t know how or why but your voice is super satisfying to listen to, in a way it makes these stories more interesting (also also all of the illustrations!)

You’re so talented!! I love all these videos

[@carapatel2214]

I’ve seen some theories that Hans in the Disney version is the mirror

[@flippinfloppin]

I remember this story! I had a book of HCA fairytales, and I never was able to completely understand this one bc the wording was hard (and also I was like 11) and so this was great to watch to understand it

[@izzyspell2629]

That feeling when the original story was my favourite fairy tale when I was little and I've seen like three movies. I highly recommend all three of them. Two are not that dark and more happy and the last one is pretty dark. And then there's that newer animated movie I've also seen but I don't really count it cause it was changed and has two continuations which are like ,,Whaaat the- How did you even come up with this?!" But yeah, it's funny that in our country (dunno about you guys) we all know most of the fairy tales in their original version. And we don't really realize it's that creepy. xD We're just used to stories in which evil sisters cut their toes off to get their foot in a slipper, wolf's whose stomachs are cut open and filled with rocks so they would fall in a well when they want water, mermaids whose every step is like walking on thousand knives, who eventually DON'T get a happy ending and turn into...I don't know how it's called in English, sorry xD That's what we normally grow up on, no wonder we're so weird xD

[@egyptianwerewolf1466]

Which country did you grow up in? Cause I grew up in Denmark with the same stories, and I’ve already decided that my future children are gonna grow up with them as well (no, they do not get a choice😊🙂)
