Disney created Elsa, the Ice Queen, who was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen. This new blond female at the end, who owns the ice cream shop, is the original Snow Queen. So yeah, I thought it was great the creators decided to have the classic Snow Queen and the new Disney Ice Queen clashing, and it’s wicked cool!!! No pun intended!!! Enjoy!!!

I don't know if you could tell but there's a deleted scene between Snow being approached as mayor and fixing the generator; it's one of my favourites between her and Regina

Next to Regina, the White Queen is probably my favorite sympathetic antagonist in the show. Big fan of Elizabeth Mitchell who gave quite the performance in this role.

White Out- Thank you so much for your reaction for another great episode from season four's Frozen arc!! I really love this episode overall, mostly for the present day storyline between Hook and David working together to save Emma from being trapped in the ice wall with Elsa, as well as for Emma and David helping Elsa to find it in herself to save them and to regain control over her magic. First... one of my favorite moments in this episode is between Emma and Hook, as Hook jokes with her about their non dates and attempts to convince her to go out on a real one with him. They're so adorable together and I just adore Hook's humor, smugness, and of course... his smolder. Lovely. :) Second... I absolutely love Killian's soft side, when he shows real emotion such as fear, sadness, and most of all... how he shows how much he truly loves Emma as he shows all throughout this episode, and in the end when he's finally able to help Emma climb out from within the wall and immediately embraces her firmly with relief, then lovingly picks her up into his arms to carry her off so he can help make her warm again. So beautiful. And then... I also really love the moment when David is telling Anna in the past storyline about his father and how he died, and why David is so adamant about not fighting back against Bo Peep and her small army. It's a very emotional scene and again... Josh Dallas acts so beautifully in this scene. You can really feel the emotion coming from him. Such a sad tale. Also... I love that this show touches on the subject of alcoholism too. It's definitely a tough subject to address, and it was really well done within this episode. Now, speaking of Bo Peep... I have to admit that when it was first revealed that Bo Peep of all people was made into a villain for Once Upon a Time... I was shocked and honestly, not too impressed with her. And most people from what I've heard since this episode first aired, don't like her character at all. She's not great, but to me, she isn't terrible. She has her moments. By the end of this episode, I realized I kind of like her somewhat despite how others feels about her. She isn't great by any means, and definitely worth being in only one episode, and yet Bo Peep is a little fiery and funny at times. I never would have thought a nursery rhyme character like Bo Peep could have ever been made a villain, but once again... Once Upon a Time succeeded in not only creating an interesting character, but also in casting the right actress to play her as well. She's not at all the kind of character you would picture to be Bo Peep, but for me... she strangely works a little bit. But with that being said... Bo Peep's storyline within this episode is definitely the weakest storyline throughout the episode. I like her better in her brief scene in Storybrooke between her, David, and Hook inside her chop shop. Now... I really love the overall past storyline between David and Anna, and boy was it different to see Charming, before he becomes Charming of course, with such long hair. And I have to say that I was a bit surprised that it was Anna of all people who was the person who not only taught David how to fight, but who also helped to make him the man we love him as today. And yet... it also works really well for me and Anna is pretty amazing in this episode. I really love how she is the one who not necessarily teaches David just about how to swordfight, but that her lessons are more about how he must fight for what he loves in order to survive if he has any hope of living. And I really love this lesson throughout this episode. It could be said about every one of us as people. We must fight for what we believe in and love in order to live. Quite a powerful sentiment. Like I said in my comments before... I love how perfect Elizabeth Lail is in the role of Anna especially, just as I love Georgina Haig as Elsa and Scott Michael Foster as Kristoff, who was sadly not in this episode. However, I love that David right away knew Anna, or Joan rather, was Kristoff's fiancée and I love that Kristoff and David were friends before this storyline too. I really would love to see their friendship established and brought more into another episode. Oh... and I love that Anna taking on her fake name of Joan... comes from the moment in the Disney movie, Frozen, when Anna talks to the painting of Joan of Arc on the wall of their palace during her song she sings in the beginning of the movie... For the First Time and Forever. I also love Joan of Arc. For me... she's the historical figure I admire more than any other. Fabulous!! :) And then... David at last stands up to Peep and her men, and wins after a brief, yet exciting sword battle in which even Bo Peep herself fights too, saving himself, his mother, their farm, and Anna from the warlord too. It does seem strange and feels off that David would be able to beat Peep and her two soldiers after only a single day of lessons. However, I didn't take it too seriously, which allowed for me to enjoy it that much more. As for the present day storylines... I really love each of the scenes between Emma and Elsa while they're trapped together inside the ice wall. These women act well off of one another very well and I like how Emma soon came to see that Elsa created the ice wall out of fear and couldn't actually control her powers despite Elsa trying to be threatening. I also love seeing Hook and David work together throughout the episode to find those who can help them save Emma, as well as Elsa once David realizes who Elsa and Anna are. I enjoy the brief scene between them in Gold's shop with Gold and Belle, as well as I love the scene between David, Hook, and Bo Peep in the present day, inside her Chop Shop. Next... I also really love Henry's drive to help make Regina feel better, and while he's depressed for most of the episode because Regina isn't able to face him for awhile after what happened between her and Robin, I love the brief scene between them in the end too, as Henry refuses to let her push him away any longer. I also enjoy the silly side storyline with Mary Margaret as she takes up the role of Mayor for now, as she works to try to get the power back up. And I think it's hilarious how she finally breaks down and yells at Grumpy, Happy, and Granny for all their bickering. Very funny. Oh... and baby Neal is so cute!!!! :) As for David's encouragement towards Elsa to help give her the courage and strength she needs to break a whole through the ice wall to save herself and Emma, just like he knew Anna would do if she were there... I love it. Another strong and powerful moment, as well as touching. I love the scene with Hook, Emma, Henry, David, Elsa, and Mary Margaret in the end. I love that Hook helps Emma to get warm by wrapping her up in blankets and turns the heater on her once the power comes back on. I love how comforting and loving he is towards her. And Henry too when he offers to make his mom hot cocoa and states he refuses to go down a second mother, like he fears he's done with Regina. I also really like how David helps Elsa by showing her Peep's shepherd's crook so they can try to find Anna, and yet that they only discover she's simply alive upon hearing her heart beating through the crook's power. I also love how David tells her that the Charming family doesn't eve like to give up trying to help people. And lastly... a new mysterious character has been introduced in the very last scene of the episode, as Grumpy buys himself some ice cream from the town's ice cream shop and the woman who owns it. And surprise, surprise... she has icy magic too, just like Elsa. Interesting. Yes... Elizabeth Mitchell, best known for her role in Lost, has come to Storybrooke as the Snow Queen from Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale. I've seen this actress in many shows and movies too, and sometimes she's really good, and other times, her characters can annoy me too. However, she's really phenomenal as this new apparent villain. I'm excited for you to get to know her. :) Thank you again, so much! Your reaction for this episode was fun to watch. I really love the overall themes throughout this episode, teaching us to fight to live and not simply to survive. It's beautiful and powerful too. :) Until the next episode...

Loved your reaction, again! Genuinely my favourite reactor on KZbin. You’re always so lovely, so positive and give great insights into the shows you watch. I was so excited to see Elizabeth Mitchell show up in Once, Juliet is my absolute favourite character in Lost (with Sun too) and she’s a wonderful actress. V was cut criminally short. 🥺 Her character in this, which I will not name, is one of my favourites and the Frozen ‘arc’ is so well done. Thank you, as always; for your great videos! X

This episode finally explained the question that bugged me from season 1. Where did the shepherd David learn how to fight.

@terohietamies9441 4 жыл бұрын

Elsa is the Ice Queen and the other is Snow Queen from H. C. Andersen's Snow queen story. Snow Queen was inspiration to Frozen.

@elevenmoons4020 4 жыл бұрын

I don’t think it’s too much of a spoiler to say this but the woman at the end is the snow queen. The snow queen is a story by Hans Christian Andersen which heavily influenced frozen because in the original script/story Elsa was meant to be the villain. Even the characters names come from it, as I said the authors name is Hans Christian Andersen (hans kristoff anna sven). Tbh I think it will be more fun for you to not know the story of the snow queen. Also - fun fact the reason that anna called herself ‘joan’ is a tie-in to when anna was singing ‘do you wanna build a snowman?’ she was singing about all the activities that she’s been doing in the castle and one of them was talking to the pictures on the walls. There’s a scene where anna points to a painting and says ‘hey joan’.

Of course Emma and Elsa related one is a blond first of a royal family with powers no one told her about and the other was locked in her room for 13 years.

There is another ice queen in fairytale which 'Frozen' based off of... But the queen was a villain. You should try to find a story titled: 'The Snow Queen'. Its about a cursed mirror... I actually listen to the audio story of The Snow Queen to help me sleep because of my insomnia... and that is why it's hard describe the story because I happen to fall asleep as soon as I hear the part about the mirror. And if you try to find that story you might see that there is a kind of refection in the show. And yes the "refection" pun was intended

I was so happy this episode leaned away from making Elsa the villain *_AND_* antagonist to the group. Somehow I knew "Juliet" was going to be the response.

Yes, the snow Queen! I had't love a witch as i love her, since Cora. About Mary Margaret (or everyone else) governing the town: there is only one queen. We love our queen and we want her on the throne
