8 Details We Didn’t Notice In Frozen But Are More Meaningful Than We Think

In 2013, frozen won the hearts of many and made the biggest gains at the box office compared to other animated films. Every kid has been singing “Let It Go” ever since, and the hype for Frozen has likely crossed all barriers. It may seem like yet another movie about singing princesses, but if we look deeper, it is carefully thought out and real, which makes it a true masterpiece.

Here in the incredible.club, we did a little research on this blockbuster movie and discovered so many fascinating details that it’s really impossible not to fall in love with it. But beware: spoilers for the first film to come!

It cannot be denied that the characters in Frozen have strong personalities. No one is incredibly perfect, everyone struggles with their own demons, has ambitions and fears – which is why you can’t help but sympathize with them.

Anna is passionate about sweets and food in general, and is so funny and clumsy that it’s impossible not to adore her. She is so like real girls that anyone can identify with her. Open-minded and caring, she maintains her bond with her sister and believes in her more than anyone else.

Elsa has a very complicated personality and has spent her life trying to conform to rules that she could never quite fit. She was raised seeing her strengths as weaknesses and her eccentricity as something that should be shamed, overruled, like many people do these days.

Elsa is a dramatic character who had far more responsibilities than any girl could handle. Her struggle with herself and others was her way of realizing that she’s not alone and that she fits in, which is truly heartbreaking.

Hans is a typical manipulator who “mirrors” anyone he communicates with, behaving differently with different people. With Anna he is funny and playful, and uses the words she wants to hear. He is brave to soldiers, kind to citizens, and malicious to the Duke of Weaseltown.

Hans becoming an evil character is not an irrational twist. He was evil from the start and he not only deceived Anna, he deceived all of us as well.

There are many small details who were really revealing their nature. While singing “I’ve Found My Place” (which in literal translation would be “I found my place”), he doesn’t point to Anna, but to Arendelle. Do you remember that moment when Hans “rescued” Elsa in her castle? He wanted it to look like he saved her, but before he changed the beast’s direction, he noticed the chandelier and knew where to target it to look like a hero, but still kill it.

Elsa was supposed to be evil, but the directors completely changed her personality when they heard the song “Let It Go”. They saw the character from a different perspective and they liked the music so much that they didn’t want to change it. So instead, they changed the character, and that’s how we got our Elsa.

But that’s not just why music is crucial to Elsa — it’s also the exact moment when she comes into her own. Before that, she was constantly striving to be the kind of girl her parents wanted to see — she even dressed and styled her hair just like her mother used to. But when he escapes, he acts authentically.

She sheds the gloves and heavy coronation cloak that symbolize her past and the expectations she was trying to live up to, and that weighed her down as she slowly made her way up the mountain. After getting rid of the “weight”, she starts running towards her future self, changes her dress and does her own hairstyle, and then the new day begins, literally.

Elsa’s powers also reflect her feelings.🇧🇷 When she is confident, she is beautiful and capable of creating amazing things (including living snowmen, castles and dresses). When she is afraid, the opposite happens, and her creations are not so beautiful. When she is lost and desperate, there is a blizzard. At the end of the film, when Hans tells Elsa that Anna has died, the blizzard suddenly stops because Elsa stops feeling anything.

Frozen definitely defies standards, including those Disney has always held to. While there are some clichés in the film, many of them are later challenged and questioned.

The “perfect prince” (Hans) turns out to be evil, and that position goes to Kristoff, who is definitely far from perfect; The strongest characters are from women who show that they can stand up for themselves; Anna definitely lacks “royal perfection” and behaves more like an ordinary girl, and Elsa literally closes the door on the “perfect princess” concept, deciding to be herself instead of submitting to standards.

The film is full of doors, which are barriers that represent isolation, blockade, lack of opportunities. Doors appear and are mentioned very often in the movie, so we’ll only mention the most important ones here.

First, the door to Elsa’s room separated the girls for years and ended the closeness of the sisters. Also, there were the castle gates that locked Anna inside. Elsa closes the door at the end of “Let It Go” and the castle gates slam shut in front of Kristoff as he brings Anna back, thinking he is leaving her for good. Hans also closes the door when leaving Anna to die.

No wonder Anna was willing to open all the doors! Hans and their love was the first “open door” she had, which explains why Anna fell in love so quickly. And yes, that’s exactly what the song is called — “Love Is an Open Door”.

Another symbol is gloves. They appear when Elsa’s father gives her a pair of gloves with the guidance that she “hide, don’t feel, don’t show”, and that’s basically what the gloves mean. They illustrate that there is often something hidden. In Elsa’s case, it was her powers as well as herself. She wore them all the time, trying to fit in and be a good girl, until she escaped. She decided not to hide anymore and took off her gloves.

Surprisingly, Elsa isn’t the only one wearing gloves in the movie. And besides her, the one who wears gloves is… Hans! He wore them throughout most of the film, illustrating that he hid his personality and intentions at all times. The only time he takes them off and shows his true personality is when he reveals his true intentions to Anna. Before leaving the room where he left Anna for dead, he used the gloves again.

Anna and Elsa built Olaf together as children, and he is a symbol of their innocence and love for each other. That’s why he’s so childish and funny! It breaks when Elsa accidentally hits Anna with her powers which causes their separation.

The entire songDo You Want to Build a Snowman🇧🇷 (“Do you want to build a snowman?” in literal translation) is about how Anna wants to restore their closeness, and although it’s heartbreaking, we know that Elsa also wanted to build the snowman all these years. 🇧🇷 and it’s really the first thing she does when she escapes, finally feeling free.

There is also a very important moment in the film when Elsa sees Olaf in his castle, when she realizes that she can create something really good and funny and alive.

The colors reflect the situation, personalities and feelings of the characters. For example, Anna has red hair and usually wears green or “warm” colors, while Elsa’s hair is white and she is always in shades of blue, a cool color, representing “cold”. The sisters’ coronation clothes are actually Arendelle’s national colors: purple and green.

What’s even more interesting is that Elsa’s ice castle changes color according to her mood. It’s blue when she’s calm and happy, red when she’s scared and yellow when she’s angry.

Yes, the movie talks about the love between 2 sisters, but there are even more implicit things that Frozen can teach us:

Kristoff and Anna show us that finding love takes time and effort, and that means overcoming difficulties together and sticking with each other through more difficult times; With Elsa, mental health issues are portrayed. During the coronation, Elsa’s hands shake and she likely suffers from anxiety disorders and panic attacks. However, Elsa is a positive example of someone who does her best, showing that people with mental disorders are not “crazy”; The film is also about self-acceptance and how important it is to be yourself.

From now on, we begin to see the work from a different perspective, since we learn much more about the messages that frozen passes us. Frozen II hits screens in just a few days… Will you watch it with us? Don’t forget to give your opinion in the comments!
