Shameless self reblog

The 13th post: More than a Disney Prince

“Hans is a prince. He is a Disney Prince, but he’s more than a Disney Prince. He is many things. And there are a lots of secrets and twists and turns that we take with Hans.” “A lot of the scenes I recorded did not end up in the movie” Santino Fontana on Hans.

From Admiral Westergaard to Prince Hans of the Southern Isles

As you will already know, Frozen is an adaptation from the tale “The Snow Queen” by danish author Hans Christian Andersen. Disney had been trying to adapt “The Snow Queen” for decades. Different ideas were developed and a lot of changes were made in the process (you have a really interesting post about Frozen’s development by @greatqueenanna here).

We know that at some point, when Elsa still was a villain, the idea for Hans’ character was a nameless “Admiral Westergaard”, who was Anna’s love interest.

Evil Elsa deleted scene

Elsa was then changed, from a villain to a villain who had a redemption thanks to Anna, while Admiral Westergaard became a surprise villain.

Fast-forward to the final act: Elsa creates an army of snow monsters to attack our heroes while Kristoff has “a Han Solo moment” and comes to help Anna. To halt Elsa’s attacking army, the two-faced Prince Hans triggers a massive avalanche — not caring that the avalanche also puts Anna, Elsa and all of Arendelle in jeopardy. Anna realizes Elsa is their only hope, so she convinces her to use her powers to save the kingdom (…) Elsa’s heart is then unfrozen allowing her to love again.

At some point, Admiral Westergaard was changed to Prince Hans of the Southern Isles. This is a strange change for a villanous character if you ask me: they not only made him a Disney prince by birth, but also gave him the first name of the author of the original tale. Besides, keeping in mind that the names of the main characters in Frozen are meant to be a Hans Christian Andersen reference (Hans Kristoff Anna Sven), prince Hans would somehow be the most important, because he’s the one who was given the author’s first name. Makes sense, doesn’t it?

Oh, but maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Besides this, there is the fact that the kingdom’s name, Arendelle, is based in the norwegian town of Arendal. The isles located south of Arendal are, in real life, Denmark. And Hans Christian Andersen was danish. So they gave prince Hans not only the name but also the nationality of the author.

Also a coincidence?

Disney gave us a huge, very important clue with the Frozen Fever map.

This picture was originally posted by @wrath-of-zirro. A lot to analyze here.

On the top left corner there is a map of real Arendall with Denmark on the south; and the Frozen Fever map on the right. It is clear “The Southern Isles” are the danish isles of Fyn and its surroundings.

Map of real life Denmark with Fyn (Funen) in red from Wikipedia. Compare to The Southern Isles in the Frozen Fever map.

Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, capital city of Fyn.

In the bottom of the picture we see the Egeskov Castle in Fyn, whose tower reminds of the one we see in The Southern Isles in the Frozen Fever map. It looks like it the castle was still under construction in the Frozen Fever map (there are 13 princes, so they need a huge castle I guess!). It’s quite hard to me to think all of this is just a coincidence.

But that is not the only Andersen reference. Hans having twelve older brothers reminds of Andersen’s tale The Wild Swans. That tale is about a princess who has eleven older brothers. The princess is named Eliza, which reminds of Elsa and, not unlike her, she is taken for a witch and is almost killed for that reason.

It is also known that Disney planned to make a movie about the danish author’s life which started developing in the 1940s (the same time period in which they started trying to adapt The Snow Queen).

That project was later abandoned. Nevertheless, Disney has adapted many of the danish author’s tales.

So… could it be that when Frozen was finally made, the creators decided to pay homage to the danish author by making him a Disney Prince?

But wait… there is more.

Thanks to @thelittlehansy I knew Hans Christian Andersen himself appeared as an animated character in an episode of The Little Mermaid animated series, called “Metal Fish”. So, if Disney already had an animated character design for H.C. Andersen, and Prince Hans was a tribute to the author, it would make sense they would look alike, wouldn’t it? They just had to redesign the character to make him look young, regal and handsome. Let’s have a look at how did the animated version of the danish author look like. I found the episode in swedish language on Youtube:

Part 1

Part 2

They look pretty similar to me. Ginger, big nose, large chin, with sideburns, wears a vest and, in the last scene, a tailcoat. Even the fringe is similar. If you still think all of this is a coincidence I have to disagree. As the Duke would say: The can be no doubt now.

Frozen Fandom: But that’s not posible! Making the author a villain, not very important for the story, and the center of silly jokes?! That would be so disrespectful!

Well, I have spent two years trying to prove Frozen makes perfect sense withouth Hans being a bad guy. Santino Fontana said a lot of the scenes he recorded weren’t finally included in the movie, so it’s safe to think we miss a lot of information about the character. The movie is not badly written; it’s too well written in fact: the plotholes are part of the plot.

Frozen Fandom: But Hans is the villain!! He plotted a whole plan to take over the kingdom, took advantage of Anna’s vulnerability, leave her to die when she needed him the most and let’s not forget almost decapitate Elsa after lying to her about her sister’s death.

*Sighs in frustration* All you can accuse Hans of is being a jerk to a dying Anna, being in a very stressfull, life-or-death situation. But let’s deny these accusations one by one.

Lying to Elsa about Anna’s death: Technically, he wasn’t lying, as Anna was dying because of ice magic and Hans though (because of Anna’s own words!) Elsa willingly attacked her.

Almost decapitated Elsa: Already explained in the 11th post of this analysis.

Leave Anna to die: Hans was sure there was nothing he - or anyone else - could make to save Anna, and let’s not forget the overall situation: people in the kingdom was in inminent risk of dying because of the winter (remember the Duke’s words: if we don’t “do something” ( = kill Elsa) soon, we all will freeze to death), and he was really shocked (see 9th post of this analysis) to know Elsa had attacked Anna.

Plotted a whole plan to take over the kingdom: The only evidence for this is his own “villain monologue”, which I don’t think we should take seriously for reasons already explained in the 9th and 12th posts. Telling Anna he wanted to marry her and then arrange “a little accident” of Elsa is more him being a jerk than confessing an evil scheme.

Took advantage of Anna’s vulnerability: I have to disagree. I think he manipulated her a bit, but not all of the time. If we look at their “date” from an objective point of view, we realize that for the most part he was just being friendly. Dancing, taking a walk, eating something is not something particularly romantic.

There were not ardent love expressions, he didn’t even tell Anna he loved her. Can we really say he “seduced” her? The shoulder bump is romantic? It’s more a friendly gesture, that is coded later in the saga as a “sibling thing”.

We are led to see the scene in a subjective way, through Anna’s eyes. But if we rewacht the scene from an objective point of view, all we see is a friendly interaction.Things don’t get really “romantic” until “Love is an Open Door”. And let’s not forget it’s Anna who begins it and this is Hans’ first reaction:

Then he basically plays along with her, and at the end of the song - when he proposes to her - that’s where the manipulation begins.

Another reason against Hans being a villain would be his facial expressions. He only has facial expressions that could be labeled as villainous in a few scenes (already explained in previous posts). I find it very telling that when he sentences Elsa to death, creators chose to give us a close-up of his face expressing sadness - when a smirk would be more fitting, since this happens after the betrayal scene. It’s like they wanted to tell the audience: “No, Hans is not happy to sentence Elsa to death; he is devastated”.

Frozen Fandom: He`s faking to the Duke and the dignataries.

It could be, but it’s unusual for Disney characters to fake to the audience. Gaston makes villanous expressions since he first appears, so the audience can easily identify him as a villain… but everyone in the town think he’s a great guy!

And Mother Gothel… think how interesting would it be if the audience wasn’t given the backstory at the beginning of Tangled. But still in that case, we would be able to analize her expressions and realize they are different from those of a worried parent.

Frozen Fandom: well, so who do you think is the villain then?

Simple: there is no real villain in Frozen. But there are two fake villains. This pair.

Before we continue we have to make the following question: who is this Elsa?

But was she the cursed princess to be saved, or the wicked witch to be vanquished? And what was his role in this story? (A particular understanding, by @fasadi)

Elsa: A witch in distress

While most of the audience identifies Elsa as a princess, making Frozen a “two princesses movie”, this is only half truth. Anna is “the princess” and real protagonist in Frozen, while her sister shares some traits with other kind of classic Disney characters. Let’s see: Elsa…

Is older than the princess

Has magical powers

Lives isolated

Has a position of power (she’s the princess heir and becomes the Queen)

Wears heavy make up

Wears purple clothes (her coronation cape) and uses purple eyeshadow

Curses the princess and the kingdom

Her actions have a huge impact on the plot

Has a great (villain) song

Is (almost) killed by the prince

The 13th Disney princess shares these characteristics with these ladies:

From my point of view, the Evil Queen from Snow White is the one that has had the biggest influence in Elsa’s look. I found the following description of the Evil Queen on the Disney fandom wiki very fitting for Elsa:

“From the outside, the Queen appears to be calm, regal, and sophisticated, but in reality, this collected and stately facade hides an extremely sadistic, hateful, cold and sinister person” (Elsa’s facade is similar and also hides her real self) “The Queen is an icily beautiful woman with a serene, unfeeling face and a slender figure. She has pale skin, red lips, green eyes, and seemingly penciled-on eyebrows”

They both wear a long cape with a pendant. You can’t really blame the Duke for thinking Elsa was “a wicked witch conspiring to destroy us all”, can you? After all, this is a fairy tale. There has to be a witch!

(Full comic here. A very fun comic showing Hans has all the traits of a classic Disney Prince. I’d love to see something similar with Elsa as a classic Disney Witch!).

At the end of the day, Elsa mortally attacked her sister and almost killed her whole kingdom because she had a massive anxiety attack. But even if she is, technically, a Disney witch and the villain of the movie (in the sense her actions are those of a villain) Elsa is not evil. Her thoughts, feelings and motivations are very different of those of a villain. She can’t control her powers and feels unable to cope with the problems she has created, so her response is to run away.

This learned helplessness makes her another classic character: the damsel in distress. Elsa has to be saved from those who want to kill her to end the eternal winter and save the winter. She is first saved by Hans, who risked his own life entering the Ice Castle to save her from the Weselton guards and was able to stop her with a sentence that basically meant “I trust you” (whole analysis in the 7th post) and later saved by Anna. And, just like Hans saved Elsa from killing two men, Anna saved Hans from killing Elsa.

But, just because the audience “knows” Elsa they fail to identify her as the witch of this tale. They fail to understand that the Duke’s reaction and prejudices against Elsa were, in fact, quite logic and understable. They fail to understand that (almost) everyone in Arendelle feared Elsa and wanted her dead, so the curse disappeared. The audience has all the information they need to realize Elsa meant no harm but… do the audience has all the information they need to understand Hans’ character, and his sudden change at the end of the movie? I’m pretty sure we miss essential information.

Remember my interpretation of the gloves parallel in the analysis of the betrayal scene? One glove off = fake villain reveal. Now look at the Hans and Elsa dolls. “Hero and villain” series, and there are TWO sets of dolls. The first one: Elsa as the Snow Queen (hero), Hans in his fake villain reveal clothes (villain). The second one: they are in their coronation clothes, Elsa as a Queen who is secretly a witch (villain), Hans as the perfect Disney prince (hero). And the looks of complicity are very obvious.

And if Prince Hans’ inspiration was the danish author himself, is there some real life woman behind Elsa?

The answer is Yes.

Hans Christian Andersen’s inspiration for the Snow Queen was the most important of his (long) list of imposible loves.

Jenny Lind

Johanna Maria “Jenny” Lind (6 October 1820 – 2 November 1887) was a Swedish opera singer, often called the “Swedish Nightingale”. One of the most highly regarded singers of the 19th century, she performed in soprano roles in opera in Sweden and across Europe, and undertook an extraordinarily popular concert tour of the United States beginning in 1850. She was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music from 1840.

Yes, I know she doesn’t look like Elsa. But still, she was the inspiration for the Snow Queen, and Elsa is inspired on the Snow Queen, so… she somehow “is” Elsa.

From Wikipedia:

She toured Denmark where, in 1843, Hans Christian Andersen met and fell in love with her. Although the two became good friends, she did not reciprocate his romantic feelings. She is believed to have inspired three of his fairy tales: “Beneath the Pillar”, “The Angel” and “The Nightingale”.[4] He wrote, “No book or personality whatever has exerted a more ennobling influence on me, as a poet, than Jenny Lind. For me she opened the sanctuary of art.”[4] The biographer Carol Rosen believes that after Lind rejected Andersen as a suitor, he portrayed her as The Snow Queen with a heart of ice.

One of his stories, “The Nightingale”, was written as an expression of his passion for Jenny Lind and became the inspiration for her nickname, the “Swedish Nightingale”.[46] Andersen was often shy around women and had extreme difficulty in proposing to Lind. When Lind was boarding a train to go to an opera concert, Andersen gave Lind a letter of proposal. Her feelings towards him were not the same; she saw him as a brother, writing to him in 1844: “farewell … God bless and protect my brother is the sincere wish of his affectionate sister, Jenny”.[47] It is suggested that Andersen expressed his disappointment by portraying Lind as the eponymous anti-heroine of his Snow Queen.[48]

So, to sum up this very long post:

Hans and Elsa

Who people think they are

Who they really are

Conclusion

So… if I’m on the right track, and Disney created Prince Hans’ character as a tribute to Hans Christian Andersen, wouldn’t it make sense they planned to give him the happy ending he did not have in real life?

Time to analyze the Helsa hints…but that will be in a next post.

First post of these series here.

Listen guys...

What if the red-haired girl in the trailer is actually Elsa’s and Anna’s lost sister? I mean it might bee farfetched but think about it - she has powers and Elsa has powers. What if Anna has powers too but hasn’t just got her them yet for some reason - I could see her as the spirit of spring or summer, since Elsa is obviously Winter and this new girl seems to be Autumn. And well, there are definitely symbols that would read as the four seasons in the poster snowflake and in the trailer.

What if something happened in their childhood and their sister was thought to be dead or abducted or something - maybe she showed dangerous powers before Elsa and therefore their parents sent her away to “be trained” or whatever with the trolls or others who were capable to teach her and for their own safety, they wiped both Anna’s and Elsa’s memory of her? And before the sister was in good enough control, their parents died hence why they wouldn’t remember her? 

But then “ Elsa starts to hear a strange sound from the north calling her.” What if her magical powers match to those of their sister and she’s calling her? I mean am I not the only one who’s seeing her resemblance to Anna and I think she’s too old to be here daughter in Frozen 2. I mean it could be, who knows.

ANOTHER MORE POSSIBLE (AND MY #1) THEORY. What if that girl is Gerda and the boy is Kai? Like in the original HC Andersen book “The Snow Queen”? Frozen #1 would’ve been a prequel to the actual “book adaptation”. Kinda. Sorta. Disneyfied.

Long story relatively short: There is an evil troll who has made a mirror that distorts the appearance of everything it reflects. While trying to carry it to heaven, it slips from their hands, breaks and the splinters travel around the world, FREEZING THEIR HEARTS (”beware the frozen” heart anyone????) and basically making them act like dicks.

Gerda and Kai have been friends for a long time, living as neighbors and playing together. One day the splinters get to Kai and make him aggressive and cruel. “The only beautiful and perfect things to him now are the tiny snowflakes that he sees through a magnifying glass.” (Wikipedia quote bc i couldn’t have said it better). 

Lotsa things happens, Kai gets taken by the Snow Queen who makes him forget Gerda etcetc. (and obivously this isn’t Elsa, but the big TROLL we see in the trailer who made the mirror!!!) and meets Gerda too, eventually Gerda takes in on an adventure to save Kai after hearing that he’s held in the princess’ palace and eventually defeats the Snow Queen’s spell.

“When Gerda reaches the Snow Queen's palace, she is halted by the snowflakes guarding it” --> in the trailer we see snowflakes or whatever those arrow thingies are in the front of Elsa’s and Anna’s castle, COINCIDENCE? I think not! And the water horse in the trailer kinda reminds me of the art of the book too though they were more like... ice/blizzard horses (and in the book Snow Queen’s sled was mentioned to be drawn by something that looked like hens soo...?)

All I’m saying that either this girl is actually Gerda (which, now that I think of it, makes a bit more sense than the lost sister theory but still) or she’s the lost sister of Elsa and Anna. Or she and the boy are actually Anna’s and Kristoff’s kids which at this point would just be kind of a disappointment. 

“At last she could run no longer, so she sat down to rest on a great stone, and when she looked round she saw that the summer was over, and autumn very far advanced. She had known nothing of this in the beautiful garden, where the sun shone and the flowers grew all the year round.“Oh, how I have wasted my time?” said little Gerda; “it is autumn. I must not rest any longer.”

Lemme know ur thoughts, reblog and reply and whatnot!

[icy-obsession]

okay I feel like this theory is actually worth talking about. Idk I never liked the trolls, I just thought they were foolish and caused a lot of damage, but honestly this makes even more sense. What do others think?

[frozentheoryofficial]

"Elsa's supernatural power" CONCLUSION Elsa was gifted with powers because her Mother(Iduna) saved her enemy(Agnar) from the enchanted Forest that was set to chaos by their grandfather's vision. We believe Elsa held more than just Ice powers. We took a deeper look into Elsa's power and we found out she can bring life to creation that was created by herself. She can withdraw memory from water in any place under any circumstances. She can put the entire world into an eternal winter. She can change her clothes from any form to another. Elsa's powers has consciousness for example how she put the eternal winter accidentally, how her ice is able to protect Elsa from the flying arrow, how Anna's frozen heart was fasten to make her frozen to solid ice to save Elsa and how Olaf's love for Anna is able to slowen Elsa's powers that was struck to Anna's heart. Elsa is capable of changing any state of any molecule to another state how she wanted to be. Just like how she changed the state of her clothes from Frozen I (2013) where she changed the state of the clothes completely to another. Elsa still have many more supernatural power that weren't showed up throughout Frozen franchise. Let me know what you think comment below.

[fadedblack935]

Ok hear me out, so I've been doing a lot of research towards this theory and it is okay if you don't agree with me, but this is what I believe in. And sorry if this offends you in any way.

In my investigative research towards natural elements, Elsa's ice powers is not considered an element but rather a state of matter (Frozen, Liquid, etc.) She is only, as stated in Frozen 2, a bridge between the elemental spirits of nature and people. As assumed in Frozen 2, Elsa is a spirit, but not an elemental.

Which leads to the question, who or what is the Fifth Elemental Spirit? This is the question that I first asked myself, but then after my research, the question that people should ask themselves is rather who or what are the Fifth AND the Sixth Elemental Spirits?

Now here are the theories I have came up with:

1. Samantha, the Forgotten Fifth/Sixth Elemental Spirit Theory: According to Olaf in Frozen 2, he mentions that "Water has memory" and during one of the scenes in the movie Olaf mentions the name "Samantha", twice. Yes I am aware that the name was improvised by Josh Gad himself and there will be people who will disregard this theory entirely. But what if, this "Samantha" was a forgotten elemental sprit from the PAST? And this also leads to one other question, what is her elemental power? According to both science and alchemy, there are two other natural elements other than the standard four elements; Samantha could have either the elemental power of Plasma (Electromagnetism) or Aether (Life Force). But Samantha having the Aether power is highly unlikely and this leads to my second theory.

2. The Mysterious Reindeer King, another Forgotten Fifth/Sixth Elemental Spirit Theory: In the deleted scenes of Frozen 2, a mysterious character appears in the original beginning scenes of Frozen 2 in which Young Agnarr and Young Iduna sees a person with reindeer antlers and shape shifts to a reindeer. In one of the episodes of "At Home with Olaf" YouTube video series, the "Adventure" episode, he mentions to Bruni that, and I quote, "Self-Proclaimed Reindeer King". The ability to shape shift is one of the many powers other than creating living things and universes that a user of the Aether power can use (refer to the Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies Storyline, specifically Dr. Monty and the Shadowman). But there is still possibility that the Reindeer King can have the Plasma elemental power.

In conclusion, we will never know until later on if there will be a Frozen 3, but one hopes, especially me. Many questions are left unanswered and until then they will be unanswered. But theories like these build curiosity and wonder of the lore of the Frozen universe, but let us remember to take these theories with a grain of salt, because it may not be true.

Thank you for reading this essay to its entirety and if you want I can post my Frozen Fanfiction that takes place after Frozen 2 and applies my theories. 😁👍

[a13thprincefora13thprincess]

Thinking about this new character. I have read he goes to Arendelle to apologise for the Duke's behavior in F1.

1. This is a bit strange because, why doesn't the Duke go to Arendelle himself?

2. I think it can be great to revisit the facts in F1. How the Duke wanted to attack Elsa from the start while Hans protected her until Anna came back to Arendelle (and he missinterpreted Anna's words) and how Hans was very likely pushed to "stop" Elsa to save the kingdom. This is important because Anna is unaware of all of this. And we have the Hans-hating fandom, who sees Hans as a sadistic murderer (Real villain) and the Duke as a much more harmless character (Red herring). Revisiting the past and the plotholes in F1 could make a change in the way Hans is perceived.

3. I find the idea of Lord Wolfgang being Hans in disguise so funny. He could grow a beard. He could also dye his hair. Natural hair dyes as henna and indigo were popular in the 19th century.

«the podcast will introduce new characters as well, although whether or not they’ll have some part to play in the eventual Frozen 3 remains to be seen»

And one of them is a relative of the Godforsaken Weselton 😎👽

Gee, Hans fans, just imagine if it's not Hans that would come back in F3, but Weselton of all people with this guy.

[a13thprincefora13thprincess]

@frozen-sunflowersandlilies thank you very much!! Yes it is a very confusing puzzle that's why I say the movie is too well written - you have to consider the untold parts of the story too!!

It was not easy for me to realize all of this - but it has been a fun process go through all of the scenes and discover new details and clues.

I also felt it was necessary to do it like this (analyzing all of the scenes) or it would not be understood.

Who is this Hans? (I)

This will be the first of a series of posts analyzing Prince Hans’ character of Disney’s Frozen. Almost eight years have passed since Frozen was released and the fandom is divided, having very different feelings and views on the character.

Important note: For this analysis I will only consider the movie. I’m leaving the book “A frozen heart” out, since the author Elizabeth Rudnick had absolutely no indication or extra information from the creators when she developed Hans’ backstory and thoughs in the novel. She was just given the script, so she had even less information on the character than the audience, since she allegedly hadn’t watched the movie when she wrote “A frozen heart”.

Villain? Prince?  Unredeemable monster? Redeemable jerk? As Olaf’s question remind us, we don’t really know who Hans is. Unlike the other main characters, we don’t know about his backstory and, more important, thoughs, feelings and motivations during the film. It’s hard to tell, since the Hans we see at the beggining of the movie doesn’t seem the same we see at the end.

It’s even more difficult when you consider Hans’ role in the plot. Usually the villain’s actions affect the plot a lot. In Frozen, they don’t. Hans could have perfectly have kissed Anna, his kiss not working because it was just a crush and not true love, and then decided to kill Elsa as the only way to end the eternal winter curse that was menacing the lives of the whole kingdom.

Considering this, Hans’ villain twist comes out as unnecesary. While many in the fandom like it and even consider Hans one of the best Disney villains, others (myself included) find the “he was evil all along” explanation unsatisfactory. The first group would highlight some “hints” of the southish prince’s evil nature through the movie but, from my point of view, these hints are pretty weak, as they seem to be there only if you’re watching the movie with your “Hans-is-evil” glasses on.

Besides that, the creators of Frozen have repeteadly said it’s not a movie about “good versus evil” but “love versus fear”. Elsa herself was changed from an evil witch to a young queen with magical powers she can’t control quite well. And it works perfectly fine. Adding a “surprise evil villain” seems so out of place.

So let’s begin this analysis with Hans’ voice actor’s input, Santino Fontana:

A Disney Prince, but more than a Disney Prince? He is many things? And no one is really what they seem?

Ok, this doesn’t help much. To be a Disney Prince, he made some wicked stuff in the movie, didn’t he?

Let’s ask the trolls (because, apparently, in Arendelle when people doesn’t know what to do they ask the trolls).

So could this be Hans’ case?

Everyone? So that includes Hans? That’s what’s it’s all about? Do you guys mean the movie?

They said eveyone. So let’s give it a try.

It is possible the events in Frozen to make sense without Hans being evil? Just a classic Disney Prince who was “mad or scared or stressed”? Let’s rewatch Hans’ parts and see if this theory makes sense.

the trolls r the true villains of the frozen film

[frozentheoryofficial]

We might have solved FROZEN'S timeline and turned out to be surprising! But our search for the timeline it's not about it's year or *time* but it's the time of it's universe. Some theories suggest this timeline follow as real life time base on the little mermaid book that was read by Agnar during his teen age in Frozen II when the book was published around ~April, 7 1837~ in real life by Hans Christian Anderson. This said to be base on "that" timeline but somehow we manage to discovered that *Frozen* is from another universe! If Frozen was based on real life timeline then those theories about the book should be confirmed but somehow we found out "Sun was set on North and rise from South" in Frozen unlike real-life time "Sun rise from the East and sets in the West". Could it be a mistake or we have been mistaken the timeline all along? Somehow Frozen is in another universe then that might explain why Frozen timeline is too difficult to calculate.

I can tell it was fun just by reading! The excitement to go into the depths of an analysis. I analysed each room shown to us, of the Arendelle Castle and that was so fun to do so I can imagine that analysing a character's true intention, that's not so easy to see, must be even more fun!

And I'm so glad you did make this analysis because it has opened up many eyes to this twist within a twist. I never saw Hans in such a light. Breaking it down step by step, you start to see it all come together and make sense. And again I say, I think you did an incredible job of bringing this new perspective of Hans to light.

Who is this Hans? (I)

This will be the first of a series of posts analyzing Prince Hans’ character of Disney’s Frozen. Almost eight years have passed since Frozen was released and the fandom is divided, having very different feelings and views on the character.

Important note: For this analysis I will only consider the movie. I’m leaving the book “A frozen heart” out, since the author Elizabeth Rudnick had absolutely no indication or extra information from the creators when she developed Hans’ backstory and thoughs in the novel. She was just given the script, so she had even less information on the character than the audience, since she allegedly hadn’t watched the movie when she wrote “A frozen heart”.

Villain? Prince?  Unredeemable monster? Redeemable jerk? As Olaf’s question remind us, we don’t really know who Hans is. Unlike the other main characters, we don’t know about his backstory and, more important, thoughs, feelings and motivations during the film. It’s hard to tell, since the Hans we see at the beggining of the movie doesn’t seem the same we see at the end.

It’s even more difficult when you consider Hans’ role in the plot. Usually the villain’s actions affect the plot a lot. In Frozen, they don’t. Hans could have perfectly have kissed Anna, his kiss not working because it was just a crush and not true love, and then decided to kill Elsa as the only way to end the eternal winter curse that was menacing the lives of the whole kingdom.

Considering this, Hans’ villain twist comes out as unnecesary. While many in the fandom like it and even consider Hans one of the best Disney villains, others (myself included) find the “he was evil all along” explanation unsatisfactory. The first group would highlight some “hints” of the southish prince’s evil nature through the movie but, from my point of view, these hints are pretty weak, as they seem to be there only if you’re watching the movie with your “Hans-is-evil” glasses on.

Besides that, the creators of Frozen have repeteadly said it’s not a movie about “good versus evil” but “love versus fear”. Elsa herself was changed from an evil witch to a young queen with magical powers she can’t control quite well. And it works perfectly fine. Adding a “surprise evil villain” seems so out of place.

So let’s begin this analysis with Hans’ voice actor’s input, Santino Fontana:

A Disney Prince, but more than a Disney Prince? He is many things? And no one is really what they seem?

Ok, this doesn’t help much. To be a Disney Prince, he made some wicked stuff in the movie, didn’t he?

Let’s ask the trolls (because, apparently, in Arendelle when people doesn’t know what to do they ask the trolls).

So could this be Hans’ case?

Everyone? So that includes Hans? That’s what’s it’s all about? Do you guys mean the movie?

They said eveyone. So let’s give it a try.

It is possible the events in Frozen to make sense without Hans being evil? Just a classic Disney Prince who was “mad or scared or stressed”? Let’s rewatch Hans’ parts and see if this theory makes sense.

Not a big fan of the troll theory here. I am currently making some posts about "the other troll theory" myself.

The trolls are not guilty... but they have the explanation

okay I feel like this theory is actually worth talking about. Idk I never liked the trolls, I just thought they were foolish and caused a lot of damage, but honestly this makes even more sense. What do others think?
