Secrets Of The Past And More Await In Frozen II

Frozen II would have to be my most anticipated animated film of 2019 [14] [23] [24]. Since Frozen became the highest-grossing animated movie of all time back in 2014, it is no wonder that the teaser trailer for its sequel that was released back in February became the most viewed animated film teaser trailer in history within about a few days [14] [20]. Since the hype of Frozen II trailers is increasing, I would firstly like to warn you about certain types of YouTube channels that consist of unofficial movie trailers with titles that are either misleading or long enough to hide the fact that they are not official [10]. I think Frozen II would be their next target. Making a fan-made trailer is fine, but I do not recommend using uncredited movie trailer footage and misleading titles just to get lots of views and make money [10]. That kind of issue has been discussed by Jorge Flores, otherwise known as “blameitonjorge” on YouTube [10]. Aside from the speculation of Frozen II taking place about three years after the first film [14], let us look into what else has been hinted in its third trailer [6] [22], as well as reflecting on what has been revealed in the second trailer [21].

The Japanese Frozen II poster. I can already imagine some cosplayers cosplaying in Elsa and Anna’s Frozen II outfits. [15]

I am not trying to shame anyone for sorting official footage into a fan-made trailer. I just believe that misleading viewers in a way certain fake movie trailer channels do it just to make money without much effort corrupts YouTube’s search algorithm and is not what true movie advertising should be. [10] [15]

Let us start with the new characters that were shown in the teaser back in February. It appears that the brunette girl in eskimo attire that was briefly shown in the new trailer is highly likely to be Elsa and Anna’s mother, Queen Iduna when she was younger [6] [22]. The way she was carrying a baby reindeer that is highly likely to be a younger Sven is adorable. In addition to how one new character is likely to be their mother, we also learn that the blonde lad is definitely their father, King Agnarr before he had them [6] [22]. Details of Agnarr and Iduna’s time in the village’s tribe within the enchanted forest after the wind and fire caused it to be a hidden prison could perhaps explain why Elsa was born with her powers at some point [4] [14]. It was pretty cute and assuming to hear little Anna describe the story Agnarr told her and Elsa as “epic”. It looks like we have finally got a theory of the two new characters out of the way by knowing that they are parental figures when they were younger. Rest in peace, King Angarr and Queen Iduna [4].

King Angarr when he was younger. [15]

As for Angarr and Iduna’s years of raising Elsa and Anna, do you think the northern light Iduna sees in the previous Frozen II trailer has something to do with the wind and fire that corrupted the enchanted forest? [15]

Supposedly, Elsa will be about twenty-four years old in Frozen II [12]. Again, my boyfriend calls me his “ice queen” because of how I deeply relate to Elsa’s character in the first Frozen film [4]. As for what has been revealed in the new trailer for the sequel, she may be determined to not only find out where the voices came from but find more about who she is as she tries to further enhance her ice powers [6] [22]. The way she hears a “voice” and supposedly triggers the series of mysterious diamonds that were first seen in the teaser may lead to some new development, despite Pabbie’s warning about her losing herself to magic in the new trailer [6] [22]. His hope for her powers being “enough for this world” in the second trailer could be a big sign of such development [21]. I wonder what the name of that cute little lizard-like creature that gets a taste of her snow will be? I am hoping to re-experience that feeling to relating to such an iconic, independent and powerful female character once again as I finally watch the film. Anyone up for a reprise of “Let It Go” in the next chapter [4]?

 

These diamonds never bothered Elsa anyway. Hopefully. [15]

Isn’t this new creature in Elsa’s hand cute? [15]

What about Anna, Elsa’s supposedly twenty-one year-old-sister? She at least has some legitimate reasons to follow Elsa in a whole new adventure, managing to save her from her ex-fiancé and surviving a frozen heart in the first film [4] [6] [22]. I can see that there will be some heated arguing between the sisters as she confronts her about how she tried to fight the mysterious fire at some point because…you know…realism [6] [22]. Nevertheless, she is still willing to not let anything bad happen to her as she will still be selfless, caring and courageous. Bless her heart. I would not be surprised if Anna gained her new ability to fight with a sword from Agnarr as his generation of the tribe in the formerly enchanted forest was seen training with swords and shields [6] [22]. Perhaps a scene of her as a teenager training with her father can be direct evidence of her being skilled in fighting with a sword. It would be nice if there ought to be a new version of the song “Life’s Too Short” that did not make it into the outcome of the first Frozen film [16].

“I won’t let anything happen to her.” [15]

By the way, Anna and Kristoff are still so cute together, aren’t they? [15]

And of course, there appear to be some new dangers heading for Arendelle, along with some secrets. What could have caused such strong wind that endangers the lives of villagers [6] [22]? Aside from the pinkish-purple flames that were first seen in the teaser [20], there was a horse-like figure in the ocean Elsa was trying to master a new ability across that appeared in the second official trailer [21]. Looks like the ice queen will have a noble steed as shown towards the end of the third trailer [6] [22]. Those strange rock creatures that look rather monstrous when awake and are briefly seen asleep when Anna rows an ice canoe by them remind me of Marshmellow, the frosted beast who was furious when he was hit by a snowball in the first Frozen movie [4] [6] [22]. Curse one of those rock creatures for scaring poor Olaf, even though they were first shown in the second trailer as pretty constellations [21] [22]! More details on such dangers and new legends await Frozen fanatics in the film’s outcome. Will Arendelle be successfully protected at all costs after Pabbie’s warning?

What are you looking at, Rule 63 Jack Frost?! [15]

This creature looks quite familiar, doesn’t he? [15]

What about the speculation of Elsa getting a girlfriend that has been going on for about a year, thus making her Disney’s first LGBT heroine [7]? I believe I have a theory about the cause of the mighty wind that almost wipes out Arendelle. The same theory can apply to the oddly-coloured fire. I think Elsa’s love interest could be a member of the tribe she and her sister meet who unfortunately struggles to control either of them. I know this theory would not make sense since the dangerous strength of the wind and fire occurred during the younger years of Agnarr and Iduna, but a love interest for Elsa needs to have at least have something in common with her in order for their romance to be convincing. Alternatively, the love interest could be involved in the magic she is amazed at. Furthermore, here comes another theory of mine. Elsa’s possible new girlfriend can magically take on many forms, including the ocean horse and the cute lizard-like creature [6] [22]. Even if there will be no love interest for Elsa, at least she will still know that you cannot marry someone you only just met [4].

If this leads to Elsa having a love interest, I supposed my boyfriend ought to learn this kind of magic to bewitch me. [15]

Any more signs of all-new musical numbers? I have been suspected that music from the previous Frozen II trailers to be a cover of the musical number that played at the beginning of the first film. I can also briefly hear an instrumental version of “Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?” during the part of the trailer when Pabbie advises Elsa to find who is calling out to her. Apart from how I am cool with reprises of songs from the first Frozen film and possibly some new adaptions of certain songs that never made it to its outcome or were exclusive for its broadway adaption from 2017 and 2018 [13] [16], I do believe that some whole new original and well-written songs would be essential for an outstanding outcome for the next theatrical release of the Frozen franchise. The exclusive songs for Frozen Fever and Olaf’s Frozen adventure had a similar charm, right [5] [8]? Featuring new songs in the sequel of a musical film is important as not doing so will make it lose the Disney vibe that has been around for years and years.

Can you already imagine a sequel to this? I can. [13]

Being a big fan of Frozen, I feel like I really need to see its sequel after all of the demotivation from a certain B-word being shoved in my ears almost every single day. Please give us anything but those slightly unnerving fan-made Frozen games [3]. With the success of Finding Dory, Ralph Breaks The Internet and Toy Story 4 as signs of Disney and Pixar sequels being produced in the right hands these days, the sequel to Frozen ought to keep Disney’s legacy alive for the future generations [2] [9] [19]. By the time I hit my thirties and further expand on my ambitions, Disney would be likely to start producing more live-action remakes of Disney sequels, preferably such as a live-action remake of Cinderella III: A Twist In Time being referred “the live-action Cinderella II” instead of a remake of Cinderella II: Dreams Come True [1] [11]. There sure will be some comparison between the animated version of The Jungle Book 2 from 2003 and its live-action counterpart in the future [17] [18]. But for the 22^nd of November 2019 and so on, Frozen fanatics can hopefully let go of the past and answer the call [14] [6] [22].

The next chapter awaits. [15]
