Anna ugly-crying when she finds out that Elsa is alive is the purest thing in the world and I will die on this hill.
I know! I thought all the crying was almost weirdly realistic in this film, especially compared to other Disney films. Tbh weirdly it was one of my favourite details!
That's kind of the thing with her. Like when she woke up in the first one snoring, drooling, and having terrible bed-head. It makes her incredibly relatable and endearing
Not alone.
This... he missed this...
At this point, Kristoff is due to die by freezing to death from a major character flaw he has that he will overcome and fix, saved by an ironic set of circumstances that gives everyone a lesson of some sort. He will also definitely not die because of true love or whatever will save him
Theory: The reason why all of Arendelle was able to evacuate so quickly was because everyone was already awake due to Elsa singing
Closes door quietly so she doesn’t wake up Anna. Literally screams into the unknown 30 seconds later to wait the entire kingdom. I like that theory 😂😂😂
vakama123 this comment made me laugh so much I chocked. 😹💖😹
vakama123 thank you for making my day
My family achually made a joke about that when we where watching.
that might be true. it's humanly impossible to be so fast unless they are already awake. plus you can see that anna was awake even before the crystals dropped onto the ground
Elsa tearing up at her own mother telling her that she's all she'll ever need truly broke me.
I love that bit.
i think i cried a little watching that part in the cinema 😅
This moment absolutely broke me
Honestly thooo
that was 1000% my favorite part, it got me real good. i rewatched the whole segment!
I love that when Elsa is alive and when kristoff sees shes fine he runs and hugs her, because he doesn't just love and care for Anna, they are all family, he would be just as worried for her safety and upset if she got hurt, in a lot of films the s/o only cares for THEIR s/o but having them care for other members of the family is very nice to see.
HEY DON'T FORGET WHEN KRISTOFF PROPOSED TO ANNA AND SAID "ANNA, YOU'RE THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY PERSON I'VE EVER KNOWN" WHEN ELSA IS THERE IT'S SOOOO FUCKING RUDE YA KNOW WTF
@@leagueofbullshit No it isn't. Elsa probably agrees with him.
@@shadenox8164 still it's rude lmao
@@yeeyee. bruh I say RUDE is RUDE I don't care what she thought about that because RUDE is RUDE
@@yeeyee. k
I'm a little disappointed that Kristoff's absolute fantastic "I'm here, what do you need?" line didn't get a win - for me that was one of the most powerful lines in the movie that made me want to stand up and cheer. Like "Yes. This is what a healthy relationship is supposed to be!" Kristoff was going through all that uncertainty on his part, but when he saw Anna needed him he put that all aside to support her. That's hard, and hugely meaningful.
...In case you can't tell, I loved this movie too. I'm glad you did this.
I adored that line too. It should be goals for any friendship based relationships. Just BE there.
Totally agree. me and my sister Literally cheered
And Anna doesn't forget to say "Thank you"
Also his “my love isn’t fragile” line.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!!! THANK YOU TTWTT
I’m kind of sad you didn’t add one for when Kristof saved Anna and instead of saying something like “I got you” or “let me help” he says “I’m here, what do you need?” He let’s Anna lead instead of trying to be the hero and I think that’s a huge step from the normal guy types in Disney movies.
Omega W0lff YESSSIRR
It is, I just wish Kristoff had a... purpose to this film. His character was so useless 😂 Obviously it aint his movie, but at least in the first one, Anna needed him to climb the mountain. He was terribly written, but had a good song so 👏🏻
Yes!
@@redharlow76 totally agrre, best song in the entire movie
@@redharlow76
Actually, I think Anna would have been stomped on by the giants without Christoff iirc
i love how when olaf sings "and you all look a little bit older" he looks directly at the audience
Always a win for 4th wall break.
Kinda wished he'd pointed that out. He was right, this movie was kinda meta, and that moment was probably the closest the movie came to breaking the 4th wall. Or, I guess, scratching it
@@HaydrogenBomb24 Yeah, I caught that the first time I saw this film. It was cute because there had been a lot of media talk about how all the 12yo's that had seen Frozen were now 18yo's, and so on. And that was a straight-up 4th wall break if ever there was one. No scratching about it.
that’s the first thing i noticed ! i love how much they break the fourth wall in this movie
I loved Olaf so much in this movie💙
the charades scene is still one of the greatest sequences in any disney movie. olaf just transforming into whatever he's trying to portray, elsa's little nod at the let it go re-enactment, all of them failing to guess the word "villain" and shitting on hans in the process. incredible.
(also the way elsa raises her hand before guessing and anna pointing at her, it's so pure how well they understand what the other needs at this point in the story and gosh, the love between those two)
i didnt even notice that
And says thank you to Sven
A late reply, but I had to add to this! The body language of Elsa in this movie is just phenomenal. My favorite is that, in the charades scene, Else is holding a pillow to her chest as a barrier, showing her discomfort and social anxiety in such a clear way. When she's in her most confident moments, her hands are relaxed and clasped to symbolize that she's got things under control.
Theory: Elsa is so embarrassed about seeing when she sang Let It Go because while that was a very empowering song, that was when she shut herself off from the world, and more importantly her sister.
Zenox character development...
Plus, let's be real, nobody likes hearing their own voices
It was probably from the memes.
Disney is very aware of everything around their movies (that's also why they make Frozen 2 this good to). One of the things that shown up on the first movie was Elsa's expression/faces in the "Let it go" song (made a lot of memes back then). Her reaction in this second film particular on that scene (where the memes focus more) is pretty much Disney show that it's aware that people liked it, that it was memorable.
BUT it wasn't only that scene, the same happens at the "guess game" when Olaf expresses himself as Elsa (same scene from the 1st movie), even Elsa agreed with him xD.
Disney knows very well their audience for kids movies (the right story, characters, songs, important points/messages and of course how to end) and this film is one more example of that. PLZ Disney, continue working just like that!
Just one more curiosity:
I remember a few decades ago the trailer guy for Disney animation movies (at least from my country) said that Walt Disney left a full list of stories that he wanted to make into animation movies and let it to his studio to continue his work for future years to come.
Many of the stories after he part away were his (beauty and the beast, little mermaid, Aladin, Hercules, etc.) and many others came out as a modern version of/based on his stories (Princess and the Frog, Rapunzel, the Snow Queen (AKA Frozen)).
So, in a way, today we still are experiencing the original brightness of that creative and awesome person that was Walt Disney!
Or maybe parents just got tired of other people singing it a billion times
I swear, as soon as Elsa and her mother sing “Show Yourself” I get chills.
Seriously her dad tells her to hide her talents, and her mom tells her to shine on you crazy diamond for the world to see.
It makes me emotional every time I listen to the song and I teared up in the theatre when her mom was revealed in the cave! 😭
I just start crying every time. It's beginning to be a problem.
i cry EVERYTIME
Oh yeah. In the French version though... those chorals just sound so angelic but close and warm all at once.
ruclips.net/video/ySdi40wCICQ/видео.html
I'm so glad you addressed Anna's arc. I feel like most people missed the fact that she needed to let go of control. It reminds me of how some parents are with their kids
Agree! It is understandable after what happened in the first film, so of course it takes her a while, but it's so satisfying to see her get there 💖
I really like how when Kristof proposed, she didn't ask for Elsa's opinion/approval. Character development!
@@chelseacardin2150 Kristoff probably already asked Elsa or, considering how close the two of them are, knew he didn't need to ask for her permission. He's also been trying to propose even before they left, Elsa knew this was coming.
Oh dear, now I'm starting to think the Kristoff asked Elsa for advice on what ring to get and finger size and all that.
I actually think the opposite. I think Anna was right. Elsa pretty much killed herself. Anna didn't say "don't go" , she said "let me come with you". And when Anna wasn't there to stop her, Elsa froze.
There wasn't a good reason for Elsa to push Anna away, they could've explored the truth together and come back and destroy the dam. She could've still found herself with Anna there. Also i feel like Elsa pushing Anna away was more of a regression.
@@mm-zm8ys sure, watch 8:51 again and tell me how Anna can survive this
5:17 Also, continuity that Anna would know that since, as was established in "Do you want to Build a Snowman" she basically grew up talking to the paintings in the castle, so it makes sense that she'd know exactly where each one was.
Ikr!!
I really like how Elsa's hairstyle kinda mirrored how free she was. In the first movie her hair goes from a bun to a braid, signaling that she's now free to show her powers to the world. In the second movie her hair is completely down, signaling that she's truly free to be who she really is. I don't know if that was the intention, but I thought it was interesting.
Of course it was the intention, this is DISNEY, hair is everything😂😂😂
Psyche Hurricane ofc it was intentional
I'm so glad my guess was right. This is exactly what I thought
I really like how so unorignial this comment is! I feel so bad for all of the people who think he/she came up with it.
Sorry, but did I ever imply I came up with this idea? All I did was say I liked it.
Hey you forgot that Kristoff's nose literally has pores, the detail in the animation for this movie gets me every time.
AND you can tell exactly what kinds of fabric each character is supposed to be wearing. The animators are amazing.
QueenOfTheSharks I know my little detail-oriented heart was overjoyed while watching this movie. Also the movement of everyone’s face throughout the movie was so realistic considering the unrealistic proportions.
QueenOfTheSharks which type of material does Elsa use on her dresses then? I would love to know how to make fabric out of water and ice.
the thing i love most about this movie is how beautiful the animation is. i think they even came up with new hair mechanics with how it moved and behaved. i can't wait to see what animated movies will look like in the future. :)
Hanna there is no need to be like that, every other character outside of Elsa wears normal clothing. Also, you can see the fabric texture in the clothing.
okay but
"how to rise from the floor, when its not you im rising for"
Is the BEST line in the entire movie
Agreed! That song makes me cry every single time :( I've been obsessively watching Frozen 2 since they put it on Disney Plus lol.
Frrrrrrr it made me think really deep into my feelings
RedRoseSeptember22 Your not alone
Agreed
Jude’s “I like him” it’s the cutest thing ever
5:49
Love your Luz pfp.
I also didn’t realize people didn’t like this movie?!?! That makes me sad, I liked it better than the first one too
Agreed the first was a MASTERPIECE this coming from a teenage male
This one tops it for so many reasons
1. It had the message that you can be yourself and not fear society (weather it’s your religion or political views or whatever)
2. It had more action(which appeals to people my age)
3. They made the concept of it accessible to both genders he said it himself he felt empowered when Elsa did her thing we can all feel that feeling in my opinion guys don’t relate well to sisterly love and this movie gave us a more gender neutral view of sibling love (although I don’t plan on holding my brothers’ hands anytime soon)
Anish Ranna I don’t mind this is why I love democracy (yes the meme) we have different opinions and can express them so I won’t be offended and you’ve left me with no other response to this so way to go
Istill tear up in show yourself scene, is powerful and I am an adult dammit, I love this movie so much.
I think I like it more then any other Disney movie.
Caleb Clark I didn’t know either cause I love this movie
Can't believe you didn't win the part when Anna goes: "Excuse me, I'm coming with, I climbed up a mountain, got a frozen and saved you from my crazy ex-boyfriend, I deserve to go." Or something like that.
Innocent Murderer that part was freakin amazing
It’s “excuse me, I climbed the north mountain, survived a frozen heart and saved you from my ex boyfriend so, you know, I’m coming”
@@evatanalepy7779 How many times have you watched this movie 😂
Without any powers.
Watching it recently, I was paying attention more to Elsa's expressions, which were just hilarious to me 😂
Btw the sound of Jude saying “I like him” is the cutest thing. I keep playing that part over and over
I KNOW RIGHT!?
Amanda Diaz like even if it’s just him imitating his son, it’s super cute
Me too
Me too... Makes my heart wanna burst
Here’s a time stamp for it: 5:50
All of Show Yourself has me ugly crying, but ESPECIALLY the line "I am found!" It's such a beautiful thing to see and hear someone finding their purpose and place in the world.
I'm surprised you didn't add Olaf's end of credits recap for Marshmallow and the snow babies, even if it isn't *technically* in the film it makes me laugh every time. Josh Gad is a treasure.
My god, when he mum is shown singing to her and says “You are the one you’ve been waiting for” I just choke up. I’d never cried at frozen before, but this just hit me hard.
I know. It's a masterpiece. In reality, it's variety of musical tones isn't very big and it takes a supremely talented voice actress with an impossibly emotive voice to be able to bring out the life it possesses. I don't know why, it just chokes me up. I don't like the first Frozen movie, but this thing is... different. I can't explain it, I don't know how.
I’m probably responsible for a third of the views on that video. I love to sing. I’m not very good, but I go all out in my car. I can’t even get through singing this song without crying. The mom/daughter part gets me ugly crying.
It sucks that this movie wasn’t as appreciated as the first.
@@laramueller9658 I'm the same! This song gets me so bad the opening piano section gets the tears started. I can't sing very well either, and I certainly can't sing this without crying lol.
@@laramueller9658 i'm absolutely the same! I love going all out on this song and into tbe unknown when i'm driving! It's the best! And i always get choked up at that one line😆
“Yeah, so Idina can have a few, maybe a couple, maybe several more wins for this control and range and purely stunning voice.”
Yeah, that's fair
Yes, just, just yes
Can we all appreciate how many emotions they put into Elsa’s
“I am found!”
And her choke-up at "You are the one you've been waiting for..."
Dylan Palmer Yes! ✨
@@rickgrimes1016 actually that was her mother singing to her,while Elsa replies with "All of my life!"
it's really cool AND insanely emotional how they're singing the song together...
God,this movie is the only movie that will ever,EVER bring me to tear's
@@sergejcvetkovic9805 yeah, thats what i meant, her reaction to the line
@@rickgrimes1016 oh,ok
Olaf: at least they have their parents.
A milisecond later
Olaf:their parents are *dead*
The only part that made me laugh 😂
Now that's a lot of damage
Definitely my favorite single line delivery in the movie.
Return of the Jedi, anyone? Ewok village? C-3PO?
“I can’t imagine what girls in the audience feel about this”
YEEEESSS?? Little girls may be aware they don't have ice powers but the thing that stuck out to me with that scene was that Elsa literally dove in at odds that were so fiercely against her. And it didn't matter how many times it took, she wasn't going to back down from what she needed to do. The image of standing before a stormy violent sea and having to go THROUGH it is relateable in a figurative sense. We all have our Dark Seas to face and Elsa's example is a fantastic lesson on how to deal with it.
Plus some stunning water animations
“Love isn’t hoping the person you love is alone and without love just so that you can have a chance with them, it’s wishing them all the happiness in the world even if it’s not you that can give it to them.” Bruh... I love that!!!!!
Yeah, Sterling K. Brown's Mattias was my favorite new character
That’s my new motto
Mike Fernandez honestly same
Also the moment when Olaf looks straight into the camera and says "and you all look a little more older." during some things never change, a great nod to the now teen/young adult audience who grew up on the first movie, and it relates to his whole "I can't wait to get older" thing because we used to think that way and being older isn't what it's cracked up to be. That whole movie hits so hard in many different ways.
YOOOO I DIDNT NOTICE
I just noticed that because of your comment, now I've got another time I'm gonna cry every time I watch this movie oh no
OH MA GAWD YOU'RE RIGHT I was 8 when it first came out and now I'm 15
imma go cry over this masterpiece of a movie
I watched Frozen in the good old innocent days of elementary, and now I'm older, sleep deprived, and we're all in quarantine XD
Yep I was 12 and in the 6th grade when the first movie came out and now I’m 19 and in college. 7 years ago was a long time ago
Anna: Hello, darkness
Me: My old frie-
Anna: I’m ready to succumb
Me: Oh, oh that’s not right
I sang the same thing!
Omg, I did that too
we ALL did that XD
lol yes Simon and Garfunkel
I would like but it’s 777 and I want to keep it that way
Fun fact: Because Samantha isn’t a German name, the German version of that scene replaced the name Samantha with:” Hildegard”
Like Sofia The First!
And it's 1000x more funny tbh
Wait, really? I'm german and couldn't remember. I know remember I watched it in english
Isnt hildegard that one mf in Sophia the first
Him saying "Samantha?" was an adlib I believe
I like how you say that Anna's song is reflective of mental health acknowledgement especially since Kristen actually does advocate for mental health services
Britney isallyouneedtoknow oh she does? That’s awesome!
@@kateyb3404 yeah she said that she also had suffered from anxiety and depression in the past
That song was the moment i started ugly sobbing in the theater. It reminded me of the mindset i go to when i have episodes and it was so surprising to see how brutal they were with that song. Super underrated song.
Neat
Kristen Bell has since said this song directly correlated to her depression, and it's so hauntingly beautiful
Elsa: *Sings at 3am in the morning loudly*
The rest of Arendelle: _Ah sh*t, here we go again._
Rose Wern it was actually midnight. When Elsa looks at the paintings, you can see a clock, and it shows midnight.
@@lokiisbestantihero Still sing loudly in a city that has no lifetime during night , meaning that her voice can be heard in the whole kindomg :D
Aw fuck, I can’t believe you’ve done this!
OMGod it’s trueee hahahahahahhahha *I relate SO much to Elsa*
While everyone's annoyed, I'd stay awake just to hear her sing cuz she's my favourite
Cinemawins in the Moana video: I’m not that into musicals
Cinemawins now: “musical lover”, makes references to Hamilton, gushes over songs.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Top 10 redemption arcs
Yeah, I caught that
Is that a reference to hishe dubs Jurassic world if it is "I got that reference"
DING
I think it was mainly just the different type of music. Moana's music was good and fun and all but the music in this was overall wayyy more impactful, powerful, and awesome. It mixed rock and nordic and orchestral all at once divided between moments where there was bone crushingly silent parts like what we saw from Anna, fully encompassing the feeling of loneliness and emptiness; an utter "lack of" that wasn't lacking.
I'd also toss in that this is one of the first movies I've ever seen where a relationship between an introvert and an extrovert is not framed as "the introvert needs the Power Of Love to show them how awesome people are," but just... different ways of being in the world. It's subtle, but looking at Elsa's body language during the charades game at the start of the movie and her chat with Honeymaren midway through is one of the best depictions of how healthy socializing works for an introvert that I've seen.
"I'm here, what do you need?" deserved a win.
agreed
Yeah. Kristoff and Anna's relationship doesn't get the recognition it deserved. One of Disney's most underrated pairings
Yes
Oh my god I LOVED that! That’s how relationships should be! On both ends! He and Anna are so pleasantly healthy it’s so underrated
I feel so bad for Aurora with "Into the Unknown." They made the background notes so goddamn high, and you could tell when it was performed at the Oscars that there was a struggle going on trying to hit that note. They pushed her so hard, but it was made so beautiful. I know Aurora will probably never see this comment, but if it is seen, know that I have all the love in the world for this performance. As someone who had multiple ear surgeries and hypersensitive ears that make people's voices sound like nails on chalkboard, Aurora's singing is so unbelievably soothing even when the song crescendos.
This is a wonderful sentiment, and deserves more love..
Aurora sure does have the voice of a siren. Absolutely beautiful! 🎶
they are quite high, but its important to remember that she is a singer who hits notes like that all the time. and, as somebody with professional training, once you get into the feel of understanding and performing those notes, they're much easier. plus, at the oscars, the song is lower than it is in the film!
She also recorded that voice in a church with amazing accoustics so I think the place where she sings really has something to say as well
Especially at the crescendos! 💕
This was such a “I know you’re scared to grow up, so let me help you out” kind of movie to all the little ones who enjoyed Frozen. I just wish I had a movie like this when I was growing up, but at least my nieces enjoyed it. And likewise, I was shocked to find some people thought this was ‘not that good’ or ‘plain.’
I was one of those people...
I was one of those. Now thanks to CinemaWins I want to rewatch it.
I'm one of those people
Ikr? I'm a teen girl and I have recently been experiencing a lot of change. So this sorta helped with that. Not to mention that it was an enjoyable movie!
@@itsnotapril1291 Yeah, my mom too XD
You missed an animation win. At the 10:19 mark when Queen Elsa is singing "Show Yourself" with her Mom, she looks up at her Mom and you can see the tears in her eyes and her expression is very emotional. Like she's SO HAPPY to know that her mother IS proud of her and wants Elsa to embrace her magic rather than being ashamed of it.
Also, when Elsa's walking into the glacier, you can see the spirit's symbols engraved next to the entrance. It's subtle, but it's there.
One thing I really love in "Show yourself" is when Elsa sings;
"But I'm here for a reason
Could it be the reason I was born?"
It feels so powerful to me, because she kept chasing after this singing voice the entire movie, who turned out to be her mother, at the moment when she saved their father.
The act that was the very reason Elsa was blessed with powers in the first place.
It WAS the reason she was born as the person she is now.
I also love the part. I don't know why, but it feels as though Elsa acknowledges her purpose a self-worth and I honestly just felt so proud
The entire song is just SO empowering. Literally every time I watch it, I tear up.
@@LilyGrace95 I've turned on the movie just to watch that song so many times at this point, I've lost count. Elsa's facial expressions and the duet are just incredible and underrated.
And people have the audacity to say this movie was shallow and approssimative, the attention to the details even in these little hints and self-references is amazing
Absolutely loved this movie. "Their parents are dead" "Elsa's dead" olaf is just the best. Would you be able to do knives out?
Olaf's recaps made this movie for me and I can't believe they're not more of a "thing". I second your Knives Out request.
@@QueenofSnarks That's what's coming next. That shot was Knives Out; Blanc putting on the opera track when he sits down to talk with Greatnana Wanetta.
May have watched this movie a few too many times already.
@Faizan Rizwan That's what I thought. Then I watched it, worth the hype
it is one of my favourite disney movies and im a 13 year old boy
I did not look at the picture (my head was turned at the time) but guessed Knives Out from the description.
“Hey! Pants on a princess!”
Jasmine : “am I a joke to you?”
to be fair in that time period in her culture, princesses didn't wear dresses, where Scandinavian royalty did
Maybe it’s better rephrased as, “fitted pants on a princess!” Pants that could conceivably be seen on a man instead of “feminine”-styled pants 🥰
Jay Reid scandanavian not dutch tho.
@@AquaFoxcos I knew it was something along the lines I'll fix it
Mulan: Let me introduce myself.
I loved Olaf looking directly at the camera while singing "You all look a little bit older." It was a nice nod to how long it took for the sequel to come out. I also appreciated how the story was more mature since the original fans are now also more mature.
i literally started crying when i saw that part. i was seven, maybe eight when frozen 1 came out, so seeing that frozen two was still for me, not just for the new 7/8 year olds was something so special that ive never seen in a sequel
@@mars_mallow_ same! I was around 6/7 too!
@@mars_mallow_ jeez y'all are young 🤣 I was like 13 when it came out!
@@window8684aw y'all are so young lol. i was like 11 when the first movie came out. I'm 20 next month
@@onemore4567 correction since I found out i was wrong: I was 5 when the movie came out but I thought i was older ✋💀
Honestly, I agree with you about how Elsa doesn’t really need a love interest. Isn’t it much more empowering for a Disney princess/queen to not need a love interest to have a story that’s deep and relatable? “Show Yourself” said the same message for me - Elsa is the only one Elsa needs - it’s a message of self-acceptance when Hollywood tends to claim that you need to have a significant other at all times, or you’re defective and you can’t be happy. Maybe Elsa could be the first Disney princess/queen who says, “You’re awesome the way you are; you don’t need someone else to complete you! You complete yourself!”
I personally would have been delighted if she did have a love interest, though I probably wouldn't have gotten to see it the first time I did because my mom would never take us to see such a movie BUT my point is that getting our first Canon wlw Disney mc? That would have been incredible. Pretty much everyone knows that Oaken is mlm, and that the family in his store was his, but he's a side character, and that was something unnoticed by most homophobes. Elsa being queer, however? That would have tied in beautifully to her arc of self-acceptance, and characters being ace is pretty much never canonized except by LGBT artists, so as it is, it wouldn't be controversial for Elsa not to have a love interest, it would just be one of the first Disney main characters without one (not trying to exclude Moana here, it already doesn't have enough attention somehow). I was personally hoping that the Voice would end up being a beautiful spirit played by AURORA that Elsa would bond with and fall for.
However, you're right too. The fact that her arc had exactly nothing to do with romance and that there wasn't any ANYWHERE in her story was also a super powerful statement that isn't made enough. Again, excepting Moana, Merida is the only princess that comes to mind who doesn't have a romance, and romance is still a part of her story. So this? This is beautiful, and the fact that it's a Disney movie not just saying "oh, you don't need romance to be happy! Just be you" but not even bringing it up in relation to this character is super empowering for people, especially young girls, who are constantly pressured to have romance and are constantly told that life is incomplete without it. It's not. I'm aromantic and asexual, and I know that I'm probably never going to have romance. And while that makes me a little sad, because it's a wonderful thing, I'm okay with it. My life will not be any less full for lack of it. I guess I just wish we could have had both, somehow.
@@avastepanian567 if Elsa did have a love interest, then it would feel like it was forced in just for her to have a love interest, and if her love interest was female, then it would feel forced for the sake of diversity. If Disney was wanting a homosexual relationship for a main character, I feel like it would be better for them to create a new character in a new story
that's what i like about this movie and Mulan. yes mulan has a love interest but is merely a side thought but it also came out 31 years prior i think. they both have to figure out who they are and the hierarchy of the world they live in.
I feel like it would be more empowering if we had the first lesbian Disney princess/queen then having Elsa not have a love interest at all. I feel like people don’t care that Elsa don’t have a love interest because in recent years there have been Disney movies that the Disney princess did not have a love interest in the movie. (Just my opinion.) (BTW I would love it if Elsa and Honeymaren dated)
@@molly_parker_1847 well onward they have a cop whose lesbian
Worth mentioning the relationship between "Let It Go" and "Show Yourself". For example,
Let It Go: Here I stand, and here I stay.
Show Yourself: Here I stand, I've come so far.
Or how in Let It Go, Elsa lets down her hair, but it still remains braided and tied despite being let free. In Show Yourself, though, her hair is loose and completely free.
And how great does her hair look when she let's it down?!
But I 100% agree. When she was a kid, her hair was short, but free, then as she got older n more withdrawn, it was in a super tight bun.
Then in let it go, she let it down, but plats like hers are still super tight. Plus even then, she was wearing high heels, while in show yourself, she was wearing flats.
@@Trojianmaru Her hair was in a braid as a kid too. A much smaller braid than in "Let It Go" and up until the ponytail part where she's about to cross the ocean to Athohallan and letting her hair completely loose once she arrives, but her hair as a kid was definitely still in a braid.
It's actually "Here I am I've come so far" But I get your point.
And.. Oh, There's another thing you can compare between this two song.
Let it Go: "Turn away and slam the door"
Show Yourself: "Come to me now, Open your door"
@@Trojianmaru you mean she wasn't wearing shoes until her transformation
I absolutely loved this. One addition: when Kristoff says that his love is not fragile was a win for me. It shows maturity in the relationship despite his difficulty proposing.
Yes!! Also when he finally met back up with Anna when he saved her from the Earth giants, he didn't hesitate at all or ask her why on earth she was trying to get them to chase her down he just said "I'm here, what do you need." with no other questions asked and I just love them together so much!!
God. That line was everything.
When he said it I paused the movie, just to do a happy dance 😂
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who prefers this film to the first one.
Elsa’s arc was really compelling and I really like how they gave her permission to be on her own and go on her own path but in a more healthy context than the first film when she was just shutting her loved ones out.
Also a Disney princess saying that she alone is the one she’s been waiting for all her life almost had me in tears, it was ace rep I didn’t know I needed.
omg, Jude's "I like him" just made me wanna have a kid
I was like, awww
I think all of our (br)ovaries exploded at that moment
I tell kids to stop making my overies ache. But if I hang out for another or so, they start to shrivel and everything's back to normal again.
“Who’s dat?”
tycho goedhart br(ovaries), i will 100% add it to my vocabulary
12:55 a missed win. I absolutely loved how while most movies would use the symbolism of climbing out of a dark cave, and seeing the light, as a sign of "you'll be OK", Frozen 2 keeps it real and makes it clear that even after all that, you might still not be OK, but that's OK. That you're allowed to feel bad, even when everyone else expects you to be OK by now.
That moment where even after she managed to pull herself up, and escape, but was clearly still not OK, was absolutely amazing to me. So many other movies would have her wipe her tears, go be a badass, and never show any more greif after that.
Fun fact: there is a whole deleted song (that I personally think would've atoned for Kristoff's rather plain arc) where Kristoff tries to propose to Anna but keeps getting it wrong. He has been forcing himself to fit into a noble's role, wearing tight clothes and fancy shoes, but all that prevents him from being himself. Eventually Anna makes the first move and just proposes to him (a progressive move in Disney movies tbh). Therefore, Kristoff's proposal arc would've been more of a "being myself while in a relationship with a royal/higher class" arc which would've been more interesting but not really within the movie's tone.
I think it would have been really amazing to see, but might have bloated the movie a bit too much when it was going for a tight story
@@emilyhuang5997 and hence, Disney cut it. The movie was better for it and I can listen to he song on Spotify and make it my own headcannon. Problems solved!
I've actually been brainstorming some ideas for an alternate version of Kristoff's arc. One of those ideas is a change in the whole reindeer proposal scene. Instead of the Northuldra chief who comes along, it's actually Elsa. She's initially confused, but quickly puts two and two together. Embarrassed, Kristoff reluctantly explains what he's trying to do. Elsa tells him that, as Anna's sister, she knows that Anna isn't expecting anything flowery or fancy from him. She tells Kristoff just to be himself and not overthink his proposal. When the time comes, he'll know what to say. That's one of the reason why Anna loves him. Elsa then asks Kristoff if he can stay behind and try to get to the bottom of what actually happened between the soldiers and the Northuldra. She leaves, and this is where we get 'Lost in the Woods'.
Cut to later in the film when Elsa is at Ahtohallan (I have no idea if this is the proper spelling). Interspliced in between are segments of Kristoff speaking with some of the older Northuldran. Both scenes climax in the realization that the old king is to blame.
This change adds a few things that I think the film was missing. Not only does it give Kristoff more to do, it also gives more of a spotlight on Elsa and Kristoff's friendship, a relationship we haven't seen much of in other Frozen media. Also, Kristoff spending time with the Northuldra gives the movie the opportunity to expand more on them and their connection to the land.
I know this isn't a perfect change, but I think it does a better job of expanding on certain elements the movie fell short on. What do you think?
@@TF2Fan101 I actually really like that idea! Having Kristoff stay behind and learn about the Northuldra would definitely make it feel like he served more of a purpose. And he could explore the relationship the Northuldra have with the soldiers from Arendelle who were left behind when they were trapped in the forest (since it wasn't really explored. They spent years trapped together, there has to be some story between them there). And having Elsa there would strengthen the relationship between them.
I agree. Get This Right is an amazing song and really sweet for their relationship, but it didn't fit into the rest of the movie, unfortunately.
another win you missed was Kristoff being such a supportive partner to Anna. when he scoops her up he doesn't ask questions other than "what do you need?" Kristoff = perfect partner.
I ugly cried while watching this at the cinema
Update: Ugly cried while watching this too
I sobbed all throughout this video, I'm so glad I wasn't the only one :)
SAME
Same
every reply is SAME but for me
i made a waterfall
every time i hear the next right thing i cry so hard
I really like Frozen 2. As someone who grew up with undiagnosed Aspergers and PTSD, I never understood why I had so much trouble just being normal. Around the time I got diagnosed, I saw Frozen and identified heavily with Elsa, being different in an uncontrollable way that ostracized me from others... Let It Go actually spoke to me. And Frozen 2 was more of that message to just let go and be myself. Accept myself. I needed these messages.
Edit: I’ve been reading your replies and I just want to tell you all that you are amazing!
Thanks for sharing with us
This is a fantastic comment though I didn't have the same psychological issues as you I definitely felt the ostracizing due to the differences I think its really beautiful that there is a disney princes that people can attach to outside of the built stereotype
I had really bad emotional dysregulation and anger issues growing up, which pretty badly damaged my relationship with my little brother. I learned to push down my emotions, and to be afraid of what would happen if they broke free. I saw SO MUCH of myself in Elsa in the first movie, and being told that I could be okay, accepting my emotions was okay, and my relationship with my brother could be okay -- I needed that. This sequel reinforced ideas of self-acceptance, self-love, healthy coping mechanisms, healthy boundaries and relationships, trust, apology, rebuilding... it was so good. Like sure it's a little corny -- it's a Disney movie, the frick did you expect? It's still wholesome and kind and smart and has dope music.
I've never met another person with aspergers and ptsd before. The fear I always lived with mixed with my struggle to communicate with other people made me lock myself away from everyone else. And it was when I finally understood that I'm not broken that I was able to open up enough to make friends and put myself out there. Show yourself had me in tears in the theater when I went to see it with my nana. I haven't cried that much watching a movie since I saw the "its not your fault" scene in Good Will Hunting
Absolutely in the same boat. I wasn't diagnosed with ASD, dyspraxia and anxiety til I was 20, and Let it Go really spoke to me. Then Frozen 2 came out, and suddenly I was in tears for most of the songs because Jesus it resonated. The Lopez's are such talented musical writers.
I was absolutely wrecked when near the end of “Show Yourself” when Elsa sees her mom and started crying but still singing
Fun fact, the high note singing is called kulning and was traditionally used by farm maids to call on the cows. There is an RUclipsr, Swedish, who have videos of her singing like that
I cried when I watched that
It’s a step second time I went and I went with my friends and one of them was making fun of me for crying so she didn’t see Elsa’s dress transformation lol
Something about the "I am found" line/scene in Show Yourself kicks me right in the feels every time.
& "you're the one you've been looking for *all of my life (all of your life)* part as well... gives chills
at this point disney has found that they can make money off of people's shit mental health so they've just been running with it
"You were the one you've been waiting for all of my life" is a line in a song that many people needs to hear--I definitely needed to hear it. YOU are enough. You don't need a man/woman, a better job, to be accepted by family, friends, etc. YOU ARE ENOUGH.
*cough cough* aroace elsa *cough cough*
Well said
That line always gives me chills and when Elsa follows it with "All my life" She is a woman I her 20s and has been searching for something for so long. Her mother, who she probably still blames herself for her death, gets to tell her "You've been searching for yourself all your life and you have found her". That is so beautiful💙💜💙
Except when you get into an accident. Then it's time to call the Law Offices of Larry H. Parker. He'll fight for you! (Se habla español.) 😁
It reminds me of the line in Moana "And the call isn't out there at all, it's inside me."
Re: Arendelle having to make an actual physical payment for pass misdeeds done in their name
By breaking the dam Anna, on Arendelle’s behalf (she’s already effectively queen at this point with Elsa out of commission) demonstrates that she is willing to pay that material atonement, and by restoring Elsa and letting her save Arendelle, the Spirits in their turn are saying that it is enough that she was willing to do so, they do not require that the payment actually be made. And thus is a true reconciliation forged.
I think what made people unsatisfied was that the movie didn’t propose a way forward for current issues.
The sins are not in the past. Disney lives on stolen land. And it’s not just the US. Today, Norway is facing issues with habitat destruction and indigenous self-determination, over the mines that fund its impressive welfare state and **literal dams that are meant to strengthen the land.** (Hydroelectricity, renewable energy.) I understand the movie makers punting on this; they are only cartoonists; this is far above their pay grade. It just made the movie a little unsatisfying.
EDIT: I mean, forgiveness is a possible way forward, but in the movie it was decided for the Northumbrians without their consent. So very outside of the cartoonists’ pay grade.
@@SikerScrapyard I feel like that's the distinction between the story and real life people are forgetting, either willingly or unconsciously.
Arendelle wasn't "founded" on land that belonged to the Northuldra or the spirits; their kingdom had been there for presumably just as long. The harm done to the natives wasn't theft of land, at least not in the conventional sense. King Runeard _specifically_ lied, cheated, and killed with the intent of weakening them because he was paranoid and awful. His kingdom didn't actually benefit from his actions in any way whatsoever, he just believed that they would because of his twisted cognition.
The dam being broken only posed a physical threat to the kingdom because of the way water works, not because it stood on land that _should've_ been filled with water. That much is obvious when the water from the dam is stopped by Elsa's wall, but instead of proceeding to flood the city when she removes it, just fills the fjord even more, which is clearly the way the water flowed before the dam was there. (After all; water has memory.)
So, the reason it doesn't present a solution for the "current imbalances" is because... in this story, there aren't any.
Not only that, but olaf says it goes against everything Arendelle stands for. And once she tells the lieutenant the truth he understands what also has to be done and helps her. And when she returns they build a statue of the king and queen showing their lands are unified. No one from Arendelle stood with the king when they found out the truth. They didn't deserve to lose everything if they were never okay with what the king did behind everyones backs once they were told what happened. For 30ish years all they knew was the king died. A tribe they tried to befriend was to blame apparently. And the second they found out the truth, that 30 year long lie was no longer belived and everyone stood with Anna.
Like with Abraham and Isaac, if you want to reference the Bible. Or like Animorphs 19. My point is that the “willingness is enough” has been used before, the movie didn’t just pull it out of nowhere.
Personally, I really enjoyed what they did with Kristoff in this movie. To me, his relationship with Anna was represented with a lot of very casual, realistic interactions that would be seen between a couple in real life. It dealt away with the classic trope that the princess automatically marries the guy the second they fall in love. His part in the movie shows that relationships do take work and can be a struggle- that they aren't always picture perfect. His song even portrays the doubt that can be present in a relationship. All in all, I thought it was very clever and natural how they decided to portray Kristoff.
It did bother me tho how Kristoff completely vanishes from Anna's mind during the WHOLE movie. She never thinks of him once. He's in an unknown forest, he could be in danger. Yet she never wastes one thought on him.
@@cherusiderea1330 Granted, she was told that Kristoff went with Ryder before she left. She probably thought she was abandoned by Kristoff for people who literally like reindeer.
i also like how it isn't the main focus. people can complain all they want about his arc, but the romance between him and Anna was NEVER the main focus. Not in the first and for sure not here. It has always been about Elsa and Anna, their familial love and ofc Elsa in her path to accepting herself and just.... wonderful. There is a reason Frozen is so popular, even now.
i agree though it looks like Anna always picks her sister over him... did not look like a healthy relationship... but what do i know
ALWAYS picking her sister over Kristoff is a *bit* unhealthy, but my sister and I are really tight, and she has mild depression and high anxiety, so I kinda understand. Not saying that I don’t love or not care about my girlfriend as much, but... she’s the person I’ve grown up with my whole life. And as for Anna and Elsa, they want to make up for lost time, and Anna just... goes a little overboard which is, again, understandable, since she’s now seen Elsa at her emotional limit and doesn’t want to see her hurting like that again.
There was this tiny detail in Lost in the Woods where Kristoff holds a hand to his ear and sings to an acorn like he's in a recording studio got me laughing. Truly a homage to classic music videos
Also, when Elsa's walking into the glacier, you can see the spirit's symbols engraved next to the entrance. It's subtle, but it's there.
listen. LISTEN. I cry EVERY TIME I hear the "all is found" part of "Show Yourself". I loved this movie -- the songs were incredible, the animation was phenomenal, the story was interesting, the character arcs made me feel proud of our girls, the emotional beats hit hard, and the humor was on point. It's a really good movie!
I agree. Don't care about those negative reviews
I know! The movie was fantastic to watch in the theatre but I definitely appreciated it much more the second time round on DVD. I got emotional too during "Show Yourself", but mainly when the voice turned out to be Iduna...it reminded me of my own mother who passed away a few years ago, so I could totally sympathize with Elsa when she started happy-crying at the reunion. As far as Disney sequels usually tend to go, this was EASILY one of the best, because Frozen II further explored mythology (and did the proper history research to boot), went beyond the bounds of the first film's setting, had more fantastic songs, brought back the original cast members along with some great new ones, showed off beautiful animation, had a darker and more mature tone...yeah I could go on forever but this movie was definitely worth the six-year wait. Screw all the unimpressed negativity towards this film.
The first Frozen is technically a better movie from an objective standpoint - the story is constructed better, the scenes transition a lot more naturally in order to keep the flow of action, the sound editing is slightly better, and the overall structure is miles better. HOWEVER, I still prefer the second one because the writing is a lot more mature, and it’s also a fuck load more funny than the first. Also, better animation and better songs in my opinion.
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose I couldn't agree more
Same! As a mother to a toddler, I've listened to it sooooo many times but it ALWAYS gets me. When Mama Ahtohallan sings "YOU are the one you've been waiting for all of your life" it's just...I can't even...I'm floored!
"I'm the one who says nice things on youtube.com"
Elsa : "WHILE OTHERS DON'T"
You really cracked me up with your editing choice here xD
When Jude said “I like him” my heart melted faster than Olaf in summer...
The only thing that bothered me about this was that I felt like Kristoff's plot line was really unneeded; he could have stayed with the citizens and showed them the king he would be while Elsa and Anna solved the problem.
Also, I really like that the first movie was set up to be about Elsa and it was actually about Anna and this movie was set up to be about Anna but was actually about Elsa.
I think that Kristoff's plot should be unneeded. There should be the focus on the girls, on other things. While it was okay as B-story, it shouldn't have gotten more attention. And it is good that he figured it out himself that it's okay, he doesn't need to worry about the love being fragile and just be there when Anna needs her. I think it was a good character growth. Especially because he figured it out by himself. And it doesn't take away from the A-story.
Kristoff wouldn't be king, actually. When a man of lower rank marries a queen, the most he can be is a Prince. Although that's admittedly based on my knowledge of the UK, maybe Scandinavian royalty did it differently. Still, I liked that Kristoff went with them as support. And I feel like if he stayed behind to look after the people it would really parallel Hans in a way that would feel suspicious, since that's exactly what Hans did to try to grab power.
@@EdslilNeko Consort. Kristoff would have been given the title of consort. They tend to have roughly the same power as their spouse when it comes to decision making (I think).
I didn't mind Kristoff's side plot but they could've focused more on it. Its weird how they gave him his song and were like ok Kristoff, you're done now bye bye, and shoved him to the side. Even if it makes this movie a half hour longer, they shouldve done something.
I actually disagree, while it wasn't a large part of the plot it the movie actually showed a lot of their relationship's development and how despite all his frustration at her constantly sidelining him for Elsa there was zero resentment and the second Anna needed him he was there to assist. Then when everything was resolved, they were just able to communicate and address the issue, and frankly that's something we need to see more of in media.
The “my love isn’t fragile” line from Kristoff was actually one of my favourites from the movie. He understood that ultimately, Anna needed to be where she was, and he can sing about how sad he is and move on. He was able to express his emotions, and then reunite even happier with Anna. Also it sends such a great message, where most movies (though I understand they didn’t have enough time) would’ve used this as an excuse for empty drama, they showed an example of a healthy relationship. So important in a kids movie!!
Also, “what do you need?” He doesn’t try to take over for her or play the chivalrous “I’ll save the world” role, it was wonderful. I’m also just a huge Jon Groff fan as well!
I love how, as Elsa gets more comfortable with herself, her hair gets let down with it, too.
Also, of course Anna would know about Lieutenant Matthias' portrait- in all of For the First Time in Forever, she goes around to all the portraits and poses in them- perfectly, which would require some practice, I'd think? She spent most of her childhood...talking to paintings.
In Do You Wanna Build A Snowman she even sings "I started talking to the pictures on the walls"

@@cecijayx Ok, I wasn't sure wether it was Joe or Joan.
It's also behind the others while they're playing charades :)
This is late but something that strikes me in the Show Yourself song with the transformation...
Okay. White gown with crystal details on the bust and gauzy see through fabric trailing down her back? Mom looking on glowing with pride? Hair done all pretty (somehow)?
That's a wedding dress.
THAT'S A WEDDING DRESS.
The veil is attached to her arms instead of her hair and there's pants underneath but that is pure wedding dress symbolism. Elsa isn't just finding her power, she's finally fallen in love with and committed to herself. She's marrying herself. It's also a cute little knock against the traditional Disney trope that marrying a guy is the path to happiness. Not this time, self love is the path to happiness now folks! Also easy to read in an Elizabeth reference into it where Elizabeth 'marries England' in all her holy Queenliness at the end of the movie too. Idk if that's what was intended but I love that it's there.
Holy shit. You’re right!!!!!!
I love this little detail that was definitely deliberate on the animators’ part. Disney doesn’t put its female characters in white unless they’re getting married
i get legit chills at that part :o
my goodness you are right i thought the dress was pretty before i saw this but now it is the most beautiful thing
I thought that said "snow yourself"-
So, i watched this movie with my father, and at the very end he said, “but she doesnt have a man.” I never really thought about how some people are still pretty hung up on movies having a ‘happily ever after’ ending, where the princess ends up with the prince after he saves her from some great evil. It never even crossed my mind that some people wouldn’t understand why Elsa didnt have a love interest because, well, Elsa didnt need one; it wasnt important for her to have one. I honestly love the idea that Elsa is aro/ace rather than her being a lesbian. I didnt go into too much detail with my father because he literally laughed out loud at my theory that Elsa is ace, aaaand that wasnt a conversation i was going to have with him at that moment.
Yeah I love that Elsa/Anna are not stereotypical damsels in distress and Elsa doesn’t have romance
Thought she was a lesbian in the movie and in the next she may have a lesbian interest.
@@darrenbutler9819 yeah, too bad getting lgbt+ rep in a disney movie is borderline impossible, but hey, we can dream
@@darrenbutler9819 Elsa's voice actor wanted Elsa to be lesbian, but of course due to Disney, it didn't happen.

Czarina 18:19
honestly i’m a 19 year old girl and i felt so heard during this movie ! the fact that they had a theme of mental health in this movie just makes me so happy. i have depression/anxiety which is slightly caused by a medical condition i also have thats been hard to deal with because sometimes my only choice is to sit there and hope i feel better soon... next right thing has become my theme song sort of, like whenever i get sick or find myself being affected by my depression and anxiety, i just tell myself “do the next right thing” and it’s almost like telling myself to take baby steps. one step at a time. i’m very much like anna and hearing her sing that song helped a lot
That song, and the animation that went with it, was such a good representation of depression. An emotion that has a gravity, dragging you down, and she sinks lower? I felt that. Hard. Resonated with every line.
I'm so sorry you deal with that dear, I have major depression and anxiety I've had all my life and have good and bad days. But one thing I always remind myself is there are always better days no matter how dark it gets. Life is beautiful, and to be alive is a blessing whether you're a religious person or an atheist. Don't forget that. I'm not a whole lot older than you, going to be 25 next month, but I am So Glad I did not take my own life as a young person your age when I was going through a particular difficult time because of family issues and trauma, I almost didn't graduate highschool as a result. I wish you the best and hope you are doing alright when you read this. I don't know exactly what you are going through because only you know that, but I do have an idea and therefore know you are strong and brave. I hope that you have a wonderful life sweetie 💙💜💙 you deserve it.
same same same
i legit cried when anna was singing that song, never thought I'd cry while watching Frozen II lol
I too am a 19 year old girl and relate to this comment 100%, except for I don't just have severe clinical depression and anxiety. My best and often only friend of over twelve years died in my arms a month after I turned 18 and every word Anna sang spoke deeply to me.
"Hello darkness, I'm ready to succumb."
Grief in one sentence has never been so pure and raw. This movie made me legit cry.
Fun Fact:
Do you recall the line in Olaf’s song when he said “Samantha?”, and then laughs about it? Well that line was not in the original script. The guy who voiced Olaf said that as a joke to himself when they first tried the song. The director thought to add it to the script, and it turned out great!
Reply more fun facts if you know any, I’m sure we all would like to read them!
I can honestly believe that Olaf’s voice actor ab lib-ed the majority of the lines. Like, the entire scene where he summarize the first movie?
*You can’t tell me they actually planned that-* XD
We love Josh Gad
I'll tell you something: they didn't animate Olaf first and than have Josh Gad reas the lines like usual. They actually made him read his lines first and than animated it because he improvises so much!
Also, Josh Gad changed a line from, ‘Well, you are the grown ups’ to, ‘Well, that’s anonymous, but I’ll be sure to look it up when we get home’. That was after he was telling them facts
Yes but it’s a trigger to anyone with the name Samantha and your friends and family will play it on repeat till you beg them to stop. They still do it if frozen is brought into a conversation.
Glad I wasn’t the only one that laughed at the Olaf story part where he goes “their parents are dead.” I remember when I went to go see this with my mom in theaters, when he said that we bursted pout laughing, it was just so funny to us. Then when it came out on dvd and we showed it to my dad for the first time, he gets a real kick and loves the scene where Elsa destroys the Hans memory. Nokk is my fav spirit as my fav animal is the horse and Nokk is pretty cool, love horse spirts like the kelpie, which I believe he is.
I feel Kristoff's line about how his love isn't fragile was a huge win. It was really great to hear in theaters
The "angelic voice" is Aurora. She has many beautiful songs here on youtube. Her voice is great. And she has her own cover of into the unknown!
Her music is so dope runaway, running with wolves, i went to far..etc the whole my demons greet me as a friend album
AURORA IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING
I legit thought when the Into the Unknown on Spotify said it was created by Indina Menzel and AURORA, it meant it was the aurora
I also can't be the only one who kind of heard a similar leitmotif as the music from Disney's Sleeping Beauty (specifically "Maleficent's Spell" in the soundtrack) with the haunting notes and distant call, trying to lure in our protagonist.
Listen to the two tracks side-by-side and tell me you don't hear it.
I love her into the unknown cover probably listened to 1000 times
Someone in Arendelle is trying to yell at Elsa during Into The Unknown “SHUT UP! IT’S THREE IN THE MORNING!”
Hold up when?
See relevant Gus Johnson video.
Disney has stated that "Into The Uknown" is sung at 3 AM so even more reason for the people of Arendelle to yell at her for singing loudly on her balcony.
I get the feeling it might not be the first time Elsa (or Anna) has burst into song at 3AM
That's why they could all evacuate so quickly so yay?
When I watched Frozen for the first time in theaters, I cried during "Let it Go" because of the struggles that were going on in my personal life. Watching this misunderstood Queen become accepted by her people and learning to love herself was so powerful. When the second movie came out, I was so happy that Disney chose to continue her self discovery. Even when you accept yourself, its hard to find your strength and embrace your powers as an individual. "Into the Unknown" and "Show Yourself" were the perfect songs to explain her path. I cried even harder with these songs. Out of every Disney character, I have always connected to Elsa the most. I feel as though her character development has mirrored my own.
"I like him."
Welp, I'm going down.

And plus the fact that it’s so annoying that RUclips keeps on recommending Frozen 2 hate videos like “Happily ever after... the wasted potential of Frozen 2” which is basically about Frozen 2 getting snubbed at the Oscars for best animated film (which made me angry, btw).
Zara Evee I adored Frozen 2 as well, and this is actually is my favorite Disney film on par with The Lion King 1994. I’d even say that this is the my favorite Disney revival age movie (with the exception of Zootopia, despite it also being one of my all time favorites, no other Disney revival movies come close to Frozen 2... and Zootopia).
Cinema Wins: "I'm the guy who says nice things about movies on youtubedotcom."
Elsa: (while others don't)
Ding.
I hate it, bad pun, thank you.
I saw the comment like 2 seconds before seeing the part of the video.
@@joda7697 that always happens to me when I scroll t the comments its so weird!
I think "Show Yourself" is the best song in the movie, without a doubt. "Into the Unknown" is... fine. But the former is full of such beauty and powerful emotion, it deserves much higher praise.
They're both wonderufl in their own ways but I utterly agree re: "Show Yourself."
“Next Right Thing” takes the cake for me. So dang emotional.
@@velvet_victor i would rank that one higher if it weren't so damn hard to listen to...which, admittedly, is the point.
I honestly can't rank any of the songs above another
I agree. I totally wish that 'Show Yourself' was the big song from the movie, but they chose 'Into The Unknown'. It's understandable, though. 'Show Yourself' gives out a ton of spoilers.
I’ve told everyone I’ve talked to. I LOVE Frozen2. Like genuinely top 10 favorite movies. I watched it in theater, and it was outstanding. Better than the first IMO.
It blows my mind that people didn't like this movie. I get everyone has their own tastes and hearing the same songs a million times can get somewhat annoying after a while but the message this movie sends is so massively important, that it can not be overstated. Children love animation and colorful movies like this, so to teach good mental health practices and self-love, even at a subliminal level is a great move. The acceptance of yourself, Elsa's story teaches and fighting the darkness and isolation within yourself, Anna's story teaches, both contain a level of depth I'd have never expected from a Disney film, especially a princess one at that. I love that Elsa joins a small group of Disney heroines who never get married or have their relationship be the central focus of their life, like Merida, Tiana, and Moana. A couple had relationships as a big part of their movie but it was never what the movies were really about. Tiana did get married but she also became a businesswoman too, showing you can have a successful career and love. Merida chose her own fate and developed a better relationship with her mother, and Moana found her freedom she had always been searching for by finding it within herself. Moana's ballad "I am Moana" carries the same energy as Elsa's "Show yourself". Both are sung with influential female figures in their respective lives and both are about finding what they had been searching for has been inside themselves along, they just need to make the journey of self-discovery to see that on their own. Both are also embodied supernatural/spiritual forces of their people. Else is the fifth element of magic and Moana being an embodiment of the sea/chosen by the sea. 100/10
Also, the little blurbs of philosophical/ existential tangents Olaf throw into the mix are both hilarious and thought-provoking even if that wasn't the intention.
I couldn't have said it better!! I agree 100%
honestly i know, like you said, people have their own tastes but i think a lot of people disliked it just because it’s a frozen movie 🤷♀️
@@alexinwonderland5782 Right, people will not like it because of the franchise.
@@alexinwonderland5782 yup completely true. also they are like "iT'S A bAd cAShGraB MOvIe WhIcH sUcKed" which is just completely dumb
I disliked it because I LOVED the songs, the visuals and the setup, but I feel like it was overall underwhelming. Anna's story and her relationship with Kristoff wasn't brought to their full potential (especially as seen in the deleted scenes) and the plot was erratic. I wish Elsa's scars were dealt with more instead of handwaved away - she struggles with isolating herself and the story ends with her in isolation with just occasional visits to her sister (not to say she belongs in Arendelle, either - the story never really seems to reconcile this). It should've had a villain, Arendelle should've been destroyed (though the scene where Elsa stops the wave is STUNNING nonetheless), etc. I'm frustrated with this movie because it has so many good elements but, as a cohesive whole, I just didn't find it satisfying. It's a little like Justice League - it had definitely good scenes with good characters, but it was not nearly as good as it could've been and so it was frustrating. I really wanted Frozen 2 to be amazing. That having been said, I still totally appreciate videos like this because it points out everything good about the good parts and the good parts are VERY good (and hit even greater heights that Frozen 1).
"And let's appreciate that our King is finally getting the renown he deserves. What else does he need to do to remind us of his love? ! Well remember we belong to him... We'll be back." I caught a Hamilton reference!!
I was screeching at that part lolol
First time watching this and I caught it on my first run.
My heart literally exploded with fangirl lmfao
I didn’t know a lot of people didn’t like this movie. The comment section shocked me. In my country, this movie is well-loved
It might just be that they're the loudest voices though im gonna be honest i hate frozen as a whole franchise i only watched this cause i liked cinema wins
Is this in Disney+?
Darth Plagueis the Wise no, not yet at least
It will be this summer
BookDuchess my whole friend group loves it
“did someone have a sloth in the recording room” 😂😂 i’m living for the kristen bell jokes u have no idea
I cried like a baby in the theater during Show Yourself. This movie, like all things, had SOME flaws but I still loved it so much.
To anyone wondering, Yes he made a Hamilton reference when talking about Kristoff being a "King", and then later saying "We'll be Back"
I KNEW IT
I LOVE IT
I THOUGHT I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO THOUGHT THIS!!! YASSS
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
Yes we should remember we belong to him
He reminded us of his love😀

"Let's just run a quick list" "Elsa's dead,Olaf's dead, her parents are officially dead, kristoff disappears, and her grandfather was a cowardly, trickery, murderer!!!" When you put that in perspective, losing your sister, best friend, parents, not knowing where your boyfriend is, and finding out your grandfather was a murderer, wouldn't you be depressed to?
Thx for the likes!
Kristoff's character got completely white washed. He actually had depth in the first movie. All he cared about in this one was proposing. Anna not listening to him and thinking the worst was over done. I didn't like them at all in this film. Only Elsa seemed to have a decent character run.
@@shastapearce7668 I personally thought it was very endearing and kristoff's character arc had me smile a lot because, really, everyone has flaws
@@shastapearce7668 Also, may I ask how that's white washing? Hes already white lmao
Me: Hey Siri, how do you like a comment 100 times?
So...
Yesterday... I buried my dad, he'd been sick for a while. (Not covid btw.)
And I just wanted to thank you for how your lines at the 12:24 timestamp made me cry a bit. It's something that I don't think I had heared anyone express in such a clear way. And I just... Just thanks.
i'm surprised you didn't win the moment in "into the unknown" when her magic manifests into the four spirits before we even meet them, that bit was so satisfying to catch the second time through. also, i really enjoyed the moment when ryder and honeymaren reacted to the mist being gone and seeing the sky for the first time and that hit really hard for some reason.
People DIDN’T like lost in the woods?
I’m offended
(Btw I was just joking we all have our own opinions)
I know, it's so hilarious and catchy
When I saw it in theaters I took a journey of absolute disgust to pure elated joy
My cousins and I bursted our laughing in the theater and we were the only ones. I don’t think anyone else got the reference.
With and without the animation, they become totally different songs. With the visual it's filled with cringyish comedy, whereas without the visual it's much more serious. I guess I like it in different ways. If I had heard the song without seeing the movie I'd find it beautiful. But because I saw it in the movie first, I find it cringy (but not in a bad way, exactly).
I didn't like it at first.
But now I think it is good
I am a 6 foot, hairy 23 year old manly man and I'm not afraid to admit that I was basically crying from the moment she tamed the water spirit to the end of her power ballet. Maybe longer. So god damn beautiful.
True that, true THAT! This IS beautiful!😍👍😌
Shirokröte I cried when she started going to far into the past until the end of Anna’s song.
30 years old and i cried like a kid when Olaf died. More than a kid cuz my son was just straight faced the whole movie.
21 year old hairy manly man here too and i bawled all the way through Show Yourself. You are not alone 😭😂
60yo guy here, and my eyes started welling up as the music crescendoed when Elsa, astride the Nokk, leapt out from behind that wave and she began to get him under control. But the real moment was when she softly said "Of course, Ahtohallan is Frozen. I hear you. I'm coming..." From that point on, the next 5 minutes were just breathtaking. _Into the Unknown_ is good, but _Show Yourself_ is the real soul of this movie.
I saw this in theaters with two of my friends on a day where I was having a, what I call, depressive episode. I do not have clinical depression, but I sometimes get particularly depressed due to varying reasons. When Anna's song came up, I felt my heart stop in my chest and my breath seize a little. I identified with the song so hard, and had to squeeze the life out of my friend's hands just to keep from sobbing my eyes out. Unfortunately, it did make me choke up and cry. Not sob, but cry. It was so powerful to me, and was kind of refreshing to see in an animated film. Maybe cause I haven't seen anything like that in awhile. I came out of the theater feeling a little...I guess cathartic? Anna's song pretty much solidified Frozen 2 as one of my favorite Disney movies for me.
As a daughter who lost her mother very young this movie hit me real hard when I watched it at midnight last night! Lmao.
Same
I lost my mother about a week before this came out, so seeing it in theaters with all its emotion and motherly stuff just made me bawl like a baby. It was so raw, I still cry whenever I watch it.
My mom died 20 years ago this August and I cry every time I watch this movie
Into the unknown and Show yourself just gives me the chills everytime I hear it. Idina has amazing vocals
And the songwriting is literal genius
I’ll never forget turning to my mom during the climax of “Show Yourself” and seeing that we both had tears streaming down our face. What a song. What a moment.
Ugh, same. The line "You are the one you've been waiting for/all of my life" just hit so *hard* because it said (to me, anyway) that -I didn't- Elsa didn't need to find some miracle to fix all her problems, she was enough.
Same. I was bawling my eyes out. I also felt like it was like a trying your wedding dress on in front of your mum moment and that you could see the pride in her mums eyes as she twirled around. Even the lyric sung by her mum "you are the one you've been waiting for all of your life" is like: you have & you are everything you need in your self and your powers to work with the other spirits
As much of an emotional connection i felt during that song, i was the only one in the theater that wasn't crying. But i do agree of how powerful and full of feeling the song was, it shoulda been the power single of the movie
when she sings "i am found" i cry listening to the song every. single. time. i know i'm gonna cry when it gets on disney+ and i can watch it again
"Show Yourself" is the best song in the movie. I can't understand why "Into the Unknown" gets all the attention. It is a fine song, but "Show Yourself" is so much more emotional.
Another thing I loved was when Kristoff helps Anna escape the giant chase at the very end and what he says to her is "I'm here, what do you need". I felt like it was a great way to show a healthy relationship. He isn't the hero who is saving her, he lets her know that he's there to help her do what she needs to do. They're partners, and I think that's an important and empowering message for a young audience.
“men often suck with the mouth word noise” damn i should show you the words i used to ask out one of my boyfriends it was a total mess
one of them, go on player
What was it? I'm curious
‘Boyfriends’
Awesome👌
Theory: Elsa can control all of the elements, she's just most comfortable with water. While in Ahtohallan she summons a wind, and she usually uses winds to build her snow creatures (Olaf and Marshmallow).
Edit #2: She picks the fire spirit immediately after it was hot enough to literally make the grass spontaneously combust, so she must have some sort of Heat resistance.
Edit Because I thought of this later: In many cultures, the fifth element also tends to be all, or some combination of the other four (aether in alchemy, Akash in hinduism, Japanese void (which really represents unknowable)).
This would also explain her ability to make dresses out of leaves and other materials as seen in the shorts! Maybe we'll get more lore for how her powers work eventually, if Frozen becomes a trilogy.
Oooh this actually makes sense!
I think the fifth spirit is love
I also noticed that Elsa in some way tames/straight-up dominates every other spirit. The only one she doesn't directly confront is the earth giants, and one of them literally walks up and BOWS to her at the end. I have to agree - she's not just 'one of the five', they set us up to believe she's the 'ultimate'. Idk, goddess was the closest word that feels right to me.
The fifth spirit is Elsa because she represents both northuda and arrendelle?
Yeah, i also was suprised that everyone thought movie was that bad.
Siker_7 ever heard of the “royal we?” I imagine it’s something like that. Back then kingdoms were associated with the people that ruled over them and that’s it.
Siker_7 I agree, it doesn’t really make sense nowadays so idk why people are talking about it like that
Is it really everyone, or was it just people on Twitter? It has a 92% audience score in Rotten Tomatoes and people like to complain about everything on Twitter.
As a scientist, I was very disturbed by the plot hinging on homeopathy. People are getting sick and dying because of homeopathy. I don’t want kids being exposed to it.
Yeah, yeah, it’s a magic world where alchemy is real. Very few adults believe in alchemy right now. (Maybe in 20 years? Between Naruto, Avatar, Frozen, Marvel Cinematic Universe, and tons of other comics and anime, alchemy could come back.)
Homeopathy is a problem today. I’m worried about pre-teens hearing “Water has memory” over and over, and then they see homeopathic “water memory” junk therapy, and they’ll be suckered right away.
As for the movie, I thought it was gorgeous, but empty. The skills demonstrated in writing and acting were excellent, and the visuals were very pretty, but the plot felt forced. Of course, the first Frozen also was a mess, so that’s not a big deal. You gotta live with the limitations of the artists and their corporate sponsor.
In christianity we see that blessing flows from the highst point down (goverment, king, emporer to civilians for example in this case) So if the one who is in charge doesn't have there shit toghether or does something wrong than all the people that they rule of are also duped because of there rulers actions. It doesn't seem fair for all the people who are leaving good lifes in that kingdom, but its the kings/queens responsebility to do the right thing. Or the next right thing😉😂
I genuinely like this movie way more. Like, they didn't just throw in a new character to where they can make Elsa a good guy who does some bad things.
