Top 10 Things that Would Have Made Frozen a Better Film
Every time I rewatch this movie, I have a hard time believing that the Hans in the beginning is the same as the Hans at the end. I've come to one conclusion: Hans genuinely liked Anna, but he was so lost in his quest for power and the throne that he lost sight of even his own feelings. Hans is less of a villain and more of a sad story about a boy overshadowed by his older brothers, forced to find his own way. He just went down the wrong path, that's all.
The twist at the end felt very... tidy. It seemed like they thought, "Well, we can't have Anna just leave Hans for Kristoff, so we have to make him EVIL so that way she doesn't have to make a choice." It seems very lazy to me. I honestly believe having Hans not be the one for her but still being a good guy would have been the smarter way to go.
He offers no contribution to the movie at all. It would be exactly the same without him - in fact, even better, as we wouldn't have to listen to his cheesy, random jokes.
He wasn't needed. He was just somebody who Anna and Elsa played with when they were kids. (I like the movie, but I wouldn't call myself a fan.)
Olaf was an extremely pointless character. If he hadn't been in the film, the story would have been the same.
I usually thought he was the bad one, but the twist seemed... too twisted. If they're doing this for another REALLY BORING "happy ending," then yeah, go on! A happy ending is always good, but can we at least have a little touch of a bad ending? Also, I think Anna would go better with Hans than with an icy slob (#hatingkristoff4ever). The Duke would have had more use in the movie, but NO! The creators went the boring way. Removing the Duke from the story is just the same as removing the trolls (who are actual trollfaces) and the suicidal Olaf.
Another naive Disney princess. Elsa had to be locked up (bad idea in the first place), but Anna should have been able to leave the castle whenever she wanted.
So you want Elsa to be carefree then?
They kinda just... were there. No important role in the movie, no significant lines or part of the plot. I get why they were there, but they weren't necessary and were too undeveloped and unexplained.
The trolls were unnecessary and forgettable characters. Their removal wouldn't have affected the story.
Thank you for putting this on the list. I don't like the portrayal of Anna and Elsa as sisters at all, especially because of the love-hate relationship, particularly the strife at the coronation ball party. I don't think Anna and Elsa should be together in the same film at all. They shouldn't be raised in the same royal Norwegian kingdom together either. In fact, I don't think they should even be in the same canon universe. The portrayal of Anna and Elsa as sisters was a bad idea - a nightmare that came true.
It's not fair or right that neither Elsa nor Anna have any mother figures to comfort them, give them guidance, and show them affection. Ingrid and Helga (from Once Upon A Time) are their maternal aunts, for crying out loud. They deserved to be in the movie, Frozen, like they should've been - not just in the show Once Upon A Time. They would have been there for Elsa and Anna too.
I don't like the portrayal of Elsa and Anna as orphaned sisters. It was a bad idea that added unnecessary tragedy. The story could have been more interesting if their parents had lived.
It takes place in Norway instead of Russia because... why?
The Newcomers
Elsa's ice magical powers really deserve to be more controllable, safer, tamer, and stronger gifts than they are so far, don't they?
Man, I'll never understand why Sven doesn't talk when he deserves to.
Sven is the only character in Frozen that I actually like! I love Sven.
I would love that. Sven was a little funny without talking, but if he could talk, the movie would be better.
Or blame the writers and directors for not including another Snow Queen who's the true main antagonist, just like the titular, original Snow Queen herself. The pure evil Snow Queen could have been portrayed as Elsa's wicked stepmother in the movie Frozen.
The point of the movie is not about the usual evil, superpowered witch trying to kill everyone. It's about someone who can't control her powers. Making Elsa evil would ruin the point of the movie and make it generic. There's a reason they changed it.
They were originally going to make Frozen with Elsa as the villain. I wonder what the movie would have been like if they hadn't changed the plot.
Come on, writers of Frozen and Once Upon A Time. Are there any other royals who were born with ice magic besides just Elsa and Ingrid (from Once Upon A Time)? Yes? No?
Ugh. The creators of Frozen really should've revealed more knowledge, information, facts, revelations, and proof back then.
It's no wonder there are reasons why Tangled is better than Frozen.
Yeah! We all agree with you. Time traveling ought to be the best solution to Anna's problems, especially her blindness ever since she was unfairly isolated without truthful, honest explanations. It would have been the fairest option so far.
Yeah! We all agree with you. Time traveling is the best, even better solution for Princess Anna of Arendelle and her mother, Gerda (from Once Upon A Time).
I also agree. Whenever you have a conversation about Frozen, it almost always centers around her. Heck, in the movie, the story basically treats Elsa like the most important person in the world to the point where almost every scene has at least one mention of her.
If you ask me, the idea of Anna never feeling overshadowed by Elsa in the canon version is incredibly boring. It takes away any tension between the sisters and makes the story less compelling.
