Frozen (Disney film): Difference between revisions

* [[Awesome Anachronistic Apparel]]: Elsa's off-the-shoulder ice-blue gown is gorgeous and turns her into a sub-zero sex kitten, but is ''way'' too 20th-century for medieval Arendelle.

* [[Big Bad]]: [[Large Ham|The Duke of Weselton]]. He remains an active threat through the movie and the audience has come to believe that he's the main mastermind, but they couldn't be more wrong. The duke fancies himself as the mastermind, planning to exploit Arendelle for its riches but is unable to hide his intentions. When Elsa runs away and causes the eternal winter, he tries to restore the kingdom [[Pragmatic Villainy|for his own benefit]]. He sends [[The Dragon|Admiral Hans Westergård]] and [[Those Two Bad Guys|his two bodyguards]] on a rescue mission to kill Elsa, but Prince Hans saves her. Hans then proceeds to frame Elsa's accidental freezing Anna's heart as intentional murder, leaves Anna to die and sentences Elsa to death, so he can claim the throne for himself. This turns the Duke into a complete non-entity.

* [[Characters As Device]]: Hans is the mirror from The Snow Queen in human form, always reflecting the emotions of people around them back at them. Even [http://imgur.com/gallery/fNQ0K confirmed] by [[Word of God]].

* [[Closed Door Rapport]]: Anna and Elsa during the opening "growing up" [[Montage]]/musical number.

* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Anna.}}

* [[Dodgy Toupee]]: The Duke of Weselton, to the point of practically flapping in the wind.

* [[Everything's Worse with Wolves]]: Especially below-zero nighttime rides on reindeer-drawn ice sleds.

* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: Subverted. Elsa's transformation of her modest medieval garb to something out of a Hollywood movie is not an indication that she's become evil, but that she's finally begun to accept herself as she is.

* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: While ''The Snow Queen'' is built around playing this trope straight, this story is a definite subversion.

* [[Gorgeous Garment Generation]]: During the closing bars of "Let It Go", Elsa transforms her medieval outfit into a slinky, sparkly gown with a high slit that wouldn't be out of place on a Hollywood starlet at the Oscars.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Hans confesses and apologizes to Anna for trying to kill Elsa by saying that [[This Cannot Be!|she froze her heart]].

* [[An Ice Person]]: Elsa, of course, as the Snow Queen of this tale.
