* [[Award Bait Song]]: "Let It Go", which ended up winning the [[Oscar Bait|2014 Academy Award for Best Song]]. Its potential was understood from the moment it was first played for the production team: they rewrote the entire movie into a completely original story because it was entirely too positive and life-affirming to be a [[Villain Song]] and they didn't want to lose it.
* [[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|PrinceAdmiral 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.
* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: The Duke of Weasel-Town ("[[Running Gag|WESELTON!]]") and Hans become this.
* [[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]].
Line 43:
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Anna.}}
* [[Dodgy Toupee]]: The Duke of Weselton, to the point of practically flapping in the wind.
* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|PrinceAdmiral Hans Westergård}} to [[Big Bad|the Duke of Weselton]].
* [[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.
