And how did I miss that I'd typoed a trope name? Moved an example from the kids books to that page. Expanded/corrected a trope. Added a trope.
(expanded trope, added proper quote markup to quote)

Line 29:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: The Duke of <strike>Weaseltown</strike>Weselton, for sufficiently medieval values of "corporate" and "executive".
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Gerda and Kai were the heroine and damsel in [[The Snow Queen]].
* [[Development Hell]]: Oh my Lord. This film is over 70 years in the making! ''The Snow Queen'' got a place on the Disney production schedule -- asproductionas production #1092 -- a year or two afte ''[[Snow White (Disney film)|Snow White]]'', but was shelved with no preproduction development work (that anyone can find in the Disney archives, at least). As far as ''this'' incarnation was concerned, Disney planned to produce it in the 90's as a hand-drawn feature. But they scrapped it during their change in management and their shift to CG features starting with ''[[Chicken Little]]'' and only just recently picked it up again.
* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: Practically the first line of the Duke of Weselton, after musing about how he'll use the occasion of Elsa's coronation to figure out how to exploit Arendelle's resources.
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Anna.}}
Line 36:
* [[Fairy Tale]]
* [[False Widow|False Widower]]: {{spoiler|In order to seize the throne of Arendelle, Hans claims that he married Anna in the minutes before she died from her sister's attack, when in fact he has locked her away to die.}}
* [[Finishing Each Other's SentenceSentences]]: Played with in Hans' and Anna's duet:
{{quote|'''Hans:''' Finishing each other's...
'''Anna:''' Sandwiches!
'''Hans:''' I was going to say that!}}
* [[First Guy Wins]]: {{spoiler|Averted. The first guy Anna meets turns out to be a murderous bastard out to seize the throne of Arendelle. The ''second'' guy, however... Well, the ending of the film makes it pretty clear that Arendelle has no problems with nobility and commoners smooching in public.}}
* [[Flung Clothing]]: Anna in a deleted scene.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Hans. Maybe. Even though it's implied that his older brothers are good men at the end of the film, it sounds like at least some of them took brotherly teasing and pranks a bit too far:}}
Line 64 ⟶ 65:
* [[Outnumbered Sibling]]: {{spoiler|Hans. Not in gender, but in ''morality'' -- it's implied that all twelve of his brothers are good men and will not take his plotting in Arendelle very well.}}
* [[Power Incontinence]]: Take it easy on the [[Cat's Cradle|Ice-9]] there, Elsa. This trope is the prime mover for the whole plot.
* [[Prince Charming]]: From the moment we first see him, Prince Hans is the classic embodiment of this type as traditionally presented by Disney, right down to a typical [[Meet Cute]] moment with Anna. {{spoiler|However, he actually turns out to be a charming [[Manipulative Bastard]] initially planning to seduce Elsa into marrying him so he can then kill her and take her throne. He switches to Anna when Elsa turns herselfout intoo be too hard to seduce, and is grateful that Elsa's turned herself a convenient monster fromso he can safely eliminate her and open up his pointpath to ofthe viewthrone.}}
** Also occurs in the sequel novels to a lesser extent, during a picnic with her friends Anna realizes Elsa (who was busy helping her subjects) needs her when it suddenly starts snowing.
* [[Prince Charming]]: From the moment we first see him, Prince Hans is the classic embodiment of this type as traditionally presented by Disney, right down to a typical [[Meet Cute]] moment with Anna. {{spoiler|However, he actually turns out to be a charming [[Manipulative Bastard]] initially planning to seduce Elsa into marrying him so he can then kill her and take her throne. He switches to Anna when Elsa turns herself in a convenient monster from his point of view.}}
* [[Raised by Natives|Raised by Rock Trolls]]: Kristof.
* [[Running Gag]]: "Weaseltown".
