Line 7:
Released on November 27th, 2013, ''Frozen'' quickly became the highest grossing animated film yet made.
A series of sequel novels
Not to be confused with the 2010 drama/thriller film [[Frozen (film)|of the same name]].
Line 32:
* [[Hate Sink]]: since this story almost is a case of [[No Antagonist]], the Duke of Weselton provides a handy dose of ineffective annoyance.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Elsa, of course, as the Snow Queen of this tale.
* [[Impossibly Delicious Food]]: Flangendorfers, are the lots of delicious ingredients in one recipe variety. Florian's Great-Uncle Klaus supposedly got the recipe form trolls, but Anna and Elsa both find this claim to be dubious, and even Florian admits he wouldn't be surprised if his uncle was the one who made the original recipe.
* [[Gingerbread Bakery|Gingerbread House]]: Florian's Famous Flangendorfers
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Hans Kristof Anna Sven.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Applied to the young Anna by the rock trolls, making her forget Elsa's accidental attack on her.
Line 41 ⟶ 43:
* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: [[Hans Christian Andersen|Hans Kristof Anna Sven]].
* [[Nearly-Normal Animal]]: Kristof's reindeer Sven appears to be a Mostly-Normal Animal, but he shows signs of having human or near-human intelligence.
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: In ''All Hail the Queen', it's starts snowing due to Elsa's exhaustion from over using her powers. The snow stops as soon as she faints from exhaustion.
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]:
** Sven the reindeer to Kristof.
** Olaf to both Kristof and Anna.
* [[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.
** 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.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: In the first sequel novel, Elsa and Anna prove to be this. Most notably, {{spoiler|designing and helping install a plumbing system without using Elsa's magic.}}
* [[Running Gag]]: "Weaseltown".
* [[Shout-Out]]s:
Line 58 ⟶ 63:
* [[Subverted Trope]]: This movie is ''filled'' with subversions of the "expected" features of Disney films, which is probably one reason why the [[Moral Guardians]] who seem to think that Disney is ''theirs'' freaked out over it.
* [[True Love's Kiss]]: Invoked and averted six ways to Sunday. Everyone assumes that to reverse her curse, Anna will need a kiss from her [[Meet Cute]] Prince Hans. {{spoiler| Not only does her prince not care for her, but he locks her in a cold room to freeze to death. And then the audience is supposed to assume it's that other nice boy Kristof. But she never kisses him. Her "act of true love" comes from inside her own heart, as she make a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save her sister.}}
* [[Supreme Chef]]: Florian.
* [[Villain Song]]: Averted by "Let It Go", which makes it very clear the apparent villain is just as much a victim as anyone else.
* [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]]: The rock trolls. And the merchant on the mountainside.
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Played for Drama, the climax of the first sequel novel ''All Hail the Queen'' is caused by all of the villagers expecting Elsa to use her powers to solve their problems.
* [[Winter Royal Lady]]: Elsa.
* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: The trolls dismissing head injuries as trivial and easy to fix compared to damage to the heart. Then again, this ''is'' a fairy tale, and this may be as much a metaphorical moral as a literal diagnosis.
