Line 22:
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: While ''The Snow Queen'' is built around playing this trope straight, this story is a definite subversion.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Elsa, of course, as the Snow Queen of this tale.
* [[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.
* [[Massive Numbered Siblings]]: Hans is the youngest of ''thirteen'' brothers. {{spoiler|Which puts him so far from the throne that he's willing to lie and kill to become a king ''anywhere''.}}
* [[The Matchmaker]]: Every last rock troll. They get an entire production number about [[Shipping]] Anna and Kristof.
* [[Meet Cute]]: Princess Anna meeting Prince Hans as she trips past him into a rowboat.
* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Prince Hans.}}
* [[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.
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]:
** Sven to Kristof.
** Olaf to both Sven 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.
* [[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".
* [[Shout-Out]]: "Marshmallow", the giant snowman created by Elsa to defend herself, is a reference to [[Ghostbusters|the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man]].
* [[Snowlems]]: Olaf is clearly Type I. Marshmallow is hard to categorize; created by Elsa to defend herself, it clearly has Type III aspects. But it doesn't seem to be inherently evil -- just protective of its creator.
* [[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
* [[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.
* [[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.
* [[Youngest Child Wins]]: {{spoiler|Subverted by Hans, who is the youngest of thirteen brothers, and a charming but ruthless villain out to seize the throne of Arendelle for himself. Fortunately, he doesn't succeed and is returned to his brothers for punishment.}}
