But is it healthy? In Part I of the Frozen series, I suggested that Elsa experiences something like borderline personality disorder (BPD). In this interpretation, Elsa's frozen rages are an outward display of the emotional dysregulation she feels inside.
Elsa suffers from anxiety, particularly around other people; while the anxiety is depicted as a result of her being unable to control her powers, it is still social anxiety and, since it often appears even when everything seems to be going well, could also be considered GAD.
Elsa, however, is risk-averse, anxious, and self-doubting. This is her biggest test. She must accept her crown and scepter with ungloved hands. Should she slip up or let her emotions overwhelm her, she may let the magic out, revealing who she really is.
Elsa willingly banishes herself to her room so that she can protect her sister. The memory of striking her sister is so traumatic that she avoids Anna at all costs so that she will not harm her. This becomes more evident throughout the movie.
10 DISNEY PRINCESSES Whith Serious Mental Disorders 👸😵
Which Disney character has PTSD?
Snow White can be classified as having Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The Princess meets all eight of the criteria listed in the DSM-V to diagnose PTSD (See Appendix A). First, she directly experiences a traumatic event relating to a near death experience (Criterion A1).
And while Elsa has PTSD, Anna suffers from a similar, yet very different, ordeal. Hit in the head by ice, and then mind-wiped, Anna has a lack of coordination, lack of balance, an extremely overly-impulsive attitude, poor judgement, compulsive behavior, and lack of memory. Anna has a traumatic brain injury.
Although Elsa's disability is encoded as a magical ice power, the language the film uses to talk about her condition maps on to the experiences of people with physical, mental, and intellectual disabilities in recognizable ways.
Elsa is never properly identified as asexual or aromantic, something that would help immensely to increase visibility and awareness. Considering Disney's record with LGBT characters (remember the underwhelming 'gay moment' in Beauty and the Beast?)
There's an air of playfulness and adventure surrounding both of them, but that's abruptly cut short when Elsa accidentally hurts Anna with her power one night. The near-fatal injury is one that Anna appears to quickly get over -- but Elsa is never the same afterward.
Anna and Elsa are very different. After years of isolation and fear, Elsa is quiet and introverted – unlike her sister Anna, who is bubbly and optimistic. However, they manage to overcome the wedge driven between them by Elsa's powers and end Frozen closer than ever.
Elsa's magic alone is enough to excite anyone. With her ability to literally raise ice castles from nothing, construct gorgeous snow gowns, create giant snow beasts, and wrangle water stallions, Elsa's powers are pretty incredible. What child wouldn't want to spontaneously create snow or a snowman?
With only a fruitcake, Olaf journeys into the woods, and is attacked by vicious wolves while traversing through. He narrowly escapes them, but loses the fruitcake shortly thereafter to a hawk. Depressed at having failed Anna and Elsa, Olaf wanders into the night, depressed, and figures it would be best to remain lost.
The result of this research shows that Count Olaf has a personality disorder called antisocial personality disorder. Antisocial personality disorder is also known as psychopathy, sociopathy, or dyssocial personality.
On February 8, 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that Frozen 3 is in the works, along with Toy Story 5 and Zootopia 2. While news of a third Frozen film was a welcome one, we have yet to hear more details about the movie or see a trailer. Here's everything we know about Frozen 3.
Honeymaren, a member of the Northuldra tribe who was trapped in the Enchanted Forest by the curse, could return for Frozen 3 as Elsa's girlfriend based on the two characters' shared chemistry.
Elsa's opening narration reflects on grief and death. She has left her post with the cattle, staying instead by the wagons. One morning, she leaves the wagons to sit by herself after getting her period (she won't be carrying Ennis' child).
In a few attention-grabbing works shown here, two of Disney's most prominent characters, Cinderella and Snow White, use a wheelchair, while Pocahontas and Jasmine deal with their own circumstance.
As well as struggling to come to terms with the emotional turmoil of puberty, adolescence, and, indeed, sexual development, Elsa must also negotiate her chaotic magical powers and assume the very adult responsibility of ruling a kingdom.
The Disneyland Resort offers a host of services to help Guests with cognitive disabilities—including those on the Autism Spectrum—maximize their Resort experience. Services include: Advance Ticket Purchase. Stroller and Wheelchair Rental.
Elsa fears she will not be accepted by her sister or her town. This feeling worsens as her parents pass away. Now with no one having knowledge of her powers the pressure increases for her to stay hidden. As she becomes required to attend her coronation, she begins overthinking how she will keep her powers hidden.
Only Anna attended their parents funeral as we see on "Do you want to build a snowman". Instead Elsa froze her entire room and likely was unable to even physically open the door as she lay there crying.
She also said that in frozen 2 she wasn't fit or ready for a relationship at all, and also said that she is not sure if it ever will in the future, not making guarantees. Just because Elsa finally learned to love herself doesn't mean she is ready for romance, in fact she might not even be trying to look for one at all.
