Elsa got her power as a gift because her mother rescued one of her enemy's member, which is Elsa's father. The blessing is somehow only allowing them to have one gifted child, and since Elsa is the first, she is the one who got the power.
The implication, and it's only ever just that, is that Elsa and Anna's mother is herself somehow attuned to the magical forces such that Elsa was given the gift of superpowers. (Why Anna never received such powers is equally vaguely defined: just as Elsa and Anna's father had no powers, so too would she be power-free.
Who is physically stronger, Anna or Elsa (without powers)? Without a shadow of a doubt I would say: Anna. Elsa might be older and taller than Anna but at the end of the day, when they were growing up, she didn't do a lot.
Elsa, princess of Arendelle and heiress to the throne, is born with the ability to create and control ice and snow. As a child, she uses her abilities to create a winter wonderland to play in with her younger sister and best friend, Princess Anna.
The Real Reason Anna Doesn't Have Powers In Frozen
Why is Elsa the only one with powers?
While Iduna's selfless actions were the reason Elsa was bestowed with ice powers to begin with, her daughter received powers instead of her because beings are born with elemental powers in the Frozen universe and don't acquire them later on in life.
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.
Frozen 3 may finally reveal Anna's powers, but it may be that Arendelle's new queen always had magic within her - and that it's connected to Elsa. Since her first appearance in Frozen, fans have wondered if Anna would ever get powers - and Frozen 3 may reveal that she has had them all along.
The ice from which the palace is constructed is capable of taking on different colors, such as purple, blue, red and yellow, based on Elsa's emotional state (blue when she is happy or neutral, yellow or amber when she is angry, and red when she is frightened).
No, their mother and her people only took advantage of the gifts nature offered them. They themselves never had any magic of their own and when Elsa showed up and had magic they were fairly shocked and confused.
Elsa has magic ice powers which automatically makes her cooler than Anna on so many levels. She created an entire ice castle for herself because she wanted to, and there is no fan in the world who could say they wouldn't want this ability.
The filmmakers changing their minds and making Elsa and Anna sisters instead actually saved the movie. Their relationship — the love they have for each other, and the lengths they're willing to go to save the other — is the beating heart of Frozen.
They are both highly intelligent. Elsa was groomed to be Queen from a early age, to the best that she could. This meant hours of lessons on government and diplomatic, probably from her parents but also a tutor. Anna would have received many of the same lessons, but probably not so intense, because she was the “spare”.
In the Disney animated film "Frozen" and its sequel "Frozen II," Elsa's hair changes from blonde to white. This change is symbolic of her growing power and control over her abilities to create and control ice and snow.
While the voice was calling Elsa to reveal her past to her, it was ultimately revealed that Queen Iduna (Evan Rachel Wood) - Elsa's mother - had a lot to explain as well. This, coupled with the reveal that the call was Iduna all along, means Elsa was hearing the voice of her long-lost mother.
Elsa is the fifth spirit, but only because her mother passed the power down through her first child's birth. Elsa cannot be the fifth spirit shown in the forest at the time when her father is still a child. However, Queen Iduna can be.
The palace's ambiance also responds to how Elsa feels about herself - when Elsa is happy and empowered, the palace is blue; when Elsa is embracing herself, the palace is purple; when Elsa is fearful, the palace becomes red, and causes ice shards and cracks to appear throughout the wall; when Elsa is angry, the palace ...
The reveal that she's the fifth spirit doesn't just mean she's a more powerful magic user than before. She died and was reborn to take on her true form like has happened in so many stories before. With that transformation, Frozen 2 has made Elsa an immortal spirit now.
However, the filmmakers were willing to say one thing definitively: "Elsa's not going to have a romantic relationship in this," writer-director Jennifer Lee told a group of journalists gathered at Walt Disney Animation Studios.
The fact that granting Anna powers would invalidate or at least muddle the spirit-human bridge concept is only part of the issue. Aside from the logistical problem it poses, a sudden manifestation of magic in Anna would also take away from the beauty of her character.
Frozen 3 could also naturally bring Elsa and Honeymaren together as a couple since they both live in the same location by the end of Frozen 2: the Enchanted Forest. After Elsa discovers she's the fifth spirit, she finds her calling as the mediator between the natural world and civilization.
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.
There hasn't been any indication that Elsa will have a girlfriend in Frozen III. That said, some fans have theorized that Honeymaren, a member of the Northuldra tribe, will be Elsa's girlfriend in the next Frozen film. Honeymaren was introduced in Frozen II as a resident of the Enchanted Forest.
Moana 2 does not have an official release date, but it will likely be announced in the future. As of early October 2023, Disney has not officially announced the development of Moana 2.
