We break it down. When Frozen 2 came out six years after Frozen, time had also passed between the two stories. The characters of Arendelle experienced three years between the two stories, meaning that a few years worth of events had transpired for Elsa, Anna, and their friends.
Frozen 2 (stylized as Frozen II) is a 2019 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures as the sequel to Frozen (2013).
I wouldn't reccomend watching the sequel without first watching Frozen. This is because - from the trailer - we know that the girls parents will be more featured in the second film. The first film would give you the background on the whole family and the way things were for them as the girls grew up.
The film takes place three years after the events of Frozen. Elsa is 24 years old and Anna is 21 years old. The film also takes place two years after Frozen Fever, which shows Anna's 19th birthday.
FROZEN 2. In Frozen, Elsa feared her powers were too much for the world. In Frozen 2, she must hope they are enough. This sequel to Disney's 2013 blockbuster sees the return of all your beloved favorite characters in an exciting new adventure.
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.
The symbolic explanation for why Elsa froze is more straightforward. Elsa freezes in response to the trauma of discovering her family's colonial past. Similar to the plot in Frozen, Elsa is overcome with emotion and loses control of her powers — she is so overwhelmed by her own ice magic that she is literally frozen.
In the first Frozen movie, Elsa's age was 21, while Anna was 18. Considering Frozen revolved around Elsa's coronation, it's refreshing to see that Arendelle waited until she was a more appropriate age to receive the queen title. Frozen II occurred after a 3-year time jump, with Elsa now 24 and Anna 21.
Among the main criticisms of Frozen 2 are that a lot of the introduction feels like it's moving the characterization backward, it doesn't hit the emotional depths of the first, and while the story is ambitious, it doesn't quite work in execution.
Say the names quickly in sequence to hear the similarity. According to Jennifer Lee, Anna is 18 years old in the film, while both Elsa and Kristoff are 21 years old and Hans is 23 years old.
Olaf appears in the sequel Frozen II, where he no longer needs a permanent snow flurry, as he is now made of permafrost, and enjoys being able to freely bask in the sun year-round. Now three years old, Olaf is slightly more intelligent and mature.
Frozen II is a beautiful continuation of one of the greatest animated films ever made. We know the story and characters from the 2013 film, so it's not as original, surprising and innovative as the first one, but as the story evolves so does the animation.
However, the other date is for a Walt Disney Pictures co-production with Walt Disney Animation Studios. This is almost certainly the provisional Frozen 3 release date. The date set by Disney is 26 November 2025, so this is when Frozen 3 is likely to be released.
Disney's Frozen 2 sees Elsa searching for who she really is as she follows a mysterious voice. In Disney+'s Into the Unknown: Making of Frozen 2 co-director Jennifer Lee confirms the voice is Elsa's mother Iduna (Evan Rachel Wood) who she sees as she reaches Ahtohallan in the ice.
His first appearance in Frozen is during Anna and Elsa's childhood as a snowman. Later, Olaf is recreated during the first chorus of "Let It Go", and unknown to Elsa, comes to life. Two days later, Anna and Kristoff and Sven cross paths with Olaf while traveling through a meadow.
The film covers deep and heavy topics unknown to Disney princess films. The first Frozen broke the Disney formula by sharing “true love” doesn't need to be romantic. The second film addresses loss, grief, depression, and how to find hope and personal growth through life's uncertainties.
Overall, the soundtrack didn't fit the movie as it didn't match the plot at all. They were all pretty much random, and I think they were trying something different, more mature, but they ended up failing. The graphics portrayed and covered up most of the terrible plot.
So, even though the mission of Frozen 2 was to explain the lore of Elsa and Arendelle, large chunks of this backstory were cut from the film by Disney. What is left is a confusing, hard-to-follow mess that feels less like a compelling story and more like a YouTube explainer video.
The people of Arendelle are joyously preparing for her coronation day. Anna (now 18) is flushed with excitement as the castle gates are opened for the first time since the sisters' childhood.
How tall is Olaf the snowman in Frozen, really? After the release of Frozen 2, fans were surprised to see Olaf's height listed as 5'4" on the Frozen Wiki - which would make Elsa tower over him at over eleven feet tall.
At 21 years of age in the original film and 24 in the sequel, Elsa is a beautiful young woman, has a tall and slender build, blue eyes, rosy cheeks, thin pink lips, a small nose, long, platinum-blonde hair, and pale skin with a light dusting of freckles (a trait she shares with her sister Anna, though less prominent).
While it's true that the center of Frozen as a franchise has always been the relationship between Elsa and Anna, Frozen 2 gives Anna and Kristoff a rather elaborate plot about getting engaged; meanwhile, when it comes to love interests, Elsa gets nothing.
With Elsa dead, Olaf's connection to her powers is gone, and so he disappears because he can no longer exist. Of course, he is later brought back to life when Elsa is too, but the full sequence of events isn't shown.
Eventually, in a visually impressive centerpiece sequence, Elsa travels on her own to a far-off glacier and learns the truth about the past: the previous king of Arendelle (Elsa and Anna's grandfather) wasn't a peaceful ruler, but had engineered a fake get-together with his own troops and the Northuldra in an attempt ...
