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.
Anna doesn't find out about Elsa's powers again, until much later at her coronation, three years after their parents died in a shipwreck. But a deleted scene, in Frozen 2, reveals that right before her parents left on that journey, they had plans to reveal the truth.
First, Elsa and Anna are both queens by the conclusion of Frozen 2. Elsa reigns over Arendelle for three years before abdicating the crown, taking the mantle of the Snow Queen. Her sister, Anna, then occupies her sister's former throne, becoming the Queen of Arendelle.
The Real Reason Anna Doesn't Have Powers In Frozen
What is Elsa's disability?
Anna's parents rush her to the sacred realm, where discussions with the trolls reveal that Elsa was born with her powers/ depigmentation and deafness, rather than them being due to illness or accident. Grand Pabbie troll heals Anna but removes her memories of Elsa's magic.
With the spirits as her guide, Elsa follows the call to Ahtohallan, where she discovers that she is the fifth spirit of the Enchanted Forest—the bridge that connects magic and people. Elsa accepts her role and uses her powers to reveal the truth about King Runeard and his dam, passing that truth to her sister Anna.
Anna is cured by magical forest trolls, but to prevent any future accidents, their parents decide that Elsa must hide her powers until she learns to control them They also erase Anna's memories of Elsa's magic without telling Anna why Elsa must avoid her.
Slate critic Inkoo Kang said that although Frozen II was obviously influenced by Sámi history, the Northuldra may also be interpreted as representing displaced Native Americans; Arendelle can be seen as representing the United States' colonial past, evocative of the embellished life of Pocahontas.
Spurred on by the awakening of magic, the pair are forced to uncover the truth behind their parent's disappearance and a surprising connection between Elsa and her mother. Frozen 2 revealed that Elsa and Anna's mother was also able to connect with the magical powers that help make Elsa the lost "fifth element".
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.
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”.
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.
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.
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.
(Note: Much of Frozen 2 appears to be a reaction to the reaction the first film received for not including many people of color and for “whitewashing.” The problem with how Frozen 2 handled this is that they really couldn't up and change the race of the lead characters, so instead they just had them retroactively ...
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.
It makes them think they can defy the will of a king! Runeard voicing his disapproval of magic. King Runeard is the posthumous main antagonist of Disney's 2019 animated feature film, Frozen II. He was the ruler of Arendelle, and the father of King Agnarr.
This is a plot point carried over from the first movie, since near the beginning of Frozen, the troll Grand Pabbie uses magic to remove Anna's memories of Elsa's powers in order to protect her, but this is never resolved in the movie; once Anna (and the rest of Arendelle) becomes aware of Elsa's powers as an adult, it ...
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.
The king and queen hurriedly take Anna to the mountain trolls for help. The trolls' leader, Pabbie, is able to heal her but at the cost of any memory Anna has of Elsa's magic.
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. Like how Frozen 2's other four spirits appear as animals but more than just that, Elsa still appears human but is more than just that.
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.
Because of the kingdom's negative feelings towards the Northuldra, Iduna kept her heritage a secret for many years, though she finally told him everything shortly before their deaths. Agnarr and Iduna's oldest daughter (Elsa) was born with the power to control ice and snow.
