While many viewers knew that she'd surely be alright since this is a Disney film and love cured a frozen heart before, the confirmation of Elsa's death via Olaf's disappearance made it that much darker in the second film.
(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 ...
Some parts may be difficult for younger or sensitive kids, although my kid was fine. For several minutes of the movie, two main characters are thought to be dead and we see the intense grief of a remaining character. If this upsets your kids but they still want to watch, you may tell them the ending will be happy.
Frozen II is rated PG by the MPAA for action/peril and some thematic elements. Violence: A battle is briefly shown and men fight with swords and shields. No injuries are seen.
Frozen 2 went through several changes during its development process, including removing a disturbing feature from one character. In Disney's Art of Frozen 2, the filmmakers note that creating the Wind Spirit was an interesting challenge for the movie.

Is Frozen 3 confirmed?
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.
Instead, they redesigned the Norwegian-inspired outfit for Anna, using the cape, higher hemline, and highly-detailed boots to demonstrate how much the princess had matured in Frozen 2.
In the process, though, the movie takes a very sharp turn and becomes one of Disney's darkest movies to date, with Elsa's journey a bit scarier than we first assumed. In seeking answers to her origin story, Elsa realizes her dad, King Agnarr, was saved by her mom, Queen Iduna.
Anna and Kristoff are a couple, and they show affection for each other several times: hugging, a peck on the cheek, him carrying her, one big kiss and embrace.
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.
In an overall sense, Frozen 2 has a better storyline than its predecessor. It deals with some heavier themes, has different consequences, it's just stronger overall. Frozen 2 goes deeper, and digs into Elsa and Anna's background in some new ways.
Since there is no predetermined psychological association with the word “frozen” to link the child's mind to the boy category or the girl category, children will predetermine, based on the title, that the movie is for both genders.
The directors also confirmed that, despite becoming the fifth spirit, Elsa is still human and therefore mortal. It is unknown if this applies to the other spirits as well. It's possible that Bruni shares this trait with Elsa as they are both organic, unlike the other spirits.
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.
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.
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.
In addition to the violent scenes mentioned above, Frozen 2 has some scenes that could scare or disturb children under five years. For example: There are creepy eyes and shadows on the wall of a cave that Olaf passes through. The images might frighten some young viewers.
Frozen II occurred after a 3-year time jump, with Elsa now 24 and Anna 21. The Frozen movies seem to be one of the few animated Disney franchises to consider 21 an ideal age to rule.
Elsa and Ennis share their first kiss in Episode 4 while guarding the cattle herd, right before Elsa's father, James catches them. It's a sweet, relatively innocent moment for the budding young couple, and that innocence is maintained throughout the night.
Both have blue eyes yet Elsa's eyes are cool blue and Anna's are warm turquoise. Two sisters who are (most probably) the same Image Archetype but are vastly different Colour Types. Can this happen in real life?
Queen Elsa also has a new do – her white-blonde hair is tied back, with the tail falling loosely down her back, for a pretty but glam, laid-back style. She uses her own hair to secure the loose low ponytail, leaving just a few tresses to frame her face.
The massive rock giants hurl boulders, destroying the dam and sending a flood down the fjord towards the kingdom. Elsa is released and rides the water spirit to Arendelle, where she freezes the flood and saves the kingdom. As the mist disappears, she rejoins Anna and revives Olaf.
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.
“Elsa was blue and had black spiky short hair,” Lee says. The character went through many iterations before landing on her final beauty look of a thick white-blonde side braid, white skin, and an impressive purple smoky eye.
It was after that the decision was made to fully commit to the voice calling to Elsa being that of her mother, Iduna. As Marc Smith, Frozen 2's Director of Story, notes in the documentary, the idea "unifies the movie" since it starts with a flashback featuring Iduna and Agnarr, and it brings those elements together.
