Let It Go In The Fifth Season Of Disney Speedstorm

Do you want to read an article [36]? It has been ten years since the release of Frozen, one of Disney’s most successful modern films [15] [31] [58]. Its popularity and memorability have even been parodied in the second season of the Danger Mouse reboot [7]. Its well-deserved sequel, Frozen II provided some new songs and character development and is considered one of the best films of 2019 besides Joker and Avengers: Endgame [5] [37] [45]. Well, not everybody considered the sequel to be one of the best [1] [3]. In honour of the tenth anniversary of Princess Anna’s quest to reunite with her older sister [36], the fifth season of Disney Speedstorm has begun with a blizzard featuring the beloved main cast from Arendelle during the conclusion of Lewis Hamilton’s collaboration with Rocket League and the first few critical takes on Wish, Disney’s newest animated film starring seventeen-year-old Asha in a whole new kingdom [28] [34] [44] [53] [54]. Previously, Aladdin, Jasmine, Jafar and the Genie competed on a different kind of ride in the fourth season [22]. As the frosted highlight begins the fifth season for those who love Frozen unconditionally [28] [34], let us hope that the new racetracks caked in snow and ice will not be too slippery to race on!

This is quite an interesting way to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of Frozen aside from a new attraction known as “The World Of Frozen” in Hong Kong Disneyland and a pair of celebratory dolls if you ask me [28] [34] [38] [42] [62]. There are many more ways to celebrate ten years of an unforgettable tale of two sisters’ forced separation [4] [15] [17] [39] [65] [66]. Oh! And did I mention that there are now some shop adjustments in response to feedback from players [56]? [28] [34]

Determination is an open door for a bunch of new racers from Frozen [28] [34], including: 

• Elsa, the insecure but independent snow queen who I can deeply relate to [21] [67]
• Anna, Elsa’s selfless and quirky younger sister [20]
• Hans, Anna’s first love interest until his true colours were revealed [23] [36]
• Kristoff, the iceman who befriended Anna and became her second love interest [24]
• Olaf, the loveable snowman who likes warm hugs [25] [36]

Oh! And let us not forget about Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Ortensia joining the races for those who are humbled by the vibes of black and white cartoons from the 1920s and 1930s known as the “Rubber Hose” era [26] [27] [46]. All the characters look quite snazzy in all their racer outfits, which is what Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles “Tails” Prower and Amy Rose could have notably had in the Sonic Riders series [57] [61], but at least Pauline and Peachette look amazing in theirs in the sixth and final wave of downloadable content for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe [50]. Who knows who will be part of a pack of playable characters in the sixth season [29]? Perhaps the main cast of Tangled or the main stars of The Princess and the Frog could be the next big highlight [59] [60].

Queen Elsa of Arendelle is an embodiment of mental health awareness within an unmistakable portrayal [36] [37] [55]. It would be no surprise if I get a chance to race as her [67]. As for Hans, I guess letting him become a racer is a way to give him some redemption after the big twist in the first film [28] [34] [36]. [28] [34]

It looks like Sven, Kristoff’s reindeer companion is a new crew member [28] [29] [34]. Say, you hopeless romantics do not suspect that the fifth season of Disney Speedstorm is the time when Kristoff started to get a little more smitten with Anna, despite being one of her opponents, no [36]? [28] [34]

If you are a fan of Frozen and you love to compete in racing games, show yourself for the royal sisters of Arendelle and their co-stars in the fifth season of Disney Speedstorm [28] [34] [37]. Disney may have received some flak for being “woke” these days [9] [13] [35] [47] [48], but the “wokeness” never bothered me anyway [36]. Aside from how the Disney devotees will not hold it back as they cherish the chill of the wintery racetracks [28] [34], the stars could start to align and sinners could take it as a sign in a music video starring Stolas from Helluva Boss this December [6] [40] [43] [49], the same time when The Last of Us Part II Remastered is available for PlayStation 5 owners to pre-order [52]. I suppose that some Disney devotees ought to watch Olaf’s Frozen Adventures once again to feel festive during the Christmas break [18] [19] [51]. But before you unwrap your presents from under your tree and dine on a roasted turkey or a bucket of KFC with your family [2] [12], let it go with Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Olaf or even Hans in the fifth season of Disney Speedstorm, starting with the first time in forever [28] [34] [36]. Okay! I will stop making references to the songs now! 

If the wintery Frozen vibes of the fifth season of Disney Speedstorm are a bit too chilly for you [28] [34], feel free to warm up for a battle with SpongeBob SquarePants in the new Bikini Bottom map in Brawlhalla [8] [68]. [8]

Until then, Happy 100^th Anniversary, Disney [30]! Happy 95th Anniversary, Mickey Mouse [16] [38] [63]! Happy 10^thAnniversary, Frozen! Happy 60^th Anniversary, Doctor Who [32] [33]! Happy 25^th Anniversary to The Powerpuff Girls [10] [11] [63]! And happy 50^th Anniversary, Hello Kitty [41]! [28] [34]

Do You Want To Watch Once Upon A Snowman?

Do you watch to watch more Frozen? Well, ever since after the outstanding acclaim of Frozen back in late 2013 [9], Disney and our Frozen fanatics let its legacy franchise rage on with some expansions [11] [17], including Frozen Fever, an animated short about the celebration of Princess Anna’s birthday that was released in theatres with the enchanting live-action remake of Cinderella back in early 2015 [5] [10]. Since I can strongly relate to the ice queen Elsa and see her ice powers as a metaphor for my autism [3], Frozen II was my most highly anticipated film of 2019 [36] [37] [40] [41]. Throughout 2020, the world of Frozen was expanded with several shorts starring a certain snowman who likes warm hugs and a virtual-reality short titled “Myth: A Frozen Tale” [29] [32] [38] [39]. I cannot help but let the title of yet another regular animated short that is yet to stream on Disney+ remind me of Once Upon A Deadpool because it is simply “Once Upon A Snowman” [1] [2] [6]. Aside from that, I am more than delighted that we will get to see more of the innocent and happy-go-lucky snowman in 2020 because I simply cannot stand the negative impacts this year has brought on many of us anymore [8] [21].

Behold! Another Frozen short! Only four more days left until we get to see it on Disney+. [6]

It is confirmed that the short film will take place after Elsa flees Arendelle when her ice powers have been discovered by the public and before Olaf meets Anna, Kristoff and Sven [6]. This is an interesting concept as it is an opportunity to explain how the loveable snowman came to life and what he was up to after he was spawned from Elsa’s wintery magic [33]. A midquel can be a great opportunity to establish some expanded character development. After all, Disney midquels have been done before back in the 2000s [20] [26], including Tarzan II and Bambi II [24] [25]. Heck, speaking of midquels, I would love to encounter a new Tomb Raider trilogy that could take place after the Survivor timeline and lead to signs of another trilogy being exactly like the classic timeline sort of as if it was a midquel to a film [28]. As for Once Upon A Snowman, we Frozen fanatics shall root for Olaf on his quest to find his name during the events of the first Frozen film. It would be worth it after listening to a heart-warming song about reminding someone that you are still with them emotionally a few months ago [31].

I think Olaf needs some lessons from Ly the Fairy from Rayman 2: The Great Escape if he ever wants to learn how to juggle [18]. [6] [33]

ANNA used DOOR! It’s super effective [13]! [6] [33]

In order for a short midquel to be convincing to fans of the first film, its plot ought to be consistent and quite fascinating. It is quite unusual to see Olaf have a sausage for a nose, but it is a sign of some interesting development within his origin [6] [33]. We also see him experimenting with an Arendelle flag, a paddle ball and a comb at Oaken’s trading post, quite similar to how he swapped his carrot nose for a candy cane in Olaf’s Frozen Adventure [17]. Aside from his comedic remark about not being able to juggle after realising that he is alive, we also see an example of how somewhat courageous he can be as he is seen sliding through snow and ice whilst fleeing from a pack of wolves. Seemingly, the premise of the shortly forthcoming short film that takes place before Anna reunites with Elsa is sure to provide a delightful portrayal of Olaf’s origin as he appears to still consist of the same cuteness, cheerfulness and wittiness as the utterly adorable and interestingly developed interpretation of Sam-I-Am from the animated series on Netflix based on Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss [14] [15] [34] [35].

It’s-a-him! Olaf [16]! [6] [33]

As well as a chase scene that could provide some tension within the climax of the short midquel, its pace through the realistic wintery location is part of a highly convincing way of portraying it. The way Olaf’s body often falls apart and how he tries to literally pull himself together makes the chase scene a little more comedic. [6] [33]

Let us look into the visuals once again. Aside from the recycled moment of Elsa taking off her cape and letting it blow away in the breeze [9], the wintery setting is rather dimmed as it is indeed set during the night she ran away from her kingdom [6] [33]. The interior of Wandering Gaken’s Trading Post is detailed with fine wooden textures and a variety of items, including fruit in a fruit bowl, red roses in a vase and Anna’s coronation dress from the first Frozen film [9]. The animation is once again outstandingly done. The particles of the snow and water during the chase scene are highly realistic, thus showing how advanced the 3D animation within certain Disney movies like Tangled can be [23] [24]. Olaf’s lively movements enhance his adorableness, whether he has a nose or not. The fluid running of the wolves during the chase scene and how their eyes glow a tint of orange during the darkness before it make them rather intimidating as antagonists of the short. Since the formula of providing incredible animation has been repeated for the forthcoming short [9] [10] [11] [17], it would definitely be considered to be part of the Frozen franchise hopefully with an engaging plot.

The animation even nails Olaf’s reflection in a mirror in the highly detailed trading post. [6] [33]

We suppose
That with a fresh sausage for a nose,
He’ll go along with how the midquel goes
In winter [7]! [6] [33]

Perhaps after the release of Olaf’s origin this October [6] [33], he ought to finally know a Samantha in Frozen 3 [11]. Could this Samantha he gets to know be a love interest for Elsa [12]? I still believe that there could be live-action remakes of Disney sequels in the future when Disney starts to somewhat run out of ideas [40] [41], possibly when I am in my thirties or forties. Nonetheless, I would be delighted to see an animated sequel to The Princess and the Frog that mostly stars the loveable Lottie [27], but does not repeat the same mistakes that Cars 2 made when it came to writing [3] [19]. As for the Frozen franchise from 2013 to the present, I would love to see another short midquel that could go into further depth of Elsa in her icy palace of isolation right after she built it [9]. This Friday, our fellow Frozen fanatics shall look forward to another adventure with Olaf after several delightful moments of him that were uploaded onto YouTube during the lockdowns we had to succumb to for protection during the coronavirus pandemic as coping mechanisms [6] [29] [33]. Despite his fondness of being in the summer [7], the cold never bothered him anyway.

Lastly, I wonder if there will be a new musical number either based on Olaf’s struggle with not knowing who he is or his desire to be in a summery climate. I have teared up a little after listening to “I Am With You” [31], so I am partly expecting a new song in Once Upon A Snowman. [6] [33]

Secrets Of The Past And More Await In Frozen II

Frozen II would have to be my most anticipated animated film of 2019 [14] [23] [24]. Since Frozen became the highest-grossing animated movie of all time back in 2014, it is no wonder that the teaser trailer for its sequel that was released back in February became the most viewed animated film teaser trailer in history within about a few days [14] [20]. Since the hype of Frozen II trailers is increasing, I would firstly like to warn you about certain types of YouTube channels that consist of unofficial movie trailers with titles that are either misleading or long enough to hide the fact that they are not official [10]. I think Frozen II would be their next target. Making a fan-made trailer is fine, but I do not recommend using uncredited movie trailer footage and misleading titles just to get lots of views and make money [10]. That kind of issue has been discussed by Jorge Flores, otherwise known as “blameitonjorge” on YouTube [10]. Aside from the speculation of Frozen II taking place about three years after the first film [14], let us look into what else has been hinted in its third trailer [6] [22], as well as reflecting on what has been revealed in the second trailer [21].

The Japanese Frozen II poster. I can already imagine some cosplayers cosplaying in Elsa and Anna’s Frozen II outfits. [15]

I am not trying to shame anyone for sorting official footage into a fan-made trailer. I just believe that misleading viewers in a way certain fake movie trailer channels do it just to make money without much effort corrupts YouTube’s search algorithm and is not what true movie advertising should be. [10] [15]

Let us start with the new characters that were shown in the teaser back in February. It appears that the brunette girl in eskimo attire that was briefly shown in the new trailer is highly likely to be Elsa and Anna’s mother, Queen Iduna when she was younger [6] [22]. The way she was carrying a baby reindeer that is highly likely to be a younger Sven is adorable. In addition to how one new character is likely to be their mother, we also learn that the blonde lad is definitely their father, King Agnarr before he had them [6] [22]. Details of Agnarr and Iduna’s time in the village’s tribe within the enchanted forest after the wind and fire caused it to be a hidden prison could perhaps explain why Elsa was born with her powers at some point [4] [14]. It was pretty cute and assuming to hear little Anna describe the story Agnarr told her and Elsa as “epic”. It looks like we have finally got a theory of the two new characters out of the way by knowing that they are parental figures when they were younger. Rest in peace, King Angarr and Queen Iduna [4].

King Angarr when he was younger. [15]

As for Angarr and Iduna’s years of raising Elsa and Anna, do you think the northern light Iduna sees in the previous Frozen II trailer has something to do with the wind and fire that corrupted the enchanted forest? [15]

Supposedly, Elsa will be about twenty-four years old in Frozen II [12]. Again, my boyfriend calls me his “ice queen” because of how I deeply relate to Elsa’s character in the first Frozen film [4]. As for what has been revealed in the new trailer for the sequel, she may be determined to not only find out where the voices came from but find more about who she is as she tries to further enhance her ice powers [6] [22]. The way she hears a “voice” and supposedly triggers the series of mysterious diamonds that were first seen in the teaser may lead to some new development, despite Pabbie’s warning about her losing herself to magic in the new trailer [6] [22]. His hope for her powers being “enough for this world” in the second trailer could be a big sign of such development [21]. I wonder what the name of that cute little lizard-like creature that gets a taste of her snow will be? I am hoping to re-experience that feeling to relating to such an iconic, independent and powerful female character once again as I finally watch the film. Anyone up for a reprise of “Let It Go” in the next chapter [4]?

These diamonds never bothered Elsa anyway. Hopefully. [15]

Isn’t this new creature in Elsa’s hand cute? [15]

What about Anna, Elsa’s supposedly twenty-one year-old-sister? She at least has some legitimate reasons to follow Elsa in a whole new adventure, managing to save her from her ex-fiancé and surviving a frozen heart in the first film [4] [6] [22]. I can see that there will be some heated arguing between the sisters as she confronts her about how she tried to fight the mysterious fire at some point because…you know…realism [6] [22]. Nevertheless, she is still willing to not let anything bad happen to her as she will still be selfless, caring and courageous. Bless her heart. I would not be surprised if Anna gained her new ability to fight with a sword from Agnarr as his generation of the tribe in the formerly enchanted forest was seen training with swords and shields [6] [22]. Perhaps a scene of her as a teenager training with her father can be direct evidence of her being skilled in fighting with a sword. It would be nice if there ought to be a new version of the song “Life’s Too Short” that did not make it into the outcome of the first Frozen film [16].

“I won’t let anything happen to her.” [15]

By the way, Anna and Kristoff are still so cute together, aren’t they? [15]

And of course, there appear to be some new dangers heading for Arendelle, along with some secrets. What could have caused such strong wind that endangers the lives of villagers [6] [22]? Aside from the pinkish-purple flames that were first seen in the teaser [20], there was a horse-like figure in the ocean Elsa was trying to master a new ability across that appeared in the second official trailer [21]. Looks like the ice queen will have a noble steed as shown towards the end of the third trailer [6] [22]. Those strange rock creatures that look rather monstrous when awake and are briefly seen asleep when Anna rows an ice canoe by them remind me of Marshmellow, the frosted beast who was furious when he was hit by a snowball in the first Frozen movie [4] [6] [22]. Curse one of those rock creatures for scaring poor Olaf, even though they were first shown in the second trailer as pretty constellations [21] [22]! More details on such dangers and new legends await Frozen fanatics in the film’s outcome. Will Arendelle be successfully protected at all costs after Pabbie’s warning?

What are you looking at, Rule 63 Jack Frost?! [15]

This creature looks quite familiar, doesn’t he? [15]

What about the speculation of Elsa getting a girlfriend that has been going on for about a year, thus making her Disney’s first LGBT heroine [7]? I believe I have a theory about the cause of the mighty wind that almost wipes out Arendelle. The same theory can apply to the oddly-coloured fire. I think Elsa’s love interest could be a member of the tribe she and her sister meet who unfortunately struggles to control either of them. I know this theory would not make sense since the dangerous strength of the wind and fire occurred during the younger years of Agnarr and Iduna, but a love interest for Elsa needs to have at least have something in common with her in order for their romance to be convincing. Alternatively, the love interest could be involved in the magic she is amazed at. Furthermore, here comes another theory of mine. Elsa’s possible new girlfriend can magically take on many forms, including the ocean horse and the cute lizard-like creature [6] [22]. Even if there will be no love interest for Elsa, at least she will still know that you cannot marry someone you only just met [4].

If this leads to Elsa having a love interest, I suppose my boyfriend ought to learn this kind of magic to bewitch me. [15]

Any more signs of all-new musical numbers? I have been suspected that music from the previous Frozen II trailers to be a cover of the musical number that played at the beginning of the first film. I can also briefly hear an instrumental version of “Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?” during the part of the trailer when Pabbie advises Elsa to find who is calling out to her. Apart from how I am cool with reprises of songs from the first Frozen film and possibly some new adaptions of certain songs that never made it to its outcome or were exclusive for its broadway adaption from 2017 and 2018 [13] [16], I do believe that some whole new original and well-written songs would be essential for an outstanding outcome for the next theatrical release of the Frozen franchise. The exclusive songs for Frozen Fever and Olaf’s Frozen adventure had a similar charm, right [5] [8]? Featuring new songs in the sequel of a musical film is important as not doing so will make it lose the Disney vibe that has been around for years and years.

Can you already imagine a sequel to this? I can. [13]

Being a big fan of Frozen, I feel like I really need to see its sequel after all of the demotivation from a certain B-word being shoved in my ears almost every single day. Please give us anything but those slightly unnerving fan-made Frozen games [3]. With the success of Finding Dory, Ralph Breaks The Internet and Toy Story 4 as signs of Disney and Pixar sequels being produced in the right hands these days, the sequel to Frozen ought to keep Disney’s legacy alive for the future generations [2] [9] [19]. By the time I hit my thirties and further expand on my ambitions, Disney would be likely to start producing more live-action remakes of Disney sequels, preferably such as a live-action remake of Cinderella III: A Twist In Time being referred “the live-action Cinderella II” instead of a remake of Cinderella II: Dreams Come True [1] [11]. There sure will be some comparison between the animated version of The Jungle Book 2 from 2003 and its live-action counterpart in the future [17] [18]. But for the 22^nd of November 2019 and so on, Frozen fanatics can hopefully let go of the past and answer the call [14] [6] [22].

The next chapter awaits. [15]

Defrosting The Teaser Trailer For Frozen II

If you are looking forward to the official sequel of the highest-grossing animated film of all time [4] [10] [11], then you ought to be quite amazed at what the official teaser trailer has to offer [3] [15], like how Elsa the Snow Queen can offer some creative aspects with her ice powers [4] [5] [8] [10]. Back in my college years, I adored the first Frozen film to chunks of ice. I completely sympathized with Elsa and could relate to her struggle with controlling her ice powers and isolation [4]. It is no wonder my partner says that I am his ice queen. A promotional image for the upcoming sequel may have been accidentally leaked two months ago [11] [13], but that sure did not stop Disney from defrosting the teaser trailer. Without further ado, let us analyse what has been revealed in the teaser.

The teaser poster for Frozen II. [11]

An official Frozen II promotional poster in Russia. [11]

Some new character development awaits the independent and powerful Queen of Arendelle [3] [11] [15]. We get to see Elsa on a dark and gloomy shingle beach during a storm. I like her new icy outfit, even when she takes off the jacket and boots. I can tell by the way she styles her plait into a pony tail and charges across the sand and ocean like how she did as an insecure and ashamed new ruler in the first Frozen film that she will be a tougher and more determined snow queen in Frozen II [4] [3] [15]. She can be seen in another scene with Olaf hiding behind her leg as she tries to take down some purple flames [3] [15]. I guess the fire’s pretty colour and how it is all shaped into a heart around the snow queen and the snowman who likes warm hugs does not excuse its danger. With new dangers to face and a whole new outfit for expressing a likely expansion on her development, it seems like Elsa will be trying to take her abilities to the next level after finally being able to handle her powers without accidentally harming the innocent.

Look out haters! There’s a new Elsa on the island! [11]

I thought this was meant to be “Frozen II”, not “Flaming Hot II”!! [3] [15]

 As for Anna, Elsa’s sister, could she receive some extra development as well [3] [15]? She will at some point witness a series of beautiful diamond-shaped crystals that somehow reminds me of the crystals from Frozen Free Fall, a mobile game that immerses in the Candy Crush Saga clique [12]. Perhaps the crystals outside the castle could be a sign of a whole new prophecy or something. In another hinted scene, she is seen sitting by a huge part of a cliff looking rather sad [3] [15]. Her mood reminds me of when she sat like that by Elsa’s bedroom door after attending her parents’ funeral in the first Frozen film [4] [10], so I am suspecting that the sisters will be separated again in Frozen II [3] [15]. I suppose the younger sister could become experienced in battling foes with Kristoff’s new sword by the way she strikes with one at the end of the trailer [3] [15], which is a sign that a princess shall once again be empowered in the twenty-first century. Can Anna and Kristoff keep their love for each other blooming in the final outcome?

A new prophecy awaits?! [3] [15]

Do you wanna find your sister again? [11]

 Perhaps plenty of us are hoping for some new quirky moments from Sven and Kristoff after Olaf discovered that he has always been a Christmas tradition in his own adventure back in late 2017 [8]. In another scene of the Frozen II teaser, we witness the noble blonde bloke riding the lovable reindeer with dog instincts as many other moose follow them [3] [15]. It would be interesting to be Sven playfully interact with a few other moose that will lead to some humourous moments. I do not think I would be too surprised if the new female character in beige winter attire owned one of the new moose as her own Sven due to how similar the style of her attire is to the style of Kristoff’s [3] [15]. Remember the good old days when we first saw the teaser for the first Frozen film that featured Sven supposedly competing against Olaf for his nose [14]? Good times.

CHAAAAAAAAARGE!! [3] [15]

We are yet to find out more about the two new characters that are briefly shown in one scene [3] [15]. The music sounds like part of the sound track for Moana, but I doubt that the hinted new character is actually that film’s starlet with the same name, despite having a hair style and a face that are slightly similar to Moana’s. As for the person with blonde hair who gets blown out of the ground by a gush of wind, could it be a sign that there is another misunderstood individual who is unable to control their powers [7]? Maybe that individual could have the power to control wind in the final outcome, but it will often backfire and send him flying around. In addition to this, the person could be a potential love interest for Elsa, but as long as they will not break the virtue of refraining from marrying someone they just met [4] [10]. I would not mind some new characters in the sequel, especially if one of them will be Elsa’s realistic love interest.

Who is that new Moana-looking gal? [3] [15]

It looks like the location that the main cast gets a good view of will be heavily autumn-themed due to the huge amount of the red and orange leaves in the trees and on the ground [3] [15]. As we all know, autumn does come before winter, so I suppose that Frozen II will take place about one, two or three months after the first Frozen film [4] [10]. Even though mainly setting the first Frozen film in a cold winter environment perfectly matches the title of the franchise [4] [10], I suppose setting the sequel in the chilly autumn would not completely contradict the title. Autumn can be almost as cold as winter. Brrrrr. Is anyone up for a parody of Olaf’s song about summer that is about autumn [4]?

This, my friends, is our new chapter. [3] [15]

The art style and animation so far appears to consist of the same beauty of the first Frozen film [3] [4] [10] [15]. Every aspect of a fearful storm on the shingle beach appears to be realistic as the moments when Elsa tries to master her ice powers across the ocean kind of remind me Lara Croft trying to reach the other part of the wrecked ship in the E3 trailer Tomb Raider reboot [6]. Other details within the art style and animation in the teaser include:

• Hints of a light blue aura from Elsa’s feet
• Faint beams of sunlight shining on the army of moose
• The fog around the large parts of a cliff Anna climbs and jumps on
• The human characters’ hair and long parts of their attire flowing gracefully in the breeze.

The sequel can guarantee a series of excellently rendered models with beautifully outstanding detail, including the same appealingly designed characters in new outfits and aspects of nature that flow fantastically by the power of big bucks.

Once again, the animators manage to display Elsa’s ice fantastically. [3] [5]

After analysing the official teaser trailer for Frozen II, I believe that the royal sisters might be suddenly separated after seeing a land of autumn leaves beyond their palace [3] [11] [15]. I am not here to spoil, but I am here to analyse and hope for a great outcome. Plenty of Disney sequels and midquels have not been critically acclaimed throughout the 90’s and 2000’s [1] [9] [17], but we can hope that Frozen II and Toy Story 4 will be two of those follow-ups that can be seen as sequels done right in mid and late 2019 [1] [2] [3]. After all, I completely understand that not all chronological sequels and other follow-ups of successful Disney films have been considered to be as bad as others, depending on the views on other Disney fans and critics [1] [9] [16]. Will there be an explanation for Elsa’s ice powers? Will Anna enable a new strength she probably never felt before? Could Elsa have a new love interest who is a female as a sign that Disney is finally allowing same-sex romance to happen [7]? Will Hans seek revenge? With enough great thought put into it and satisfying answers for many questions, the next chapter could be worth melting for.

The long wait for their sequel hopefully never bothered them anyway. [3] [15]
