Anna's concluding thoughts (the book doesn't contain the ending of F2, like the others, but this concluding statement shows Anna is at peace and at home in Arendelle at the end)

There was other information about the spirits and the journey in the book too which I didn't post because we already know it. Overall I love this book for Anna's detailed descriptions and thoughtful comments - I highly recommend it!

I love this book 😀😍 It is a journal that is from Anna's POV and includes bits of writing from Iduna's journal as well (which Anna found). Here are some of my favorite parts:

Introduction

Trade relations with Weselton have been revised 😂

What Anna loves about Elsa (and Elsa's itinerary!!):

Anna herself

Their parents

Firstly, I wanted to go a little more in depth about the “Into the Unknown” scene now that I’ve found a few posts with the lyrics (can’t say they’re 100% accurate but they definitely sound on point from what I remember):

As Elsa’s walking down the corridors of the castle.

“I can hear you, but I won’t. Some look for trouble while others don’t. There’s a thousand reasons I should go about my day and ignore your whispers which I wish would go away, oh. Oh. You’re not a voice. You’re just a ringing in my ear and if I heard you – which I don’t…”

She stops and looks at paintings on the wall, One is of the Frohana group and the other is of her parents.

.”..everyone I’ve ever loved is here within these walls. I’m sorry secret siren but I’m blocking out your calls!”

She continues walking through the castle and ends up outside. I believe it’s the exact same location where she fled Arendelle in the first movie, the area behind the castle near the fjord.

“Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake? Or are you someone out there who’s a little bit like me, who knows deep down I’m not where I’m meant to be? Every day’s a little harder as I feel my power grow. Don’t you know there’s a part of me that longs to go into the unknown?“

Around this point the magical ice particles that we saw in the trailer appear. The first image they form is a heard of reindeer like we saw in the trailer scene with Kristoff and Sven. Then the fire spirit (it looks like a little wispy, bouncy flame, just like the purple fire from the trailer), then the Nokk, then the earth giants, and then the blowing leaves. There was also a moment the ice particles seem to “pull” her towards the edge of the land and she spontaneously makes a ledge of ice so she can follow them even farther. This leads to the other trailer scene of her reaching her arm out towards the fjord before the ice crystals with the symbols appear all around her. The footage ends there.

I loved this new song and everything else that was revealed at the Expo. But like others, I’m both hyped and apprehensive about how the filmmakers chose to end the story. Switching gears from song to speculation, while they were discussing the story during the panel, they said things like there will be a “big change” and “in the end nothing will ever be the same.” One of the biggest fears fans are having is that Anna and Elsa will end up separating at the end, whether it’s Elsa staying behind in the enchanted land or some other scenario. While I can’t help sharing that fear maybe a tiny bit, I’m much more certain that it will not be the case. titania-knight mentioned that separation of the main characters happened in recent Disney/Pixar sequels like Toy Story 4 and Wreck-It Ralph 2, so it could happen with Frozen. But Frozen is different in the fact that the entire plot of the first movie revolved around Anna and Elsa getting back together as a family. While all the Toy Story movies emphasize the fact that Andy’s toys were like family, they also emphasized acceptance of change (leaving Andy for Bonnie), plus the fact that they’re toys makes it a given that things won’t always be the same when their kids grow up. And even though the movie ended with Woody separating from the others, it’s not like he went off all alone - he’s still with Bo Peep and her toy friends, which still leaves potential for fun adventures with them as well as Buzz and the old toys. Same thing with Wreck-It Ralph: the first movie was all about Ralph trying to find out that he’s more than a “bad guy” by forming a friendship with Vanellope, while the second film explored how his friendship went a bit overboard and he had to accept Vanellope’s wishes even though they clashed with his own. And again, even though they ended up going separate ways, there’s still potential for stories with Vanellope and her new friends in Slaughter Race and the rest of the internet, as well as Ralph and his arcade friends. Plus they can still easily visit each other now that the arcade is connected to the internet. So yes, Toy Story and Wreck-It Ralph do involve strong bonds of friendship between the characters, but their whole identity isn’t formed from a single relationship the way Frozen’s is with the sisterly bond between Anna and Elsa.

While all Disney movies of the past had the “happily ever after” ending, even though more recent ones have opted for a bittersweet ending, one thing they still stay true to is, as I described with the aforementioned sequels, the potential for the characters to have more adventures and live on in their world, even if it’s not the exact same way as before. Disney keeps their characters immortal by allowing us to always imagine them in a happily ever after even if it’s a bit bittersweet. So unlike Ralph and Toy Story, what potential would exist for Frozen if its main characters ended up separating? From what we’ve seen of the enchanted lands, they don’t seem like a fun place - Matthias and his soldiers have been trapped there for years, so it’s place people want to get away from. Unless a lot more about it is revealed later on, the impression I have is that it’s a desolate place not meant to be inhabited. I’ve been trying to think of a possible reason for Elsa to stay there but I can’t think of any, especially not one that would make a satisfying ending. I know Disney isn’t always totally akin to what its fans want, but I don’t think there’s a single Frozen fan who would want an ending with the sisters splitting up, and Disney must be aware of that. I know they want to make Frozen 2 a bit “darker” but that doesn’t mean unsatisfying. It’s an ending nobody would want, that goes against the achievement of the first movie, and leaves poor potential for imagining the characters in a continual happily ever after. So while I can’t say with absolute certainty we won’t get a separation ending, it’s very unlikely in my opinion.

So then what could this drastic, irreversible change be? Another theory is that Elsa will lose her powers in the end. It seems more plausible than the separation ending, but still doesn’t seem that likely - stripping Elsa of her powers would pretty much render the 6 years of making her an iconic user of ice magic completely obsolete, and I don’t think Disney would do that to one of their most popular characters. While I’m not one to dwell much in fan theories, I will say that I personally think the “nothing will ever be the same” description is referring to how we thought Elsa got her powers: she was born with them, but it’s actually not the case. For a while I’ve been thinking about the scene at the beginning of the first movie where Pabbie asks “Born with the power, or cursed?” and Ignarr says “Born.” The way he says it almost seems like he’s being a little too insistent, like he doesn’t want anyone to think it could be a curse…so maybe we find out that it actually is, that whatever happened when he went to the enchanted land originally caused his first born child to be cursed with magic powers? Again, that’s just my theory and the only plot reveal I could think of that matches the drastic description the filmmakers put forth for the movie (I also like frozenartscapes’ theory of Elsa uniting the magic of the enchanted lands with Arendelle)

I’m going straight to the scene. There were other teaser scenes before it (see @yumeka36’s post) + meeting Lieutenant Mattias (The presentation shows “Matthias” on the screen with an ‘h’ but that’s apparently a typo) + the actual cast singing Some Things Never Change, but I’ll dive into the sequence that they showed during the presentation.

Iduna’s Lullaby: the Queen is putting the kids to sleep and they’re both snuggling their mama. Iduna does this thing where she strokes Anna’s nose to try and lull her to sleep. The girls look really happy to be in their mother’s arms, and it’s obvious that they adore her so much and they’re very, very close. She sings the lullaby (Evan Rachel Wood is awesome, guys) and the kids drift off to sleep. This part was so sweet but it killed me.

Charades scene: @justlookatthosesausages talked about this a lot already and we were able to get a few fan sketches of it that were fairly accurate. No need to expand on this, but to add more to what had taken place, after Elsa walks out (because she wasn’t really good at playing the game + she was hearing voices), Anna goes into a slight panic mode because she was worried that Elsa was hurt/anxious that’s why she walked out.

While she was rambling and wondering why Elsa left, Kristoff was preparing to propose— he hurriedly plucks some sort of leaf from a plant plot nearby and chews it to freshen his breath and he goes down on one knee with Anna’s back in front of him, ready to show her the ring. But Anna was so distracted that she didn’t know what was taking place (she’s still rambling, hands in the air in the most Anna way possible, concerned about Elsa). Anna was moving around so much that Kristoff nearly trips and the ring flew in the air but Kristoff caught it just in time to try and propose again. But Anna didn’t pick up on this— she pecks Kristoff on the lips (he’s on his knee) and says “bye, honey!” or “goodnight, honey!” (Not sure which, but she called him ‘honey’) before rushing out of the room to find Elsa. Kristoff gently says “it’s fine” after Anna left, without any hint of annoyance. He gets it. Anna needs her sister and vice versa.

- Anna knocks on Elsa’s door the way she did during DYWBAS? but this time, she gets an answer and Elsa lets her in. Anna goes straight to Elsa and immediately apologizes and asks her if they had hurt her (from the charades game) and that she’s sorry. Elsa insists that she’s fine but Anna points out that she’s wearing their mom’s scarf— and that she only does that when she’s worried about something. Elsa hesitates a little, but she eventually expresses her concerns about messing things up. Anna listens and then says, “When will you see yourself the way I see you? (This is the part where I cried, guys). Sitting on the edge of the bed, Elsa looks at Anna and says, “I don’t know what I’ll ever do without you,” and Anna smiles and replies, “You’ll always have me/I’ll always be here for you (can’t remember exactly). They go to bed and snuggle 😭😭😭 Elsa doesn’t hesitate or fear contact with Anna and she happily obliges when Anna draws her closer (Elsa was looking up at Anna the way she looked at their mom from that scene when they were kids— with pure adoration and love). Anna strokes her nose (the way their mom did in an attempt to put them to sleep) and Elsa says “I know what you’re doing.”

- Elsa wakes up again from those voices. She gets out of bed while Anna slept and she goes about talking/singing the full version of “Into The Unknown.” I cant really go into detail about that because I don’t know the full lyrics and it’s just too epic to describe. I think I blacked out while this scene was playing because I was too overwhelmed. Please check out @yumeka36’s post, she describes this scene coherently and in detail. 😅
