References to the rest of Frozen-verse within Dangerous Secrets
I just finished Dangerous Secrets and Iâm thrilled by it!Â
I wrote a ton of notes as I read the book and have organised them into two mega posts, this one focuses on all the references that @marimancusiâ made to the rest of the Frozen universe in the book. The other post will be focusing on scenes within Frozen-verse that now have a new meaning because of DS. These posts are 100% original.
Naturally, there are spoilers. Avert your eyes if you do not wish to be spoiled! There are references to Frozen (1), Frozen 2, Frozen 2 deleted scenes, Forest of Shadows, and one outside of Frozen! Each one will show a tiny portion of the text followed by an appropriate screencap.
1. The cold never bothers me - Agnarr
2. Iduna trudged through a blizzard
3. Iduna drenched by snow
4. Idunaâs hands nearly froze
5. Agnarr is a Fixer-Upper too!
1. Mysterious map with a motherâs handwriting
2. âFor Arendelleâ - Iduna
3. Iduna proposes, in Northuldra fashion!
The entire chunk of text is too long to paste here and I wonât be doing that, also cos I donât want to offend Mari. There are 3 references: firstly to the reindeer, fluttering butterflies and cascading sycamore seeds; secondly the words that Iduna says echoes Kristoffâs!!Â
The third reference is to the deleted F2 song, âHome Get This Rightâ where Anna proposed! Storyboard below!
4. Glaciers are rivers of ice. Ahtohallan is FROZEN
Frozen 2 Deleted Scene References
The deleted scene can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QycoP_nruY I almost feel like they deleted it from the movie to give it to DSâŚ
1. Joy brings out [Elsaâs] powers as strongly as fear
2. [Annaâs] love could hold up the world - MY FAVOURITE QUOTE!!!!!! LOVETHAWMODE
Forest of Shadows References
Much kudos to Mari for not only tying up Frozen 1 and 2 in DS, but also making references to Forest Of Shadows by Kamilla Benko! (which was released first, before F2 in fact)
1. Blodget the baker and her shop, Blodgetâs Bakery, were mentioned in FoS multiple times (best butter cookies in the world!)
2. Huldrefolk are a key people group in FoS
3. Sorenson is also a key character in FoS. In FoS, it is briefly mentioned that Iduna visited Sorenson in the past and painted his ceiling. So itâs a very nice touch that Sorenson is âintroducedâ or referenced in DS.
4. Fear is the enemy of Arendelle - just like the Nattmara in FoS that was created by Elsaâs fears.
External Reference - Beauty and the Beast (library scene)
I also felt that King Nicholas was very Gaston-like.Â
