#postergate

We’ve had a MASSIVE clue about it being canon since the beginning.

What we’ve actually been looking at is a play. The finale is a play. The MindFlayer has been forcing them into “conformed” roles (we’ve known this since the beginning of the theory) BUT the poster practically confirms it.

Take a look at the poster (especially the primarily red one)

ITS FRAMED THE SAME WAY AS THE FINAL SHOT.

The staircase AND the door. When Mike closed the door, it wasn’t actually their happy ending, the door is literally in the same position as the MINDFLAYER. He’s trapping himself in a FALSE REALITY.

Eleven walking back down the stairs case is them finally (hopefully) breaking free.

Also this might not be as relevant but the outfits could suggest they’ve been under the influence SINCE wearing those outfits

...does this count towards conformity/postergate?

Disclaimer: I've added links because I strongly dislike posting information without a source, but that doesn't mean that you can go and ask questions to the people that I've mentioned. (especially those who work for WDS) I'm just posting this as a recap, so we can put the postergate aside and wait for Disney's next official statement about Frozen.

So here's a summary of what happened:

1. Cine1 posts some Frozen posters on their website.

2. They are reposted by trustworthy Disney fan-sites, such as Chronique Disney, Stitch Kingdom, The Rotoscopers, Inside The Magic, etc.

3. About 30 minutes to an hour later, all the images are removed from the above-mentioned sites. There's a quote from a Walt Disney Studios spokeswoman going around: “They didn’t come from us, so I just know that they aren’t official. Everyone will definitely know when we send something that is.”

4. Elsa C. on twitter, who works for Disney Animation, confirms the "characters are real" even though the "posters are fake" (she has since deleted the tweets due to an alarming number of questions coming her way)

5. David Gilson (who works for Disney Publishing) posts a forum "Ok, I can also say that the designs are not fake, the posters are obviously but the backgrounds are concept-arts."

Truly enough, the backgrounds are very similar to this little image:

This picture dates back to in April 2012, (thanks to Sotiris for finding it) we know is official because it has the old Frozen logo which was featured at an official French presentation that took place towards the end of 2012, where they talked about Disney's upcoming films:

So to sum it up : the character design is real -though not quite final- and the backgrounds are concept arts. Which means that what we are seeing is probably very close to what we are going to get.
