Having listened to the b-side of the Frozen soundtrack a few too many times where the original composers talk about earlier versions of the plot that were changed. Such as increased conflict between Anna & Elsa where Anna wanted Elsa to go back to suppressing her powers and a kid's pageant about a curse of ever lasting winter and sword sacrifice let me just say that I think the original plot would have been more interesting. In addition the original Elsa sketches were much more frightening. So I think Elsa is actually the true villain grappling with her powers and alienation from society and the Hans thing is just a bad plot point.
- bombcar 6y agoExactly - it’s an Elsa story and the villains are just “triggers” in Elsa’s story. She’s a classic “redeemed villain” arc - just with the story focusing on her.
- wodenokoto 6y agoWell, it’s very loosely based on the Hans Christian Anderson story about an evil Ice Queen, so it makes sense that the early iterations had a fairly sinister Elsa. According to Wikipedia: > The 2013 Walt Disney Animation Studios film Frozen was inspired by "The Snow Queen", and closely followed the original Andersen story early in the film's development. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen
- emilecantin 6y agoFun fact: They're both named "La Reine des Neiges" in French. Imagine our confusion when we got the wrong one (a Russian studio made a pretty good movie of Anderson's story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen_(2012_film) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Queen_(2012_film))
