Frozen 2, in my opinion, takes a calculated risk in world building for a young audience. They literally force the characters into a larger world to learn new cultures and how these natural forces effect the larger world. Ahtohallan is a giant abstract metaphor for self improvement, confidence, and self actualization. Again, it's in the lyrics of the song.
I'm all for these nuanced layers of messaging that tweak the standard tropes.
- throwaway5752 6y agoFrozen 2 felt like it was written for three different audiences - the usual suspects of parents and young children, but in this case (and somewhat novel) for kids that were young children for the first movie six years earlier and it was a really important movie in their lives. If you say that those kids were approximately 6 years old in 2013, they are 12 and entering adolescence by the time Frozen 2 comes out. You look at the child psychology of early adolescence (physiological changes, anxiety, insecurity, and so on) the thematic changes make lots of sense.
