That's definetly one of the reasons why Hans is my second favorite male Disney villian, right behind Frollo who is the quintessential and best male villain in all of Disneydom.Disney's Divinity wrote:*spoilers*
Good points about Hans--I had noticed that he had sibling issues just like Anna, but hadn't thought about it further yet. I guess the real difference between him and Anna/Elsa is that he discarded his family since they couldn't/wouldn't help him, whereas Elsa/Anna's actions are still mostly out of love. Even when Elsa says Anna can leave after the argument about marriage, it still reads like Elsa would be more glad if Anna did leave so she could never hurt her again.
@ProfessorRatigan: I honestly wasn't bothered by the lack of a direct explanation of Elsa's powers, although I wouldn't have minded one. I can't see them having the king and queen going to the trolls twice in the opening scenes though, because Anna's accident is probably the most critical development/motivation for Elsa throughout the movie. Perhaps they could have had the troll elder/shaman/whatever sideways given an explanation when he begins talking to Elsa in that scene. Sort of like--"Elsa, as one born with/of yadda yadda yadda, you must beware..." whatever he says in that scene.
And, I agree, that would have been the perfect moment for a reprise of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" particularly since Olaf walks in right then. You know, going off those ideas PrincessElsa posted from elsewhere a few pages back, I think I would've liked to have seen Olaf interact more with Elsa. Perhaps instead of breaking in to save Anna, they could have had him break in to save Elsa? Of course, he and Kristoff don't know Elsa's there, so I guess that wouldn't work. But maybe they could have him sense his creator was in danger and come to help her? A reprise of that song to Elsa would help give even more power to the following scene where Anna dies and she realizes the feeling of love for other people is what allows her to control her powers.
@ChrisLyne: Would've loved a reprise of "Let It Go" there, especially since it would be more empowering since she's sure of herself in front of everyone ("the light of day"). Plus, it goes with the end of her fear over her powers--the line "You'll never (again) see me cry" would've been very appropriate at that point once she's truly conquered her insecurity.
BTW Divinity, what did you think of all the songs when viewing the movie a second time? Just wondering.
