More details regarding the plot revealed! This clears up a few things. Elsa won't be a real queen, and she won't be a traditional villain. She will definitely be redeemed and go back to her family.
Source: http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/08/16/d ... n-d-event/During “Inside Walt Disney Animation Studios Today,” animator Darrin Butters hosted an appealing round-up of the studio’s newest projects. Butters then started off by introducing Chris Buck, director of November 2013’s sure-to-be awesome Frozen. Buck explained that Frozen dates back to Walt’s time, as Disney himself tried to adapt The Snow Queen story, first written by Hans Christian Andersen, into a feature. But like many stories, they require much time to develop, and that is exactly what happened in the case of Frozen.
This Norway-set tale, situated in vast mountain ranges, focuses on a royal family, specifically two sisters. Kristen Bell voices younger sister Anna to Idina Menzel’s Elsa, a regal and graceful individual with a dark secret. Elsa can control ice and snow. After Elsa accidentally reveals her powers, she flees the kingdom, secluded in the ice castle she builds. Off to find her sister, Anna hires mountain-man Kristoff to assist her. Also in the mix is Olaf, a man-child snowman. We received a first taste of Olaf when a puppet version of the comic character emerged from the background. He joked that in a few years many people would be dressing up like him. His one-liners kept on coming, and as he departed the stage, he said we were seeing “the backside of snow,” a clever reference to the “backside of water” from the Jungle Cruise attraction.
As previously announced, Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, the composers best known for The Book of Mormon, will be providing the music for Frozen. They also developed the enchanting songs from last year’s Winnie the Pooh. We listened to one of Frozen’s spellbinding songs, a beautiful ballad sung by Elsa after she has fled into the mountains. Performed at Destination D by a female singer and pianist, “Let It Go” is absolutely alluring and infectious. The instrumentation also sounded strong. I’m guessing this will be a best-selling piece on iTunes. I definitely look forward to Frozen, which seems to contain much of the sense of adventure and heart, with amazing backdrops and music, that made Tangled such a winner in my book.

Source: http://uk.eonline.com/news/338671/krist ... ina-menzelKristen Bell and Idina Menzel co-star in Disney's upcoming animated musical fable, Frozen, about a young girl (Bell) searching for the Snow Queen (Menzel) after her town falls under an evil spell of eternal winter.
"It's quite literally my dream come true because I've been obsessed with Disney princesses since I was a little girl, as most little girls are," Bell told me the other night at the premiere of her new action comedy Hit & Run. "I studied music in college, so this is a very, very real dream for me coming true."
Robert Lopez, who co-created the Broadway smash Book of Mormon with South Park's Matt Stone and Trey Parker, has written original songs for Frozen with his wife, Kristen Anderson-Lopez. "The music is exceptional," Bell said.
The flick isn't set to be released until November 2013, but Bell and Menzel have already recorded some tunes together. "It's just unbelievable," Bell said of singing alongside Menzel. "It's bone-chilling is what it is—bone-chilling!"

Actually, the 1957 version of, "The Snow Queen (by Soyuzmultfilm from Moscow, Russia)," did adapt the mirror. Remember the mirror that the Snow Queen sees in her kingdom in order to see people in their mirrors? When Kai insulted her, she breaks her own mirror with her staff, and turns two out of the broken shards of her own mirror into splinters of ice, to teach Kai a lesson for talking blasphemies about her. Kai gets two splinters of ice on one of his eye and one at his heart. He becomes a bully to poor Gerda, and rides with the Snow Queen to live in her kingdom.qindarka wrote:If I remember correctly, even Atamanov's version which was rather faithful to the original fairy tale didn't include the demon mirror. I am not sure that anyone could have expected Disney to do so.
In fact, in the six-minute live-action Christmas prologue, Art Linkletter has spoken a quote about seeing the Snow Queen through the mirror before the main theme to the animated feature which was provided by Universal Studios in 1959 for the English version. He said while he and the children look at the mirror, "One snowflake two. Three snowflakes four. And now you'll see the Snow Queen, if you add a million more."
Sorry for bringing this up, Disney fans. I just thought I'd provide details from the movie after qindarka mentioned about the mirror. And like I said, the Russian version did adapt it by using the Snow Queen's fury to break her mirror based on Kai's blasphemies about her as Queen Puddle.
Ah, I checked the sypnosis again and it turns out I misremembered. I didn;t even watch it that long ago. There were still no religious references in that version, though (unless I misremembered again).
I admit that I had hoped that Frozen would be more faithful to the original fairy tale as it does really have very good material in it. The Russian version may have been overly faithful though and yet botched some key scenes (reading the sypnosis on Wikipedia was more emotionally resonant). Was hopeful that Disney could do a better job at it but it's probably too different now. I still expect some aspects of the original to remain though.

You're right qindarka !
Maybe the prophecy thing that unleash eternal winter on the kindgom is linked to demon, mirror, an so on. Maybe there will be something about roses, gypsies, gardener, ice dust in one eye or Elsa trying to seduce and froze a man heart ?
So Elsa won't be evil AT ALL or cast any spell ? I hope she didn't went away only because she's different. First synopsis did say that she casts one on Anna.

Wow, I never really thought of Disney not including the demon mirror. I've always loved the story of the Snow Queen, and the mirror was something I really liked about it. Not to mention it's pretty important to the original storyline. I mean, when I think of the snow queen, I think of shards of ice/dust in people's eyes, making them see things differently and causing them to be evil. I've always thought that was such a cool aspect to the story. It'll be sad for me if they don't include the mirror in some form.qindarka wrote:I am pretty sure the demon mirror is one aspect that will not be included. Disney would want to avoid religious references.

That does clear up alot, Maybe Elsa got her powers from the mirror/demon? It really does sound great, I'm guessing there will be some "evil" character in this film somewhere, maybe the Snowmen or Hans could turn against Elsa? Just a suggestion 
You like? I'm still not sure though, The quality doesn't seem as good as the Thor Gif I made (But yer I fancied a change 
)

Agreed. I mean side characters are never the best thing ever, but we ought to at least give it a chance.qindarka wrote:What a cheery bunch we all are.
