So, she's the Hans character in this? I'm guessing more than anything that she will be the actual Snow Queen character and the Frozen storyline will be a mix of Frozen and the Snow Queen.

Watching two Snow Queens duke it out could be fun.

Of course, it could just be Hans has had a sex change and is trying to pull one over on everyone again.

There was another sibling?

Pff, whatever.

aww I was hoping we'd get a OUAT version of Hans...

Is this villain gonna be like the Wicked Witch fiasco? Because what I least liked from OUAT was their adaptation of the Oz universe...

At least it's not another Let It Go cover.

Also, getting all their stars to cover a song from their animated films? Am I the only one who thinks this could be a sign of Disney secretly planning a Disneymania comeback?

No, really, think about it. First, the Carly Rae Jepsen cover of Part of Your World. Then, the revival of "award bait end-credit" covers through the Demi version of Let It Go (though the original was the one that ended up being the award bait). Then, the Lana Del Rey cover of Once Upon a Dream for the Maleficent film. And now this. I wouldn't be surprised if these were all part of a Disneymania 8 the folks at Disney could be planning behind their backs.

Here's the music video preview:

Why DYWTBAS? Not Fixer Upper or Let It Go?

Fixer Upper? That's the least popular song of the whole soundtrack! (Along with Frozen Heart)

And Thank God it's not the 1.000.000.000.000 cover of Let It Go!


Do You Want To Build A Snowman is the second most popular song from the soundtrack and it's a PLATINUM certified single.

I agree with disneyprincess11, in the sense that "Do You Want To Build a Snowman" is a bit too melancholy for upbeat covers.

Why not "For the First Time In Forever"? It not only has counterpoint ingrained (side note: I HATE IT when covers involve duets or choruses that have one echo voice repeat two words after the first line has been sung, especially if it's not in the original song), it ends on a positive note. Plus it would be rather fitting, too, considering it's been forever since Disney did a music video with their stars...

You have never guess which cd franchise that kind of ruin the greatest song ever of Let It Go.

Swallow it ?

I think she looks fab; so much better than the awful theme park version of herself.

The adulteration of a (one year old) character owned by Disney.

It looks too much like cosplay. I understand they want to boost ratings by making her look as much like the "real" Elsa as possible, but I would have liked to see something fresh.

That show is GOD AWFUL though so who cares.
