Does anybody else think that new picture of Elsa, looks strangely like Rapunzel?

(Yes I know the difference between Elsa and Anna, so don't anybody think i'm 'confused' lmao)

Hans looks too cute to be the villain....He's probably just the silly dumb pretty looking boy while the Duke is trying to take over the power(I guess he's clumsy and weak, hence his two henchman).....
I don't think there will be a real villain is this movie......It's still about the Snowqueen, Elsa, and she will be the main 'villain'. So my guess is that Disney decided to get a less threatening villainous character on the side that will keep the people of Arendelle busy.....

Wonderful photos and interesting descriptions! We know a little more now...

My reaction to each character

Elsa
She definitely has bad ass poses,but I really like the fact that she tries to remain calm.....wait a minute..SHE ALMOST KILLED ANNA?!


Anna
Though she is not as interesting as Elsa,she stands out as the moral core of the story which makes her more revelant than her boyfriend.(haha!Hans, you suck!)


Kristoff
Damn.........


Hans
OMG! The eyes! Well,he is not a big lip alligator moment,but he's a potential love interest for Anna.So they just fall in love and that's it?


Olaf
I have a feeling that Anna will love him,but Kristoff will hate him.


Sven
I'm glad he's not a character like Maximus. In fact, he could be Kristoff's Wilson


Duke of Weselton
Oh shit!Not another Ratcliffe! (Seriously,he was so forgettable that I had to google him before mentioning him in this comment.)Maybe he won't be the main villain.Maybe he is a threat Kristoff's lifestyle?


Oaken
OMG! It's the shop keeper from Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!I will be hearing the shop theme once I see Oaken on screen


Marshmallow
I think there could be more snow monsters.

I really like the name "Marshmallow."

Elsa looks like a rapunzel character:(
She doesn't look too serious. What a shame...

hans could still be the villain. He looks like he can pull of a grin or an evil laugh

God; why isn't this forum compatible with tapatalk...

Yeah, because the Duke tries NOT to take over the kingdom, but Hans does, according to a article and there's going to be a evil ruler for the prophecy. So, the Duke might be a side villain.

The Rotoscopers told me (This was an actual reply from my comment) that they left out details about the characters to tease fans.Maybe Hans is pressured by his kingdom to fall in love,but he is intimidated by Elsa's royal sexiness.He is kinda like Prince Albert from Young Victoria.IDK I don't think Anna could easily fall in love with him.

An new interview with the directors.

‘Frozen’ Directors Put Next Animated Disney Classic On Ice
http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-tal ... 32518.html

First of all, ALL the backgrounds are awesome, even the interior of the places...

- Duke with his two big hunchmen is interesting...
- Elsa on that still is half Kung Fu/half Marylin Monroe style...
- Hans is hot, hotter than Kristoff i think... Do you see a spark of greed and evil deep inside those sweet loving eyes ???
- The snow monster, with icy teeth and claws is... cool. Will he have an army of brothers ?
- And about the new minor Oaken character unveiled ! He is so sweet and funny and lovable ! half Bear/half muppet show, i'm loving it !

PS : all spoilers, precisions and new detals and infos about the characters here are great ! http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/frozen-20 ... 68932.html

Though he might be a minor character,he is cute!Again the Rotoscopers said "It's not what it seems."disneyprincess11Which article?

^Perhaps Oaken serves as a spiritual guide to Elsa. He may be a mystic of some sort similar the shaman in Brother Bear. In the Japanese trailer there's an unknown voice telling Elsa to not be afraid and to believe in herself while in the French trailer the same voice tells her "your magic is beautiful but you must learn to control it". That could be Oaken?

I love Oaken, but i really feel he's just a comic relief, owner of a sauna, or a shop... he may be in a nice scene on our friends road, but that's all. Well, i think.
The beautiful " You must learn to control your beautiful gift" phrase might be from Elsa's father, or a troll, or Hans, or any winter spirit, mystic snow man... or maybe from someone of Arendelle or from the real villain...

Suppositions...

Just posting the descriptions that were under each picture.

Anna is more daring than graceful and, at times, can act before she thinks. But she’s also the most optimistic and caring person you’ll ever meet. She longs to reconnect with her sister, Elsa, as they were close during their childhood. When Elsa accidentally unleashes a magical secret that locks the kingdom of Arendelle in an eternal winter, Anna embarks on a dangerous adventure to make things right. Armed with only her fearlessness, a never-give-up attitude and her faith in others, Anna is determined to save both her kingdom and her family.

From the outside, Elsa looks poised, regal and reserved, but in reality, she lives in fear as she wrestles with a mighty secret—she was born with the power to create ice and snow. It’s a beautiful ability, but also extremely dangerous. Haunted by the moment her magic nearly killed her younger sister Anna, Elsa has isolated herself, spending every waking minute trying to suppress her growing powers. Her mounting emotions trigger the magic, accidentally setting off an eternal winter that she can’t stop. She fears she’s becoming a monster and that no one, not even her sister, can help her.

Kristoff is a true outdoorsman. He lives high up in the mountains where he harvests ice and sells it to the kingdom of Arendelle. Rough around the edges, Kristoff’s the strong, no-nonsense type, who follows his own set of rules. He may seem like a loner, but he always has his best friend by his side—a loyal and extremely mangy reindeer named Sven.

He’s Olaf and he likes warm hugs. Sprung from Elsa’s magical powers, Olaf is by far the friendliest snowman to walk the mountains above Arendelle. His innocence, outgoing personality and uncanny ability to disassemble himself at good and not-so-good times lead to some awkward, albeit laughable moments. He may also have the world’s most impossible dream, but what he doesn’t know won’t melt him—or will it?

A reindeer with the heart of a Labrador, Sven is Kristoff’s loyal friend, sleigh-puller and conscience. He makes sure his mountain-man companion is the stand-up guy Sven knows and loves, and does so without saying a word. A few emphatic snorts usually get his point across. Life would be perfect if only Kristoff would lose that ridiculous reindeer voice he likes to use when speaking for Sven (as if reindeer really talk that way).

Hans is a handsome royal from a neighboring kingdom who comes to Arendelle for Elsa’s coronation. With 12 older brothers, Hans grew up feeling practically invisible—and Anna can relate. Hans is smart, observant and chivalrous. Unlike Elsa, Hans promises he’ll never shut Anna out; he just might be the connection she’s been waiting for all these years.

What the Duke of Weselton lacks in stature, he makes up for in arrogance and showboating. He’s determined to get close to the new queen—that is, until Elsa’s magical secret is revealed. Then he’s the first to call her a monster and try to turn her own kingdom against her—anything that might help him exploit Arendelle’s tradable goods.

Oaken runs Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna. But since Elsa’s massive winter storm hits in mid-July, he finds himself with a surplus of summer supplies. Deal-seekers beware: though he’s good-natured and helpful, if you cross him, Oaken won’t hesitate to throw you out of his humble establishment.

Marshmallow is an enormous icy snowman born from Elsa’s powers. He serves as a brute bodyguard charged with keeping intruders away from her ice palace. The menacing white beast doesn't say much, but he packs a powerful punch.

Personally, I am thinking the true villain will either be the Duke of Weselton or Oaken. Maybe they are in cahoots?

I'll bet anything that Olaf will be perceived by everyone as the obnoxious one and when the movie comes out... Boom!

He's actually the most lovable character in the movie, only to be killed towards the end. I'm totally calling it!

... Not that I actually want it to happen. Olaf being killed off, that is.

I get what you're saying DisneyJedi.I have no worries about Olaf I hope Josh Gad brings humour into him.Now I am worried that the sexy gorgeous Hans will be a useless character.It's like Chris Buck came into the room and said,"You know what?Let's make an animated version of Peeta and Gale."Now we have Kristoff and Hans.Atleast it attracts fan girls.

The interview with the directors is pretty interesting. My favorite question:

Where did the initial inspiration for the story come from?

CB: Well, our initial inspiration is from the Hans Christian Andersen story, "The Snow Queen." But we took off from that. I think the only thing we really have left from that is the character that is a snow queen type of character, but we made it our own. So, it’s loosely inspired. And we’ve moved on and made it quite different, and for today’s audiences too.

JL: We wanted to do something that was timeless but timely. So, we’re really playing with scenes that we hope people really relate to in the modern day.

So I suppose the name "Frozen" is more justified now, if anyone is still iffy on that.

No, it's not. Disney always deviated significantly from the source material but it was not until recently this became an excuse to change the original title. The fact that the movie is only loosely inspired and that's supposedly the reason they didn't retain the original title is PR nonsense and frankly it's not fooling anyone. They said the exact same thing about the title change for Tangled.

Anyone else feel like Olaf looks really awkward next to literally every other character?

And the prophecy will say a evil ruler will take over. I think the Duke will be a side-villain like the Stabbington Brothers while Hans will be the main villain.

I think Oakton or whatever his name will be like Rafiki. The "Control your powers" is defientely not the Duke since he pretty much banishes her and it sounds too old for Hans, so it's defientely Oakton or Elsa's father.
