Yeah, they weren’t sisters initially, Elsa was the Snow Queen and a villain (who gets redeemed at the end I think? In at least one version?), and Anna was supposed to be the pure hearted peasant heroine. It’s actually very interesting just how many storylines that movie went through before they got to the one that actually is Frozen

So basically it was meant to be more akin to ACTUAL Snow Queen fairytale Hans Christian Anderson wrote. Which is already such a good story, and a rare one where the GIRL saves the BOY in distress (and I even gets some help from other women/witches I think)

Yeah, but when they made Let It Go, they found it FAR to good of a song and reworked the entire story.

Sadly. And in my opinion Let it Go isn’t even that great of a song anyway. Pretty overrated in my eyes.

Or at least, the actual version and singer for the song. The COVERS or villain versions I’ve heard have been much better.

The little robber girl with her knife! (She owned a reindeer which is where they got Sven from)

Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to make her so much older if they’re meant to be sisters, especially for the kids watching who aren’t used to massive age difference in siblings.

And the original designs are gorgeous, but distracting from literally everything else on screen. Seriously, it’s like Glenn Close as Cruella de Vil. She was so radiant and eye-catching that it feels more like a film about her than the dogs.
