"Frozen" fans will see a cute little Queen Elsa while she is still getting used to her magical powers in the upcoming sequel to the Disney's hit computer-animated musical fantasy film.
According to a report by Movie News Guide, Elsa's childhood story will be a focus of "Frozen 2." As it delves into her youth, the animation will feature how she got her winter power and how Arendelle's queen mastered wielding it. Aside from her back story, Disney will also be reportedly showcasing Elsa's lighter side. While the first installment displays her torment on her lack of ability to control her magic, this time around, she gets to have more fun.
Co-director Chris Buck was quoted by Movie Pilot when he revealed the major scoop. He said that Elsa would be a lot happier in "Frozen 2."
"In the movie, Elsa went through a very dramatic character arc, and in Frozen Fever, she got to lighten up. We saw a bit more of her personality. So then we started thinking about what we could do with all of these characters in another film," he said.
Buck also shared how Disney take the responsibility of teaching children through the film, especially in dealing with life problems. With the worldwide success of "Frozen," the producers are aware that kids watch it "over and over again" and that it would be "a missed opportunity" not to have a decent message to be absorbed.
Meanwhile, a lot of speculations regarding the movie's storyline has circulated the Internet, from Anna's secret power to "Frozen's" tie up with "Tarzan." The directors discussed some of these in separate interviews. For instance, Buck and Jennifer Lee told Hit-Fix that the rumors about Anna wielding fire were not true. They said that her superpower was love, a very powerful magic, just like when "a mama bear can raise a car off their kid with their super strength."
As for Tarzan being their long lost brother, Buck cleared up his previous statement that Anna and Elsa's parents did not die when their ship sank. In his past interview, the director said that the pair were washed up on a shore near a jungle, where they later had a baby boy. Sadly, they were killed by a leopard and never got to return to Arendelle again.
"I say, whatever people want to believe, go for it. If you want to tie them all together, then do it. That's the spirit of Disney," he told MTV News.
