Disney really missed an opportunity when they decided Frozen was going to have exactly nothing in common with the original story. Honestly that kind of analysis could be worth a video all on its own…
It's myth-y enough I'm still gonna put it in the same playlist, but it would've felt disingenuous calling it a myth, soooooo

White Witch: So what did you to bribe him with, Turkish delight? Snow Queen: Nope. The dumbass just got in, no bribery. White Witch: I hate you!
-
Honestly the snow queen feels like a young kid who found a stray animal they liked. "He followed me home, so I'm going to keep him! We're going to play fun games and I'm sure I won't accidentally get him killed by not knowing what I'm doing - Hey why are you turning blue?"
-
To be fair, it almost sounds like the snow Queen wasn’t even evil so much as just… some magic woman who REALLY didn’t understand how children work?
-
Kay not realizing he's freezing because he's focusing so hard on the puzzle is concerningly relatable
-
"Don't follow beautiful women into blizzards" You can't fucking stop me
-
Disney fans: THIS ISNT LIKE FROZEN. Red: well no shit.
-
Fun fact: the two ladies Gerda met before she found the Snow Queen's palace are the Sami woman and the Finnish woman. This means Gerda traveled all the way from Denmark(?) to the Lapland region of Finland.
-
This actually ended pretty good for being a Hans Christian Andersen story
-
Red: are there no parents in this town? Me: Look, the parents in fairytales are either dead, evil, or neglectful. Gerda isn't missing out on anything.
-
The snow queen was barely in the story. That's like if Frozen had Elsa plastered all over the DVD cover, but the main character is actually her sister or something...wait a minute....
-
Other people, watching this video: This isn’t Frozen! Me, watching Frozen: This isn’t The Snow Queen!
-
To be honest, here, the snow queen doesn't even look all that antagonistic, she was just kinda "Oh you're cool, you can come with me" and besides, who doesn't have an army of monsters living and guarding their house?
-
Disney Princess: can get animals to help with chores by singing Gerda: psh, casuals
-
"Gerda kisses away his frostbite... Just... Just go with it..." I mean she summoned warrior angels with her breath, is this really supposed to be surprising?
-
The whole Snow Queen part kind of feels like set up for a sequel. She's gonna come home, totally unaware of the plot, find the puzzle solved and the boy she tasked with solving it missing. WTF happens if she tries to keep her promise to Kay?
-
"She prayed. And her breath summons two spear-wielding angels that beat up the snow demons" So, she's a cleric, then (edit)

“It’s like Santa, but backwards and also a crime.” - Red 2021

This should’ve been titled “Gerda: The Walking Plot Armor”
-
Now I can’t stop thinking about Dwayne the rock Johnson in a luxurious white dress and wig just strutting around as the snow queen. Thank you red

Suddenly I get where the inspiration for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe came from.
