Frozen Movie Spoiler and Review

Spoiler Alert! Do not read if you do not want to spoil the movie for yourself.


Ok so before watching this movie, I actually watched a few clips on it and also read a spoiler. And that drove my brother nuts, going "You spoilt the movie for yourself!!!" all around the house, which kinda drove me to watch it. So, my version of the spoiler:



The movie starts with "choral" singing and then a scene of some men carving out ice blocks from a frozen river. A young Kristoff and Sven, his pet reindeer, appears in the scene. Young Kristoff appears to be trying to learn from the actions of the other men.

The scene changes to Princess Elsa's and Princess Anna's room, where Anna tries to wake up a sleeping Elsa, but Elsa wants to sleep and bumps her off the bed. Anna then comes up with an idea and asked "Do you want to build a snowman?". This gets Elsa up and they both go to a room in the castle to play. Elsa uses her power to create snow for them to play with. Elsa and Anna build a snowman, which they call Olaf.  Anna then jumps around the pile of snow and then into air while Elsa creates new piles of snow for Anna to land on. But Anna went too fast and Elsa couldn't keep up, and Elsa accidentally hits Anna in the head with some magic, which cause Anna to become unconscious. Elsa cries out for her parents to help.


The king and queen takes the girls to a field where they summon a group of rocks. Young Kristoff and Sven are watching them in the shadows. The rocks become trolls (?) and their "king"/grandpa, Pabbie, uses his magic to heal Anna and removes the memory of Elsa's magic during the time they spend together, but retaining the fun that they had. The magic leaves Anna with a white streak in her hair. Pabbie warns the king and queen that Elsa's power will grow stronger and she needs to learn how to control it. To hide Elsa's powers, the king and queen decide to contain the girls in the castle and seal the gates and moving Elsa to her own room. 

After Anna awakes, she was unaware of all that happened. Anna tries to get Elsa to play with her no a snowy day. "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" begins to play.



Elsa never leaves her room, and is also given a pair of gloves since she freezes anything that comes into contact with her. The king and queen dies when a storm hits when they were out at sea. 

Three years later, we see that it is the day of Elsa's coronation.  Dignitaries from all over come. Anna becomes excited and starts to sing "For The First Time in Forever".



Anna is excited that the gates are finally opened, the ballrooms will have a ball, meeting other people and hopefully meeting "the one" at the end of the day. Elsa is concerned about controlling her powers.

As Anna walks along the streets, she bumps into the horse which belongs to Prince Hans of the Southern Isles and falls. Prince Hans helps her up and Anna becomes instantly attracted to him but she leaves when the coronation ceremony is about to begin.

During the coronation ceremony, Elsa needs to remove her gloves to hold the orb and scepter. They start to freeze but she manage to hide it. Later at the ball Queen Elsa and Princess Anna was being introduced to the guests and Anna was "forced" to stand beside Elsa. The girls "make up". The Duke of Weselton tries to dance with Elsa, but Elsa refused by saying "I don't dance... ... ... But my sister does." After dancing with the duke, Anna goes to tell Elsa how she wishes that they would spend more time together, and Elsa said she wishes so but she can't. Anna goes away about to cry when she bumps into Hans. Anna and Hans dance and talked the evening away. They then realizes the mutual attraction and they start singing "Love is An Open Door". 



Hans proposes on the spot, and Anna immediately accepts. 

They then go to Elsa to tell her about their plan to get marries. Elsa refuses, as she refuse to believe that Anna wants to marry someone that she has only but met. Anna however believes that she is in love and starts arguing with Elsa. Anna grabs Elsa's glove off while Elsa was walking away. Anna pleads with Elsa to tell her why she is shutting everyone off. An angry Elsa with a wave of her hand creates icepicks, to the shock of everyone in the room. Elsa runs out of the castle to more excited people/subjects. One woman asks if she's okay. Elsa backs away nervously and accidentally touches a fountain with her bare hand and freezes the watch, to everyone's shock. She runs away with Anna still chasing her. As Elsa gets more frightened, she begins to freeze everything ad causes the entire kingdom to be covered in snow and ice. 

Although Elsa is still in shock about what she had done, she starts to embrace her powers and sings "Let It Go".

Anna takes off on a horse to get Elsa back so that she can undo the winter that she has set off. Hans express his concern for her, and Anna tells him to help to take care of the kingdom. As Anna rides through the forest, the horse gets frightened and Anna falls off the horse and the horse runs back to Arendelle. Anna manage to make it to a shop run by Oaken and purchases snow boots and winter dress which was the last one in the store. Kristoff comes in to get carrots for Sven, pickaxe and rope. Oaken charges him 40 for the items citing more demand than supply and Kristoff does not have enough. They can't reach a compromise and Oaken throws him Kristoff out. Kristoff stays in a nearby shed with Sven and sings "Reindeer Are Better Than People". Anna comes by with the pickaxe and rope (and carrots) and exchanges them for Kristoff guiding her through the north mountains. Kristoff agrees.

As Kristoff and Anna are in the sled heading to the north mountains, Anna tells Kristoff about the story of how she got into a fight with Elsa and Kristoff reacts when she tells him about how she got engaged to Hans. Kristoff, like Elsa, cannot believe that Anna is going to marry a man she hardly know. Out of the blue, a pack of wolves attack the group and Anna and Kristoff fight them off. They reach a cliff where Sven jumps across with Anna and Kristoff cuts off his sled to save himself. The sled get destroyed at the bottom of the cliff but the rest are save from the wolves.

The group runs into Olaf, the snowman that Elsa and Anna build when they were a child. Olaf is now a living thing. He joins Anna and Kristoff in "bringing summer back" as he wants to experience summer for the first time and starts singing "In Summer".


In Arendelle, Hans hands out cloaks to the people. The Duke is not happy to see him using the resources for the people. Anna's horse runs in, and Hans fear something has happened and goes to find Anna herself. The Duke orders his men to follow Hans and to kill Elsa is they need to.

Kristoff, Sven and Anna make it to the mountain and Anna thinks she needs to start climbing. She doesn't get far. Olaf says she's found an ice staircase that leads to Elsa's castle. Kristoff, Anna and Olaf climbs the stairs while Sven stays behind because its too slippery for his hooves. Elsa and Anna reunite and although they are both happy to see each other, Elsa keeps her distance to protect her sister. Anna however is determined to get through to her and they sing "For The First Time in Forever Reprise" where Elsa learns that she set of an eternal winter that she has no idea how to undo.



In fear, Elsa hurls a wave of magic all around her and this time it strikes her Anna's heart. Kristoff runs in. The ice room seem to be melting and Elsa creates a huge snow creature which Olaf calls Marshmallow to take them out. Anna throws a snowball at Marshmallow's head, provoking him and causing him to chase Kristoff and Anna. They end up on a blanket of snow and Kristoff notices that more strands on Anna's hair are turning white. Kristoff realizes who he need to go to for this to be undone as he has seen it before.


Kristoff takes them to a field where there are many rocks and starts talking to the rocks. Olaf thought Kristoff has gone crazy and asks Anna to run, but the rocks becomes the trolls and they welcome Kristoff back. When the trolls saw Anna, they became excited thinking that Kristoff and Anna are in love and starts singing "Fixer Upper".

Pabbie comes in later, and tells Kristoff that the only way to saw Anna is by an act of true love. Kristoff and Anna figured that Anna needs to return to Hans to get a kiss from Hans to thaw the frozen heart.

At the same time,  Hans and the guards find the ice castle. They fight Marshmallow and Hans manage to cut off his leg to make him fall over the ledge. Hans and the guards runs into the castle while Elsa tried to hide. A 'fight' ensures and Elsa falls unconscious when an ice chandelier overhead falls and almost kills Elsa. Elsa awakes to find that her hands are chained up in a tower in her own castle. Hans enters the room and pleads with her to undo the winter, but she cannot. She asks him to convince everyone that she's not a threat, and he promises to do his best.

Kristoff leaves Anna with Hans when they reach Arendelle, and leaves. Anna tells Hans that she needs an act of true love to thaw the frozen heart, and Hans leans in presumably to kiss her, but says "Oh, Anna...if only somebody really did love you." Anna is puzzled, and Hans explains that it was part of a plan to become king since he was the youngest of 13 brothers so he planned to marry into the kingdom and since Anna was so eager to get married, he picked Anna instead of Elsa. He kills the fire to deny Anna of any warmth and then goes to the others to lie to them to say that Anna is dead after reciting their wedding vows. Hans is then made the official ruler of Arendelle, and as his first act, he charges Elsa with treason and sentences her to death.

Hans and the guards goes to Elsa as the locks around her hands starts to get more frozen and as they enter, Elsa uses her powers to break free and escapes.

Kristoff continues to walk away sadly and Sven knows that he has fallen for Anna. Kristoff starts talking to Sven and realises the he loves Anna and runs back to save Anna after seeing a blizzard ready to form over Arendelle.

Olaf finds his way to Anna and reignite the fire at the fireplace. He feels the heat for the first time and starts melting. Anna relates what Hans did to her and Olaf convinces her that Kristoff loves her. Olaf notices from the window that Kristoff and Sven are coming back and Anna runs out of the room to find him.

The blizzard begins to intensify. Kristoff finds Anna and he runs to her. Elsa is also in the same storm and Hans was able to find her. Hans convinces Elsa that she has killed Anna. Just as Elsa breaks down and Hans raises a sword to kill her, Anna sees it and throws herself in front of Elsa. Anna runs in time as her whole body freezes and cause the sword to shatter, throwing Hans onto his back. Elsa cries seeing her sister turned into solid ice and begins to hug her ice figure and cry. Just as Elsa cries, Anna begins to unfreeze and Elsa found out that love is able to undo the winter, and the kingdom is free from the winter.Hans gets up and wonders how Anna's heart was unfrozen. She replies, "The only one here with a frozen heart is you." Then Anna hits him so hard in the face that he falls off into the river.

Hans is locked up on the ship that is headed back to his kingdom for his 12 older brothers to deal with Hans on his deeds. Elsa also declares/writes that Arendelle will no longer do business with Weselton. Elsa gives Olaf his personal flurry to keep him from melting in the summer. Anna gives Kristoff a new sled to compensate him for the one that he has lost and he is so grateful that he kisses her.

Elsa freezes the floor near the castle to create a platform for her people to skate on. Anna comes to her trying not to fall on the ice, and Elsa makes a pair of ice skates for Anna, and the two sisters begin to have fun just as they used to.
