Frost And The Strength Of Sisterly Love

Frost is the immensely popular Disney movie that broke all the rules of the genre. It focuses on the incredible strength of sisterly love as well as other important life lessons.

What is unique about this film is that  sisterly love triumphs over all adversity. Furthermore, even though there are princesses, they are far from the typical young lady in need that we are familiar with from most fairy tales.

Frost is inspired by the story of the Snow Queen , written by Hans Christian Andersen, the author of, among other things, The Little Mermaid.

In the original saga, an evil ice queen kidnaps a child, who is later rescued by a friend, Gerda. The girl must overcome severe dangers to save her friend, even if she has the help of a set of helpers.

Given how dark Andersen’s saga is, the producers opted out of much of the source material to adapt it for their audience. Despite this, many similarities with the Snow Queen can be seen in the 2013 film.

Frost : ice rich

Frost tells the story of Elsa and Anna, the princesses in the kingdom of Arendal. Elsa has the ability to freeze everything she touches. When she accidentally injures Anna, she decides to lock herself in so she can not injure her sister. Anna does not remember the incident, and thinks that her sister no longer loves her.

After the death of their parents, Elsa inherits the throne. Anna decides to marry a handsome prince, Hans, whom she has just met. However, Elsa does not approve of the engagement.

In an outburst of fear, she loses control of her powers, and her magic is revealed in front of her subjects. The Duke of Wesselton, the prince’s uncle, accuses her of being a monster, and she escapes and overthrows her kingdom in a magical winter.

Anna takes courage and sets out to search for her older sister. Along the way, she gets help from a young ice worker, Kristoffer, and his reindeer, Sven. Together they experience a series of adventures and meet a lovely, talking snowman named Olof. But when they finally reach Elsa, her uncontrolled magic hurts her sister once again.

Kristoffer takes Anna home to the prince, not knowing that Hans is in fact a cunning villain. The only way for Anna to recover is if an act of true love is performed to reverse the magic. Hans, who plans to take over the throne himself, refuses. When Elsa discovers this, she finally confronts Hans.
Just when Hans is going to kill Elsa, Anna comes back and throws herself between them. By understanding what her sister has done, Elsa embraces her sister and it is her sisterly love that breaks the curse.

The Importance of Sisterly Love and Other Frost Lessons

The underlying message of Frost’s plot is that the love between sisters is magical, unique and special. When Anna turns to ice, it is not a romantic kiss that saves her, but her sister’s tears. This can teach us an important lesson for life:

• The love between brothers and sisters reminds us that romantic love is not everything in this life.
• We should not idealize romantic love or try to change ourselves for its sake. Everything comes at the right time.
• Sisters are there to love one another, support one another, and overcome adversity side by side.

Love is also represented in the film in Kristoffer’s character. He represents true love, with all its shortcomings and complexities.
Although we can clearly see the attraction between Anna and Kristoffer, the humble snowplow’s appearance does not correspond to Anna’s perception of romantic love.

In the same way, history emphasizes the value of sacrifice and the necessity of self-control. These are lessons that Elsa must learn the hard way. Elsa is the most lonely person in the film and she learns to enjoy her loneliness.

Despite her need for independence, she still changes her mind. She continues to discover that it is possible to live her own life without being cut off from the world. All we really need to live in harmony with others is good communication and respect.

In life and in art, those who truly love us will know how to appreciate us for who we really are. And when it comes to brothers and sisters, they not only know all our little flaws – they love us for them.
