Frozen 2: Ideas for a good sequel.



I'm currently working on a Mock up Frozen 2 poster, We're still a long way from Frozen 2, but I always like to pitch Ideas. There's a lot of expectation being pressed on this movie, as it has big shoes to fill. The first Frozen was like, the biggest Disney fairy tale event since Beauty And The Beast. So this Sequel needs to be good. It can't be just one of those bleh Straight to DVD Disney sequels that came out in the early 2000s, it needs to be Rescuers Down Under good. It needs to be bigger and better than the first one, and luckily for Disney, I have some ideas.

1. Bring back the Lopez's


The songwriting couple that gave Frozen it's annoyingly catchy songs definitely needs to return and create more annoyingly catchy songs. The chances of them actually creating a new song that will knock "Let It Go" off it's Ice throne is one out of a million, but who knows? Maybe they will. "Love can't be denied", a song written by Alan Menken back when Frozen was still The Snow Queen, should also be somehow reworked into the film.

2. Use the Fairy Tale as inspiration

The Snow Queen by Elena Ringo.jpg

Frozen is different from other Disney fairy tales, because it's only loosely based on it's source material, and that's both a good and a bad thing. The original Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale is such an amazing story. It's a story of friendship, and what one girl would to to save her best friend. Granted, Disney did use some aspects of the fairy tale, like "love will thaw a  frozen heart" and a girls going on a quest to find and rescue someone she loves, but that's about it. For the sequel, they should take some cues from the books. Hopefully the introduction of the evil mirror, and Snow Bees, who serve the Snow Queen in the H.C.A story,  should make awesome additions to the story.

3. Jack Frost

 

I'm surprised Jack Frost doesn't get any mention in Frozen, as he is a character with Ice powers, and has origins that root back to Norwegian mythology. You know who else has Ice powers and lives in Norway? Elsa! It would be pretty cool to see how Frozen 2 will play with Norwegian myths and folklore. Who knows, maybe Elsa's family tree might be bigger than we think. 

4. Elsa's dream...GIRL?


#GiveElsaaGirlfriend has been all over the internet lately. While I like Elsa being a single lady (Someone needs to represent us single people) I'm open to seeing Elsa end up in a relationship. But the Idea of Elsa actually being a lesbian...is kind of genius. I mean, Elsa has already come out of the metaphorical closet once when it came to her powers, she could probably do it again with her sexual preference.

5. An evil Snow Queen?


long ago, I heard that Disney was making a "Snow Queen" movie, and then saw this drawing immediately afterwards. It's only a sketch, but her face is so beautiful yet scary, and along with those big, dramatic furs she's wearing, I thought, "Wow, she is gonna be the best Disney Villain ever!" But in the end, they didn't go with her, they went with Elsa, who instead became the best Disney Princess ever. And while I love Elsa, I'm kind of sad they scrapped this beautiful, intimidating and mysterious Snow Queen character. This is such an amazing piece of art, and I really don't want it to go to waste. Maybe they can use this drawing in the sequel as an evil Snow Queen who Elsa has to fight in the third act.

6. Hans either goes nice, or gets offed.


Hans was such a nice guy in the fist two acts of Frozen. I mean, obviously, She was gonna end up with Kristoff, but I thought it was gonna be one of those "May the best man win" type of things where Kristoff and Hans has a friendly rivalry when it comes to Anna's love. But he ended up to be a jerk, they type of guy who Taylor Swift writes about. But like Anna refused to believe that Elsa was a monster, I refuse to believe that Hans is a handsome Jeffrey Dahmer. He probably had a split personality, or his mind snapped after finding someone who was nice to him, as he obviously grew up in a family that didn't care about him. Then maybe, just maybe, he might get a chance at redemption. If not, I suggest that that Snow Queen character I so very badly want in the sequel ends up killing him via Sharp, pointy icicles and Snow bees with long, cold stingers. 


My personal Plot to Frozen 2

     So, the movie begins months after the events of Frozen. Elsa is happily accepted by her subjects, and her and Anna have never been more close. But once in a while, she sneezes, or accidentally pulls a leg muscle, and it causes her power to glitch for a moment, accidentally creating snow and ice related mishap. Her subjects aren't upset by this, but Elsa can't help but feel guilty to be such an inconvenience to her people sometimes. This is the part where Anna sings Elsa a picker-upper song that cheers her up. But out of the blue, a large horde of Snow bees swarm around Elsa and carry her away. Anna, Olaf and Kristoff consult the ancient books and scrolls, and find out Elsa has been kidnapped by the Snow Queen, who may or may not be Elsa's birth mother. So Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven go on a journey to find Elsa. Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Ice, Elsa meets many characters, including Jack Frost, who was once the ice god of Norway during the Bronze age, and then she meets the Snow Queen, who tells Elsa that she is her daughter, and that she will be the next ruler of the Ice kingdom. At first, Elsa is skeptical  of this, but because they look so much alike, and they both have ice powers, she starts having second doubts about who she really is. I won't give the rest of the story away, because if Disney is going this route, I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Snow White & Rose Red: Starring Cara Delevingne


So, Disney is making a slew of Live action movies based on their Classic Fairy Tales. One of them happens to be Snow White & Rose Red, a sort of Companion film to the O.G Snow White. the same story plays out, but only from Snow White's long lost twin sister Rose Red's point of view. They haven't cast any actors for the movie yet, but one actress I think would be good for the dual roles of Snow White and Rose Red is Cara Delevingne. She was in Paper Towns, and I also think she has the right look for it. I mean, her face already looks like something out of an old gothic fairy tale portrait. 

Beauty and the Beast: Starring Emma Watson



So by now, everyone knows that Emma Watson is gonna be in the new live action Beauty and the beast. The trailer already came out. Check it out over here.

I think this is casting choice perfection. I mean, Emma Watson already has the physical features of Belle, and add to the fact that she's a feminist and an activist, she really is a live action Belle.

Cruella De Vil Starring Emma Stone




Disney's making a Cruella De Vil movie starring Emma Stone. I probably would've picked someone else to play Cruella, but I think Emma is a pretty funny actress. I hope they make it a comedy movie, rather than a dark, gritty reboot, because this is Cruella De Vil we're talking about.
