The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen

Elsa was from then on, forced to keep her distance from Anna to protect her. Their parents rushed her to the trolls and they wiped her memory of her sister’s powers and that saved her life. Once, when playing with Anna, she accidentally struck ice into her head. The girls were best friends as children but Elsa had a secret: she had ice powers that she could not control. It is a story of sisters, Anna and Elsa of Arendelle. The story ends when they go home and summer begins.ĭisney’s adaptation, Frozen, is a much more emotional tale. Gerda’s cries and her hot tears melt the ice in his heart and Kay begins to cry, too, and the mirror comes out of his eye. The Snow Queen is made out to be the villain and Gerda, the hero. The next day the Snow Queen steals him away and Gerda goes on a search to find him. A few nights later when it is snowing he sees the Snow Queen but she quickly fades away. A piece also lands in his eye, making him aware of all of the world’s imperfections.

In the story, trolls send an evil mirror down to Earth and it breaks into pieces and a piece of it lands in Kay’s heart which will turn his heart into a lump of ice. In Andersen’s version, the story focuses on the relationships between two childhood friends, Kay and Gerda. Their latest animated feature is based on Hans Christian Andersen’s story, “The Snow Queen.” Disney spun this tale into their newest movie, Frozen. Disney has remade many classics fairy tales into movies.
