Last week, “Frozen 2” co-director Chris Buck revealed that he has already figured out the ending for the sequel of the most successful animated film in history and that he and the screenwriting team are now busy working on ideas on how to start it.
As the director did not mention any specifics about the movie’s planned ending, describing it only as terrific, the pronouncement led to speculations about what would it be, mostly focusing on the possible love interest for Queen Elsa.
According to Venture Capital Post, fans are pushing Olaf to become the love interest of Queen Elsa since the snow character embodies true love and selflessness in the first film. But of course, Olaf’s character should be refreshed and modified, and that there should be a twist in his character if he is to become Queen Elsa’s love interest for the sequel.
There have also been previous reports that a reformed Prince Hans would also be back for “Frozen 2” to redeem himself for his villainous role in the first animated film and will eventually become Queen Elsa’s love interest.
Returning characters
“Frozen 2” will see the return of the main characters of the first film including Queen Elsa, Princess Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven.
The plot of the second movie could be similar as “Ozma of Oz” but fans are more excited on who would be the love interest of Queen Elsa since she did not have any at all during the first movie.
In an interview last week, Buck said that the important thing is that they know where they are going but admitted that they still have a lot of things to figure out.
The Oscar-winning animator, screenwriter, and director admits that it is really a challenge to further improve on perfection since “Frozen,” being the top-grossing animated film in history, is in itself a perfect movie.
He said that it’s really tough putting together a sequel for a very successful movie because of the pressure and weight of expectations that is given on him by the producers and most especially the fans.
Having had his fair share of film-making experience, Chris Buck truly understands the power of animation and how it captivates young audiences from all around the world.
Optimistic for ‘Frozen 2’
Walt Disney officials are also hoping that the immense success of “Frozen” will trickle all the way to “Frozen 2” when it is released a few years down the road.
“Frozen” made a combined box office and home video haul of $1.6 billion worldwide and has also won two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. The catchy theme of the movie, “Let It Go” is still very popular almost 18 months after “Frozen” was released late in 2013.
If Frozen 2 has Hans as the love of Elsa, then Disney is full of idiots. Really… We want our daughters to think that someone can a use and abuse, and almost kill a girl… But we can all forgive and forget???? This is a terrible message!!!!
Never heard about redemption and forgiveness??
No! I think so cool!
Well, I must said I’m not agree at all about the Olaf thing… I know is moraly ok but I like Olaf the way he is… the bond betwen Elsa and Anna, besides he’s so cute and funny, changing him into a human will be bleh…
Now, Hans… I do agree he was just too cruel that it results unrealistic to make him good. But, he’s background story is very very interesting to look up, and the fact about the mirror just make me curious if he was under a curse or something… that being an acceptable justification for his behavior. And another thing that will make his redemption credible is if he do the opposite of what he was going to do to Elsa, now putting his life in danger or almost die in the atempt to protect her, then I could said he has been redeemed. However… I doubt about this since Disney never has put an ex-villain with a hero/princess, it’s not their style and it looks too mature and deep for children but for me it would be interesting and I would be capable to understand. Personally, I really want Hans being that nice guy and at the same time I like the villain he is… I’m so confused…!! I think Hans with Elsa would be controversial and maybe Frozen franchise will be cursed by parents… but if things are made ok, the writing about his redemption, forgivness and sacrifice, to make it realistic and not forced, maybe I wouldn’t feel guilty for liking him with Elsa, since I really like Elsa’s character, her way to be and thinking, I prefer her without any man or creature… why not a single female queen? A strong and great leader… being single is not bad like most peolpe portray it. Finally, If I have to choose I will give Hans a chance just because there are valid elements to write about him changing; the mirror stuff and family drama. If Angelina’s Maleficent found forgiveness after she cursed an inocent baby Aurora…why not Hans too?
That’s just my opinion. Disney is the word.
