Frozen 2 Script Doctor

I worked briefly with Brittney Lee, who went on to work on Frozen. Before she joined, I joked that we would all be "Brittney's Peers."

Now this is a story I'd help write software for.

A lot of this rings true, from the context of the movie being about the "elemental spirit stuff". I experienced the movie being about something different. That said, I agree about some of the plot choices being problematic thematically, eg the murder canoe, and Elsa getting frozen. Anyway, I think the key to the film is understanding the villain. To the movie's credit, in my opinion, there is not a 1-dimensional evil villain ("Villianess") like most Disney films but something much closer to a Miyazaki film. Understanding that doesn’t make all of the script problems disappear but probably makes for a better viewing experience.

Both Snokes had been working at The Snoke-O-Nut Grove coconut candy factory, where one day in the warehouse, a crate of fresh coconuts broke open, and they all rolled out and fell on the workers' heads, causing an entire shift of 200 Snokes to lose their memories, wander out, and start having adventures. Everyone is welcome to add their own stories set in the Expanded Snoke-O-Nut Grove Diaspora fanfic universe.

Like one Snoke is Anakin's valet, and the other Snoke is Padme's chauffeur, after Anakin and Padme had a fight and have been separated for six months, and both Snokes care about their employers, so when they met at the Snoke bar and got to talking, they realized they had a chance to make things right and let True Love Triumph.

Or how about a pair of Snoke clones playing identical twins trying to lure Anakin and Padme back together to produce more Kylo-Ren-grandkids?

If made a porg cosplaying as yourself, you could switch places like parent trap and no one will know

Yes! Like, did anyone else notice that it took three mentions of the curse for anyone to be like "sorcery isn't real"? Until that point, it was just comments like "oh it fell out of fashion." Did magic canonically exist in the grim dystopian world of A Christmas Prince???

Does Elsa still have her Burger Powers? If so she could have fed Arendelle before going on her little adventure.

Would you nominate it for the next Ramble? That's how dreams come true.

And with an X-Ray feature, like Amazon Video, that viewers can click to see how every creature, great or small, is named.

"Brandishing” is such a great word

I liked Frozen 2, but I did feel it was very disjointed and weird. The first Frozen was such a tight, character-driven story. When I heard the voice I thought it would end up being, like, an imprisoned spirit or princess and she would become Elsa's love interest. Like her feelings towards her powers in Frozen already felt very gay coded ("Oh no, I have to hide this intrinsic part of myself and it isolates me and fills me with self-loathing"), so I thought it would fit, especially with her longing to find "someone like me" in the first part of Frozen 2. Sidebar: Did anyone else think retroactively making the sisters' mother part of the forest tribe was very weird? Because the forest people had a distinctive ethnic look which Elsa and Ana's mother didn't have at all?

Yeah, I also expected a lot of horse merch. Like in the style of those 80s She-Ra horses with the translucent plastic, which I coveted as a child. Except today's toys are more advanced so . . . those same horses but with articulated legs.

Monica McFadden

We can't prove that she doesn't.

Shaun Cheah

Since I’m more familiar with your work than with Frozen, every time you said ‘Anna’ I pictured Dakota Johnson, which made this even more entertaining somehow.

So I was expecting a lot of water spirit toys in that sick clear plastic...but toys r us (Canada) had one option paired with a too big Elsa that had no way to ride the horse (barbie legs). Super weird.

Jacqui Sutherland

Oh man Jenny I wish you wrote fanfic

Bryony

bless you for the sneeze

Bradley D Williams

I like what you did with the thumbnail image. The blurring of the background or changing the depth of field

Nick Steffensmeier

God, your version of the movie is so objectively superior that when I'm finally forced to watch Frozen 2 I'll by then have completely supplanted it with your version in my mind and constantly be confused by how the movie "isn't like I remember it"

The Doom Merchant

Elsa "protecting" her sister by shoving her into the murder canoe is the realest

I like Villainess. She seems nice.

Bryan Sutton

Wow Jenny's version is so much better than what we got! Also I haven't checked out the Frozen 2 merch, but please tell me the Murder Canoe exists. I'd buy one for my niece!

Luis

Get those water horse shoes Jenny! Also, thank you ^_^

Andrew Carney

thank you!!!!!

Abigail Elizabeth

We appreciate your insomnia.
