This is 10 Facts About ELSA Disney Wants Hidden Forever.
Evil Elsa
Frozen is based off a Danish fairy tale from Hans Christian Andersen.
Published at Christmas... of Eighteen-Freaking-Forty-Four, the story is a battle of good and evil at
its core told over the course of seven chapters.
The evil I just mentioned?
That would be Elsa.
Of course she wasn't named Elsa back then, she was simply called The Snow Queen.
An icy woman with a killer kiss that enjoys making kids do puzzles.
Or something like that.
Beginning as early as 1937, Disney Studios, including Walt himself, attempted to adapt
the story.
In every version, the Snow Queen was the main antagonist.
Including the first script from the current film’s writer.
It wasn’t until the last minute the sisters angle was added, giving the story the heart
it needed, and the douche-bag villain the world wanted; Prince Hans.
Fashion Faux Pas
When Elsa was still evil, she had a whole different costume, one that wasn’t as glamorous.
Instead of long-flowing hair and elaborate gowns, Elsa was intended to look more more
ice-influenced with blue skin and spiky, blue hair.
One of the many inspiration listed for early iterations of the character was Amy Winehouse.
Not so much for Amy’s trademark beehive hairdo, but her figure and appearance.
In addition, her clothing might have scared the children, instead of inspiring millions
of girls to dress up as her for Halloween.
Her dress was supposed to be made entirely of weasels.
Not dead ones mind you – which is still an awful look – but living weasels that
would rear their tiny heads and hiss at people.
That is not a look that sells toys or lunchboxes.
Climate Change Conspiracy
Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the biggest celebrities in the world.
He’s also one of the biggest activists in the climate change movement.
While he wasn’t part of the film, he had to pleased by the subtle – almost non-existent
– hints of climate education taking place during Frozen.
Elsa at the center, an icy representation of the worst-case scenario for climate change.
Bloggers and commentators related Prince Hans to undeveloped nations and the Duke of Weselton
as the financially strong countries attempting to maintain dominance as energy solutions
evolve.
That’s some deep reindeer droppings right there, man.
Others referenced Elsa freezing her hometown, and needing love and loyalty to overcome and
undo climate change as proof.
Another fact confirmed by these theories, the people coming up with them love nature,
cause they’re smoking some quality plants.
Christian Propaganda
Most people have a friend that is always sharing what they’re into.
While it’s good for them, maybe it’s not for you.
So, you just wish they ‘d stop trying to shove their point DOWN YOUR THROAT.
Those who aren’t down with Gee Oh Dee, felt Frozen was attempting to compel them with
the power of Christ using talking snowman and a potentially telepathic reindeer?
It makes sense, as the original fairy tale uses heavy religious symbolism.
You know, minor stuff, like the entire first chapter is about Hell attempting to mock Heaven.
Also Gerda, renamed to Anna for the movie, uses the Lord’s Prayer to battle snowflakes
guarding the Snow Queen’s palace.
While that aspect was removed from the film, theology professors have compared Anna to
Jesus, and her life-sacrifice to save her sisters soul.
So sayeth the Book of Olaf Three Sixteen.
Powers = Puberty
If only Elsa hadn’t been born with cryokinetic magic, life would have been different for
her family.
Learning to deal with her gifts was troublesome for the girl, almost resulting in the death
of her sister, Anna.
An accident that forces Elsa’s family to encourage suppression of her powers, until
she said Elsa Don’t Give a Shit and created the worlds most kick-ass ice carvings.
Those powers represent female puberty according to some theories.
Women feeling an awakening of sorts, emotions and realizations of physical attraction and
flirtatious attention.
Told by the majority to keep their gifts under wraps, till one day they flip the double bird
to the double rainbow and let it all go.
Basically, it’s like Stephen King’s Carrie.
Also a metaphor for the awakening of adolescence.
Thankfully there’s less pigs blood... and less John Travolta in Frozen.
World’s Most Expensive Haircut
Looking your best comes with a price.
Disney animators went a wee bit overboard on the budget to ensure that Elsa, and her
ice castle, looked stunning.
More than 600 people worked on the film, including hundreds of animators that created several
new types of software for the film, such as a snowflake generator that could create over
2,000 different-shaped animated flakes of snow.
They also created a software named Tonic, which is used to sculpt and animate characters
hair and fur.
Something needed for Elsa’s flowing main of platinum braids.
Her hair contained over 420,000 individual strands of computer-generated follicles.
For comparison, Tangled’s Rapunzel has seventy feet of locks, containing only 27,000 strands.
Heck, human heads only have around 100,000.
Let’s hope Elsa has quality hygiene, lice would be awful.
The Royal Illuminati
People have claimed that Disney films promote propaganda for all kinds of causes.
Some charge the company with promoting the occult for years, using symbols commonly referenced
with secret societies.
The triangle, one of the most well-known symbols associated with the Illuminati – and Jay
Z - is heavily featured throughout the film, including several windows and peaks in the
castle at the center of Arendelle.
Combined with a coronation ceremony that appears heavily influenced by Freemason rituals, you
have the makings of a conspiracy.
Historians would point out the architecture of the town is accurate for that time period
in Norway.
Which…
I suppose makes sense, but I’d like to think of Elsa hanging with Jay Z and Rihanna, sharing
stories while wearing matching robes and flashing the triangles to their social media followers.
Sibling Rivalry
Another popular theory, squashed by Disney, was Elsa and Anna possibly having a little
brother.
In a typical trope used by Disney, someone has to die to move the story forward, and
that someone is usually a parental figure.
Anna and Elsa lose their parents to a shipwreck in chilly Norwegian waters… or did they?
Maybe their ship kept sailing, to warmer seas, near lands filled with jungles and talking
animals.
What if their mother was pregnant, and they had a baby boy on board, before their craft
reached shore.
Only then to be killed by a leopard and their son, now an orphan, is raised by gorillas.
Yes… their brother is Tarzan, King of Jungle… at least in the imaginative minds of the films
writers.
It may not be cannon, but never give up hope of a Phil Collins/Olaf duet.
Baby’s First Boner
Elsa’s was called awful names from the people of Arendelle once her icy powers were revealed.
Granted she didn’t help her cause by running away and freezing the entire town, still,
some of the words were cruel.
One name she wasn’t called in the movie, but was by some mommy bloggers, was SLUT.
Elsa was shamed by conservative Moms who obviously missed the Christian undertones, only seeing
the sexual ones.
Sighting the erotic – their words not mine, though it was kinda hot – appearance change
Elsa goes through while singing the movies’ break out song, Let It Go.
Starting in a royal gown, and literally stripping away parts of her dress, revealing a long-slited
skirt, womanly hips and a bouncing bosom.
Giving children their first apparent taste of striptease from a frosty femme fatale with
an unrealistic waist size.
Born This Way
One of the most vocal theories to come from the movie was Elsa’s transformation from
reluctant sister to snowflake flinging bad-ass as an allegory for being gay.
It’s specifically mentioned that Elsa was not cursed, but born with her magic.
She’s told to hide it from others, which she does until it all comes out in typically
unplanned fashioned.
Once she’s out… the girl is OUT.
Singing what could be interpreted as a gay anthem for today’s youth, it’s lyrics
revealing a girl who was told always be good, concealing her true self, but now that all
is revealed, she is not going to hold back anymore.
Powerful.
Add in Oaken the shopkeeper having a same sex partner – look again at his family picture
- and it might be the gayest Disney movie ever.
Not that there is anything wrong with that...
We didn’t mean to go George Lucas, and start desecrating the fantasies of future children
by ruining a movie they loved.
But.. the truth cannot be suppressed, and CBR is not going to let Disney keep these
facts under wraps any longer.
