Elsa's Mortality (Or Immortality) While the origins of Elsa's powers remain a mystery when the credits roll in Frozen, the sequel sought to clear a few things up. Elsa is revealed to be the Fifth Spirit of the Enchanted Forest, born to bridge the magic of nature and people. But what does this mean for Elsa personally? Growing up, it was never clear why Elsa was capable of manifesting freezing cold elements.
Her father, King Agnarr, explains that she was born with the condition. As children, Elsa and Anna would play together, often creating adventures out of the slippery ice peaks and mysterious caverns that Elsa would build for them. Elsa said "The cold never bothered me anyway" in Frozen 1-so why did she freeze in Frozen 2? This moment confused millions, but the answer is hiding in plain sight.
Why did Elsa freeze in Ahtohallan? The Ahtohallan symbolises memories which are a gateway to the past in the present. Thus, the lullaby about Ahtohallan cautions against venturing too deep into the past, into memories, or else there's danger of drowning. Frozen 2 takes us on a journey to find the origin of Elsa's freezing powers, in hopes to save their kingdom.
As Elsa and Anna search for an answer, we explore the science behind freezing and crystallization. How does Elsa form crystals, exactly? The geometry of crystal formation is created through the formation of a fractal. And yet in this film, it takes only seconds for Elsa to freeze into an ice statue.
So if she can tolerate cold weather far more than the average human, just WHY did Elsa turn to ice when she was in Ahtohallan (which obviously paralleled Anna turning to an ice statue after being accidentally struck in the heart by Elsa)? It felt like the writers intended to play out the lullaby's warning to a tee, but then also wanted to be smart and do this little twist on the first movie where this time Elsa is the one that freezes. Otherwise it would make more sense for Elsa becoming encased - drowned, if you will - in ice, rather than outright turning into ice. Frozen 2 had a big mystery in the movie, but did Elsa die in Frozen 2? In the sequel, Anna and Elsa settle into their new lives three years after the first movie's events.
Everything seems to be going well when Elsa suddenly. 4. Ahtohallan: Ahtohallan is stated to be the source of all magic (including Elsa's), hold the answers and the path, and where "all is found".
The power here is such that it can even freeze a post-"Show Yourself" Elsa, who is otherwise clearly the most powerful being in the "Frozen" universe. This much is all shown pretty clearly in the movie. Check out the cool animation process when Elsa freezes & unfreezes in Frozen 2Frozen 2 is now streaming on Disney +! Score: Christophe Beck.
