She discovers the truth about her grandfather, who had built the dam not to help the Northuldra, but to bind them to his power. So Elsa is basically the Fifth Element, I guess. Elsa makes her way, alone, to a frozen island where there’s a frozen river called Ahtohallan where she discovers that she’s the fifth primal spirit alongside water, fire, earth and wind. In any case, the girls head north to find out the truth about all of this, leaving their subjects behind them. We learn of a story that they heard from their father as young girls, about how their grandfather and his men built a dam for the tribal Northuldra people of an enchanted forest to the north, and how the whole thing ended in blood and tears and the forest was put under a dark spell. This apparently all ties into the girls’ parents past. Suddenly Elsa is hearing voices, and an elemental spirit shows up at the Arendelle and puts out all the fires, starts an earth quake and forces everyone out.
Suddenly we have this whole story about a magical river that can tell you everything about the past. The plot, from the very get-go, feels forced and tacked-on.
To be honest, I think the original got off to a slow start and then ended powerfully.įrozen II follows suit, to some degree, with the ending much better than the beginning, but the whole thing is a convoluted mess. Anna goes to find her lost sister, and one thing leads to another and pretty soon there’s a story of betrayal and true love and you know the rest. When their parents die at sea, the girls face even more trauma and heartache, and Elsa leaves to go it alone in the frozen north where she builds herself an ice palace and sings “Let It Go”.
