Frozen 2: 10 Key Questions You Should Be Asking

As most of the previous questions demonstrate, Frozen 2 will have to maintain a very delicate balance between several tricky elements. One of the hardest challenges will be trying to keep a consistent tone.

The original Frozen was most popular with two very different groups – children who enjoyed the pretty visuals and catchy songs, and older audiences who were drawn to the more serious and subversive elements.

Since then, the Frozen franchise has gone back and forth between these demographics. Frozen Fever and Olaf’s Frozen Adventure were both lighter and goofier, and aimed more at children.

In contrast, the Broadway retelling of Frozen adopted an edgier approach, with the standout new song Monster containing a section where Elsa contemplates suicide. None of these have been as well-received as the original film, showing that the Frozen universe can lose its charm if things get too heavy or too juvenile.

Based on the trailers and posters, Frozen 2 seems like a much darker movie, with its mysterious images of Anna and Elsa in the woods and impressively epic storyline. However, the mystery will be accompanied by a much greater sense of adventure, a more varied colour scheme full of crisp autumnal hues, and plenty of new action sequences.

Frozen 2 aims to be bigger and more mature, but that approach can really inspire and enthral children. If Frozen 2 commits to a combination of danger and wonder, it could easily recapture the multi-generational appeal of the original.
