Frozen 2: Change And Renewal Is The Underlying Theme Of The Sequel
Frozen takes place in summertime, but the sequel is rooted in change and renewal, and hence, the backdrop of autumn suited the film.
A movie called Frozen would evoke ideas of a snowy landscape and icy winters. Though the first movie takes place in summertime, Elsa, unable to control her powers, plunges Arendelle into an eternal winter. So, the 'Frozen' title was befitting due to Elsa's icy powers, and it stuck. The sequel is rooted in change and renewal, and hence, the backdrop of autumn suited the film.
Production
designer
Michael
Giaimo
embraced
the
idea
of
autumn
for
this
movie.
"Anna
and
Elsa
go
on
very
specific
journeys
in
Frozen
2
and
they
both
grow
and
mature
in
the
process," says
Giaimo.
"Little
by
little
they
each
peel
back
layers,
revealing
more
and
more
depth
and
dimension
in
these
characters.
For
me,
that
meant
removing
the
layers
of
snow
and
getting
down
into
the
earth."
The undercurrent of change flows through the entire movie and is introduced very early with Queen Iduna, Elsa and Anna's mother, singing a haunting lullaby 'All is Found' that tells them of a river that has all the answers. To find something you may have to lose something, and in this case, the two sisters must lose the security of their togetherness and the comfort of their home to seek the answers to the questions that have always troubled Elsa.
Anna, who is devoted to her sister, is determined to follow Elsa, even though it means losing everything she had ever wanted. At the end of the first movie, we see that Anna's world is complete. She has her dear sister, a motley family, her kingdom and all is well. She wouldn't change a thing about it and we see that reflected in a song she sings to comfort Olaf, the snowman. The song 'Some Things Never Change' introduces the idea of change to the movie, and despite its title, it promises that change is on the horizon.
