On The 21st Of December In 1821* Elsa Was Born. According To A Year With Elsa And Anna (and Olaf, Too!),

On the 21st of December in 1821* Elsa was born. According to A Year with Elsa and Anna (and Olaf, too!), Elsa was 7 pounds when she was born. She was “born amidst the splendiloquent luminosities of the aurora borealis.” It also snowed as Elsa was born, “blanket(ing) the village in delicate crystals of ice.”

Happy birthday to Elsa!!

*The year is never directly confirmed, this is my personal theory (although it is backed by a couple things in the movies)

Edit: I did math wrong and messed up the year 🤦‍♀️ I fixed it now!

Dive down deep into her sound...

Elsa has discovered new memories in Ahtohallan

But for some reason, she can’t access them.

She's tried everything! Her own magic, the assistance of the spirits, even Northuldra wisdom! Nothing works!

But Elsa has a feeling.

It’s the same feeling that told her to trust the voice that brought her north to Ahtohallan. It’s the same feeling that told her the spirits of the Enchanted Forest are good. Now, that feeling is telling Elsa to talk to her sister.

Anna, the Queen of Arendelle.

The sisters don’t quite know it yet, but those memories they are about to find are yours.

Introducing...

Happy 10th Anniversary of Frozen!!!!! ❄️🥹🩵

Frozen came out in theaters on November 27th, 2013. I saw it opening weekend. I was 8, my sister was 5. Now it’s 2023, ten years later. I am 18 years old and in college. And I still love Frozen. I could tell dozens of stories about what Frozen has meant to me over these ten years. Some of my most vivid memories of playing with my sister were about Frozen. I remember reenacting parts of the story, changing it a bit to fit what we wanted in the moment. When Frozen II came out in 2019, I remember going to see it on opening night. I remember the entire theater laughing so hard at Olaf’s recap and all crying when Elsa froze and Olaf faded away. That Christmas, I got the Art of Frozen II, which introduced me to analysis of the story through the symbolism in Elsa and Anna’s costumes. During the pandemic, Frozen was one thing that was guaranteed to make me happy. I wrote so many analyses and creative projects during that year and into the next two when I felt alone at school. I even wrote about Frozen in my college application essay. And now it’s been announced that we get two more Frozen films; the magic will continue for years to come.

From the time I was 8, playing as Elsa and Anna with my little sister to now, the way I see the story has changed over time but my original love for it hasn’t wavered. Frozen is a story that tells us that love is stronger than fear. It shows us the power of true love in a dark, fear-stricken world. It shows many ways to love, and many ways to express it. And that is powerful.

Frozen has truly had such a huge impact on global culture and on so many of us as individuals. Its universal appeal and powerful themes contribute to the pure magic of it. For ten years, Frozen has been inspiring us, enchanting us, bringing us joy. As we move into the next decade, I know it will continue to have that magic. Frozen took the world by storm back in 2013, and hasn’t released its hold. So, for me and for everyone else who has experienced the magic of this timeless story, “let the storm rage on.”
