EXT. SHARP MOUNTAIN RIDGE - DAWN
Kristoff, Sven and Anna walk on a narrow rim of a mountain.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. MOUNTAIN FOREST CLEARING - DAY
As they step out of the thick trees, Anna catches sight of
something far below.
ANNA Arendelle.
KRISTOFF It's completely frozen.
Elsa bites her lip.
ANNA ...But it'll be fine. Elsa will
thaw it.
Elsa smiles at her sisters confidence.
KRISTOFF Will she?
Jack scowls.
ANNA (uncertain)
...Yeah. Now come on. This way to
the North Mountain?
She points straight ahead.
KRISTOFF More like this way.
He points her finger up towards a perilously mighty mountain.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. FROZEN WILLOW TREES - DAY
Anna, Kristoff, and Sven walk beneath frozen willows. The
hanging branches glisten like Christmas lights. Sven knocks
them with his antlers. They tinkle like chimes.
The room chuckles at his antics.
ANNA I never knew winter could be so
beautiful.
Suddenly, a voice comes in from nowhere. We'll call that
voice OLAF.
OLAF (O.S.) YEAH...It really is beautiful,
isn't it? But it's so white. You
know, how about a little color?
Must we bleach the joy out of it
all? I'm thinking like maybe some
crimson, chartreuse...
While this is going on, Anna and Kristoff look around for the
source of the rambling. They look at Sven - could he actually
be talking? Sven looks back at them, his antlers tangled in
branches, just as baffled as they are.
In the meantime, a nose-less snowman, Olaf, wanders up behind
them.
OLAF (CONT'D) How `bout yellow-no, not yellow.
Yellow and snow? Brrrr...no go.
Bunny nods wisely.
He stops between Kristoff and Anna. They look down at him.
How did he get there? He suddenly looks up at Anna.
OLAF (CONT'D) Am I right?
Anna SCREAMS! Reflexes take over and she kicks Olaf's head,
sending it flying off his body and into Kristoff's arms.
OLAF (CONT'D) (cheery, to Kristoff)
Hi!
KRISTOFF You're creepy.
Kristoff tosses the head back to Anna and they commence a
game of hot potato.
ANNA I don't want it!
KRISTOFF Backatchya!
OLAF Please don't drop me.
ANNA Don't!
KRISTOFF Come on, it's just a head.
ANNA No!
Olaf's body runs at Anna, arms waving.
OLAF (O.S.) All right, we got off to a bad
start.
ANNA Ew, ew, the body!
Anna puts her hand to her forehead and Kristoff turns red.
Anna slams Olaf's head back on the body, upside down. Olaf
smiles happily, then looks confused.
OLAF Wait, what am I looking at right
now? Why are you hanging off the
earth like a bat?
North laughs.
ANNA (sympathetic)
...Okay. Wait one second.
Anna kneels in front of Olaf and rights his head.
OLAF Oooh! Thank you!
ANNA You're welcome.
OLAF Now I'm perfect.
She looks over his innocent face, gets an idea.
ANNA Well, almost.
She digs into Kristoff's satchel, holds up a carrot just as
Olaf turns toward her. The carrot accidentally slams all the
way through his head.
Everyone jumps a bit.
OLAF Woo! Head rush!
Elsa rolls her eyes and giggles.
ANNA Oh! Too hard. I'm sorry! I-I, I was
just... Are you okay?
Olaf sees a tiny piece of carrot sticking out between his
eyes. He lights up.
OLAF Are you kidding me? I am wonderful!
I've always wanted a nose.
(going cross-eyed to look
at his tiny nose)
So cute. It's like a little baby
unicorn.
Toothless snorts and huffs out a smoke cloud from his nose.
Anna reaches behind Olaf to the bulk of the carrot sticking
out the back of his head, and pushes it forward.
OLAF (CONT'D) What? Hey! Whoa.
(seeing his now big nose)
Oh, I love it even more! Hah...
All right, let's start this thing
over. Hi everyone. I'm Olaf. And I
like warm hugs.
Olaf opens his arms wide to Anna. That triggers a memory. It
takes her a moment to place it, but then she does.
ANNA Olaf?...That's right, Olaf.
OLAF ...And you are?
ANNA Oh, um...I'm Anna.
OLAF And who's the funky-looking donkey
over there?
ANNA That's Sven.
OLAF Uh-huh. And who's the reindeer?
Jack and Bunny bust up laughing. Kristoff sighs and shakes his head.
ANNA ...Sven.
Olaf looks from Kristoff to Sven, confused.
OLAF Oh. They're-oh, okay...
(accepting it)
Makes things easier for me.
Sven tries to bite Olaf's nose.
OLAF (CONT'D) Ha. Aw, look at him tryin' to kiss
my nose.
(gushes)
I like you, too!
ANNA Olaf, did Elsa build you?
OLAF Yeah. Why?
Curious, Kristoff takes one of Olaf's twig arms off, studies
it. It seems to be moving in sync with his other arm.
ANNA Do you know where she is?
KRISTOFF (studying the arm)
Fascinating...
"Really?" Hiccup says dryly, "a twig is 'fascinating'?"
OLAF Yeah. Why?
ANNA Do you think you could show us the
way?
OLAF Yeah. Why?
Elsa smiles.
KRISTOFF (bending the arm)
How does this work?
Olaf's dismembered arm slaps Kristoff across the face.
Jack snickers and can't seem to get in under control, especially when he sees Kristoff's glare. It starts to gently snow.
OLAF Stop it, Sven. Trying to focus
here.
(to Anna)
Yeah, why?
KRISTOFF I'll tell you why. We need Elsa to
bring back summer.
OLAF (shocked)
Summer?
(sinking into wistfulness)
Oh, I don't know why but I've
always loved the idea of summer,
and sun, and all things hot.
Jack and Hiccup's eyebrows raise.
KRISTOFF Really? I'm guessing you don't have
much experience with heat.
OLAF Nope. But sometimes I like to close
my eyes and imagine what it'd be
like when summer does come.
DISSOLVE TO:
OLAF'S FANTASY WORLD - PERFECT SUMMER DAY
Olaf walks through a grassy meadow with the sun shining
behind him. He SINGS.
"In Summer"
OLAF BEES'LL BUZZ / KIDS'LL BLOW DANDELION FUZZ / AND I'LL BE DOING WHATEVER SNOW DOES IN SUMMER.
-Olaf now lies in the sand on a beach.
OLAF (CONT'D) A DRINK IN MY HAND / MY SNOW UP AGAINST THE BURNING SAND / PROB'LY GETTING GORGEOUSLY TANNED IN SUMMER.
Jack snorts, Elsa smacks his arm.
-Olaf sails in a boat.
OLAF (CONT'D) I'LL FINALLY SEE A SUMMER BREEZE / BLOW AWAY A WINTER STORM /
-Olaf floats in the water. All his pieces begin to separate.
OLAF (CONT'D) AND FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS TO SOLID WATER / WHEN IT GETS WARM.
Snickers.
-Olaf tumbles on a sandy beach with sand-snowmen.
OLAF (CONT'D) AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE / WHAT MY BUDDIES ALL THINK OF ME / JUST IMAGINE HOW MUCH COOLER I'LL BE IN SUMMER . . !
-Olaf and the seagull break out into a tap-dance.
OLAF (CONT'D) DA DA . . . DA DOO / AH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BOO.
-Olaf and another snowman drink hot chocolate in a hot tub.
OLAF (CONT'D) THE HOT AND THE COLD ARE BOTH SO INTENSE / PUT `EM TOGETHER, IT JUST MAKES SENSE!
-Olaf tap dances with a gaggle of seagulls.
OLAF (CONT'D) RATDADAT DAD DADA DOO . . .
-Olaf bounds down a grassy hill.
OLAF (CONT'D) WINTER'S A GOOD TIME TO STAY IN AND CUDDLE / BUT PUT ME IN SUMMER AND I'LL BE A...
He stops at a puddle, looks down at it. Smiles. Hops over it
OLAF (CONT'D) HAPPY SNOWMAN!
Jack and Hiccup can't hold it any longer and crack up laughing. That is until Elsa freezes their lips together in irritation.
Jack gives her the puppy look but she rolls her eyes and watches the movie.
-Olaf runs with a checkered blanket that he spreads out. He
relaxes and stares at the blue sky.
OLAF (CONT'D) WHEN LIFE GETS ROUGH I LIKE TO HOLD ON TO MY DREAM / OF RELAXING IN THE SUMMER SUN JUST LETTING OFF STEAM!
Sven, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf have a picnic.
OLAF (CONT'D) OH THE SKY WILL BE BLUE / AND YOU GUYS'LL BE THERE TOO / WHEN I FINALLY DO WHAT FROZEN THINGS DO IN SUMMER!
KRISTOFF I'm gonna tell him.
ANNA Don't you dare.
Kristoff snickers, (Jack also as much as he can behind his stuck lips).
OLAF IN SUMMER!
Olaf sings the final note. We swing around him and return to:
REALITY. He then straightens up and smiles.
OLAF (CONT'D) So, come on! Elsa's this way. Let's
go bring back summer!
Olaf grabs Anna's hand and pulls her along up the mountain.
ANNA (laughing)
I'm coming!
Sven hops along, happily following them. Kristoff watches all
of them like they're nuts.
KRISTOFF Somebody's got to tell him.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. ARENDELLE, VILLAGE - DAY
A layer of solid ice coats everything. People huddle around
weak fires. Anxiety runs high amongst the villagers and
guests. We pass two CITIZENS fighting over a woodpile.
CITIZEN ONE No. No. You've got the bark facing
down. The bark needs to be face-up.
CITIZEN TWO Bark down is drier.
CITIZEN ONE Bark up.
CITIZEN TWO Bark down.
CITIZEN ONE Bark up.
Like a light in the dark, Hans moves through the crowd.
HANS Cloak. Does anyone need a cloak?
GERDA Arendelle is indebted to you, Your
Highness.
HANS The castle is open. There's soup
and hot glögg in the Great Hall.
Elsa whispers, "at least he did my people well."
Jack mumbles something not understandable back. She sighs and melts the ice off the two's lips.
"Yes that is true but for how long?"
He hands the stack of cloaks to a guard.
HANS (CONT'D) Here. Pass these out.
Just then the Duke approaches Hans.
DUKE Prince Hans, are we just expected
to sit here and freeze while you
give away all of Arendelle's
tradable goods?
Glares almost cut through the screen.
HANS (tall and confident)
Princess Anna has given her orders
and-
DUKE And that's another thing; has it
dawned on you that your princess
may be conspiring with a wicked
sorceress to destroy us all?
Hans's nice eyes turn to threatening slits.
HANS Do not question the Princess. She
left me in charge, and I will not
hesitate to protect Arendelle from
treason.
Anna does as little happy dance that the bad guy does have small amounts of good.
DUKE (flabbergasted, offended)
Treason?!
Suddenly they hear the alarmed whinny of Anna's horse. It
returns alone, bucking and kicking. Hans grabs its reins.
HANS Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, boy. Easy. Easy.
CROWD (various)
Princess Anna's horse. What
happened to her? Where is she?
Hans steadies the horse, looks up at the mountain. He sees
all the panicked faces of the kingdom looking to him.
HANS ...Princess Anna is in trouble.
(calling out)
I need volunteers to go with me to
find her!
Volunteers, some from Arendelle, some from other lands, rush
up to offer their services.
Anna blushes.
DUKE I volunteer two men, my Lord!
(quietly to his thugs)
Be prepared for anything, and
should you encounter the Queen, you
are to put an end to this winter.
Do you understand?
Jack's lip curls, and his eyes turn deadly.
His two thugs sneer.
