I went to the theaters Thanksgiving day (Thursday) with a friend to see Coco with the Frozen short Olaf's Frozen Adventure. I absolutely loved the movie! It was so touching and beautifully done. Olaf's Frozen Adventure was amazing. It was the first new Frozen content I had seen since Frozen Fever in 2015. You guys should really see it! The short contained a lot of Elsa and Anna's past and their secret traditions, and there was a scene when a cute young Elsa rang the Yule Bell and waved to the crowd and my heart was like SQUEEEEE! I'm not going to spoil it but you know what movie to see next time you go to the theaters;)
Summary: Elsa blesses the marriage of Hans and Anna and Hans continues to carry on his original evil plot.
The giggly newly engaged couple skittered nervously down the newly swept marble stone walkway leading to the ballroom of the castle, illuminated by the hanging lights and the silver moonlight. The volume of chatter and music of the castle increased as the princess of Arendelle and the prince of the Southern Isles approached, arms entwined and faces glowing with happiness. The princess's full green coronation gown and the prince's sharp cream suit and shiny black boots caught the light of the castle as they strode gallantly into the entryway decorated with hanging flowering vines and flaming torches, smiling broadly at their secret.
"I'll tell Elsa first. She deserves to know." Anna told Hans, looking left and right for the new queen as the warm atmosphere of Elsa's coronation party enveloped them into it's mood.
"Oh don't worry, I'll come along!" Hans replied, then grabbed her hand and squeezed it with a content look. "I'm sure Queen Elsa will be overjoyed."
"She will." Anna grinned confidently, then giggled. "Our wedding will be amazing."
Elsa was easily spotted with her especially pale blonde bun and her long, regal magenta cape. She was engaging in conversation with some important looking dignitaries. "Oh, there she is!" Anna squealed, hitching up her skirt to approach the queen. "Elsa, Elsa!" Her teal eyes were shining.
Hans laughed a bit to himself. Anna still called to her sister like she was just a child.
Anna tripped to a stop in front of her sister, stumbling over her long skirt. "Elsa, I mean queen. Queen Elsa." She suddenly curtsied and blushed. Reaching for Hans's arm, she pulled him over. "May I present- Prince Hans of the Southern Isles!" She hugged Hans in her arms and he returned the gesture. The dignitaries politely excused themselves and headed off. "We'd like-" they said together and giggled.
"Your blessing-" Anna continued.
"Of our marriage!" Hans finished.
"Wait, what?" Elsa wrinkled her nose, looking back and forth from Anna to Hans.
"We want to get married Elsa! Hans proposed to me earlier." Anna explained. "He's the nicest man alive." She fluttered her eyelashes dreamily at the prince, who fluttered his back. "We'll invite all your brothers to sleep over, have an ice cream cake-"
"Anna, you can't marry a man you can't met!" Elsa cut in, frowning.
"Yes you can! If it's true love!" Anna retorted, getting angry at her sister's seemingly ignorant refusal.
"How much do you know about true love?" Elsa asked her bitterly.
"Your majesty-" Hans interrupted, holding up a gloved hand.
"May I speak with Anna, alone?" Elsa set a cold stare at Hans, who shrank a bit at her gaze.
"Whatever you have to say to me, you can say to both of us." Anna argued, but Hans laid a hand on her arm. "You should talk to her, I'll wait here. Please." He gave Anna a serious look.
Rolling her eyes, Anna stepped over to Elsa. Hans respectfully stepped back and pretended to be interested in the chocolate fondue pot.
"What Elsa?" Anna asked, looking concerned and a bit irritated.
Looking at her sister's pleading face, Elsa considered her words as her angry mood melted to compassion. Why didn't Anna deserve happiness? For all her life she had been locked in the castle for all her childhood because of Elsa without the opportunity to experience romance or friendship like every other young woman did. She took a deep breath, and instead of ratting her sister out for getting engaged on the first day of meeting someone, said otherwise.
"Are you sure you want to marry him?" She asked softly.
"Yes! I love him." Anna pleaded her.
"Anna, you know what you're getting yourself into, right? Marriage is permanent. Once you agree to it, you can't leave him- ever." Elsa informed her.
Anna bit her lower lip and smoothed her gown, than nodded. "We have so much in common, I agree. I do love him."
"You'll have to move with him to the Southern Isles. You'll have to serve his every need." Elsa added.
"No, he agreed we're both staying right here." Anna crossed her arms. "Here in Arendelle, he'll be my prince consort and bring me chocolate every morning." She giggled a bit at the end.
Elsa looked at her sister sadly. She hated to give her sister away like this. But she had made so many horrible decisions in her life with only herself in mind she wanted to be selfless for once. "All right."
Anna laughed, overjoyed before attempting to throw herself on Elsa for a huge hug. Elsa fearfully sidestepped her, causing Anna to stumble and fall flat on her face. The queen giggled behind her gloved hand and Anna glared at her before picking herself up.
"Hans!" Elsa called, latching her hands behind her back. The prince hurried back over and Anna popped to her feet, grabbing his hand. "Elsa agreed!"
The queen closed her eyes and took a breath before facing the couple again. "All right. Prince Hans and Princess Anna, I give you my blessing of marriage."
"Yes! Oh yes!" Anna squealed, hugging Hans and laughing. "I love you Hans!"
Hans smiled and turned to Elsa. "I am very honored." He managed out before Anna yanked him off to jig with her with the band's cheerful song.
