At a recent Frozen 2 press day, the film’s creators posed an interesting idea to journalists: What if Elsa, the franchise’s ostensible hero, is a mythic hero rather than a fairy tale hero? She’s isolated and tortured by something she can’t understand, after all—a trait that’s entirely unfamiliar to her sister, Anna, who’s more of a true blue “fire in the belly” type Disney hero. If Elsa is a mythic hero, though, does that mean she might be doomed to meet a mythic ending, rather than find her fairy tale happily ever after? And wouldn’t that make millions upon millions of little kids burst into tears?
