Frozen II Teaser Trailer Drops With Fairy Tale Vibes In Full Force

Confession: we have not been keeping close tabs on Frozen II's development. With the Frozen shorts being underwhelming (despite lots of artistic effort evident behind the scenes), we haven't held out much hope for a film for which the biggest hype seems to be "Will Elsa get a girlfriend?", rather than actual story* or any fairy tale associated content (as opposed to just fantasy).

Enter today's teaser release, full of fairy tale feels and allusions. You have our attention again now Disney!

Check it out:

See what we mean?

Have to mention that we are quite tickled that the internet is including this speculation about the two new characters below:

"What if these two are supposed to be Gerda and Kai from the original Snow Queen story?!"

Heh. We would be delighted - but surprised - if they were.

What we'd really like to see is the Little Robber Girl (from Andersen's original story - who, by the way, is representative of the Land of Autumn/Fall in Andersen's multi-part fairy tale) making an entrance. Apart from being a favorite character from The Snow Queen, the Robber Girl would be an interesting character to (eventually) explore for a potential Elsa-love-interest, though please note, in this teaser the new girl character is still a child. Check the original text describing her and you'll see that potential as one way to interpret her.

In the meantime, what do you think of the trailer? Does it capture your fairy tale radar's attention?

We'll remain tuned as updates from Frozen II continue in the remaining nine month countdown till it hits theaters in November...

A new snowflake design with different symbols - lots for fans to speculate over

*Now if someone mentioned 'Frozen II' was doing a take on 'The Girl Who Pretended to be a Boy', then you'd have our attention!
