- The workers pile onto the giant horse-drawn ice sled as it
- pulls away.
- Left behind, Kristoff and Sven push their ice block onto a
- dinky little sled then head off.
- We sweep up from them to the Northern Lights filling the
- sky...then move across the mountains...beneath the
- snowline...and descend upon...
- EXT. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE -- NIGHT
- A humble castle, built of wood, nestled in a deep fjord.
- INT. CASTLE, NURSERY -- NIGHT
- ELSA (8) sleeps in her bed. Her little sister ANNA (5) pops
- up beside her.
- YOUNG ANNA
- Elsa. Psst. Elsa! Psst.
- Elsa doesn't stir. Anna sits on Elsa and bounces.
- YOUNG ANNA (CONT'D)
- Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
- YOUNG ELSA
- (grumbling)
- Anna, go back to sleep.
- Anna rolls onto her back and spreads all her weight on Elsa.

- FROZEN - J. Lee
- YOUNG ANNA
- (drama queen-ish)
- I just can't. The sky's awake, so
- I'm awake, so we have to play.
- YOUNG ELSA
- ...Go play by yourself.
- Elsa shoves Anna off the bed.
- Anna lands butt to floor, sighs, defeated. But then she gets
- an idea. She hops back on the bed and lifts one of Elsa's
- eyelids.
- YOUNG ANNA
- (mischievously)
- Do you want to build a snowman?
- Elsa's eyes both pop open. She smiles.
- INT. CASTLE STAIRCASE -- NIGHT

- INT. BALLROOM -- NIGHT
- The girls sneak into the ballroom. Elsa shuts the door.
- YOUNG ANNA
- Do the magic! Do the magic!
- Elsa laughs and waves her hands together. Snowflakes suddenly
- burst forth and dance between her palms, forming a snowball.
- Elsa throws the snowball high into the air. Snow bursts out
- and flurries around the room. Anna dances about, catching
- flakes in her palms and mouth.
- YOUNG ANNA (CONT'D)
- This is amazing!
- YOUNG ELSA
- Watch this!
- Elsa stomps her little slippered foot and a layer of ice
- suddenly coats the floor, forming a giant ice rink. Anna
- slides off, laughing.

- FROZEN - J. Lee
- PLAY MONTAGE:
- -Anna and Elsa roll giant snowballs and build a snowman
- together. Elsa moves his stick arms around.
- YOUNG ELSA (CONT'D)
- (goofy voice)
- Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs.
- Anna jumps up and hugs him.
- YOUNG ANNA
- I love you, Olaf.
- -Anna and Olaf appear to be dancing. REVEAL: Elsa is actually
- propelling them across the ice floor with her magic.
- -The girls slide down snowbanks together!
- -Anna fearlessly jumps off a snow peak into mid air.
- YOUNG ANNA (CONT'D)
- Catch me!
- Elsa makes another peak to catch Anna.
- YOUNG ELSA
- Gotcha!
- Anna keeps jumping. Elsa keeps casting magic.
- YOUNG ANNA
- (jumping faster)
- Again! Again!
- YOUNG ELSA
- (struggling to keep up)
- Slow down!
- Elsa suddenly slips.
- Her magic accidentally STRIKES Anna in the head. Anna tumbles
- down a snowbank and lands, unconscious.
- YOUNG ELSA (CONT'D)
- ANNA!
- Elsa runs to Anna and takes her in her arms. A streak of
- Anna's hair, where struck, turns white.
- YOUNG ELSA (CONT'D)
- MAMA! PAPA!
- The room around them fills with frightening ice spikes.
- 5
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- The parents burst through the frozen door. GASP at the sight
- of the room.
- KING
- Elsa, what have you done? This is
- getting out of hand!
- QUEEN
- (seeing Anna)
- Anna!
- The King and Queen rush to Anna and take her in their arms.
- ELSA
- It was an accident. I'm sorry,
- Anna.
- QUEEN
- (about Anna)
- She's ice cold.
- KING
- ...I know where we have to go.
- SLAM CUT TO:
- INT. DARK ROOM -- NIGHT
- The King sifts through a shelf to find an ancient book
- inscribed with Old Norse runes. He opens the book, scrambles
- to a page with an ancient map.
- EXT. ARENDELLE -- NIGHT
- Carrying the girls, the King and Queen ride their horses out
- of the kingdom. Snow streams from Elsa's hands, leaving a
- trail of ice behind them.
- EXT. FJORD MOUNTAIN FOREST -- NIGHT
- A sleepy Kristoff and Sven travel alone through the dark
- woods. All of a sudden, the King and Queen race by with the
- girls, leaving the wake of ice.
- KRISTOFF
- Ice?
- SLAM CUT TO:
- 6
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- EXT. BLACK MOUNTAINS -- NIGHT
- Kristoff rides Sven as they follow the trail of ice.
- YOUNG KRISTOFF
- Faster, Sven!
- EXT. THE VALLEY OF THE LIVING ROCK -- NIGHT
- Kristoff hops off Sven at the edge of a deep valley. They
- hide behind a rock and peek out.
- Down below, the King holds a frightened Elsa. The Queen holds
- the still unconscious Anna.
- KING
- Please, help. My daughter!
- Suddenly, a bunch of rocks tumble down the valley toward
- them. It looks as though they'll be crushed!
- But, luckily, the rocks stop at their feet. The rocks then
- unfold, revealing bright faces.
- YOUNG KRISTOFF
- Trolls...?
- The rock in front of Kristoff "wakes up." Meet BULDA.
- BULDA
- Shush. I'm trying to listen.
- She grabs Kristoff and Sven by hand and hoof and hugs them
- close. Sven licks her face and she eyes them both.
- BULDA (CONT'D)
- Cuties. I'm gonna keep you.
- Back below, the crowd parts for a troll as old as the Earth.
- They call him GRAND PABBIE. He approaches arthritically, but
- determined. He nods respectfully to the king.
- GRAND PABBIE
- Your Majesty.
- (referring to Elsa)
- Born with the powers or cursed?
- KING
- Born. And they're getting stronger.
- Grand Pabbie motions for the Queen to bring Anna to him. She
- does. He examines her.
- 7
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- GRAND PABBIE
- (about Anna)
- You are lucky it wasn't her heart.
- The heart is not so easily changed,
- but the head can be persuaded.
- KING
- Do what you must.
- GRAND PABBIE
- I recommend we remove all magic,
- even memories of magic to be
- safe.... But don't worry, I'll
- leave the fun.
- Grand Pabbie pulls out a glowing blue energy from Anna's
- head. We see her memories floating right above her. Grand
- Pabbie changes all of her magical memories to ordinary
- memories -- snowy play indoors with the girls in their
- nightgowns changes to outdoors on the winter fjords with the
- girls in winter gear. He puts the ordinary memories back in
- her head.
- GRAND PABBIE (CONT'D)
- She will be okay.
- YOUNG ELSA
- But she won't remember I have
- powers?
- KING
- It's for the best.
- PABBIE
- Listen to me, Elsa, your power will
- only grow.
- As he speaks, he conducts the Northern Lights to show a
- silhouette of an adult Elsa creating magical snowflakes.
- PABBIE (CONT'D)
- There is beauty in your magic....
- But also great danger.
- The snowflakes turn to sharp spikes.
- PABBIE (O.S.) (CONT'D)
- You must learn to control it.
- In the Northern Lights display, the sharp spikes cause human
- figures to panic and attack Elsa.
- PABBIE (CONT'D)
- Fear will be your enemy.
- 8
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Elsa gasps and buries her face in the King's chest. The King
- wraps his arms around Elsa, protectively.
- KING
- No. We'll protect her. She can
- learn to control it. I'm sure.
- Over the King's words we...
- DISSOLVE TO:
- -The Arendelle castle gates shutting.
- KING (O.S.) (CONT'D)
- Until then, we'll lock the gates.
- We'll reduce the staff. We will
- limit her contact with people and
- keep her powers hidden from
- everyone... including Anna.
- -The castle shutters close.
- -Anna sits on her bed as Elsa's furniture disappears.
- -Anna rushes to the hall to see Elsa shut the door to her new
- room. Anna watches, confused and sad.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- INT. CASTLE WINDOW -- DAY
- We look out on a gentle snowfall. Little Anna skips up to the
- window. She lights up at the sight of the snow and rushes
- down the hall.
- INT. HALLWAY, ELSA'S DOOR -- DAY
- Anna knocks on Elsa's door and SINGS.
- "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?"
- YOUNG ANNA
- DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?
- COME ON LET'S GO AND PLAY.
- Anna peeks under the door.
- YOUNG ANNA (CONT'D)
- I NEVER SEE YOU ANYMORE.
- COME OUT THE DOOR.
- IT'S LIKE YOU'VE GONE AWAY.
- 9
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- -INT. ANNA'S ROOM -- Anna plays with two dolls, gives up, sad.
- YOUNG ANNA (CONT'D)
- WE USED TO BE BEST BUDDIES
- AND NOW WE'RE NOT.
- I WISH YOU WOULD TELL ME WHY.
- -ELSA'S DOOR. Anna peeks through the key hole.
- YOUNG ANNA (CONT'D)
- DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?
- -Anna calls through the keyhole.
- YOUNG ANNA (CONT'D)
- IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A SNOWMAN.
- YOUNG ELSA (O.S.)
- Go away, Anna.
- YOUNG ANNA
- (hearbroken)
- ...OKAY BYE.
- -BEHIND THE DOOR -- DAY. Elsa sits at the window looking out,
- longingly. Suddenly, her icy hands freeze the windowsill.
- -LATER. The King slips leather gloves onto Elsa's hands.
- KING
- The gloves will help.
- He pats her gloved hand.
- KING (CONT'D)
- See? You're good....
- (starting their mantra)
- Conceal it.
- YOUNG ELSA
- Don't feel it.
- YOUNG ELSA & KING
- Don't let it show.
- -INT. HALLWAY, ELSA'S DOOR -- DAY. Anna, now 9, knocks on
- Elsa's door.
- ANNA (9)
- DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?
- -INT. HALLWAY -- DAY. Alone, Anna rides a bicycle built for
- two in the hall by standing on the back seat.
- 10
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA (9) (CONT'D)
- OR RIDE OUR BIKE AROUND THE HALL?
- I THINK SOME COMPANY IS OVERDUE...
- -INT. PORTRAIT ROOM -- DAY. Anna runs around the portrait
- room, gaining momentum to flip over the arm of the couch.
- ANNA (9) (CONT'D)
- I'VE STARTED TALKING TO
- THE PICTURES ON THE WALLS.
- Anna lands PLOP on the cushions, then looks up at the
- painting above her of the courageous Joan of Arc.
- ANNA (9) (CONT'D)
- Hang in there, Joan.
- -INT. EMPTY LIBRARY -- DAY. Looks like no one's around.
- ANNA (9) (CONT'D)
- IT GETS A LITTLE LONELY
- ALL THESE EMPTY ROOMS.
- But then we find Anna, laying at the base of the grandfather
- clock, playing with her braids, bored out of her mind.
- ANNA (9) (CONT'D)
- JUST WATCHING THE HOURS TICK BY.
- Anna's eyes follow the grandfather clock's pendulum.
- ANNA (9) (CONT'D)
- TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK.
- -INT. ELSA'S ROOM -- NIGHT. Elsa (now 12) paces as she panics.
- The entire wall is frozen behind her.
- ELSA (12)
- I'm scared. It's getting stronger.
- KING
- Getting upset only makes it worse.
- The King goes to hug her.
- ELSA (12)
- No. Don't touch me. I don't want to
- hurt you.
- He and the Queen look at each other with alarmed sadness.
- -INT. LIBRARY -- DAY. Anna, now a teenager, slides past Elsa's
- room without stopping.
- 11
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- -INT. KING AND QUEEN'S QUARTERS -- DAY. Anna runs into the
- room and throws herself into her parents' arms.
- TEEN ANNA
- See you in two weeks.
- -INT. ELSA'S ROOM -- DAY. Elsa curtsies in front of her
- parents, formally, not touching them.
- TEEN ELSA
- Do you have to go?
- KING
- You'll be fine, Elsa.
- -EXT. DOCKS -- DAY. The King and Queen leave on a ship.
- -EXT. ROUGH SEAS -- NIGHT. Lightning flashes. The sea rages in
- a storm. The King and Queen's ship is lost in the waves.
- -INT. CASTLE -- DAY. A portrait of the King and Queen is
- covered in mourning cloth.
- -EXT. CEMETERY -- DAY. Anna looks small, standing before her
- people, beside burial stones.
- -INT. HALLWAY, ELSA'S DOOR. Anna, still in her mourning
- clothes, approaches and knocks.
- ANNA
- (singing)
- Elsa? PLEASE I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE
- PEOPLE ARE ASKING WHERE YOU'VE BEEN
- THEY SAY HAVE COURAGE
- AND I'M TRYING TO
- I'M RIGHT OUT HERE FOR YOU.
- PLEASE LET ME IN.
- Anna slides down the door and sits with her head against it.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER.
- IT'S JUST YOU AND ME.
- WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
- (weak, internal)
- DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?
- We move through the door...
- -INT. ELSA'S ROOM -- DAY. Elsa is sitting in the exact same
- pose as Anna. Her bedroom is frozen with ice. Snowflakes hang
- in the air, suspended by grief.
- FADE OUT.
- 12
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- EXT. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE -- MORNING
- A new dawn rises over the fjords.
- Ships pull up to the docks. Guests pile out.
- DOCK MASTER
- Welcome to Arendelle!
- A BOY tries to get away as his MOTHER tries to stuff him in
- his bunad jacket.
- BOY
- Why do I have to wear this?
- MOTHER
- Because the Queen has come of age.
- It's Coronation Day!
- BOY
- That's not my fault.
- They pass the May Pole being raised and a Sami ice harvester
- chatting with his reindeer. We recognize them as Kristoff and
- Sven, all grown up. Sven hops around excitedly like a dog and
- nuzzles Kristoff's chest.
- KRISTOFF
- What do you want, Sven?
- Kristoff leans in and speaks for Sven, as if he can.
- KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT'D)
- Give me a snack.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- What's the magic word?
- KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT'D)
- Please!
- Kristoff pulls a carrot out of his shirt pocket and hands it
- to Sven. Sven tries to bite the whole thing.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Hey, hey, hey! Share!
- Sven takes a smaller bite. Kristoff then has a bite himself,
- not seeming to care that it's covered in reindeer slobber.
- We move on to PERSI and AGGIE, a super-excited couple who
- rush towards the castle.
- 13
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- PERSI
- I can't believe they're finally
- opening up the gates!
- AGGIE
- And for a whole day! Faster, Persi!
- They pass a tiny but menacing DUKE, who wears taps on his
- shoes to "enhance" his presence. Two THUG guards follow close
- behind him.
- DUKE
- Ah, Arendelle, our most mysterious
- trade partner. Open those gates so
- I may unlock your secrets and
- exploit your riches.
- (catching himself)
- ...Did I just say that out loud?
- We leave him and head down the bridge towards the castle
- gates, passing an Irishman and a Spanish Dignitary.
- IRISHMAN
- Oh, me sore eyes can't wait to see
- the Queen and the Princess. I bet
- they're absolutely lovely.
- SPANISH DIGNITARY
- I bet they are beautiful.
- We move past them, to a particular castle window.
- CUT TO:
- INT. CASTLE, ANNA'S BEDROOM -- DAY
- Anna, 18, snores. Drools. KNOCK. KNOCK.
- KAI (O.S.)
- Princess Anna...?
- Anna sits up. She's got major bedhead. She coughs. Snorts.
- Pulls a hair from her mouth.
- ANNA
- ...Huh? Yeah?
- KAI (O.S.)
- Sorry to wake you, ma'am but--
- ANNA
- No, you didn't. I've been up for
- hours.
- 14
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- She falls back asleep while sitting. She snores. Her head
- drops, startling her awake.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Who is it?
- KAI (O.S.)
- It's still me, ma'am. Time to get
- ready.
- ANNA
- Ready for what?
- KAI (O.S.)
- Your sister's coronation, ma'am.
- ANNA
- My sister's cor-neration...
- One eye opens enough to catch sight of her coronation dress.
- She bolts, wide awake in excitement.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Coronation Day! Ha ha!
- SLAM CUT TO:
- EXT. CASTLE HALL -- DAY
- Anna bursts out of her room, wearing her coronation dress.
- She finishes pinning ribbons in her hair. Seeing the hustle
- and bustle of preparations, she can't help but SING.
- "For the First Time in Forever"
- ANNA
- THE WINDOW IS OPEN!
- SO'S THAT DOOR!
- I DIDN'T KNOW THEY DID THAT ANYMORE.
- WHO KNEW WE OWNED 8000 SALAD PLATES...?
- -Anna slides along the floor of the ballroom in her socks.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- FOR YEARS I HAVE ROAMED THESE EMPTY HALLS
- WHY HAVE A BALLROOM WITH NO BALLS?
- FINALLY, THEY'RE OPENING UP THE GATES!
- -She shakes hands with a suit of armor. Breaks it. Hides the
- evidence.
- 15
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- THERE'LL BE REAL, ACTUAL PEOPLE -
- IT'LL BE TOTALLY STRANGE.
- BUT WOW AM I SO READY FOR THIS CHANGE!
- -Anna comes to a window and jumps out onto a window washer's
- pulley. She raises herself up to see the ships arriving.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
- THERE'LL BE MUSIC, THERE'LL BE LIGHT.
- FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
- I'LL BE DANCING THROUGH THE NIGHT.
- -Anna walks through the garden and follows a family of geese.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- DON'T KNOW IF I'M ELATED OR GASSY,
- BUT I'M SOMEWHERE IN THAT ZONE
- 'CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
- I WON'T BE ALONE.
- (speaking)
- I can't wait to meet everyone....
- (GASP) What if I meet THE ONE?
- -Anna twists herself in a velvet drape like it's a gown. She
- acts like she looks gorgeous, but she looks ridiculous.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- TONIGHT, IMAGINE ME GOWN AND ALL-
- FETCHINGLY DRAPED AGAINST THE WALL.
- THE PICTURE OF SOPHISTICATED GRACE.
- -She notices the bust of a man across the room.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- (google-eyed)
- I SUDDENLY SEE HIM STANDING THERE,
- A BEAUTIFUL STRANGER TALL AND FAIR.
- (mouth full of chocolate)
- I WANNA STUFF SOME CHOCOLATE IN MY
- FACE!
- -She grabs the bust of the man and swings it around.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- BUT THEN WE LAUGH AND TALK ALL EVENING,
- WHICH IS TOTALLY BIZARRE.
- NOTHING LIKE THE LIFE I'VE LED SO FAR.
- The bust goes flying and lands on the top of the cake.
- -Anna bursts into the portrait room, bounces on the
- furniture, and interacts with the paintings.
- 16
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
- THERE'LL BE MAGIC, THERE'LL BE FUN.
- FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
- I COULD BE NOTICED BY SOMEONE.
- AND I KNOW IT IS TOTALLY CRAZY
- TO DREAM I'D FIND ROMANCE.
- BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
- AT LEAST I'VE GOT A CHANCE!
- -INT. LIBRARY. ELSA, now a very poised 21, watches out the
- window as the coronation guests arrive.
- ELSA
- DON'T LET THEM IN.
- DON'T LET THEM SEE.
- BE THE GOOD GIRL
- YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE.
- Elsa moves to a painting of her father's coronation. She
- takes off her gloves and mimics the painting by holding a
- candlestick and ornament in place of an orb and scepter.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL.
- PUT ON A SHOW.
- MAKE ONE WRONG MOVE
- AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW.
- The candlestick and ornament ice over. Elsa gasps, slams them
- back down onto the table. She tries to reassure herself.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- BUT IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY.
- We cut between Anna's excitement and Elsa's nerves.
- ANNA
- IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY!
- ELSA
- IT'S AGONY TO WAIT.
- ANNA
- IT'S AGONY TO WAIT!!!
- ELSA
- TELL THE GUARDS TO OPEN UP THE GATE.
- ANNA
- THE GATE!!!
- -Finally, the gates are open! Anna moves through the crowd,
- admiring the people around her.
- 17
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA (CONT'D) ELSA
- FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DON'T LET THEM IN
- FOREVER. DON'T LET THEM SEE
- ANNA ELSA
- I'M GETTING WHAT I'M DREAMING BE THE GOOD GIRL
- OF YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE
- ANNA ELSA
- A CHANCE TO LEAVE MY SISTER'S CONCEAL.
- WORLD CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL.
- A CHANCE TO FIND TRUE LOVE DON'T LET THEM KNOW.
- -Anna hurries over the bridge and into the village square.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- I KNOW IT ALL ENDS TOMORROW,
- SO IT HAS TO BE TODAY!!
- `CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
- FOREVER. . .
- FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER!
- NOTHING'S IN MY WAY!!!
- -Anna SLAMS right into the breast of a HORSE!
- She falls back and lands in a small wooden boat. It tips off
- of the dock. She's heading overboard. But just then, the
- horse slams his hoof into the boat and steadies it.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- (frustrated)
- Hey!
- HANS
- I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?
- The rider, HANS, sure is handsome and regal.
- ANNA
- (gentler)
- Hey. I-ya, no. No. I'm okay.
- HANS
- Are you sure?
- ANNA
- Yeah, I just wasn't looking where I
- was going. But I'm okay.
- He hops down from his horse and steps into the boat.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- I'm great, actually.
- 18
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- HANS
- Oh, thank goodness.
- He offers her a hand and their eyes meet. Chemistry. He helps
- her to her feet.
- HANS (CONT'D)
- (bowing)
- Prince Hans of the Southern Isles.
- ANNA
- (curtseying)
- Princess Anna of Arendelle.
- HANS
- Princess...? My Lady.
- He drops to his knees, head bowed. The horse bows too,
- curling his hoof up and out of the boat.
- The boat tips. Hans tumbles on top of Anna. Awkward.
- ANNA
- Hi...again.
- The horse slams his foot back into the boat to stabilize it.
- Anna and Hans tumble the other way. Anna lands on top of him.
- HANS
- Oh boy.
- ANNA
- Ha. This is awkward. Not you're
- awkward, but just because we're--
- I'm awkward. You're gorgeous.
- (did she just say that?)
- Wait, what?
- Hans quickly gets to his feet and helps Anna up again.
- HANS
- I'd like to formally apologize for
- hitting the Princess of Arendelle
- with my horse...and for every
- moment after.
- ANNA
- No. No-no. It's fine. I'm not THAT
- Princess. I mean, if you'd hit my
- sister Elsa, that would be-- yeash!
- `Cuz, you know...
- (patting the horse)
- Hello.
- (MORE)
- 19
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- (to Hans)
- But, lucky you, it's-it's just me.
- HANS
- Just you?
- Hans smiles, amused. She smiles back. The bells RING. She
- doesn't notice at first; she's too busy drinking in Hans's
- handsomeness.
- ANNA
- ...The bells. The coronation. I-I-I
- better go. I have to...I better go.
- She hurries off, stops, turns back. Gives Hans a little wave.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Bye!
- As she rushes off again, Hans waves back. The horse waves
- too, once again taking his hoof out of the boat.
- HANS
- Oh no.
- The boat falls, with Hans in it. SPLASH! It lands upside down
- in the water. Hans raises it up off of him, gasping for air.
- CUT TO:
- INT. CHURCH CHAPEL -- DAY
- Elsa stands at the alter. Anna stands off to one side. She
- peeks out to the audience.
- Hans waves at her from the pews. He's changed his clothes.
- The crown is placed on Elsa's head. The scepter and orb are
- presented to Elsa on a pillow. She slowly reaches for them.
- BISHOP
- (a whisper)
- Your Majesty, the gloves.
- Elsa hesitates. She breathes nervously, removes her gloves,
- places them on the pillow. Her hands shake. She takes the orb
- and scepter, then turns to the people.
- BISHOP (CONT'D)
- (formal, in Old Norse)
- Sehm hon HELL-drr IN-um HELL-gum

- FROZEN - J. Lee
- The scepter and orb start to freeze over.
- BISHOP (CONT'D)
- ...Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
- CROWD
- Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
- Just in time. Elsa manages to set the orb and scepter back
- down on the pillow before anyone notices the ice. She picks
- up her gloves and slips them on. She made it.
- CUT TO:
- INT. GREAT HALL -- NIGHT
- Springy music fills the Great Hall. Guests dance. Eat. Laugh.
- TRUMPETS SOUND.
- KAI
- (announcing)
- Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
- Elsa enters, poised and looking surprisingly content. She
- stands under a formal awning.
- KAI (CONT'D)
- Princess Anna of Arendelle!
- Anna runs into the room, waves awkwardly. Kai ushers her over
- to stand right next to Elsa.
- ANNA
- Here? Are you sure?
- She and Elsa sneak awkward peeks at each other.
- ELSA
- ...Hi.
- ANNA
- Hi me...? Oh. Um. Hi.
- ELSA
- ...You look beautiful.
- ANNA
- Thank you. You look beautifuller. I
- mean, not fuller. You don't look
- fuller, but more beautiful.
- 21
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ELSA
- Thank you.
- They look out at the celebration.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- So, this is what a party looks
- like?
- ANNA
- It's warmer than I thought.
- ELSA
- And what is that amazing smell?
- They both close their eyes and inhale.
- ANNA AND ELSA (TOGETHER)
- ...Chocolate.
- Their eyes pop open. They laugh.
- Elsa looks back out at the party. Anna looks at Elsa. She
- wants to say so much, but she can't think of where to start.
- Just as she finds her way, Kai interrupts.
- KAI
- Your Majesty. The Duke of
- Weaseltown.
- DUKE
- Weselton. The Duke of Weselton.
- (to Elsa)
- Your Majesty, as your closest
- partner in trade, it seems only
- fitting that I offer you your first
- dance as queen.
- The Duke does a funny flitter of his feet, a hitch-kick, and
- a deep bow.
- DUKE (CONT'D)
- (whispers to himself)
- One, two, three. Jump.
- As he holds out his hand, head down, his toupee dips forward.
- Anna giggles. Elsa looks at Anna, stifles a giggle herself.
- ELSA
- (to the Duke)
- Thank you...only I don't dance.
- 22
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- DUKE
- (offended)
- Oh...?
- ELSA
- But my sister does.
- ANNA
- What?
- DUKE
- Lucky you....
- ANNA
- Oh, I don't think--
- The Duke grabs Anna's arm and yanks her away before she can
- protest.
- DUKE
- If you swoon, let me know, I'll
- catch you.
- Anna looks back at Elsa, desperately.
- ELSA
- Sorry.
- OUT ON THE DANCE FLOOR: The Duke showboats, but he's just
- awful. Anna tries to make the best of it.
- DUKE
- Like an agile peacock... CLUCK-
- CLUGGLE-CLUCK!
- He lands on her feet.
- ANNA
- Ow. Ow.
- DUKE
- Speaking of, so great to have the
- gates open. Why did they shut them
- in the first place? Do you know the
- reason? Hmm?
- He gets in her face, suspicious.
- ANNA
- ...No.
- 23
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- DUKE
- Oh, all right. Hang on. They don't
- call me the little dipper for
- nothing.
- He dips Anna back. Elsa peeks through the crowd, can barely
- hold in her laughter. Anna shoots Elsa funny, help-me looks.
- DUKE (CONT'D)
- (groove fully on)
- Like a chicken...with the face of a
- monkey...I fly.
- JUMP CUT TO:
- MOMENTS LATER...
- Anna limps back to Elsa.
- DUKE (O.S.)
- Let me know when you're ready for
- another round, M'Lady.
- ELSA
- Well, he was sprightly.
- ANNA
- (rubbing her sore feet)
- Especially for a man in heels.
- ELSA
- Are you okay?
- ANNA
- (loving Elsa's attention)
- I've never been better. This is so
- nice. I wish it could be like this
- all the time.
- ELSA
- (sincere)
- Me too....
- But then Elsa catches herself. She stiffens up, looks away.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- But it can't.
- ANNA
- Why not? If--
- ELSA
- It just can't.
- 24
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Anna's smile drops. She tries not to get emotional.
- ANNA
- Excuse me for a minute.
- She walks away. Elsa watches her go, saddened.
- Moving through the crowd, Anna gets bumped by a bowing man's
- butt. She falls. Just before she hits the floor, Hans catches
- her. He smiles perfectly.
- HANS
- Glad I caught you.
- ANNA
- Hans.
- He smoothly sets his drink down on a passing tray. He lifts
- her up and leads her in a romantic dance.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- LATER: Anna and Hans drink and chat.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- I often had the whole parlor to
- myself to slide... Oops. Sorry.
- She hits him in the face by mistake with her hand. He laughs.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- -THE CASTLE DOORS: Anna and Hans stroll out of the castle.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- ...Your physique helps I'm sure.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- -THE ROSE GARDEN... Hans notices her white streak.
- HANS
- (about her white streak)
- What's this?
- ANNA
- I was born with it, although I
- dreamt I was kissed by a troll.
- HANS
- I like it.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- 25
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- EXT. BALCONY -- NIGHT
- Anna teaches Hans how to eat krumkake.
- ANNA
- Yeah, the whole thing! You got it.
- They laugh as the krumkake crumbles in his face.
- ANNA(CONT'D)
- Okay wait, wait. So you have how
- many brothers?
- HANS
- Twelve older brothers. Three of
- them pretended I was invisible...
- literally...for two years.
- ANNA
- That's horrible.
- HANS
- It's what brothers do.
- ANNA
- ...And sisters. Elsa and I were
- really close when we were little.
- But then, one day she just shut me
- out, and I never knew why.
- He takes her hand. Leans in close.
- HANS
- I would never shut you out.
- ANNA
- Okay, can I just say something
- crazy?
- HANS
- I love crazy.
- "Love is an Open Door"
- ANNA
- (singing)
- ALL MY LIFE HAS BEEN A SERIES OF
- DOORS IN MY FACE.
- AND THEN SUDDENLY I BUMP INTO YOU.
- HANS
- I was thinking the same thing,
- because like. . .
- (MORE)
- 26
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- HANS (CONT'D)
- I'VE BEEN SEARCHING MY WHOLE LIFE
- TO FIND MY OWN PLACE.
- AND MAYBE IT'S THE PARTY TALKING,
- OR THE CHOCOLATE FONDUE.
- ANNA
- BUT WITH YOU-
- HANS
- BUT WITH YOU,
- I FOUND MY PLACE.
- ANNA
- I SEE YOUR FACE.
- BOTH
- AND IT'S NOTHING LIKE I'VE EVER
- KNOWN BEFORE.
- They jump to the neighboring balcony and enter a door.
- They come out on top of one of the castle's towers.
- BOTH (CONT'D)
- LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR!
- LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR!
- Cut to them sliding across an empty hallway in their socks.
- BOTH (CONT'D)
- LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR
- ANNA
- WITH YOU!
- HANS
- WITH YOU!
- ANNA
- WITH YOU!
- HANS
- WITH YOU!
- BOTH
- LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR.
- They hop up on the castle roof and watch a shooting star.
- HANS
- I MEAN IT'S CRAZY.
- ANNA
- What?
- 27
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- HANS
- WE FINISH EACH OTHER'S-
- ANNA
- SANDWICHES!
- HANS
- That's what I was gonna say!
- They slide down the back of the roof out of sight.
- We next find them strutting on a bridge ledge.
- ANNA
- I'VE NEVER MET SOMEONE-
- BOTH
- WHO THINKS SO MUCH LIKE ME.
- BOTH (SPOKEN) (CONT'D)
- Jinx.. . .jinx again.
- Are they doing the robot? No. They're imitating the
- mechanical figures on the clock tower.
- BOTH (CONT'D)
- OUR MENTAL SYNCHRONIZATION
- CAN HAVE BUT ONE EXPLANATION,
- HANS
- YOU-
- ANNA
- AND I-
- HANS
- WERE-
- ANNA
- JUST-
- BOTH
- MEANT TO BE.
- Anna and Hans dance on top of the lighthouse and cast dancing
- shadows across the sails of ships in the docks.
- ANNA
- SAY GOODBYE-
- HANS
- SAY GOODBYE-
- 28
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- BOTH
- TO THE PAIN OF THE PAST.
- BOTH (CONT'D)
- WE DON'T HAVE TO FEEL IT ANYMORE!
- LOVE IS AN OPEN-
- They play hide and seek amongst the stable doors.
- BOTH (CONT'D)
- DOOR! LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR!
- They climb to the waterfall looking out over the kingdom.
- Anna raises up her hands to frame the moon. Hans puts his
- hands on top of hers. Together their hands form a heart.
- BOTH (CONT'D)
- LIFE CAN BE SO MUCH MORE-
- ANNA
- WITH YOU!
- HANS
- WITH YOU!
- ANNA
- WITH YOU!
- HANS
- WITH YOU!
- BOTH
- LOVE IS AN OPEN
- HANS
- DOOR.
- ANNA
- DOOR.
- HANS
- Can I say something crazy...? Will
- you marry me?
- ANNA
- Can I just say something even
- crazier? Yes.
- CUT TO:
- 29
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- INT. BALL -- NIGHT
- Anna pushes through the crowd towards Elsa, Hans in tow.
- ANNA
- Oops! Pardon. Sorry. Can we just
- get around you there? Thank you.
- Oh, there she is. Elsa!
- Elsa turns to Anna. Anna curtseys awkwardly.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- I mean...Queen.... Me again. Um.
- May I present Prince Hans of the
- Southern Isles.
- HANS
- (bowing)
- Your Majesty.
- Elsa gives a polite but reserved curtsey.
- ANNA
- We would like--
- HANS
- --your blessing--
- ANNA
- --of--
- ANNA/HANS
- --our marriage!
- ELSA
- Marriage...?
- ANNA
- Yes!
- ELSA
- I'm sorry, I'm confused.
- ANNA
- Well, we haven't worked out all the
- details ourselves. We'll need a few
- days to plan the ceremony. Of
- course we'll have soup, roast, and
- ice cream and then--
- Wait. Would we live here?
- ELSA
- Here?
- 30
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- HANS
- Absolutely!
- ELSA
- Anna--
- ANNA
- Oh, we can invite all twelve of
- your brothers to stay with us--
- ELSA
- What? No, no, no, no, no.
- ANNA
- Of course we have the room. I don't
- know. Some of them must--
- ELSA
- Wait. Slow down. No one's brothers
- are staying here. No one is getting
- married.
- ANNA
- Wait, what?
- ELSA
- May I talk to you, please. Alone.
- Anna sees Hans's worried face. Hooks arms with him.
- ANNA
- No. Whatever you have to say, you-
- you can say to both of us.
- ELSA
- Fine. You can't marry a man you
- just met.
- ANNA
- You can if it's true love.
- ELSA
- Anna, what do you know about true
- love?
- ANNA
- More than you. All you know is how
- to shut people out.
- ELSA
- You asked for my blessing, but my
- answer is no. Now, excuse me.
- 31
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- HANS
- Your Majesty, if I may ease your--
- ELSA
- (flustered)
- No, you may not. And I-I think you
- should go.
- Elsa walks away. As she passes the Royal Handler--
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- The party is over. Close the gates.
- ANNA
- What? Elsa, no. No, wait!
- Anna grabs Elsa's hand. She pulls off Elsa's glove. Elsa
- gasps, spins around and reaches for the glove in panic.
- ELSA
- Give me my glove!
- Anna holds the glove away from Elsa.
- ANNA
- (desperate)
- Elsa, please. Please. I can't live
- like this anymore.
- Elsa fights tears.
- ELSA
- (weak)
- ...Then leave.
- Elsa sees Anna's hurt face. It's too much. She can't hold it
- in. She turns and rushes away.
- ANNA
- (heartbroken)
- ...What did I ever do to you?!
- The party goes silent as everyone watches the sisters.
- ELSA
- Enough, Anna.
- ANNA
- No. Why? Why do you shut me out?!
- Why do you shut the world out?!
- What are you so afraid of?!
- ELSA
- I said, enough!
- 32
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Ice shoots from Elsa's hand, spikes across the floor! Guests
- cry out in shock, back away.
- DUKE
- (ducking behind his men)
- ...Sorcery. I knew there was
- something dubious going on here.
- ANNA
- Elsa...?
- Elsa rushes out of the room.
- CUT TO:
- EXT. COURTYARD -- NIGHT
- Elsa bursts out of the castle door. The CITIZENS CHEER!
- CROWD
- There she is. Your Majesty! Long
- live the Queen! Queen Elsa.... Come
- drink with us.
- Elsa ducks through the crowd, holding her bare hand.
- BOWING TOWNSMAN
- Queen Elsa.
- TOWNSWOMAN WITH BABY
- Your Majesty? Are you all right?
- Elsa backs away from the baby. She knocks into the fountain,
- grabs its edge. The waters freeze at her touch.
- GASPS of shock and fear sweep over the crowd.
- The Duke and thugs come out the door.
- DUKE
- There she is! Stop her!
- ELSA
- (to the Duke)
- Please, just stay away from me.
- Stay away!
- Magic accidentally shoots from her hand and turns the
- staircase into ice. The thugs and the Duke fall.
- DUKE
- Monster.... Monster!
- 33
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- The crowd panics.
- A snowstorm begins. Elsa flees.
- Anna runs out of the palace doors, carrying the glove.
- ANNA
- Elsa!
- Hans follows closely behind her.
- GATES TO THE KINGDOM: Elsa runs out of the gates and down to
- the water's edge. The shoreline freezes under her feet.
- Anna calls to her from the gates.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Elsa! Wait, please!
- Elsa glances back at Anna, but turns away. She tentatively
- steps out onto the fjord. It freezes instantly. She breaks
- into a run, as the water freezes over with each step.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Elsa, stop!
- Anna rushes out onto the fjord ice, slips, falls.
- HANS
- Anna!
- Hans rushes to Anna's side.
- Elsa reaches the far shore. She doesn't look back. She just
- scrambles into the mountains.
- ANNA
- No.
- HANS
- (shocked)
- Look.... The fjord.
- The ice spreads out until the entire fjord is frozen, locking
- the ships in place.
- INT. CASTLE COURTYARD -- NIGHT
- Snow falls. Hans and Anna move through the panicking crowd.
- CROWD WALLAH
- Snow? It's...snow...in July.
- 34
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- HANS
- ...Are you all right?
- ANNA
- (in shock)
- No.
- HANS
- Did you know?
- ANNA
- No.
- Nearby, the Duke flutters about in fright.
- DUKE
- Look! It's snowing! It's snowing!
- The Queen has cursed this land! She
- must be stopped!
- (to his thugs)
- You have to go after her.
- Anna rushes up to the Duke.
- ANNA
- Wait, no!
- The Duke hides behind his thugs and points out at Anna.
- DUKE
- You! Is there sorcery in you, too?
- Are you a monster, too?
- ANNA
- No. No. I'm completely ordinary.
- HANS
- That's right she is...
- (realizing how that
- sounds)
- ...in the best way.
- ANNA
- ...And my sister's not a monster.
- DUKE
- She nearly killed me.
- HANS
- You slipped on ice.
- DUKE
- Her ice!
- 35
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- It was an accident. She was scared.
- She didn't mean it. She didn't mean
- any of this.... Tonight was my
- fault. I pushed her. So I'm the one
- that needs to go after her.
- DUKE
- Yes. Fine. Do.
- HANS
- What?
- ANNA
- (to the Royal Handler)
- Bring me my horse, please.
- HANS
- Anna, no. It's too dangerous.
- ANNA
- Elsa's not dangerous. I'll bring
- her back, and I'll make this right.
- The Royal Handler brings Anna her horse and a cloak.
- HANS
- I'm coming with you.
- ANNA
- No, I need you here to take care of
- Arendelle.
- He sees the desperation in her eyes.
- HANS
- ...On my honor.
- She throws on the cloak and hops right onto the horse,
- coronation dress and all.
- ANNA
- (to the crowd)
- I leave Prince Hans in charge!
- HANS
- (before letting her go)
- Are you sure you can trust her? I
- don't want you getting hurt.
- ANNA
- She's my sister; she would never
- hurt me.
- 36
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- She snaps the reins and rides out. Hans watches after her.
- The snow picks up and overtakes our view. We push through a
- blizzard...lose our way...then finds ourselves...
- EXT. HIGH UP IN THE MOUNTAINS -- NIGHT
- Well above the snow-line, a small figure climbs the highest
- peak. It's Elsa. Finally, she stops, looks around. Catches
- her breath and sings...
- "Let It Go"
- ELSA
- THE SNOW GLOWS WHITE
- ON THE MOUNTAIN TONIGHT,
- NOT A FOOTPRINT TO BE SEEN.
- A KINGDOM OF ISOLATION
- AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M THE QUEEN.
- THE WIND IS HOWLING
- LIKE THIS SWIRLING STORM INSIDE.
- COULDN'T KEEP IT IN,
- HEAVEN KNOWS I TRIED. . .
- DON'T LET THEM IN,
- DON'T LET THEM SEE,
- BE THE GOOD GIRL YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO
- BE.
- CONCEAL,
- DON'T FEEL,
- DON'T LET THEM KNOW.
- WELL, NOW THEY KNOW.
- Elsa takes off her glove and throws it into the air.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- LET IT GO. LET IT GO.
- CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE.
- Elsa creates a snowman, just like the one she made with Anna
- when they were children.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- LET IT GO. LET IT GO.
- TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR.
- I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO
- SAY.
- LET THE STORM RAGE ON.
- THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY.
- Elsa lets her cape fly back into the wind.
- 37
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- IT'S FUNNY HOW SOME DISTANCE
- MAKES EVERYTHING SEEM SMALL.
- AND THE FEARS THAT ONCE CONTROLLED ME
- CAN'T GET TO ME AT ALL.
- IT'S TIME TO SEE
- WHAT I CAN DO,
- TO TEST THE LIMITS AND BREAK THROUGH.
- NO RIGHT, NO WRONG,
- NO RULES FOR ME...I'M FREE!
- Elsa creates ice steps and climbs them.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
- I AM ONE WITH THE WIND AND SKY.
- LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
- YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME CRY.
- HERE I STAND AND HERE I'LL STAY.
- Elsa slams her foot down and forms a giant snowflake.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- LET THE STORM RAGE ON....
- In a flurry of creative release, she raises the snowflake on
- ice beams, builds walls, archways, a glistening chandelier,
- and an intricate ceiling that leaves the sky visible.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- MY POWER FLURRIES THROUGH THE AIR
- INTO THE GROUND.
- MY SOUL IS SPIRALING IN FROZEN
- FRACTALS ALL AROUND.
- AND ONE THOUGHT CRYSTALLIZES LIKE
- AN ICY BLAST-
- Standing firmly in her mighty ice palace, Elsa removes her
- crown and throws it.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- I'M NEVER GOING BACK,
- (back to resolve)
- THE PAST IS IN THE PAST!
- She takes down her hair and creates a new dress made of ice.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
- AND I'LL RISE LIKE THE BREAK OF DAWN.
- LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
- The sun rises. Elsa struts onto out onto a balcony and into
- the light. She's free.
- 38
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- THAT PERFECT GIRL IS GONE.
- HERE I STAND IN THE LIGHT OF DAY.
- LET THE STORM RAGE ON!!
- THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY.
- She turns and slams her ice palace door on us.
- CUT TO:
- EXT. THE FJORD FOREST -- DAY
- Anna rides her horse through two feet of snow. She shivers.
- ANNA
- (shivering)
- Elsa! Elsa! It's me, Anna...your
- sister who didn't mean to make you
- freeze the summer. I'm sorry. It's
- all my f-f-f-f-f-f-fault.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- LATER: Anna and the horse struggle through a wooded area.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- (hearing a wolf howl)
- Of course, none of this would have
- happened if she'd just told me her
- secret...ha...she's a stinker.
- A branch of a nearby tree snaps and startles the horse. Anna
- goes flying off, lands face down in the snow. She sits up.
- Spits out snow. Sees the horse running away.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Oh no. No. No. No. Come back. No.
- No. No. No.... Oooo-kay.
- He doesn't come back. Anna grabs onto a branch of a leaning
- conifer, tries to pull herself to her feet, but the tree
- snaps upright and releases all its snow onto her. GROAN.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- EXT. MOUNTAIN -- NIGHT
- The Northern Lights shine as Anna struggles, out of breath,
- reaching the top of a hill.
- 39
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- Snow, it had to be snow, she
- couldn't have had tr-tr-tropical
- magic that covered the f-f-fjords
- in white sand and warm --
- She sees smoke rising up in the distance.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Fire! WHOA!
- Anna goes tumbling down the hill. She lands with a crash in
- an icy stream at the bottom.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- (from inside the snowball)
- Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold...
- EXT. A SMALL BUILDING AND STABLE -- NIGHT
- Anna shuffles up to the building, her dress frozen stiff. She
- shakes the snow off a sign and reads:
- ANNA
- Wandering Oaken's Trading Post.
- Snow drops off a smaller sign. She reads it, happily.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Ooh! And Sauna...
- INT. WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST & SAUNA -- NIGHT
- Anna steps cautiously through the door--which hits her frozen
- butt and knocks her into the center of the shop. She looks
- around, sees only summer supplies.
- OAKEN (O.S.)
- Hoo hoo.
- Anna turns to see a bright-faced fellow sitting low behind
- the counter, fingers tapping tip to tip.
- OAKEN (CONT'D)
- Big summer blow out. Half off
- swimming suits, clogs, and a sun
- balm of my own invention, yah?
- ANNA
- Oh, great. For now, how about
- boots. Winter boots...and dresses?
- 40
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- OAKEN
- (slight disappointment)
- That would be in our winter
- department.
- The winter department contains one outfit, a pick ax, and a
- lonely pair of boots.
- ANNA
- Oh. Um, I was just wondering; has
- another young woman, the Queen
- perhaps, I don't know, passed
- through here?
- She brings the clothes and boots to the counter.
- OAKEN
- Only one crazy enough to be out in
- this storm is you, dear?
- The front door suddenly blows open and in walks a mass of a
- man covered in ice. Underneath is KRISTOFF.
- OAKEN (CONT'D)
- You and this fellow.... Hoo hoo.
- Big summer blow out.
- Kristoff walks right up to Anna.
- KRISTOFF
- (in her face)
- Carrots.
- ANNA
- Huh?
- KRISTOFF
- Behind you.
- ANNA
- Oh, right. Excuse me.
- Anna moves out of Kristoff's way. He grabs a bunch of
- carrots, tosses them on the counter, then moves through the
- place, gathering other supplies.
- OAKEN
- (to Kristoff)
- A real howler in July, yah? Where
- ever could it be coming from?
- KRISTOFF
- The North Mountain.
- 41
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- (to herself)
- North Mountain.
- Kristoff brings his supplies to the counter. Oaken counts on
- his fingertips.
- OAKEN
- That'll be forty.
- KRISTOFF
- Forty? No, ten.
- OAKEN
- (sweet as pie)
- Oh dear, that's no good. See these
- are from our winter stock, where
- supply and demand have a big
- problem.
- KRISTOFF
- You want to talk about a supply and
- demand problem? I sell ice for a
- living.
- Kristoff motions out the window, where we see the blocks of
- ice on his sled, covered in snow.
- ANNA
- Ooh, that's a rough business to be
- in right now. I mean, that is
- really...
- (he shoots her a look)
- Ahem. That's unfortunate.
- OAKEN
- Still forty. But I will throw in a
- visit to Oaken's sauna. Hoo hoo!
- Hi, family.
- Kristoff and Anna turn to see a naked family waving through
- the window of the steaming sauna.
- NAKED FAMILY
- Hoo hoo!
- KRISTOFF
- ...Ten's all I got. Help me out.
- OAKEN
- (isolating the carrots)
- Ten will get you this and no more.
- Kristoff seethes. Stalemate.
- 42
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- Okay, just tell me one thing; what
- was happening on the North
- Mountain? Did it seem magical?
- Kristoff pulls down his scarf and gives Anna a firm answer.
- KRISTOFF
- Yes! Now, back up while I deal with
- this crook here.
- Oaken stands up, revealing his seven-foot stature.
- OAKEN
- What did you call me?
- EXT. WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST AND SAUNA -- NIGHT
- Oaken stomps out the door, carrying Kristoff with one arm.
- KRISTOFF
- Okay. Okay, I'm- Ow! Whoa!
- Oaken throws Kristoff, who face-plants in the snow.
- OAKEN
- Bye bye.
- Oaken slams the door. Kristoff sits up. His reindeer, Sven,
- canters over, snorts, and nudges him, expectantly.
- KRISTOFF
- No Sven, I didn't get your carrots.
- Sven huffs in his face. Kristoff turns away and sees
- something. He points to a dilapidated barn.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- But I did find us a place to sleep.
- And it's free.
- INT. WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST AND SAUNA -- NIGHT
- Anna stands watching Oaken and all his great height as he
- squeezes behind the counter and sits down low again.
- OAKEN
- (teddy bear)
- I'm sorry about this violence. I
- will add a quart of lutefisk, so
- we'll have good feelings. Just the
- outfit and boots, yah?
- 43
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Anna looks between Kristoff's supplies and the door.
- CUT TO:
- INT. OAKEN'S STABLES - NIGHT
- Kristoff, now unfrozen, relaxes on a bed of hay, playing his
- lute and singing to (and for) Sven.
- "Reindeer(s) are Better than People"
- KRISTOFF
- REINDEERS ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE.
- SVEN, DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S TRUE?
- KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT'D)
- (throwing his voice)
- YEAH, PEOPLE WILL BEAT YOU & CURSE
- YOU & CHEAT YOU.
- EVERY ONE OF EM'S BAD, EXCEPT YOU.
- (speaking)
- Oh, thanks, Buddy.
- (singing, as Kristoff)
- BUT PEOPLE SMELL BETTER THAN
- REINDEERS.
- SVEN, DON'T YOU THINK I'M RIGHT?
- (As Sven)
- THAT'S ONCE AGAIN TRUE,
- FOR ALL EXCEPT YOU.
- (As Kristoff)
- YOU GOT ME. LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.
- (As Sven)
- GOOD NIGHT.
- (As Kristoff)
- DON'T LET THE FROSTBITE BITE.
- The door opens. Anna enters.
- ANNA
- Nice duet.
- Kristoff sits up with a start...sees who it is.
- KRISTOFF
- Oh, it's just you. What do you
- want?
- ANNA
- I want you to take me up the North
- Mountain.
- 44
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF
- I don't take people places.
- He lays back down, closes his eyes.
- ANNA
- Let me rephrase that...
- A sack of supplies lands in Kristoff's lap.
- KRISTOFF
- Umph.
- He sits up. Looks in the bag.
- ANNA
- Take me up the North Mountain....
- Please.
- He eyes her. He clearly doesn't take orders.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Look, I know how to stop this
- winter.
- He considers, lies back down, pulls his hat over his eyes.
- KRISTOFF
- We leave at dawn.... And you forgot
- the carrots for Sven.
- A bag of carrots hits Kristoff in the face.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Ugh!
- ANNA
- Oops. Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. I
- didn't--
- (catching herself)
- We leave now. Right now.
- She steps back outside and waits, anxiously. Annoyed,
- Kristoff offers Sven a carrot. Sven has a bite. Then Kristoff
- has a bite, contemplating.
- SLAM CUT TO:
- EXT. MOUNTAIN HIGH -- NIGHT
- Sven races, top speed, up a narrow cliff, pulling the sled,
- which skids precariously. Kristoff mans the reins. Anna sits
- beside him.
- 45
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF
- (trying to scare Anna)
- Hang on! We like to go fast!
- ANNA
- (fearless)
- I like fast!
- Anna leans back and puts her feet up on the dashboard.
- KRISTOFF
- Whoa, whoa! Get your feet down.
- He pushes her feet down.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- This is fresh lacquer. Seriously,
- were you raised in a barn?
- Kristoff spits on the dash to clean it. The spit flies back
- and hits Anna in the face.
- ANNA
- (grossed out)
- Ew. No, I was raised in a castle.
- She wipes off her face.
- KRISTOFF
- So tell me, what made the Queen go
- all ice-crazy?
- ANNA
- ...Oh well, it was all my fault. I
- got engaged but then she freaked
- out because I'd only just met him,
- you know, that day. And she said
- she wouldn't bless the marriage--
- KRISTOFF
- Wait. You got engaged to someone
- you just met?
- ANNA
- Yeah. Anyway, I got mad and so she
- got mad and then she tried to walk
- away, and I grabbed her glove--
- KRISTOFF
- Hang on. You mean to tell me you
- got engaged to someone you just
- met?!
- 46
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- Yes. Pay attention. But the thing
- is she wore the gloves all the
- time, so I just thought, maybe she
- has a thing about dirt.
- KRISTOFF
- Didn't your parents ever warn you
- about strangers?
- Anna eyes Kristoff up and down, then slides away from him.
- ANNA
- Yes, they did.... But Hans is not a
- stranger.
- KRISTOFF
- Oh yeah? What's his last name?
- ANNA
- ...Of-the-Southern-Isles?
- KRISTOFF
- What's his favorite food?
- ANNA
- ...Sandwiches.
- KRISTOFF
- Best friend's name?
- ANNA
- Probably John.
- KRISTOFF
- Eye color.
- ANNA
- Dreamy.
- KRISTOFF
- Foot size...?
- ANNA
- Foot size doesn't matter.
- KRISTOFF
- Have you had a meal with him yet?
- What if you hate the way he eats?
- What if you hate the way he picks
- his nose?
- ANNA
- Picks his nose?
- 47
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF
- And eats it.
- ANNA
- Excuse me, sir. He's a prince.
- KRISTOFF
- All men do it.
- ANNA
- Ew. Look it doesn't matter; it's
- true love.
- KRISTOFF
- Doesn't sound like true love.
- ANNA
- Are you some sort of love expert?
- KRISTOFF
- No. But I have friends who are.
- ANNA
- You have friends who are love
- experts.... I'm not buying it.
- Sven suddenly stops, ears perked in alarm.
- KRISTOFF
- (to Anna)
- Stop talking.
- ANNA
- No, no, no. I'd like to meet these--
- Kristoff clamps his hand over Anna's mouth.
- KRISTOFF
- I mean it. SHHH.
- Kristoff stands, looks into the dark woods surrounding them.
- Sensing something behind them, he holds up his lantern. Its
- light reflects off...EYES. Several.
- KRISTOFF(CONT'D)
- Sven, go. Go!
- Sven takes off.
- ANNA
- What are they?
- KRISTOFF
- Wolves.
- 48
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Flashes of white dart through the woods. Kristoff hops into
- the back of the sled, grabs a torch. Lights it.
- ANNA
- Wolves. What do we do?
- KRISTOFF
- I've got this. You just...don't
- fall off and don't get eaten.
- ANNA
- But I wanna help.
- KRISTOFF
- No.
- ANNA
- Why not?
- KRISTOFF
- Because I don't trust your
- judgement.
- ANNA
- Excuse me?!
- A wolf jumps at them, but Kristoff kicks it off.
- KRISTOFF
- Who marries a man she just met?
- Anna grabs the lute, swings it right at Kristoff's head.
- ANNA
- It's true love!
- He screams, as she...BAM!...swings past Kristoff and knocks a
- wolf away.
- KRISTOFF
- (shocked)
- Whoa.
- Just then Kristoff is yanked off the sled by another wolf.
- The torch goes flying. Anna catches it, shocked.
- ANNA
- Christopher!
- Kristoff grabs onto a loose rope hanging from the back of the
- sled and holds on for dear life as he's dragged behind.
- KRISTOFF
- It's Kristoff!
- 49
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- A wolf jumps on Kristoff's back.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- AH!
- Anna thinks fast, uses the torch to light a blanket on fire.
- ANNA
- Duck!
- Anna throws the flaming blanket right at him. He ducks. The
- blanket hits the wolves. They tumble off Kristoff.
- KRISTOFF
- You almost set me on fire!
- Anna reaches out a hand, pulls Kristoff back onto the sled.
- ANNA
- But I didn't.
- Sven cries out. There is a massive gorge ahead.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Get ready to jump, Sven!
- KRISTOFF
- You don't tell him what to do!
- Kristoff shoves a satchel into her arms then scoops her up.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- I do!
- Kristoff tosses Anna onto Sven, then unhooks Sven's harness
- from the sled.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Jump, Sven!
- Sven jumps the gorge with Anna on his back.
- Kristoff goes flying off behind them, still on the sled.
- Anna and Sven land safely on the other side of the gorge.
- Kristoff's sled loses momentum. It's not going to make it. He
- leaps off. He flaps his arms, claws at the air.
- He slams into the snowy edge of the cliff. Hanging by his
- hands, he looks down to see his sled hit the ground far below
- and burst into flames.
- 50
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- (shocked sadness)
- ...But I just paid it off.
- Suddenly, he starts to slip. He claws at the loose snow, but
- it's clearly hopeless. He's going down.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Uh-oh. No, no, no.
- To make matters worse, an AXE comes flying right at his face.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- AH! NO, NO, NO!
- The axe slams into the snow, inches from his nose.
- ANNA (O.S.)
- Grab on!
- Kristoff grabs on.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Pull, Sven! Pull!
- REVEAL: The axe is tied to a rope, then wrapped around Sven.
- Anna helps Sven pull Kristoff to safety.
- Kristoff rolls onto his back, exhausted. Anna peeks down at
- the burning sled.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Whoa.... I'll replace your sled and
- everything in it.
- Kristoff groans.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- And I understand if you don't want
- to help me anymore.
- Anna walks off, sadly. Sven comes over and nuzzles Kristoff.
- KRISTOFF
- Of course I don't want to help her
- anymore. In fact, this whole thing
- has ruined me for helping anyone
- ever again.
- KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT'D)
- But she'll die on her own.
- KRISTOFF (AS SELF) (CONT'D)
- I can live with that.
- 51
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Through their conversation, they watch Anna go the wrong
- way...turn, go the other wrong way, turn, trip...
- KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT'D)
- But you won't get your new sled if
- she's dead.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- (knowing he's got a point)
- ...You know sometimes I really
- don't like you.
- Sven licks Kristoff happily.
- KRISTOFF (AS SELF) (CONT'D)
- (to Anna)
- Hold up. We're coming?!
- ANNA
- (excited)
- You are?!
- (catching herself)
- I mean, sure. I'll let you tag
- along.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- 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.
- ANNA
- ...But it'll be fine. Elsa will
- thaw it.
- KRISTOFF
- Will she?
- 52
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- 53
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- 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 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?
- ANNA
- (sympathetic)
- ...Okay. Wait one second.
- Anna kneels in front of Olaf and rights his head.
- 54
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- 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.
- OLAF
- Woo! Head rush!
- 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.
- 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.
- 55
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- 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?
- 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...
- OLAF
- Yeah. Why?
- 56
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- Do you think you could show us the
- way?
- OLAF
- Yeah. Why?
- KRISTOFF
- (bending the arm)
- How does this work?
- Olaf's dismembered arm slaps Kristoff across the face.
- 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.
- 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.
- 57
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- -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.
- -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.
- -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.
- 58
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- HAPPY SNOWMAN!
- -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

- FINALLY DO WHAT FROZEN THINGS DO IN
- SUMMER!
- KRISTOFF
- I'm gonna tell him.
- ANNA
- Don't you dare.
- 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:
- 59
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- 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.
- 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?
- HANS
- (tall and confident)
- Princess Anna has given her orders
- and--
- 60
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- His two thugs sneer.
- CUT TO:
- 61
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- EXT. THE NORTH MOUNTAIN -- DAY
- Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf move through hostile terrain.
- Wind-swept icicles face horizontal.
- KRISTOFF
- So how exactly are you planning to
- stop this weather?
- ANNA
- (confident)
- Oh, I am gonna talk to my sister.
- KRISTOFF
- That's your plan? My ice business
- is riding on you talking to your
- sister.
- ANNA
- Yup.
- Kristoff, so stunned by her casual plan, doesn't look where
- he's going and ends up with an ice-spike to the nose. He
- stops short, GULP, moves carefully around the spike.
- KRISTOFF
- So you're not at all afraid of her?
- ANNA
- Why would I be?
- OLAF
- (oblivious)
- Yeah. I bet Elsa's the nicest,
- gentlest, warmest person ever.
- Olaf backs right into an icicle. It runs through his torso.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- Oh, look at that. I've been
- impaled.
- He laughs it off.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- EXT. STEEP MOUNTAIN FACE -- DAY
- Anna and Kristoff hit what looks like a dead end. The face of
- the mountain goes straight up.
- ANNA
- What now?
- 62
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Kristoff looks around, sighs. Digs in his rucksack.
- KRISTOFF
- ...It's too steep. I've only got
- one rope, and you don't know how to
- climb mountains.
- ANNA (O.S.)
- Says who?
- Sven nudges Kristoff, who looks up to see Anna trying to
- climb the cliff's flat face.
- KRISTOFF
- (finding her ridiculous)
- What are you doing?
- ANNA
- (straining)
- ...I'm going to see my sister.
- KRISTOFF
- You're going to kill yourself.
- Kristoff watches her searching for footholds and hand-holds.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- I wouldn't put my foot there.
- ANNA (O.S.)
- You're distracting me.
- KRISTOFF
- Or there. How do you know Elsa even
- wants to see you?
- ANNA (O.S.)
- I'm just blocking you out cause I
- gotta concentrate here.
- KRISTOFF
- You know, most people who disappear
- into the mountains want to be
- alone.
- ANNA (O.S.)
- Nobody wants to be alone. Except
- maybe you--
- KRISTOFF
- I'm not alone.... I have friends,
- remember?
- Anna kicks a foot above her head to catch a foot hold.
- 63
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- You mean the love experts?
- KRISTOFF
- Yes, the love experts!
- Anna realizes she's stuck.
- ANNA
- ...Please tell me I'm almost there.
- REVEAL: she's only about six feet up. Her muscles shake.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- ...Does the air seem a bit thin to
- you up here?
- Kristoff smiles, getting a kick out of her.
- KRISTOFF
- Hang on.
- He pulls the rope from his bag. Just then Olaf steps out from
- behind a rock and waves to Kristoff.
- OLAF
- Hey, Sven? Not sure if this is
- going to solve the problem, but I
- found a staircase that leads
- exactly where you want it to go.
- ANNA
- Ha ha. Thank goodness. Catch!
- Anna drops off the cliff. Kristoff catches her.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Thanks! That was like a crazy trust
- exercise.
- She hops down, brushes off her dress, and bounds off.
- Kristoff watches after her, digging her fearless pluck.
- EXT. BASE OF THE ICE PALACE -- DAY
- Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf approach Elsa's elegant ice palace.
- ANNA
- Whoa.
- KRISTOFF
- (in awe)
- Now that's ice. I might cry.
- 64
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- Go ahead. I won't judge.
- Anna climbs the steps with Olaf. Sven tries to follow. His
- hooves slip out. He scrambles but can't get traction.
- Kristoff runs to his aide.
- KRISTOFF
- All right, take it easy. I gotcha.
- Kristoff settles Sven back down the stairs and pats him.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- You stay right here, buddy.
- Sven obediently plops his reindeer butt down and wags his
- tail. Kristoff climbs the stairs, admiring the ice details.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- ...Flawless.
- Anna arrives at the door. Hesitates.
- OLAF
- ...Knock....
- (she doesn't)
- Just knock....
- (she doesn't. To Kristoff)
- Why isn't she knocking...? Do you
- think she knows how to knock?
- Anna finally KNOCKS. The sound echoes inside. The ice doors
- slide open.
- ANNA
- Ha. It opened. That's a first.
- Anna goes to step in. Kristoff follows. She gets a thought,
- stops him.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- You should probably wait out here.
- KRISTOFF
- What?
- ANNA
- Last time I introduced her to a
- guy, she froze everything.
- KRISTOFF
- But, it's a palace made of ice. Ice
- is my life.
- 65
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- OLAF
- Bye, Sven.
- Olaf starts to head inside. Anna stops him.
- ANNA
- You too, Olaf.
- OLAF
- Me?
- ANNA
- Just give us a minute.
- OLAF
- Okay.
- As Anna walks inside. Olaf starts counting.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- One...two...
- Kristoff joins in.
- OLAF AND KRISTOFF
- Three...four...
- INT. ELSA'S PALACE -- DAY
- Anna walks into a great foyer. The place is beautiful, but
- also eerie.
- ANNA
- Elsa? It's me...Anna?!
- Anna slips. Steadies herself.
- ELSA (O.S.)
- Anna.
- Elsa steps out of the shadows onto a balcony. She sees Anna,
- looks to her longingly.
- Anna can't help but be struck by Elsa's beauty.
- ANNA
- Elsa, you look different.... It's a
- good different.... And this place
- is amazing.
- 66
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ELSA
- (cautious, polite)
- Thank you, I never knew what I was
- capable of.
- Anna starts to climb the stairs.
- ANNA
- ...I'm so sorry about what
- happened. If I'd known--
- Elsa backs up, away from Anna.
- ELSA
- (on guard)
- No, it's okay. You don't have to
- apologize.... But you should
- probably go, please.
- ANNA
- But I just got here.
- ELSA
- ...You belong in Arendelle.
- ANNA
- So do you.
- Anna takes another step up. Elsa backs up more.
- ELSA
- No, I belong here. Alone. Where I
- can be who I am without hurting
- anybody.
- ANNA
- ...Actually, about that--
- OLAF (O.S.)
- 58...59...60.
- ELSA
- Wait. What is that?
- Olaf comes running in the front door. He waves.
- OLAF
- Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs.
- ELSA
- (shocked)
- Olaf?
- Olaf stops beside Anna, looks up at Elsa, intimidated.
- 67
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- OLAF
- (bashful)
- You built me. You remember that?
- ELSA
- (astonished)
- And you're alive?
- OLAF
- Um...I think so?
- Anna kneels down beside Olaf.
- ANNA
- He's just like the one we built as
- kids.... We were so close. We can
- be like that again.
- Elsa smiles, but then a memory returns to her.
- FLASH CUT TO:
- FLASHBACK: Young Anna is struck by Elsa's powers.
- YOUNG ELSA
- Anna!
- Young Anna falls unconscious. Young Elsa races to her.
- FLASH CUT TO:
- THE PRESENT: Elsa's face sinks in pain.
- ELSA
- No, we can't.
- Elsa turns and heads up the second story steps.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- Goodbye, Anna.
- ANNA
- Elsa, wait--
- ELSA
- (calling back)
- I'm just trying to protect you.
- Elsa continues to flee. Anna pursues.
- ANNA
- You don't have to protect me. I'm
- not afraid. Please don't shut me
- out again.
- 68
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Anna SINGS.
- "First Time in Forever, Reprise"
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- PLEASE DON'T SLAM THE DOOR.
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP YOUR
- DISTANCE ANYMORE.
- `CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
- FOREVER,
- I FINALLY UNDERSTAND.
- FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
- WE CAN FIX THIS HAND IN HAND.
- WE CAN HEAD DOWN THIS MOUNTAIN
- TOGETHER.
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE IN FEAR.
- `CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
- FOREVER,
- I WILL BE RIGHT HERE.
- They arrive on the top floor, Elsa's main living space. Elsa
- turns back to Anna, grateful, but determined.
- ELSA
- Anna,
- PLEASE GO BACK HOME.
- YOUR LIFE AWAITS.
- GO ENJOY THE SUN
- AND OPEN UP THE GATES.
- ANNA
- Yeah, but--
- ELSA
- I know!
- YOU MEAN WELL,
- BUT LEAVE ME BE.
- YES, I'M ALONE BUT I'M ALONE AND
- FREE.
- Elsa opens up the balcony doors.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- JUST STAY AWAY AND YOU'LL BE SAFE
- FROM ME.
- ANNA
- ACTUALLY, WE'RE NOT.
- ELSA
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT?
- 69
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- I GET THE FEELING YOU DON'T KNOW?
- ELSA
- WHAT DO I NOT KNOW?
- ANNA
- ARENDELLE'S IN DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP
- SNOW.
- ELSA
- What?
- Elsa looks past Anna's shoulder out white-peaked mountains.
- ANNA
- You kind of set off an eternal
- winter...everywhere.
- ELSA
- Everywhere?
- ANNA
- It's okay, you can just unfreeze
- it.
- ELSA
- No, I can't. I don't know how.
- ANNA
- Sure you can. I know you can.
- Snow starts to swirl around the room.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- CUZ FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
- ELSA
- (panicking)
- I'M SUCH A FOOL!
- I CAN'T BE FREE!
- ANNA
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID.
- ELSA
- NO ESCAPE
- FROM THE STORM INSIDE OF ME!
- The snow picks up. Anna tries to fight through it.
- ANNA
- WE CAN WORK THIS OUT TOGETHER.
- 70
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ELSA
- I CAN'T CONTROL THE CURSE!
- ANNA
- WE'LL REVERSE THE STORM YOU'VE
- MADE.
- ELSA
- ANNA, PLEASE, YOU'LL ONLY MAKE IT
- WORSE!
- ANNA
- DON'T PANIC.
- ELSA
- THERE'S SO MUCH FEAR!
- ANNA
- WE'LL MAKE THE SUN SHINE BRIGHT.
- ELSA
- YOU'RE NOT SAFE HERE!
- ANNA
- WE CAN FACE THIS THING TOGETHER...
- But as Anna sings, we lose sight of her in the thickening
- blizzard taking over the room.
- ELSA
- NO!
- ANNA (O.S.)
- WE CAN CHANGE THIS WINTER WEATHER,
- AND EVERYTHING WILL BE...
- Anna's voice disappears in the storm as Elsa cries out.
- ELSA
- I CAN'T!
- Elsa's fear, so strong, sucks the blizzard back into her and
- then it bursts out, unwittingly, like a sharp snowflake.
- Anna is STRUCK right in the heart. She grasps her chest in
- pain and stumbles back. She falls to her knees.
- Elsa gasps when she sees Anna. Just then, Olaf and Kristoff
- rush into the room to Anna's side.
- KRISTOFF
- Anna. Are you okay?
- 71
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- I'm okay.... I'm fine.
- Anna gets to her feet, determined to hide the pain.
- ELSA
- (scared)
- Who's this? Wait, it doesn't
- matter. You have to go.
- ANNA
- No, I know we can figure this out
- together--
- ELSA
- (desperate)
- How? What power do you have to stop
- this winter? To stop me?
- Anna doesn't have the answer. Kristoff sees spiky ice shadows
- creeping down the walls. Puts a protective arm around Anna.
- KRISTOFF
- Anna, I think we should go.
- ANNA
- (close to tears)
- No. I'm not leaving without you,
- Elsa.
- ELSA
- (heartbroken but decisive)
- Yes, you are.
- Elsa waves her arms and builds a giant, menacing snowman.
- We'll call him MARSHMALLOW.
- SLAM CUT TO:
- EXT. ICE PALACE -- DAY
- Marshmallow holds Anna and Kristoff by the scruff of their
- necks in one hand and Olaf in the other.
- ANNA
- Stop. Put us down!
- OLAF
- (to Marshmallow)
- You are a lot stronger than I think
- you realize.
- Marshmallow tosses Kristoff and Anna down the steps.
- 72
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- MARSHMALLOW
- (like a bouncer)
- Go away!
- Anna and Kistoff slide past Sven, who's got his tongue stuck
- to the ice railing.
- OLAF (O.S.)
- Heads up!
- Olaf's head smashes into a snowbank nearby.
- ANNA
- Olaf!
- OLAF
- Watch out for my butt!
- Anna and Kristoff duck as the rest of Olaf slams into the
- snowbank.
- Marshmallow turns to go back into the castle.
- Incensed, Anna tries to march back up the stairs.
- ANNA
- It is not nice to throw people!
- Kristoff grabs her, pulls her back.
- KRISTOFF ANNA
- All right feisty pants. Calm Let me at him. I want to get
- down. Woaw. Just let the snow him. I.... Okay. I'm Calm.
- man be.
- Anna backs down...for a moment. Then she grabs a snowball and
- throws it at Marshmallow.
- The tiny little ball hits Marshmallow's back, not making even
- the slightest dent. But it's enough to infuriate him. He
- ROARS. Spikes shoot out of his joints.
- KRISTOFF
- Uh-oh. Now you made him mad!
- OLAF
- ...I'll distract him. You guys go.
- Kristoff pushes Anna along. Sven runs off in the opposite
- direction. Olaf's belly and butt fall and follow Sven.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- No, no, not you guys.
- 73
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Marshmallow goes charging after Anna and Kristoff as Olaf's
- head falls and lands face down in snow.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- (muffled)
- This just got a whole lot harder.
- Anna and Kristoff leap and slide down a steep slope. They
- tumble to a stop at the bottom just as Marshmallow lands hard
- right behind them.
- They're off again...through a maze of conifers that sag under
- the weight of the snow, Marshmallow hot on their trail.
- KRISTOFF
- This way!
- Anna grabs a branch of a sagging trees and releases all of
- the snow. The tree snaps upright, knocking Marshmallow back.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- (impressed)
- Ho-ho-ho!
- ANNA
- I got him!
- Anna and Kristoff burst out of the conifer forest and almost
- run right off a cliff. They stop short, toes on the edge.
- KRISTOFF
- Whoa, stop!
- ANNA
- It's a hundred foot drop.
- KRISTOFF
- It's two hundred.
- Kristoff ties the rope around Anna and pulls tight.
- ANNA
- Ow.
- He drops to his knees and starts digging a u-shape in the
- snow with a pick axe.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- What's that for?
- KRISTOFF
- I'm digging a snow anchor.
- 74
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- (not trusting)
- Okay. What if we fall?
- KRISTOFF
- There's twenty feet of fresh powder
- down there; it'll be like landing
- on a pillow.... Hopefully.
- They hear an angry ROAR coming closer.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Okay, Anna. On three.
- Anna preps for the jump like a boxer getting ready to fight.
- ANNA
- Okay. You tell me when...
- KRISTOFF
- One...
- ANNA
- ...I'm ready to go....
- KRISTOFF
- Two...
- ANNA
- (pumped up)
- ...I was BORN ready! Yes!
- KRISTOFF
- Calm down.
- A huge tree flies through the air toward them.
- ANNA (O.S.)
- TREE!
- Anna jumps and pulls Kristoff over the edge with her. They
- hang upside down over the cliff by the rope. The rope catches
- their fall.
- KRISTOFF
- Whoa! That happened.
- Back up top, Olaf emerges from the woods. He's a complete
- mess, all his body parts are in the wrong places. He huffs
- and puffs, struggling to run.
- OLAF
- Ah. Ah. Man, am I out of shape.
- 75
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- He stops. Puts his body back together in the right order.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- There we go. Hey, Anna! Sven!
- Where'd ya guys go? We totally lost
- Marshmallow back there!
- Marshmallow steps up behind Olaf. Olaf turns to face him.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- (happily)
- Hey. We were just talking about
- you. All good things, all good
- things.
- Marshmallow roars and approaches Kristoff's snow anchor.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- NO!
- Olaf jumps onto Marshmallow's leg trying to stop him, but not
- making much of a difference.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- This is not making much of a
- difference!
- Marshmallow flicks Olaf off his leg and right over the cliff.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- WHOA!
- Olaf passes Anna and Kristoff.
- ANNA
- Olaf!
- OLAF
- Hang in there, guys!
- Marshmallow starts yanking Kristoff and Anna's rope up.
- ANNA
- Wait, what?
- Kristoff's head hits the cliff.
- KRISTOFF
- Aargghh!
- Kristoff passes out and hangs like a rag doll.
- ANNA
- Kristoff!
- 76
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Marshmallow pulls them up. He roars and breathes snow all
- over them.
- MARSHMALLOW
- Don't come back!
- ANNA
- (grossed out by his snow
- breath)
- Ugh. We won't.
- Anna whips out a knife and cuts the rope. Kristoff comes to
- just as they fall. They both SCREAM!
- SLAM!
- REVEAL: Anna opens her eyes to find herself buried up to her
- shoulders in the soft thick snow. She laughs.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- Hey, you were right. Just like a
- pillow.
- She looks up to see Olaf's upper half hanging onto Kristoff's
- boots, which are sticking out of the snow.
- OLAF
- (shaking the boots)
- I can't feel my legs! I can't feel
- my legs!
- Suddenly, Kristoff's head pops up. He spits out snow.
- KRISTOFF
- Those are my legs.
- Olaf's bottom goes running by.
- OLAF
- (to Kristoff)
- Ooh. Hey, do me a favor, grab my
- butt.
- Kristoff grabs Olaf's head and puts it on his body.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- Oh, that feels better.
- Sven walks up and sniffs Olaf's nose.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- Hey, Sven!
- 77
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Olaf turns to Anna and Kristoff just as Sven goes to bite off
- his nose -- and misses.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- He found us.
- (to Sven, funny voice)
- Who's my cute little reindeer?
- KRISTOFF
- Don't talk to him like that.
- Kristoff goes over to help Anna, who is stuck in the snow.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Here.
- He lifts her out easily.
- ANNA
- (impressed)
- Whoa!
- KRISTOFF
- You okay?
- ANNA
- Thank you.
- They meet eyes. Wait. Is that chemistry?
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- ...Um.... How's your head?
- She touches the spot where he banged his head.
- KRISTOFF
- (in pain)
- Ah! Ooh!
- He catches himself. Waves off the pain with a giggle.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- I mean, It's fine. Ah...I'm good.
- Ha. I've got a thick skull.
- OLAF
- I don't have a skull.... Or bones.
- KRISTOFF
- ...So....
- The awkwardness is killing him.
- 78
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- (shy)
- Now what?
- ANNA
- (shy)
- Now what?
- (then...panicking)
- Now what?! Oh! What am I gonna do?
- She threw me out. I can't go back
- to Arendelle with the weather like
- this. And then there's your ice
- business--
- KRISTOFF
- Hey, hey, don't worry about my ice
- business...
- (noticing something)
- Worry about your hair?!
- She thinks he means it looks bad. She smooths it down.
- ANNA
- What? I just fell off a cliff. You
- should see your hair.
- KRISTOFF
- No, yours is turning white.
- She grabs her braid as a tendril turns white.
- ANNA
- White? It's what?
- KRISTOFF
- It's because she struck you; isn't
- it?
- ANNA
- Does it look bad?
- KRISTOFF
- (thinking)
- ...No.
- Olaf's head pops up. He's holding his head up off his body to
- join the conversation.
- OLAF
- You hesitated.
- KRISTOFF
- No, I didn't. Anna, you need help.
- Now, come on.
- 79
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- He heads towards the sunset. Sven and Olaf follow.
- OLAF
- Okay! Where are we going?
- KRISTOFF
- To see my friends.
- ANNA
- (catching up)
- The love experts?
- OLAF
- Love experts?!
- KRISTOFF
- Yes. And don't worry; they'll be
- able to fix this.
- ANNA
- How do you know?
- He looks her over, remembering the moment he saw the trolls
- heal her as a child.
- KRISTOFF
- ...Because I've seen them do it
- before.
- As they round the bend, the sun sets and Olaf turns to Sven.
- OLAF
- I like to consider myself a love
- expert.
- CUT TO:
- INT. ELSA'S PALACE -- DAY
- Elsa paces, distraught. She talks to herself.
- ELSA
- (mantra-style)
- Get it together. Control it. Don't
- feel. Don't feel. Don't FEEL!
- She hears ice cracking. Stops. Looks around. She's left a
- sharp wake of ice spikes behind her on the floor. They grow
- up the wall, taking over the castle.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- 80
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- EXT. BLACK MOUNTAINS -- NIGHT
- The Northern Lights are bright. Olaf stares at them in awe as
- he rides on Sven's back.
- OLAF
- Look, Sven. The sky's awake.
- Behind Olaf and Sven, Anna walks with Kristoff. She shivers.
- KRISTOFF
- Are you cold?
- ANNA
- ...A little.
- He reaches like he might put an arm around her, but decides
- against it. He looks around as if he doesn't know what to do,
- then gets a thought.
- KRISTOFF
- Wait. Come here.
- He takes her hand and pulls her around a bend into a rock-
- lined pass.
- Steam vents, powered by the volcanic activity, dot the path.
- He holds her hands over one of them.
- ANNA
- Oooh.... That's nice.
- They continue on the path, walking from vent to vent.
- KRISTOFF
- (taking a deep breath)
- So, about my friends...well, I say
- friends, they're more like
- family.... Anyway, when I was a
- kid, it was just me and
- Sven...until they took me in.
- ANNA
- (moved)
- They did?
- KRISTOFF
- (nervous ramble)
- Yeah. I don't want to scare you,
- they can be a little bit
- inappropriate...and loud...very
- loud...they're also stubborn at
- times, and a little overbearing.
- And heavy. Really, really heavy.
- (MORE)
- 81
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- But they're fine.. You'll get it.
- They mean well.
- Anna touches Kristoff's arm, reassuringly.
- ANNA
- Kristoff, they sound wonderful.
- Kristoff smiles, appreciating her sincerity.
- KRISTOFF
- Okay then....
- Mustering the courage, Kristoff steps forward and with a wave
- of the arms announces--
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Meet my family.
- REVEAL: he's surrounded by rocks.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- (to the rocks)
- Hey, guys!
- As Kristoff and Sven move through the rocks, waving and
- greeting, Olaf and Anna stand frozen, dumbfounded.
- ANNA
- (to herself)
- ...They're rocks.
- OLAF
- (realizing)
- He's crazy.
- (covertly, to Anna)
- I'll distract them while you run.
- (Loud and slow to a rock)
- Hi, Sven's family! It's nice to
- meet you!
- (quietly to Anna)
- Anna, because I love you, I insist
- you run.
- (to the rock)
- I understand you're love experts!
- (to Anna)
- Why aren't you running?
- Anna snaps out of her shock and starts backing away.
- ANNA
- Okay. Um...I'm gonna go--
- Just then the rocks around her start rolling.
- 82
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- (panicking)
- Kristoff!
- Olaf lights up and chases the rocks, who surround Kristoff
- and unfold as trolls.
- BULDA
- KRISTOFF'S HOME!
- TROLLS (VARIOUS)
- Kristoff! Kristoff's home! It's
- been too long! Kristoff's home!
- Olaf jumps around all excitedly.
- OLAF
- (excitedly)
- Kristoff's home.
- He then stops, confused, and looks to one of the trolls.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- Wait? Kristoff?
- Anna watches, shocked and confused.
- The trolls all want Kristoff's attention. One troll yanks him
- down with a boulder's strength.
- TROLL ONE
- Oh, lemme look at you!
- Another troll tries to pull off his clothes.
- TROLL TWO
- Oh, take off your clothes,
- Kristoff; I wash them.
- KRISTOFF
- (holding up his pants)
- Ah! No. I'm gonna keep my clothes
- on, thank you.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Great to see you all. Where's
- grandpa?
- MUSHROOM KID TROLL
- He's napping. But look, I grew a
- mushroom.
- TROLL SCOUT KID
- And I earned my fire crystal.
- 83
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KIDNEY STONE TROLL
- I passed a kidney stone.
- PICK ME UP TROLL
- Pick me up.
- The kid troll jumps up on Kristoff's arm. Kristoff sinks
- under the weight of him.
- Anna still stares, confused, then realizes...
- ANNA
- Trolls? They're trolls.
- Silence. All troll eyes turn to Anna. Blink. Blink.
- BULDA
- ...He's brought a girl!
- TROLLS (TOGETHER)
- He's brought a girl!
- Suddenly Anna is surrounded by trolls. They body-surf/roll
- Anna over to Kristoff. She falls into his arms.
- ANNA
- What's going on?
- KRISTOFF
- I've learned to just roll with it.
- Bulda climbs on top of her husband, Cliff, to get a good look
- at Anna. She studies her like she's a piece of cattle.
- BULDA
- Let me see. Bright eyes. Working
- nose. Strong teeth. Yes, yes, yes.
- She'll do nicely for our Kristoff.
- ANNA
- Wait. Oh. Um. No.
- KRISTOFF
- You've got the wrong idea. That's
- not why I brought her here.
- ANNA
- Right. We're not. I'm not--
- Anna laughs, uncomfortable, not knowing what to say.
- 84
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- BULDA
- (to Anna)
- What's the issue, dear? Why are you
- holding back from such a man?
- Bulda SINGS.
- "Fixer-Upper"
- TROLLS (VARIOUS)
- IS IT THE CLUMPY WAY HE WALKS?
- OR THE GRUMPY WAY HE TALKS?
- OR THE PEAR-SHAPED, SQUARE-SHAPED
- WEIRDNESS OF HIS FEET?
- AND THOUGH WE KNOW HE WASHES WELL
- HE ALWAYS ENDS UP SORTA SMELLY.
- BUT YOU'LL NEVER MEET A FELLA WHO'S
- AS SENSITIVE AND SWEET.
- TROLLS (CHORUS) (CONT'D)
- SO HE'S A BIT OF A FIXER UPPER,
- SO HE'S GOT A FEW FLAWS-
- HIS PECULIAR BRAIN, DEAR.
- HIS THING FOR THE REINDEER
- THAT OUTSIDE A FEW OF NATURE'S
- LAWS.
- SO HE'S A BIT OF A FIXER UPPER,
- BUT THIS WE'RE CERTAIN OF-
- YOU CAN FIX THIS FIXER UPPER UP
- WITH A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE.
- KRISTOFF
- Can we just stop talking about
- this?! We've got a real, actual
- problem here.
- BULDA
- I'll say--
- (To Anna)
- IS IT THE WAY THAT HE RUNS SCARED?
- TROLLS (VARIOUS)
- OR THAT HE'S SOCIALLY IMPAIRED?
- KID TROLL
- OR THAT HE ONLY LIKES TO TINKLE IN
- THE WOODS?
- TROLLS (VARIOUS)
- ARE YOU HOLDING BACK YOUR FONDNESS
- DUE TO HIS UNMANLY BLONDENESS?
- OR THE WAY HE COVERS UP THAT HE'S
- THE HONEST GOODS?
- 85
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- TROLLS (CHORUS) (CONT'D)
- HE'S JUST A BIT OF A FIXER UPPER-
- HE'S GOT A COUPLE A' BUGS.
- KRISTOFF
- No, I don't.
- TROLLS
- HIS ISOLATION
- IS CONFIRMATION
- OF HIS DESPERATION FOR HEALING
- HUGS.
- SO HE'S A BIT OF A FIXER UPPER,
- BUT WE KNOW WHAT TO DO.
- THE WAY TO FIX UP THIS FIXER UPPER
- IS TO FIX HIM UP WITH YOU.
- The girl trolls sweep Anna away. The boys take Kristoff.
- KRISTOFF
- (to the male trolls)
- Enough! She's engaged to someone
- else. Okay?!
- TROLLS beat. Blink. Blink. The boy trolls turn, huddle...
- TROLLS (VARIOUS)
- SO SHE'S A BIT OF A FIXER UPPER,
- THAT'S A MINOR THING.
- THIS QUOTE "ENGAGEMENT"
- IS A FLEX ARRANGEMENT.
- KID TROLL
- AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T SEE NO
- RING.
- TROLLS (VARIOUS)
- SO SHE'S A BIT OF A FIXER UPPER,
- HER BRAIN'S A BIT BETWIXT.
- GET THE FIANCE
- OUT OF THE WAY
- AND THE WHOLE THING WILL BE FIXED!
- GIRL TROLLS
- WE AREN'T SAYING YOU CAN CHANGE HIM
- TROLLS (VARIOUS)
- 'CAUSE PEOPLE DON'T REALLY CHANGE.
- WE'RE ONLY SAYING THAT LOVE'S A
- FORCE
- THAT'S POWERFUL AND STRANGE.
- PEOPLE MAKE BAD CHOICES
- IF THEY'RE MAD OR SCARED OR

- FROZEN - J. Lee
- TROLLS (VARIOUS) (CONT'D)
- BUT THROW A LITTLE LOVE THEIR WAY
- (THROW A LITTLE LOVE THEIR WAY)
- AND YOU'LL BRING OUT THEIR BEST!
- TRUE LOVE BRINGS OUT THE BEST!
- Kristoff looks over at Anna. She actually looks shockingly
- beautiful dressed in moss, lit by shimmering crystals.
- ALL TROLLS
- EVERYONE'S A BIT OF A FIXER UPPER,
- THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
- FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER
- WE NEED EACH OTHER
- TO RAISE US UP AND ROUND US OUT
- By this time Kristoff and Anna are being ushered into a pit
- by the sheer force of numbers.
- TROLLS
- EVERYONE'S A BIT OF A FIXER UPPER,
- BUT WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE-
- THE ONLY FIXER UPPER FIXER THAT CAN
- FIX A FIXER UPPER IS
- TRUE
- TRUE
- TRUE
- TRUE
- LOVE
- During this last bit Anna and Kristoff are looking at each
- other differently. Hmmm. Maybe those trolls are right?
- Sparks! Chemistry!
- TROLL PRIEST
- Do you, Anna, take Kristoff to be
- your trollfully wedded--
- ANNA
- Wait, what?!
- TROLL PRIEST
- You're getting married.
- TROLLS
- LOVE!
- Just then, Anna collapses. Kristoff catches her. She's
- shivering something fierce.
- KRISTOFF
- Anna?
- He pulls off her cape and hat.
- 87
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- She's as cold as ice.
- Just then Grand Pabbie pushes his way through the crowd.
- Trolls clear the way for Pabbie. He stops at the edge of the
- pit.
- GRAND PABBIE
- There's strange magic here!
- KRISTOFF
- Grand Pabbie!
- GRAND PABBIE
- Bring her to me, Kristoff.
- Kristoff helps Anna over. Pabbie looks into her weak eyes.
- GRAND PABBIE (CONT'D)
- Anna, your life is in danger. There
- is ice in your heart, put there by
- your sister. If not removed, to
- solid ice will you freeze, forever.
- ANNA
- What...? No.
- KRISTOFF
- So remove it, Grand Pabbie.
- GRAND PABBIE
- I can't. If it was her head, that
- would be easy. But only an act of
- true love can thaw a frozen heart.
- ANNA
- An act of true love?
- BULDA
- (googley, to her hubby)
- A true love's kiss, perhaps?
- A bunch of trolls give each other kisses.
- Anna shivers again, collapsing into Kristoff's arms. More of
- her hair turns white.
- KRISTOFF
- Anna, we've got to get you back to
- Hans.
- ANNA
- (still weak)
- ...Hans.
- 88
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF
- Help us out, Sven.
- Kristoff grabs Sven's antlers. Sven pulls them out.
- Kristoff helps Anna onto Sven and hops up behind her.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Come on, Olaf!
- Sven takes off. Olaf grabs Sven's tail, rides with them.
- OLAF
- I'm coming! Let's go kiss Hans! Who
- is this Hans?!
- CUT TO:
- EXT. ELSA'S PALACE - DAWN
- Hans and the men tread cautiously towards the castle.
- HANS
- We are here to find Princess Anna.
- Be on guard, but no harm is to come
- to the Queen. Do you understand?
- The Duke's thugs exchange a look. Suddenly, a mass of snow
- rises from the ground behind Hans. It's Marshmallow, Elsa's
- snow guard.
- MARSHMALLOW
- Go away!
- He slams a fist inches from Hans. Hans deftly dodges out of
- the way. All of the guards take up arms against Marshmallow,
- who quickly knocks them over.
- Marshmallow throws down a guard and his horse, who topple
- over Hans. Marshmallow raises his foot to stomp on Hans, but
- Hans barrel-rolls himself to safety. He sees his sword,
- leaps, and grabs it.
- Just then, Elsa peeks out the front doors.
- The Duke's two thugs see her.
- DUKE'S THUG
- The Queen.
- The thugs charge up the stairs.
- 89
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- INT. ELSA'S PALACE -- DAY
- They guards burst through the ice doors.
- Elsa flees to the top floor of her palace. The guards pursue.
- They trap her on the top floor, raise their crossbows.
- ELSA
- (scared)
- No. Please.
- One of the thugs shoots an arrow right at Elsa. At the last
- moment she creates an ice wall. It stops the arrow, inches
- from her face.
- The thugs reposition to take another shot.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- Stay away!
- Elsa shoots ice at the thugs. They duck out of the way and
- continue the attack.
- THUG
- Get her! Get her!
- Elsa fights for her life.
- BACK OUTSIDE: Hans is nearly crushed by Marshmallow. He rolls
- away. Jumps to his feet. And with agile might, he slices
- Marshmallow's leg off with his sword. Marshmallow stumbles
- back, off balance. And falls off over the cliff, but not
- before striking Hans. Hans goes over the edge.
- REVEAL: Hans clings to the ice steps. His men help him up and
- they rush into the ice palace.
- INT. ICE PALACE -- DAY
- Elsa is surrounded. It's do or die. In two swift moves, Elsa
- traps one thug in a cage of spikes that threaten his neck.
- The other she pushes back with a wall of ice....up against
- the balcony doors...which BURST and CRACK.
- OUT ONTO THE BALCONY.... The balcony doors shatter. The thug
- is pushed to the edge. He's inches away from falling to his
- death.
- BACK INSIDE: Hans and his men run in. See the destruction and
- the thugs near death.
- 90
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- HANS
- Queen Elsa! Don't be the monster
- they fear you are.
- Elsa snaps out of her rage. She sees the men, frightened,
- moments from death. She stops. Elsa looks to Hans,
- overwhelmed, frightened.
- The wall retreats from the thug on the balcony. The ice
- spikes lower from the second thug's neck. He takes advantage
- and aims his crossbow at Elsa's back.
- Seeing it. Hans runs and pushes the crossbow up just as the
- arrow releases. The arrow hits the ice chandelier, hanging
- directly above Elsa.
- The chandelier comes CRASHING DOWN.
- Elsa dives out of the way but she falls in the blast.
- All we see is ice smashing like glass, and all we hear is the
- sound of it shattering as it rings out.
- CUT TO BLACK.
- FADE IN ON:
- Elsa's face as her eyes flutter open.
- She sits up. She's surrounded by stone.
- INT. ARENDELLE, DUNGEON -- DAY
- Elsa looks to the nearby window. Tries to rush to it. She's
- pulled taut by giant shackles that fit like iron gloves.
- She's chained to the wall.
- Elsa strains to looks out a window...
- INSET WINDOW: Arendelle is outside, frozen solid and getting
- further buried under the ice and snow that is falling.
- ELSA
- No....What have I done?
- Hans enters. He hangs a torch by the door.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- Why did you bring me here?
- HANS
- I couldn't just let them kill you.
- 91
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ELSA
- But I'm a danger to Arendelle. Get
- Anna.
- HANS
- Anna has not returned....
- Elsa looks to the storm with worry.
- HANS (CONT'D)
- If you would just stop the winter,
- bring back summer...please.
- Elsa meets his eyes, desperate.
- ELSA
- Don't you see...I can't.
- Hans sees the sincerity in her eyes.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- You have to tell them to let me go.
- Hans walks to the door. He takes the torch.
- HANS
- I will do what I can.
- He opens the door and leaves.
- Elsa, distraught, hears cracking. She looks down as her
- shackles begin to freeze over. The storm outside picks up.
- CUT TO:
- EXT. THE FJORDS -- DAY
- Sven charges down the mountain with Kristoff and Anna on his
- back. Olaf slides along beside them, penguin-style.
- Anna shivers in Kristoff's arms. She's weakening. Kristoff
- takes off his hat and puts it on her head.
- KRISTOFF
- Just hang in there.
- (to Sven)
- Come on, buddy, faster!
- They arrive at the walls of Arendelle. Olaf slides past them,
- out of control.
- OLAF
- I'll meet you guys at the castle!
- 92
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF
- Stay out of sight, Olaf!
- OLAF
- I will!
- He disappears into the village streets.
- OLAF (O.S.) (CONT'D)
- Hello!
- TOWNSWOMAN (O.S.)
- Ah! It's alive!
- CUT TO:
- EXT. CASTLE COURTYARD -- DAY
- Guards see Kristoff and Anna approaching.
- GUARD
- It's Princess Anna!
- Sven skids to a stop outside the gates. Kristoff slides off,
- holding Anna, and carries her to the gate.
- KRISTOFF
- I've got you.
- Anna looks up at him, gratefully.
- ANNA
- ...Are you g-gonna be okay?
- KRISTOFF
- (touched, reassuring)
- Don't worry about me.
- Just then the castle gates open. Gerda, Kai, and a handmaid
- rush to help Anna.
- GERDA
- Anna! Oh, you had us worried sick.
- KAI
- My Lady. You are freezing.
- GERDA
- You poor girl, you're freezing.
- Let's get you inside.
- 93
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- KRISTOFF
- Get her warm and find Prince Hans,
- immediately.
- KAI
- We will. Thank you.
- Anna is swept away from Kristoff and into the palace grounds.
- KRISTOFF
- Make sure she's safe!
- Kristoff is shut out as the castle gates close on him.
- Kristoff stands there with Sven for a beat, staring with
- worry at the closed gates.
- Finally, he sighs, turns and walks off. Sven reluctantly
- follows.
- CUT TO:
- INT. LIBRARY -- DAY
- Hans stands with the dignitaries and guards.
- HANS
- I'm going back out to look for
- Princess Anna.
- FRENCH DIGNITARY
- You cannot risk going out there
- again.
- HANS
- If anything happens to her--
- SPANISH DIGNITARY
- If anything happens to the
- Princess, you are all Arendelle has
- left.
- Hans hesitates, realizing how much this kingdom has come to
- depend on him. Is he really all they have left?
- Just then the door opens and Gerda and Kai bring in Anna.
- KAI
- He's in here. Prince Hans.
- HANS
- Anna.
- 94
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Hans rushes to Anna. She falls into his arms.
- HANS (CONT'D)
- You're so cold.
- ANNA
- (weak, but desperate)
- Hans, you have to kiss me.
- HANS
- What?
- ANNA
- Now. Here we go.
- She tries to kiss him, but is too weak to pull herself up in
- his arms.
- GERDA
- We'll give you two some privacy.
- Everyone shuffles out, leaving Hans and Anna alone.
- HANS
- What happened out there?
- ANNA
- Elsa struck me with her powers.
- HANS
- You said she'd never hurt you.
- ANNA
- I was wrong.
- Anna crumbles, weak.
- HANS
- Anna.
- Hans carries her to a couch, sets her down.
- ANNA
- (shivering more)
- She froze my heart and only an act
- of true love can save me.
- HANS
- (understanding)
- A true love's kiss.
- He takes her chin in his hand and gives her a tender smile.
- He leans in slowly...gently...
- 95
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Then he stops.
- HANS (CONT'D)
- Oh, Anna. If only there was someone
- out there who loved you.
- ANNA
- What?
- Hans gets up, leaving her there.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- ...You said you did.
- He goes to the window and shuts the curtains.
- HANS
- As thirteenth in line in my own
- kingdom, I didn't stand a chance. I
- knew I'd have to marry into the
- throne somewhere--
- ANNA
- What are you talking about?
- HANS
- (putting out the candles)
- As heir, Elsa was preferable, of
- course. But no one was getting
- anywhere with her. But you-
- ANNA
- Hans?
- HANS
- You were so desperate for love you
- were willing to marry me, just like
- that.
- Hans crosses the room, grabs a pitcher of water from a table
- and goes to the fireplace.
- HANS (CONT'D)
- I figured, after we married, I'd
- have to stage a little accident for
- Elsa.
- Hans pours the water on the fireplace, putting out the fire.
- Anna tries to stop him. She falls to the floor, weak.
- ANNA
- Hans. No, stop.
- 96
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- HANS
- But then she doomed herself, and
- you were dumb enough to go after
- her.
- ANNA
- Please.
- HANS
- (chuckles)
- All that's left now is to kill Elsa
- and bring back summer.
- Hans approaches Anna.
- ANNA
- ...You're no match for Elsa.
- He bends down, takes her chin in his hand again, this time
- not so gently.
- HANS
- No, you're no match for Elsa. I, on
- the other hand, am the hero who is
- going to save Arendelle from
- destruction.
- She wrenches her face out of his hands.
- ANNA
- (anger)
- You won't get away with this.
- Hans rises and crosses to the door.
- HANS
- Oh, I already have.
- Hans leaves and shuts her in, locking the door. Anna
- struggles to the door, yanks on the locked handle.
- ANNA
- (hoarse and weak)
- Please, somebody help.
- The rest of her hair turns white and she crumbles to the
- floor.
- CUT TO:
- 97
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- INT. COUNCIL CHAMBER -- NIGHT
- The Duke looks out the window at the growing snowstorm. He
- rubs his arms and shivers.
- DUKE
- It's getting colder by the minute.
- If we don't do something soon,
- we'll all freeze to death.
- Hans comes in, putting on his most distraught face.
- SPANISH DIGNITARY
- Prince Hans.
- HANS
- Princess Anna is...dead.
- VARIOUS DIGNITARIES
- What...? No.... Mon dieu.
- Hans stumbles, weak with grief. The men help him to a chair.
- DUKE
- What happened to her?
- HANS
- She was killed by Queen Elsa.
- DUKE
- Her own sister.
- HANS
- (really putting it on)
- At least we got to say our marriage
- vows...before she died in my arms.
- He bows his head in a brilliant display of teary grief.
- DUKE
- There can be no doubt now; Queen
- Elsa is a monster and we are all in
- grave danger.
- SPANISH DIGNITARY
- Prince Hans, Arendelle looks to
- you.
- Hans nods; he knows what he's being asked to do, and he'll do
- it with the perfect amount of authority and gravitas.
- 98
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- HANS
- With a heavy heart, I charge Queen
- Elsa of Arendelle with treason and
- sentence her to death.
- INT. ELSA'S DUNGEON -- DAY
- The cell ices over. Elsa looks out at the storm that is
- devastating Arendelle, then hears the guards approaching.
- GUARD (O.S.)
- She's dangerous. Move quickly and
- with resolve.
- Elsa pulls at her shackles. They crack. Just as the door
- busts open, the weight of the ice crumbles the walls. The men
- duck out of the way.
- Hans pushes his way into the room...sees...
- The back wall is blown open. Broken shackles rest on the
- floor. Elsa is gone.
- CUT TO:
- EXT. MOUNTAIN SLOPE -- DAY
- Kristoff heads into the mountains. Sven lags behind, not
- wanting to follow. He looks back at the kingdom, then shakes
- his head. Enough.
- He runs past Kristoff. Stops and turns to face him. He snorts
- and grunts.
- KRISTOFF
- What is it, buddy?
- Sven nudges Kristoff with his antlers.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Hey, watch it. What's wrong with
- you?
- Sven snorts with more conviction, moos, brays.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- (avoiding)
- ...I don't understand you when you
- talk like that.
- 99
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Kristoff tries to walk on ahead, but Sven uses his antlers to
- lift Kristoff off the ground.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Ah! Stop it! Put me down!
- Sven drops him hard then "yells" at him once more.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- No, Sven! We're not going back!
- Sven shakes his head, angrily.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- She's with her true love.
- Sven makes an "of-course-she-isn't" face. Kristoff gets it;
- he's made his point.
- Just then the wind picks up. Kristoff looks back at the
- kingdom. Sees a violent winter storm swirling over the
- castle. Sharp ice claws its way up the castle, encasing it.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Anna.
- Without hesitating, he dashes back down the mountain. Sven
- runs after him, catches up. Kristoff grabs Sven's harness and
- jumps onto his back.
- CUT TO:
- INT. LIBRARY -- NIGHT
- Anna shivers by the door. She looks up to see ice overtaking
- the ceiling.
- The door handle suddenly jiggles. Stops. Jiggles again.
- ANNA
- (barely a whisper)
- Help.
- CLICK. The door swings open. We see a carrot in the lock and
- hear a giggle of victory. Olaf takes the carrot, puts it back
- on his face. Then he sees Anna lying there.
- OLAF
- Anna. Oh no.
- He runs to the fireplace. Throws in some fresh wood,
- including one of his own arms, which he quickly rescues,
- before striking a match and relighting the fire.
- 100
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- Olaf? Olaf. Get away from there.
- OLAF
- Whoa! So this is heat....
- (considering)
- I love it.
- He reaches a twig finger toward the flames. It catches on
- fire.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- Ooh! But don't touch it!
- He shakes the flame out, as he rushes over to help Anna to
- the fire.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- So, where's Hans? What happened to
- your kiss?
- ANNA
- I was wrong about him. It wasn't
- true love.
- OLAF
- (confused innocence)
- Huh. But we ran all the way here?
- ANNA
- Please Olaf, you can't stay here;
- you'll melt.
- OLAF
- I am not leaving here until we find
- some other act of true love to save
- you.
- He sits down behind her, stubbornly. Leans his back against
- hers and thinks.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- ...Do you happen to have any ideas?
- ANNA
- I don't even know what love is.
- OLAF
- (confident)
- That's okay, I do....
- Olaf hops back up and puts a soothing hand on her shoulder.
- 101
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- Love is...putting someone else's
- needs before yours, like, you know,
- how Kristoff brought you back here
- to Hans and left you forever.
- ANNA
- ...Kristoff loves me?
- OLAF
- Wow, you really don't know anything
- about love, do you?
- His face starts to melt.
- ANNA
- Olaf, you're melting.
- OLAF
- (sweet and reassuring)
- Some people are worth melting for.
- But then...his face REALLY melts. He panics, pushes the snow
- back in place.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- Just maybe not right this second.
- Suddenly, the window blows open, cold wind sweeps in.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- Don't worry, I've got it!
- Olaf flitters to the window. He pulls one panel of it shut
- but struggles with the second panel.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- (determined)
- We're going to get through--
- (distracted)
- Oh, wait. Hang on. I'm getting
- something.
- He breaks an icicle off the window, uses it as a telescope
- and sees...
- Kristoff and Sven running back down the mountain.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- It's Kristoff and Sven! They're
- coming back this way.
- ANNA
- ...They-they are?
- 102
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- OLAF
- Wow, he's really moving fast.
- Huh.... I guess I was wrong. I
- guess Kristoff doesn't love you
- enough to leave you behind.
- Anna tries to get to her feet.
- ANNA
- Help me up, Olaf. Please.
- He hurries over, tumbling over the couch, knocking over the
- chess set and water jugs.
- OLAF
- No, no, no, no, no. You need to
- stay by the fire and keep warm.
- ANNA
- I need to get to Kristoff.
- OLAF
- (clueless)
- Why...?
- (realizing)
- Oh, oh, oh, I know why.
- He hops around in an excited display of hope.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- There's your act of true love,
- right there, riding across the
- fjords like a valiant, pungent
- reindeer king! Come on!
- The walls crack under the ice pressure.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- Look out!
- They rush out the room just as the ceiling collapses.
- INT. CASTLE HALLWAY -- DAY
- Anna and Olaf struggle down the hall. Ice spikes grow and
- block their path.
- OLAF
- We're trapped.
- Anna looks around desperately for a way out.
- 103
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- EXT. FJORD -- DAY
- Elsa runs, but is nearly blinded by the snow and wind.
- EXT. CASTLE -- DAY
- Anna and Olaf bust open a window. The storm is so strong it
- sweeps the window panes away.
- OLAF
- Slide, Anna.
- It's a long, snowy way down. But what choice do they have?
- They slide down the iced-covered building.
- Anna arrives at the bottom, weak but uninjured. Olaf gathers
- snow along the way. He arrives at the bottom as a giant
- snowball.
- OLAF (CONT'D)
- We made it!
- He shakes off the extra snow as Anna struggles to her feet.
- EXT. FJORD -- DAY
- Kristoff and Sven bound off the mountain and sprint across
- the frozen fjord waters and right into the heart of the
- storm. Its white-out wind pushes them back. But they fight
- through.
- KRISTOFF
- Come on, buddy, faster.
- CUT TO:
- Anna and Olaf reach the shore of the fjords.
- ANNA
- Kristoff!
- The wind lifts Olaf up and pulls him apart. He goes swirling
- off into the storm.
- OLAF
- Keep going, Anna!
- Anna struggles on.
- 104
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- Kristoff!
- PAN TO:
- Kristoff rides Sven past cracking, frozen ships. Sven
- struggles over the uneven surface.
- KRISTOFF
- Come on! Come on!
- Suddenly, a mangled ship, risen by ice, capsizes over them.
- They give it all they've got as debris falls all around them
- and the mast shatters. They make it past just as the entire
- ship slams down and cracks the thick ice beneath their feet.
- The ice opens up. Sven bravely jumps over a gap. But it's too
- wide. He bucks Kristoff to safety, but lands in the freezing
- water and disappears below.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Sven? Sven!
- At first there's nothing but the wind and the tumbling icy
- water. But suddenly, Sven surfaces and claws his way to a
- floating ice chunk. He calls out, signalling for Kristoff to
- go on.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- Good boy.
- CUT TO:
- Anna moves blindly across the fjord. Anna's hands frost over
- an icy blue. She stumbles on, determined. But she's running
- out of time.
- She clutches her chest. The color in her eyes fades, the
- inevitable is coming.
- CUT TO:
- Kristoff, lost in the white-out, doesn't know which way to
- turn. But then he hears a faint--
- ANNA (O.S.)
- Kristoff.
- KRISTOFF
- Anna...? Anna!
- WHITE OUT TO:
- 105
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Elsa struggles through her own storm, but the fear is
- consuming her. A dark shadow approaches. It's Hans.
- HANS
- Elsa. You can't run from this!
- Elsa backs away from him.
- ELSA
- ...Just take care of my sister.
- HANS
- Your sister? She returned from the
- mountain weak and cold. She said
- you froze her heart.
- ELSA
- What? No.
- HANS
- I tried to save her, but it was too
- late. Her skin was ice. Her hair
- turned white...
- Elsa's face sinks as she realizes what she has done.
- HANS (CONT'D)
- Your sister is dead... because of
- you.
- Elsa drops to her knees, emotionally broken. And with that,
- the swirling storm suddenly stops. The snow freezes mid-air,
- hangs suspended, trapped in grief.
- Citizens and dignitaries rush to the wall's edge and look out
- to see...
- Anna, barely able to move but now able to see across the
- fjords to...
- ANNA
- (a whisper)
- Kristoff.
- KRISTOFF
- Anna.
- Anna pushes on towards Kristoff. He runs top speed towards
- her. There's still a lot of fjord to cross, but Kristoff is
- giving it all he's got. He's going to make it.
- But then, Anna hears the sound of a sword being drawn from
- its scabbard. She turns and sees Hans, behind Elsa, as he
- raises his sword over his head.
- 106
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ANNA
- Elsa.
- Anna looks back at Kristoff as he runs for her. She gives him
- a longing look, but then turns away from him and then...
- Using all of her remaining strength, as Hans brings his sword
- down, Anna throws herself in front of Elsa.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- No!
- In that instant, Anna freezes to solid ice. The sword hits
- her instead of Elsa. The sword shatters completely. The force
- of it sends Hans flying back and knocks him out.
- ELSA
- Anna!
- Elsa rushes to Anna and touches her sister's frozen face.
- ELSA (CONT'D)
- Oh, Anna...no...no, please no.
- Olaf walks up and sees Anna, frozen.
- OLAF
- (confused, sad)
- Anna?
- Elsa hugs Anna and cries.
- Kristoff watches in shocked despair. Sven steps up to his
- side.
- Citizens and dignitaries on the castle walls bow their heads.
- All of Arendelle is joined in somber silence.
- But then, Anna warms. She begins to thaw.
- Olaf looks up and gasps. Kristoff and Sven notice, light up.
- Anna bends her arm and embraces Elsa.
- ELSA
- Wha-? Anna?
- Anna opens her eyes. She smiles at Elsa, relieved.
- ANNA
- Oh, Elsa.
- They embrace.
- 107
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- ELSA
- ...You sacrificed yourself for me?
- ANNA
- (weak)
- ...I love you.
- Olaf realizes what's happened. He's so excited about it, he
- lifts his head right off his body and exclaims--
- OLAF
- An act of true love will thaw a
- frozen heart.
- ELSA
- (processing)
- Love...will thaw...
- (realizing)
- Love.... Of course.
- Elsa looks at Anna with confidence.
- ANNA
- Elsa?
- ELSA
- Love.
- Elsa lifts her arms, and the ground shakes and cracks. The
- ice and snow breaks away and rises high into the air.
- Beneath their feet the bow of a ship thaws.
- The entire fjord melts and other boats right themselves.
- The villagers come out to see the warmth returning.
- In one final wave, Elsa draws all of the snow into a giant
- snowflake in the sky, then waves it away, leaving only a warm
- summer day.
- ANNA
- I knew you could do it.
- OLAF
- (melting, good-naturedly)
- Hands down, this is the best day of
- my life...and quite possibly the
- last.
- ELSA
- Oh, Olaf. Hang on, little guy.
- 108
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Elsa waves her hand and surrounds Olaf with a swirl of cold
- air. He refreezes. Above his head she leaves a little,
- perpetually-snowing storm cloud. Olaf loves it.
- OLAF
- Hey, my own personal flurry.
- Kristoff sees Hans trying to get to his feet. He marches
- toward him, prepared for a fight. But Anna puts up a hand and
- stops him.
- ANNA
- Uh. Uh. Uh.
- She'll handle this. She goes over to Hans.
- HANS
- (confused)
- Anna? But she froze your heart.
- ANNA
- The only frozen heart around here
- is yours.
- She turns away from him, proud of her words. But not yet
- satisfied, she turns back and punches him right in the face.
- HANS
- Ah! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- He falls overboard.
- Elsa comes over to Anna and hugs her. Over her shoulder,
- Kristoff meets Anna's eyes. She smiles brighter, happy.
- DISSOLVE TO:
- EXT. ARENDELLE -- DAY
- It's a beautiful summer day. The mighty ships have been
- repaired and are sailing away.
- On one of the ships, HANS is thrown into a brig.
- FRENCH DIGNITARY
- (to Kai)
- I will return this scoundrel to his
- country. We shall see what his
- twelve big brothers think of his
- behavior.
- KAI
- Arendelle thanks you, my Lord.
- 109
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Down on the dock, Arendelle guards lead the Duke and his two
- thugs to their ship.
- DUKE
- This is unacceptable. I am
- innocent. I'm a victim of fear.
- I've been traumatized.
- (bad acting)
- Ow! My neck hurts. Is there a
- doctor I could...No? And I demand
- to see the Queen!
- Kai steps down from the gangplank to the dock.
- KAI
- I have a message from the Queen.
- (reading a scroll)
- Arendelle will henceforth and
- forever no longer do business of
- any sort with Weaseltown.
- DUKE
- Weselton. It's Weselton!
- The guards usher him and his thugs onto their ship.
- EXT. VILLAGE SQUARE -- DAY
- Anna runs through the crowd, pulling a blindfolded Kristoff
- along behind her. She's so excited she can't stand it.
- ANNA
- Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on!
- She runs him right into a pole.
- KRISTOFF
- Pole.
- ANNA
- Oops. Sorry.
- EXT. ARENDELLE DOCKS -- DAY
- Anna skips to the perfect spot and stops.
- ANNA
- (stopping)
- Okay. Okay. Here we are.
- 110
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- She takes off the blindfold. Kristoff opens his eyes. Before
- him sits the most beautiful, suped-up sled. Sven poses in
- front of it -- Vanna White-style.
- ANNA (CONT'D)
- I owe you a sled.
- KRISTOFF
- (blown away)
- Are you serious?
- ANNA
- Yes. And it's the latest model.
- KRISTOFF
- No. I can't accept this...
- ANNA
- You have to. No returns. No
- exchanges. Queen's orders. She's
- named you the official Arendelle
- Ice Master and Deliverer.
- Sven shows off the Ice-Master-and-Deliverer medal like he's
- king of the bucks.
- KRISTOFF
- What? That's not a thing.
- But he can't help but admire her enthusiasm.
- ANNA
- Sure it is. And it even has a cup
- holder.... Do you like it?
- KRISTOFF
- Like it?
- He sweeps her up high overhead and spins her around.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- I love it.... I could kiss you!
- He drops her, suddenly embarrassed.
- KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
- ...I could. I mean I'd like to.
- I'd... may I? We me....I mean, may
- we? Wait, what?
- She gives him a quick kiss on the cheek.
- ANNA
- We may.
- 111
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- He smiles and goes for it. It's a true love's kiss, alright.
- We move past them to find Olaf enjoying the summer.
- With his snow cloud safely overhead, he's free to smell the
- flowers, which he does. Then sneezes his carrot nose off.
- Sven catches it between his teeth. Olaf gasps as Sven sucks
- the whole carrot into his mouth. It's gone.
- Olaf's face sinks in sadness. But not to fear, Sven spits the
- carrot back out and jams it into Olaf's face where it
- belongs. It's completely covered in reindeer spit, but Olaf
- doesn't seem to mind. He hugs Sven happily.
- CUT TO:
- EXT. CASTLE COURTYARD -- DAY
- The gates to the castle are wide open. In the courtyard,
- stands Elsa.
- ELSA
- Are you ready?
- Villagers cheer. Elsa stops and creates an ice rink. The
- people, skates at the ready, hope onto it and twirl about.
- Elsa then freezes the fountain in a beautiful design and adds
- some snow flurries for atmosphere.
- Anna comes slipping in. Elsa catches her.
- ANNA
- I like the open gates.
- ELSA
- We are never closing them again.
- Elsa then waves her hand and magical ice skates (literally
- made of ice) form on Anna's boots.
- ANNA
- What? Oh, Elsa, they're beautiful,
- but you know I don't ska--
- Elsa grabs Anna's hands and pulls her along on the ice. Anna
- slips and slides, but laughs in delight.
- Sven goes slipping past. Kristoff runs after him.
- KRISTOFF
- Look out. Reindeer coming through!
- 112
- FROZEN - J. Lee
- Olaf skates and helps Elsa coach Anna.
- OLAF
- That's it. Glide and pivot and
- glide and pivot.
- We pull away slowly, into the sky. We arrive at a bird's-eye
- view to see that where the castle had crumbled has been
- repaired with a ice.
- All is right in Arendelle.
- FINAL FADE OUT.
- THE END
