Frozen 3 was recently showcased at the National Film Promotion Conference in Xiamen, China! If you look closely at the new 'Frozen 3' logo, the North Mountain is actually visible in the background. Also, if you follow Frozen's merchandise and branding evolution, you might have noticed that Elsa's ice palace is almost always featured behind Anna and Elsa nowadays. They’re likely hinting at its return in the third movie. What do you guys think?

You might be onto something here... At first I couldn't see the north mountain behind the Frozen 3 logo but upon closer inspection I can just barely see it. And the North Mountain is visible in a lot of merchandise lately and with that a lot of pink and blue gradient like your examples. There was a pink gradient on the other logo leaked for Frozen 3:

If Frozen 3 is set in Spring, as implied with the blurred cherry blossom trees behind it, then the pink could be representing Spring and maybe another element in the movie. It could also be representing Anna. In both movies she wears a pink purple cape and blue would obviously be representing Elsa.

But back to the ice palace, if it's being promoted a lot, it means it'll have a key role in the upcoming movie which is good because that, and Elsa's dress, represents the moment Elsa accepted her powers after hiding it in. So perhaps this journey they go on is one that requires reflection and revisits.

The banner used for Frozen 3 in your first image is giving Frozen 1 vibes. If you stuck the first Frozen logo on there and said it's a banner from Frozen 2, I'd believe you. Pink and blue were also used for Frozen 1's merchandising. So basically they'll be revisiting old and familiar places (as seen in the banner) as well as going to new ones (as seen in concept art).

Frozen 2's theme was changed and that hit hard for many. The vibe of the movie was very different from the first and so much within the characters changed dramatically. Elsa and Anna became the Fifth Spirit which currently meant Elsa staying behind in the forest with a whole new look and Anna becoming Queen. Olaf became wiser and smarter, Kristoff because King Consort and Sven found other reindeer. Frozen 3 seems to be at a similar time to Frozen 1, though it's hard to tell as of yet, especially as officially marketing hasn't started yet. But that's interesting to see them use the north mountain, the ice castle, and blue and pink shades.

The Heroine's Journey

I'd want to touch upon Elsa's path in Frozen 2 from the point of view of the Hero's Journey theory based on the works of J.Campbell on Monomyth (and I will touch a little upon Anna and Kristoff's part) A quest for a hero is divided into several steps or stages. Not all stories follow them literally, but I find that Frozen 2 up corresponded quite well with the theory.

The first step: The Call to Adventure ✔

Elsa literally receives the call that calls her to go into the unknown from her usual life and to leave the kingdom.

(Anna and Kristoff do not receive such a call, but only follow Elsa, although Kristoff's words "it feels like the future is calling" reflect the situation for all of them.

The second step: Rejecting the Call ✔

"I'm blocking out your calls"; "I've had my adventure, I don't need something new".

(Anna tried to rely on certain familiar things, not noticing that they were changing before her eyes. She didn't want to let Elsa go alone. Kristoff at first refuses to give the sledge and Sven)

Step 3: Supernatural Help ✔

The appearance of the trolls that hinted to them about the essence of what is happening with the kingdom.

Step 4: Crossing the Threshold ✔

The wall of mist that separated the ordinary realm from the Enchanted Forest. The Monoliths with the signs of the elements.

Step 5: The Belly of the Whale ✔

Elsa was able to pass through the wall, and plunged into the Forest with all its wonders and dangers. After passing the threshold, the hero often meets new people – helpers. For Elsa these were Northuldrians and Arendellians, who give her information and tips for The Journey.

Step 6: The Road of Trials ✔

"A series of tests, tasks or ordeals that the hero must undergo to begin the transformation".

Elsa fights with three spirits, showing what she is capable of. She and Anna are able to find the clues left by the parents.

(Kristoff saves the reindeers, and then Anna from the earth giants. Anna destroys the dam.)

Step 7: Meeting with the Goddess, which represents unconditional love and motherhood ✔

Snow statue of Iduna. The meeting with the memory of Iduna and Ahtohallan the Goddess.

Step 8: Temptation ✔

Maybe this is Elsa's temptation to not go that far. Maybe, after finding the shipwreck, for a moment she was tempted to give up everything. Anna's attempts to stop Elsa.

Step 9: Atonement with the Father which represents the questions of power and authority ✔

Elsa learns the truth about Agnarr's past and Runeard's deeds. The question of power that Elsa faces is her royal status, which she received thanks to Agnarr and Runeard. She symbolically opposed the power of Runeard and atones for his sins.

Step 10: Apocatastasis or restoration. Revelation ✔

"When the hero dies a physical death...he or she moves beyond the pairs of opposites to a state of divine knowledge..."

Elsa gained the truth, got a mystical experience with Ahtohallan, was transformed into The Fifth Spirit and died.

(Anna, meanwhile, is coping with the consequences of the death and destroys the dam. By this she also atoned for the sins of the fathers and gained wisdom: even if all is lost just do the next right thing.)

Step 11: The Ultimate Boon ✔

The curse is broken, the Forest is liberated, Elsa has been resurrected and the castle has not washed away. Now she is completely free and in peace with herself.

And that's where the divergence with the Hero's Journey Theory begins. Elsa breaks through the limits of the Theory here, and the circle has been closed, because she has two homes.

Step 12: Refusal of Return ✴

"Having found bliss and enlightment in the other world, the hero may not want to return to the ordinary world to bestow the boon into his fellow men".

Elsa decided to stay with the Spirits and Achtohallan and did not return to the old home, because the Forest and Ahtohallan and Northuldra are the true home, that home where she had to return initially, since the time she was born. If she refused to stay here, then it would be The Refusal, because her presence in the Forest and her role as the Ruler of Nature Elements, Keeper of the Forest, Seer of Ahtohallan is that bestow of the boon into her fellow people: the Northuldra–the scene with Yealana and Honeymaren. (Anna, as the other side of a bridge returns to bestow the boon into Arendellians–the scene with Mattias and the soldiers.)

Elsa turns The Journey inside out and completes the circle. We see that the circle of The Monomyth is divided into three sections. The first, outward line of Elsa's Journey follows the scenario: Separation(she needs to save Arendelle); Initiation(fighting with the Spirits); Return(returning to life)

But then, since Elsa completed not only the Journey in the outside world, but also an inner spiritual Journey, then her inner line goes the another way. Having found the true home intended for her by the birthright, the sections of The Monomyth circle go the another way around: Separation was with the Forest and Achtohallan; Initiation(she discovered the truth about her status as the chosen one); and Returning to where she is meant to be: in the Forest, with Achtohallan, Northuldra and the Spirits.

(Step 13 is optional)

Step 14: Rescue from Without ✔

"Oftentimes the here needs a powerful guide who brings him/her back to life, especially if the person was wounded or weakened by the experience".

Anna was her rescuer, who helped Elsa to return to her true new home: because she completed the mission. Elsa was resurrected by Achtohallan.

Step 15: The Return Treshold ✔

Returning to The Monoliths, (scene when she hugged Anna) was The Return Threshold for Elsa. When she resurrected, she carried with her "all the wisdom obtained in the quest to share it with the rest of the world". The wisdom of the both worlds: spiritual and human.

Now Elsa has the connection with her old home and its people and the new home with its people and beings; she has learned both, and truly is The Master of Two Worlds: the ruler of nature, the ruler of people.

(After doing the next right thing in the Forest and using the spirits for her own purposes, Anna got influence on the Forest: a semi-master of that world. After that, she receives the status of the queen and marriage, coming back with new powers and acquisitions. She is now the Master of Arendelle.)

The last steps, Master of Two Worlds ✔ and Freedom to Live ✔

We can see Freedom to Live in the final scene, where Elsa rides Nokk with pleasure breathing fresh air("not anticipating the future")

(Anna and Kristoff now live a happy live "in the moment...not regretting the past".

What we know about Frozen III, so far...

Deep Freeze -> Semi Freeze -> Frozen Snow

(Is Elsa getting weaker or it's Arendelle gettting warmer?)

"Frozen 3 is coming. And from what I've seen so far of the film, I think people are going to be surprised. I can't give away too many spoilers, other than to say that Jennifer Lee is leading the charge and that the story and the direction that she's taking these characters, what they're going through, what they're going to go through, I think it's going to surprise a lot of people, but it's also going to deliver on everything that people love about Frozen." - Jared Bush

"Well, whenever we think about is there more story to tell, we think about what questions do we still have. And today I got to show just page one of some of the questions we still had. And that made us realize we actually have two movies" - Jennifer Lee

*Frozen 3 directors Jennifer Lee and Trent Correy have strongly hinted that Anna and Kristoff’s wedding will be a major plot point.

While visiting the World of Frozen, Lee teased "big wedding plans" for the couple following their engagement in the previous film

(Who's the mysterious new member? Can't be Anna's child if it's described as mysterious. Is the new family member a point of conflict between the sisters? Will Anna trust them but Elsa will be suspicious as hell? Who is doing all the welcoming? Btw it doesn't seem there's a big time gap between F2 and F3)

*A new, untitled Frozen short film is scheduled for release in October 2026. Announced by Disney Consumer Products, it acts as a lead-in to Frozen 3 and is part of a major marketing campaign.

One funny thing is we discovered bubble gum existed then, so we were like, “Oh good! We can use that!” But also when you were taking photos or painting portraits, you had to hold a smile for a minute. So yeah, we had fun with all those little moments. - Jennifer Lee

The Art Of Frozen III

One of my most anticipated things about the post launch of Frozen 3 has to be the 'Art Of Frozen III' book. My passion is art, specifically drawing. I used to draw tons of Frozen drawings. And so to have my hands on the Art of Frozen/ 2 books is amazing! I can't see all kinds of concept art and learn about some of the scenes. But the book isn't just for artists like myself. It's for all Frozen fans because then you can see concept art which can reveal things about characters and places. And if you've been meaning to make a post on let's say the architecture of the buildings, the book helps you with that too.

But I can't wait to see the alternative outfits and hairstyles for the characters of Frozen 3, full designs of some rooms of the castle (if the movie has important scenes in the castle), and so much more!

This post was also for you guys; if you guys want to see anything from the Art of Frozen and Frozen 2 books, (because maybe you weren't able to get your hands on it or you need to see something specifically from it) then do tell me in the Ask box and let me help you by sharing some images and info of it.

Also if you're a fan of these books, what are you excited to see from the Art of Frozen III'?

The irony for me when it comes to Anna hate is how every time I see it I feel the urge to indulge myself in Anna content as a comfort. So, like... every time you hate/"critique" Anna you're just actively increasing the love Anna fans have for her.

Congrats, you played yourself, I guess??

With F3 coming up in 1.5 years (and the marketing probably starting up in about a year) I really need to mentally prepare myself. As someone who's been here since 2013 I've seen/heard it all and I officially have zero patience left for Anna hate/"critiques", because none of you actually care about analysing her character.
