FROZEN CANONICITY : A FROZEN HEART BOOK
Except for the Conceal Don't Feel Twisted tale, I like to consider all Frozen books canon to a certain extent, especially the ones for older readers.
Though we know for certains the F2 themed novels were approved by the creators, A Frozen Heart, which not only was the first adult novel to be published about Frozen but also one of the only media tackling Hans' character, doesn't seem to have had the same treatment, despite some of its events being referenced in Polar Nights and All is Found (I believe I read somewhere the filmakers didn't know about the book, correct me if I'm wrong).
But some things seem to contradict the "official" canon material, which I'll try to debunk as best as I can.
Hans' age
A Frozen Heart mentions Hans being 17 when Anna is 15, meaning he would be around 21 (depending the time of year he was born) during the coronation:
Yet, in a tweet published not long after the release of F1, Jennifer Lee revealed the age of Hans:
... Or did she? She said "I THINK he's 23", not "he is 23", like the way she affirmed Anna and Elsa's birthdays for example. It was never something the filmakers really thought about, except that Hans was in his twenties. Also, her answer is kind of humorous.
2) Kai's contradicting personality
One detail I saw no one mentioning was the portraying of Kai in A Frozen Heart VS Dangerous Secrets. Sure, he's not such a deep character, yet the two books seem to clash about Kai's perception of commoners marrying into royalty, and of love stories in general:
In "A Frozen Heart":
In "Dangerous Secrets":
Kinda hard to find a logical explanation for this one. Did Kai change his mind afterwards? Why would he approve of Iduna but make clear for Anna he disapproves mixed marriages? I still find kind of ironic that Elizabeth Rutnick insists on "Kai wouldn't know a great love story if he saw one" because he saw Agduna right away! Also I like the idea of Kai seeming uptight at first glance but being so human and romantic and supportive inside. Could also be Anna misinterpreting Kai's reaction because she believes to be the only one to understand love lol.
Speaking of Anna's perceptions...
3) Hans' eye color (+Sitron)
We can all agree Hans is a redhead with green eyes, and Sitron is a Fjord horse cream colored:
But here's how Anna sees them in A Frozen Heart:
But let's remember Anna lives in the perfect fairy tale dream - so she only sees what she wants to see. She can't even remember Hans' eyes when Kristoff interrogates her! She's just picturing the eprfect prince charming with a white steed.
4) Iduna and Agnarr leaving period
We all know the tragic "See you in two weeks!" Anna says to her parents before they leave for the Dark Sea.
Yet in A Frozen Heart, it's more of a whole month:
I guess she isn't talking about her parents' departure then? But about the delay Gerda gave her to clean her room? Or until her 15th birthday? Can't really explain this one either, except a typing error.
5) Ballroom balcony
A Frozen Heart suggests the ballroom has a balcony on which Anna and Hans eat krumkakes before singing "Love is an Open Door". I debunked in a previous post how this balcony can't be located in the ballroom since it's clearly not on the ground floor. This Arendelle castle plan from A Frozen World confirms it:
And yet again, in a Frozen Heart:
Let's say this balcony is "a few feet away" but vertically! So not really the direct ballroom balcony.
__________________________________________________________
So? Is A Frozen Heart canon or not? I'll say apart from these inconcistencies I'll go for a YES - all elements that don't directly contradict official material is canon for me, filmakers approval or not.
What do you think?
#3 TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THE ARENDELLE CASTLE CONVOLUTED ARCHITECTURE
It's time to talk about Arendelle's castle biggest mystery: the north balcony (or the "Into the Unknown" balcony if you prefer).
First, a bit of history about this balcony... that didn't exist in F1.
That's right! Even though we don't see the north side of the castle much in the first movie, the balcony just doesn't seem to exist at all, instead we have a roof and wooden walls, just below the triangular stained glass:
Also, F2 makes it clear that the north balcony depends on the Council Chamber, which already had windows in F1:
Seems to match, right? So far, so good. Only one problem: the balcony appears a lot smaller compared to later in F2 at the end of "All is Found":
How can we tell it's supposed to be the same balcony? They both face north, and we can't see any other balcony above this one. Also the room behind is the same.
Sure, there's a balcony below, but no windows, and it's too low for Elsa to see the fjord:
We can still verify on OFA and FF screencaps:
See? No ITU balcony here either. So we can deduce the 2 north balconies were built AFTER Frozen Fever.
WHICH is where we could start to find an explanation. Remember in my previous post, we could never define clearly what was behind the West balcony windows (since we established we only see it briefly at the end of "Love is An Open Door" and the balcony at the beginning of the song is in fact Anna and Elsa's parents bedroom.
WHAT IF the council chamber was originatelly located on the west side, explaining also why dignitaries would retire there during the ball? The windows do seem to match:
So no balcony on the north side until F2, which required one for the plot of Elsa being called by Ahtohallan. Which means it was built later, and the Council Chamber was moved there.
SURE, but doesn't explain the change in the balcony's size, right?
And why has the wooden structure disappeared? It should be right below the balcony! Sure, it could have been removed between FF and F2, but yet it appeats on F2 wide angle shots during the flood:
Weird, right?
Well... I wouldn't be so sure!
See, it's easy to assume the charades night happens the same evening as the harvest festival. But in fact, we never get a CANON confirmation it does. Even "Forest of Shadows" remains vague about it. They say they want to restablish the game night tradition and them BOOM! epilogue.
Ok, there's this Kristoff line which says "are you telling me TONIGHT you're gonna get down on one knee". But maybe Kristoff didn't find the right time or already tried to ask to Anna without success (would become a leitmotiv!) So what if they removed the wooden structure to facilitate the work, rebuilt the balcony in the week between (timeline according to FOS) and replaced the wooden structure, all with help of a little magic of course? Would also give more time for Elsa to hear the voice, giving more impact to her dilemna!
So there! Problem resolved 😂 I'm fully aware all the things I mentionned previously were probably mistakes from the animators, because this is a hard job and we should never blame them for that, even more in a franchise so rich in its environment as Frozen! These people are working hard to bring our beloved Arendelle to life and they've done an awesome job in its wordbuilding. My goal was only to make all these mistakes explainable lore-wise, especially considering it's a universe where things get built and destroyed easily (the castle, the dam, Elsa's ice palace).
BONUS : ANNA ON THE BALCONY
We face another continuity problem as soon as Anna arrives on the north balcony. Not in the number of windows or the size of the balcony, but in the background which isn't the Council Chamber anymore, but Elsa's room:
And yes, fair enough, she could be on Elsa's room balcony. Alas! the windows don't match:
Could be the West balcony I guess? If we follow my theory that the Council chamber has been displaced between F1 and F2, we don't know what's behind it now, and if it hasn't been reshaped as well!
This scene seems to have been reworked multiple times, because in the first teaser trailer the background DID match the Council Chamber... but with the old shape of the West balcony. AAAAGH!
But considering the teaser was mostly animated only for Internet according to the making off, we can pass on that.
But then, if Anna opens the West balcony, then she teleports on the North side: you can spot her (but only if you zoom closely) standing there looking at Elsa when her sister turns back and crashes the crystals:
Yet "Forest of Shadows" tells us Anna opens the balcony of Elsa's room (with Iduna's scarf btw) and we know for a fact it was written during the film's production, so maybe they couldn't decide which balcony Anna would stand on and they mixed up the two.
#2 TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THE ARENDELLE CASTLE CONVOLUTED ARCHITECTURE
Following my last post about trying to figure out the continuity between the Great Hall and the castle exterior, I'll focus this time on the East façade balconies.
Since we don't get a close look of those balconies neither in F1 or F2, I'll use a FF screencap. This post will serve to solve some apparent continuity errors spotted in both movies
STARTING WITH THE "LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR" BALCONY
We all assumed the balcony Anna and Hans sit on is on the West side.
After all we can spot it numerous times throughout the franchise, and it's recongnizable in F1 with the purple flowers hanging on it:
But there's one little problem with that: when Hans sings "I've been searching my own life" he points out... to Arendelle village, AKA the EAST side.
So, since we never clearly see the east façade in F1, we can assume they're in fact sitting on the parents bedroom balcony, which was also decorated with purple flowers for the occasion. So the balcony showed at the end of LIAOD isn't the same one seen at the beginning of the song despite the flowers (explaining also why we suddenly see people behind) because they're showing West side this time, probably for a cinematic effect to show Anna and Hans are back at the castle where there's a lot of people:
Why can't it be the same balcony? Simply because you can see on the left of West balcony a tinier balcony with two big windows:
While the East parents balcony has on its left side a tinier balcony with one big window flanked by two small windows (where Elsa sings during FTFTIF facing the east side of town):
This is confirmed by this brief shot at the end of F1 and FF:
BUT WAIT A SECOND! What about THESE windows seen briefly in F1 looking at the fjord? Plus with TWO rows of windows on two levels!
It appears to belong to a hall similar to the Great Hall. I say "similar", because it can't be the same we see in OFA since the windows are clearly not on the ground floor. In my head there are actually two similar "Great Hall" rooms in the castle (one surelevated where Anna sings in FTFTIF and where Elsa say goobye to her parents with only one windowed side, and the one in OFA):
ELEVATED HALL: no doors on each side of the staircaise, no windows on the left side of the hall.
GREAT HALL (AKA OFA HALL): doors on each side of the stairs, windows on each side of the walls, floorground (see my previous analysis about the Great Hall HERE.)
So, looking back at the double rowed balconies of the elevated hall, we could assume it's located on this hidden balcony we never clearly saw before because of the ice decorations, just below the parents bedroom balcony:
Sure the roof would hide a bit the view but that's my best bet.
BONUS: LOCATING THIS FF BALCONY
I first thought this was the West balcony without its pillars but if you look closely at the wallpaper behind... it's the same color as in Iduna and Agnarr's bedroom in F1 (the lighting is different though).
AND if we want to go further, we can deduce Elsa moved to her parents room and redesigned its interior and balcony (probably because it was too similar to the West balcony lol) AFTER FF, in which we can still see her in her "purple" bedroom with a triangular window:
Btw some fans thought Elsa's bed in FF was different from F1, but we can easily tell it's still her same old black bed with purple covers (which she kept for her new bedroom in F2). It's the candle casting light on the headboard that makes it look less black (another case of realistic lighting confusing things, see my post on young Iduna HERE). What changed however is the bed's position in the chamber (like Anna's in OFA, but I don't see it as inconcistencies. Who never moved their bed around their room?)
Aaaand I think I'm finished with this one! My goal is to make Arendelle's castle less incoherent for the fans, even though we can't escape few inconcistencies here and there. Next time I'll tackle a more tricky one - the north side and the Council Chambers balcony. In the meantime, tell me what you think!
#1 TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THE ARENDELLE CASTLE CONVOLUTED ARCHITECTURE
We see a lot of balconies and windows inside the castle. But where are they on the exterior? Does it match the interior? Can we make sense of all of these "inconcistencies"?
In this post I'll try to be as precise as possible locating all these emplacements.
Many thanks to @frozensunflowersandlilies @virtual-winter @lovewillthaw-j for inspiring this invesgtigation and facilitating my research!
Let's start with what bugged me the most: these rows of rectangular windows on each side of the Great Hall which doesn't seem to match what we see of the exterior:
Plus, there's this door above the windows that suggests the castle just doesn't stop there, and I don't belive the animorts could have overlooked something this big:
Before making sense of this, let's focus on this similar row of windows we see in those 2 shots in F1 set in the ballroom, on the left side of the throne:
We could think these windows are in fact linked to this balcony where Anna and Hans talk before "Love is An Open Door", except that what we see behind them isn't the ballroom but a chamber or a salon:
Sure, this shot after LIAOD suggests this is the ballroom's balcony, but it's more of a cinematic choice I belive (and guests could easily have retired in this room to take a break from the ball):
What I do believe is that the ballroom is located on the ground floor and that an open corridor separates the ballroom from the Great Hall, with natural light coming from the back of the castle. The Great Hall windows would actually faces an open corridor with similar parallel windows on the other side, explaining the shapes behind the glasses that we can take for a balcony:
Confused? Don't worry, I drew a quick floorplan to give you a better view of what I mean:
(I opened the right side of the corridor according to what we see in OFA):
And that's it for the Great Hall! I'll try to cover other parts of the castle very soon.
Edit: added some minor updates to the plan in case what we see behind the windows is actually a balcony (ground level balconies DO exist!!)

About Kristoff being of Northuldra descent
We know that Kristoff and the Northuldras was inspired by the Saami, but after Frozen 2 placing Anna and Elsa as the descendants I left this aside, however, today I found a connection in the films!
Until then, only the Northuldras seemed to know about the Fifth Spirit, but there is another group that knows about Elsa's power and how it works, the ice collectors!
In the opening song of Frozen they talk about her, and I know this was just a resource used and aimed at us, but when we go back to the world of Frozen it's interesting for them to know.
Despite this, I don't think they stayed out of the forest the day it was sealed, but rather that it was a group that went to Arendelle much earlier and their legends ended up being diluted over time.
Am I traveling too much?
This aligns perfectly with my headcanon about Kristoff and the ice harvesters in Arendelle being a different branch of the Northuldra people. I like calling them the Southuldra as a reference to them both having one common ancestor: the "Uldra" people. You can actually find Northuldra spelled out as "North uldra" on the back of a book that is part of the scenery at Frozen Kingdom in Tokyo, indicating to me they are merely the northern branch. And since Northuldra is a name given to them by outsiders, it seems like a rational way to distinguish them from their southern relatives living in Arendelle.
As shown in the novel Dangerous secrets (ch. 22), the ice harvesters clothes are apparently so similar to those of the Northuldra that Iduna mistakes an ice harvester woman for her own people.
This passage also reveals a lot of other interesting stuff: the ice harvesters are nomads just like the Northuldra and sing the same kind of songs. I also find the line about the Northuldra having "expanded quite a bit before the day of the dam" interesting as it could mean there had been Northuldra living outside of the mist for over 30 years by the time of the movies.
Outside the movies and novels, a few comic books show that other members of Kristoff's people appear to be limited to only two lines of profession: ice harvesting and reindeer herding, possibly indicating they are only allowed to have these jobs and that they possibly belong to a different class than other Arendelle citizens.
There is an interesting comic called This land is our land that brings up a conflict between reindeer herders and muskox farmers and I've always seen it as a parallel to real-life conflicts of interest between the Sámi and Scandinavian settlers. In the end though, both groups are convinced they are dependent on each other.
One reindeer herder named Yan reappears in the comic Reindeer games.
Also about magic, I've always found it interesting Kristoff wasn't the slightest bit surprised about Anna's question about seeing magic on the North Mountain and I do fancy the idea that his people has a deeper connection with folklore and mythology and treat magic as something more "everyday" compared to the average Arendellian (although that could of course be unique to him as he grew up with trolls).
I really hope Frozen III will explore Kristoff's family and that we'll learn something about his people.
Frozen 3 was presented during the National Film Promotion Conference in Xiamen, China
It is a major film industry event in China where movie studios, distributors, cinema chains, and filmmakers promote upcoming films, share trailers, announce release plans, and build business partnerships. It is more of an industry and trade event than a public film festival. Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, and other major studios often present their future movie lineups there.
Anddd, Frozen 3 was presented there too!
My friend got the picture below from a friend who wishes to stay anonymous.
They said that during the event, they told everyone to “stay tuned!”, but sadly nothing else was revealed.
If you’d like to know more about this event, you can refer to this website (you may need to use a translator if you don’t understand Chinese)

I made a magazine style edit of Iduna by reusing my previous magazine edit templates 💙
This Iduna pic was from Disneyland Paris, and I also tried resizing her head a little because it looked a bit disproportionate to her body in the original portrait 😆

We were never promised a future, only each other... 💙
Suddenly felt like making a simple apocalypse style Kristanna edit, this idea just came out of nowhere lol
And I want to challenge myself to color grade it in an apocalyptic style, I was originally going to do the whole edits in black and white but after a second thought I feel like keeping some color on them works better, it makes it feel like they only have each other 😭
Psst, maybe some of you will ask where Elsa is, hmmm, we’re just assuming she’s out there somewhere saving the world 🤪
