Happy book birthday to ALL IS FOUND a book to celebrate 10 years of Frozen! As the author-editor I'm so proud of this collection and I know people will love the stories! There are stories about Anna/Elsa's childhood, stories of norse mythological creatures, secondary characters like Mattis and Oaken, and my story which was inspired by Wandavision called Coronation Day!
I made another edit too and you can decide which you like more.
How it all began for me...
"Addicted to Frozen", that's the subtitle of my Tumblr blog since I created it in February 2019 and thus joined the international fandom for the first time. However, it took me a while to decide to do this, mainly because of the language barrier. In the end, the first teaser trailer for Frozen II was the deciding factor.
However, my addiction to the Frozen franchise started earlier, but only on Christmas Eve 2016, when I was visiting my sister and I was supposed to choose the films for the evening while she cooked dinner for us.
I can still remember, as if it was only yesterday, zapping around on the tiny TV and getting stuck on the first scene with the ice harvesters from Frozen. Something had almost magically drawn me in and when the story with the two little sisters Anna and Elsa developed further and she sang "Do you wanna build a snowman?", I was in love with the film.
Since then, not a single day has gone by without me thinking about the movie, first buying the DVD and then a lot of posters. I was on Pinterest every day and also searched for fan art there. At this time, I also started collecting merchandise for the movie and have now built up one of the biggest collections. In 2018, a picture came into circulation that I later searched for everywhere and tried to find out the source. It showed Anna and Elsa in a previously unknown new outfit in a forest.
A few months later, the bombshell dropped with the release of the teaser trailer for Frozen II. The hype was born and it was simply indescribable what was happening on Tumblr. There were so many posts every minute that I couldn't keep up with it all. There was wild speculation and I published my very first two posts on Tumblr with the title "The Disney FROZEN II Teaser Trailer Mania". Ever since that trailer, I was absolutely hooked on Frozen! I couldn't help myself.
After that, I reblogged for all I was worth, created my first edits and started writing my first fanfic. However, as a novice writer, I was still too clueless and made a lot of mistakes (this only changed with the second fanfic, years later). Over time, I got to know a lot of fans, signed up on other social media platforms and my love for the Frozen movies remains unbroken to this day.
I hope this hype starts again with Frozen III and IV, because I really miss those times in fandom.
Here are some brand new pics of my collection including all the Frozen II stuff:
In daylight...
...and at night...
If you want to see more details i can make an additional post. Just let me know.
If you still don't understand the movie and have questions about Frozen you should watch this video. It's old but a must see!
I wrote a comment on reddit:
"That's nearly the whole movie in a commentary version in three parts plus epilogue, explained scene by scene but made by a fan. It's a really good character analysis, especially about Elsa and in this regard also is a comparison to other characters in Disney movies as well. And not only this but it also shows to us some funny comparisons to completely other kind of movies and characters. Everything's pretty good explained how Disney played with our expectations in the movie and the subtle ways they managed to mislead us. Each character arc and their role in Frozen is explained to us in a very logical way. So, I can fully agree with this analysis and it's the best i've ever seen about Frozen. If you are a true Frozen fan you should watch this 54 minutes long video. It's worth it and you won't be disappointed at all.
Tumblr sadly still has issues including website links or video embeds.
