So, this "Snow Queen" thing
I'm still thinking about marydoodler's awesome "Snow Queen" concept art and gaius-cassius-longinus' post about Alaqai Beki
because "The Snow Queen" was always my favourite Hans Christian Andersen story, it's trippy and long and weird
and thinking wouldn't it be awesome if there was a version about a princess in medieval Mongolia (Gerda in the story isn't a princess, but we want this girl to be a Disney Princess)
the Snow Queen is actually the villain who kidnaps Kay and it would be kind of nice to have snow white symbolizing evil and death, instead of black, for once
Gerda gets this totally bad-ass robber girl sidekick, wouldn't it be great to have a girl sidekick
as well as the talking reindeer sidekick
wait, are there even reindeer in Mongolia?
CLOSE ENOUGH
the Northern Lights are a big part of it, but I don't think it's far north enough?
WHATEVER, DISNEY MAGIC
it's interesting because in the original there's no epic final battle, Gerda rescues Kay while the Snow Queen is away
when she frees him with THE POWER OF HEART the pieces of ice rearrange themselves into the last word
dunno how that'd work in a movie
it'd be kind of awesome if it were, like, a storybook, like a webcomic, even if it can't be a Disney movie
anyway that's what i've been thinking
