the frozen timeline explained let us begin with this screenshot from frozen fever. as you can see in the top left corner there is a date clearly marked. it reads MDCCCXL or 1840. in the frozen fever deluxe novel it states “her little sister’s birthday was just weeks away, at summer solstice.” and “she had accidentally hurt anna with them once (her powers) and, worried that might happen again, had cut herself off from her sister and the rest of the kingdom until a year ago.” we learn two things here. anna’s birthday is indeed on the summer solstice and frozen took place one year earlier. july (oaken confirms this in the film) 1839. we know anna is eighteen in the film. so if we work backwards we know she was born on june 21st, 1821. elsa is three years older than anna, at twenty-one during the film so she would be born on december 22nd 1817, winter solstice. while it does not explictly say it is on the solstice, the story “elsa’s (surprise) surprise party” from the frozen storybook collection starts off “one bright winter morning…”. so i will take what jen lee said about elsa’s birthday being on the solstice as fact here. olaf’s frozen adventure seems to be the one confusing everyone but it is fairly simple. it is suppose to take place during their first holiday since the gates opened. this is confirmed by the song “ring in the season”.
A: the first christmas in forever E: since we opened up the gates A: and it’s the first christmas i remember to date A & E: and it’s already worth the wait it is not unheard of for studios to do prequels in the middle of a film franchise so i don’t see why this one is so hard for people to grasp.
so to recap…
frozen: july 1839 olaf’s frozen adventure: december 1839 frozen fever: june 21st 1840 i feel like there was more i wanted to add before i started this but i can’t think of anything else at the moment so i will end it here. thank you for your time.
Just my two cent here. Facebook official Frozen accounts celebrate Elsa and Anna’s birthdays on each of their respective solstices so it’s pretty well confirmed at this point. All in all, great post!
