Property of the Walt Disney Animation Studios

OPEN ON: ICE.

Were underwater looking up at it. A saw cuts through,
heading right for us.
EXT. SNOW-CAPPED MOUNTAINS DUSK
ICE HARVESTERS, dressed in traditional Sami clothing,
score a frozen lake. They SING.
The Frozen Heart (Ice Workers Song)
ICE HARVESTERS
BORN OF COLD AND WINTER AIR
AND MOUNTAIN RAIN COMBINING,
THIS ICY FORCE BOTH FOUL AND FAIR
HAS A FROZEN HEART WORTH MINING.
The men drag giant ice blocks through channels of water.
ICE HARVESTERS (CONTD)
CUT THROUGH THE HEART, COLD AND CLEAR.
STRIKE FOR LOVE AND STRIKE FOR FEAR.
SEE THE BEAUTY SHARP AND SHEER.
SPLIT THE ICE APART!
AND BREAK THE FROZEN HEART.
Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
A young Sami boy, KRISTOFF (8), and his reindeer calf,
SVEN, share a carrot as they try to keep up with the men.
ICE HARVESTERS (CONTD)
Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
Young Kristoff struggles to get a block of ice out of the
water. He fails, ends up soaked. Sven licks his wet cheek.
ICE HARVESTERS (CONTD)
BEAUTIFUL! POWERFUL! DANGEROUS! COLD!
ICE HAS A MAGIC CAN'T BE CONTROLLED.
A sharp ice floe overtakes the workers, threateningly.
They fight it back.
ICE HARVESTERS (CONTD)
STRONGER THAN ONE, STRONGER THAN TEN
STRONGER THAN A HUNDRED MEN!

Massive fjord horses drag heavy ice plowsICE HARVESTERS

(CONTD)
BORN OF COLD AND WINTER AIR
AND MOUNTAIN RAIN COMBINING
The sun sets. Lanterns are lit.
ICE HARVESTERS (CONTD)
THIS ICY FORCE BOTH FOUL AND FAIR
HAS A FROZEN HEART WORTH MINING.
CUT THROUGH THE HEART, COLD AND CLEAR.
In the dark, Kristoff and Sven finally manage to get a
single block of ice out of the water.
ICE HARVESTERS (CONTD)
STRIKE FOR LOVE AND STRIKE FOR FEAR.
THERE'S BEAUTY AND THERE'S DANGER HERE.
SPLIT THE ICE APART!
BEWARE THE FROZEN HEART.
The workers pile onto the giant horse-drawn ice sled as
it pulls away.
Left behind, Kristoff and Sven push their ice block onto
a dinky little sled then head off.
We sweep up from them to the Northern Lights filling the
sky...then move across the mountains...beneath the
snowline...and descend upon...
EXT. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE NIGHT
A humble castle, built of wood, nestled in a deep fjord.
INT. CASTLE, NURSERY NIGHT
ELSA (8) sleeps in her bed. Her little sister ANNA (5)
pops up beside her.
YOUNG ANNA
Elsa. Psst. Elsa! Psst.
Elsa doesnt stir. Anna sits on Elsa and bounces.
YOUNG ANNA (CONTD)
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
YOUNG ELSA (grumbling)
Anna, go back to sleep.
Anna rolls onto her back and spreads all her weight on
Elsa.

YOUNG ANNA (drama queen-ish)

I just cant. The skys awake, so Im awake, so we have to
play.

YOUNG ELSA
...Go play by yourself.
Elsa shoves Anna off the bed.
Anna lands butt to floor, sighs, defeated. But then she
gets an idea. She hops back on the bed and lifts one of
Elsas eyelids.
YOUNG ANNA(mischievously)
Do you want to build a snowman?
Elsas eyes both pop open. She smiles.
INT. CASTLE STAIRCASE NIGHT
Anna, now wearing snow boots, pulls Elsa by the hand.
YOUNG ANNA
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Elsa tries to shush her, but Annas too excited.
INT. BALLROOM NIGHT
The girls sneak into the ballroom. Elsa shuts the door.
YOUNG ANNA
Do the magic! Do the magic!
Elsa laughs and waves her hands together. Snowflakes
suddenly burst forth and dance between her palms, forming
a snowball. Elsa throws the snowball high into the air.
Snow bursts out and flurries around the room. Anna dances
about, catching flakes in her palms and mouth.
YOUNG ANNA (CONTD)
This is amazing!
YOUNG ELSA
Watch this!
Elsa stomps her little slippered foot and a layer of ice
suddenly coats the floor, forming a giant ice rink. Anna
slides off, laughing.

PLAY MONTAGE:
-Anna and Elsa roll giant snowballs and build a snowman
together. Elsa moves his stick arms around.
YOUNG ELSA (CONTD) (goofy voice)
Hi, Im Olaf and I like warm hugs.
Anna jumps up and hugs him.
YOUNG ANNA
I love you, Olaf.
-Anna and Olaf appear to be dancing. REVEAL: Elsa is
actually propelling them across the ice floor with her
magic.

-The girls slide down snowbanks together!

-Anna fearlessly jumps off a snow peak into mid air.
YOUNG ANNA (CONTD)
Catch me!
Elsa makes another peak to catch Anna.
YOUNG ELSA
Gotcha!
Anna keeps jumping. Elsa keeps casting magic.
YOUNG ANNA (jumping faster)

Again! Again!
YOUNG ELSA (struggling to keep up)

Slow down!
Elsa suddenly slips.
Her magic accidentally STRIKES Anna in the head. Anna
tumbles down a snowbank and lands, unconscious.

YOUNG ELSA (CONTD)

ANNA!
Elsa runs to Anna and takes her in her arms. A streak of
Annas hair, where struck, turns white.
YOUNG ELSA (CONTD)
MAMA! PAPA!
The room around them fills with frightening ice spikes.

FROZEN - J. Lee

The parents burst through the frozen door. GASP at the
sight of the room.
KING
Elsa, what have you done? This is getting out of hand!
QUEEN
(seeing Anna)
Anna!
The King and Queen rush to Anna and take her in their arms.

ELSA
It was an accident. Im sorry,
Anna.
QUEEN (about Anna)

Shes ice cold.

KING
...I know where we have to go.
SLAM CUT TO:
INT. DARK ROOM NIGHT
The King sifts through a shelf to find an ancient book
inscribed with Old Norse runes. He opens the book,
scrambles to a page with an ancient map.
EXT. ARENDELLE NIGHT
Carrying the girls, the King and Queen ride their horses
out of the kingdom. Snow streams from Elsas hands,

leaving a trail of ice behind them.

EXT. FJORD MOUNTAIN FOREST NIGHT
A sleepy Kristoff and Sven travel alone through the dark
woods. All of a sudden, the King and Queen race by with
the girls, leaving the wake of ice.
KRISTOFF
Ice?
SLAM CUT TO:

FROZEN - J. Lee

6
EXT. BLACK MOUNTAINS NIGHT
Kristoff rides Sven as they follow the trail of ice.
YOUNG KRISTOFF
Faster, Sven!
EXT. THE VALLEY OF THE LIVING ROCK NIGHT
Kristoff hops off Sven at the edge of a deep valley. They
hide behind a rock and peek out.
Down below, the King holds a frightened Elsa. The Queen
holds the still unconscious Anna.
KING
Please, help. My daughter!
Suddenly, a bunch of rocks tumble down the valley toward
them. It looks as though theyll be crushed!
But, luckily, the rocks stop at their feet. The rocks
then unfold, revealing bright faces.
YOUNG KRISTOFF
Trolls...?
The rock in front of Kristoff wakes up. Meet BULDA.
BULDA
Shush. Im trying to listen.
She grabs Kristoff and Sven by hand and hoof and hugs
them close. Sven licks her face and she eyes them both.
BULDA (CONTD)
Cuties. Im gonna keep you.

Back below, the crowd parts for a troll as old as the

Earth. They call him GRAND PABBIE. He approaches
arthritically, but determined. He nods respectfully to the
king.

GRAND PABBIE Your Majesty.

(referring to Elsa)
Born with the powers or cursed?
KING
Born. And theyre getting stronger.
Grand Pabbie motions for the Queen to bring Anna to him.
She does. He examines her.

FROZEN - J. Lee

GRAND PABBIE (about Anna)
You are lucky it wasnt her heart. The heart is not so
easily changed, but the head can be persuaded.

KING
Do what you must.
GRAND PABBIE
I recommend we remove all magic, even memories of magic
to be safe.... But dont worry, Ill leave the fun.
Grand Pabbie pulls out a glowing blue energy from Annas
head. We see her memories floating right above her. Grand
Pabbie changes all of her magical memories to ordinary
memories -- snowy play indoors with the girls in their
nightgowns changes to outdoors on the winter fjords with
the girls in winter gear. He puts the ordinary memories
back in her head.
GRAND PABBIE (CONTD)
She will be okay.
YOUNG ELSA
But she wont remember I have powers?
KING
Its for the best.
PABBIE
Listen to me, Elsa, your power will only grow.
As he speaks, he conducts the Northern Lights to show a
silhouette of an adult Elsa creating magical snowflakes.

PABBIE (CONTD)
There is beauty in your magic....
But also great danger.

The snowflakes turn to sharp spikes.

PABBIE (O.S.) (CONTD)
You must learn to control it.
In the Northern Lights display, the sharp spikes cause
human figures to panic and attack Elsa.
PABBIE (CONTD)
Fear will be your enemy.

FROZEN - J. Lee

Elsa gasps and buries her face in the Kings chest. The
King wraps his arms around Elsa, protectively.
KING
No. Well protect her. She can learn to control it. Im
sure.
Over the Kings words we...
DISSOLVE TO:
-The Arendelle castle gates shutting.
KING (O.S.) (CONTD) Until then, well lock the gates.
Well reduce the staff. We will limit her contact with
people and keep her powers hidden from everyone...
including Anna.

-The castle shutters close.

-Anna sits on her bed as Elsas furniture disappears.
-Anna rushes to the hall to see Elsa shut the door to her
new room. Anna watches, confused and sad.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. CASTLE WINDOW DAY
We look out on a gentle snowfall. Little Anna skips up to
the window. She lights up at the sight of the snow and
rushes down the hall.
INT. HALLWAY, ELSAS DOOR DAY
Anna knocks on Elsas door and SINGS.

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

YOUNG ANNA
DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?
COME ON LETS GO AND PLAY.
Anna peeks under the door.
YOUNG ANNA (CONTD)
I NEVER SEE YOU ANYMORE.
COME OUT THE DOOR.
ITS LIKE YOUVE GONE AWAY.

FROZEN - J. Lee

-INT. ANNAS ROOM Anna plays with two dolls, gives up,
sad.

YOUNG ANNA (CONTD)

WE USED TO BE BEST BUDDIES
AND NOW WERE NOT.
I WISH YOU WOULD TELL ME WHY.
-ELSAS DOOR. Anna peeks through the key hole.
YOUNG ANNA (CONTD)
DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?
-Anna calls through the keyhole.
YOUNG ANNA (CONTD)
IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE A SNOWMAN.
YOUNG ELSA (O.S.)
Go away, Anna.
YOUNG ANNA (hearbroken)

...OKAY BYE.
-BEHIND THE DOOR DAY. Elsa sits at the window looking
out, longingly. Suddenly, her icy hands freeze the
windowsill.

-LATER. The King slips leather gloves onto Elsas hands.

KING
The gloves will help.
He pats her gloved hand.
KING (CONTD) See? Youre good....

(starting their mantra) Conceal it.

YOUNG ELSA
Dont feel it.
YOUNG ELSA & KING
Dont let it show.
-INT. HALLWAY, ELSAS DOOR DAY. Anna, now 9, knocks on
Elsas door.
ANNA (9)
DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?
-INT. HALLWAY DAY. Alone, Anna rides a bicycle built
for two in the hall by standing on the back seat.

FROZEN - J. Lee

10
ANNA (9) (CONTD)
OR RIDE OUR BIKE AROUND THE HALL?
I THINK SOME COMPANY IS OVERDUE...
-INT. PORTRAIT ROOM DAY. Anna runs around the portrait
room, gaining momentum to flip over the arm of the couch.

ANNA (9) (CONTD)

IVE STARTED TALKING TO
THE PICTURES ON THE WALLS.
Anna lands PLOP on the cushions, then looks up at the
painting above her of the courageous Joan of Arc.

ANNA (9) (CONTD)

Hang in there, Joan.
-INT. EMPTY LIBRARY DAY. Looks like no ones around.
ANNA (9) (CONTD)
IT GETS A LITTLE LONELY
ALL THESE EMPTY ROOMS.
But then we find Anna, laying at the base of the
grandfather clock, playing with her braids, bored out of
her mind.

ANNA (9) (CONTD)

JUST WATCHING THE HOURS TICK BY.
Annas eyes follow the grandfather clocks pendulum.
ANNA (9) (CONTD)
TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK.
-INT. ELSAS ROOM NIGHT. Elsa (now 12) paces as she
panics. The entire wall is frozen behind her.

ELSA (12)
Im scared. Its getting stronger.
KING
Getting upset only makes it worse.
The King goes to hug her.
ELSA (12)
No. Dont touch me. I dont want to hurt you.
He and the Queen look at each other with alarmed sadness.
-INT. LIBRARY DAY. Anna, now a teenager, slides past
Elsas room without stopping.

FROZEN - J. Lee

11
-INT. KING AND QUEENS QUARTERS DAY. Anna runs into the
room and throws herself into her parents arms.
TEEN ANNA
See you in two weeks.
-INT. ELSAS ROOM DAY. Elsa curtsies in front of her
parents, formally, not touching them.
TEEN ELSA
Do you have to go?
KING
Youll be fine, Elsa.
-EXT. DOCKS DAY. The King and Queen leave on a ship.
-EXT. ROUGH SEAS NIGHT. Lightning flashes. The sea
rages in a storm. The King and Queens ship is lost in
the waves.
-INT. CASTLE DAY. A portrait of the King and Queen is
covered in mourning cloth.
-EXT. CEMETERY DAY. Anna looks small, standing before
her people, beside burial stones.
-INT. HALLWAY, ELSAS DOOR. Anna, still in her mourning
clothes, approaches and knocks.
ANNA (singing)

Elsa? PLEASE I KNOW YOURE IN THERE PEOPLE ARE ASKING

WHERE YOUVE BEEN THEY SAY HAVE COURAGE
AND IM TRYING TO
IM RIGHT OUT HERE FOR YOU. PLEASE LET ME IN.
Anna slides down the door and sits with her head against

it.
ANNA (CONTD) WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER. ITS JUST YOU AND
ME.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? (weak, internal)
DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?

We move through the door...

-INT. ELSAS ROOM DAY. Elsa is sitting in the exact
same pose as Anna. Her bedroom is frozen with ice.
Snowflakes hang in the air, suspended by grief.
FADE OUT.

FROZEN - J. Lee

12
EXT. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE MORNING
A new dawn rises over the fjords.
Ships pull up to the docks. Guests pile out.
DOCK MASTER
Welcome to Arendelle!
A BOY tries to get away as his MOTHER tries to stuff him
in his bunad jacket.
BOY
Why do I have to wear this?
MOTHER
Because the Queen has come of age.
Its Coronation Day!
BOY
Thats not my fault.
They pass the May Pole being raised and a Sami ice
harvester chatting with his reindeer. We recognize them
as Kristoff and Sven, all grown up. Sven hops around
excitedly like a dog and nuzzles Kristoffs chest.
KRISTOFF
What do you want, Sven?
Kristoff leans in and speaks for Sven, as if he can.
KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONTD)
Give me a snack.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Whats the magic word?

KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONTD)

Please!
Kristoff pulls a carrot out of his shirt pocket and hands
it to Sven. Sven tries to bite the whole thing.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Hey, hey, hey! Share!
Sven takes a smaller bite. Kristoff then has a bite
himself, not seeming to care that its covered in reindeer
slobber.

We move on to PERSI and AGGIE, a super-excited couple who

rush towards the castle.

FROZEN - J. Lee

13
PERSI
I cant believe theyre finally opening up the gates!
AGGIE
And for a whole day! Faster, Persi!
They pass a tiny but menacing DUKE, who wears taps on his
shoes to enhance his presence. Two THUG guards follow
close behind him.
DUKE
Ah, Arendelle, our most mysterious trade partner. Open
those gates so I may unlock your secrets and exploit your
riches.
(catching himself)
...Did I just say that out loud?
We leave him and head down the bridge towards the castle
gates, passing an Irishman and a Spanish Dignitary.

IRISHMAN
Oh, me sore eyes cant wait to see the Queen and the
Princess. I bet theyre absolutely lovely.
SPANISH DIGNITARY
I bet they are beautiful.
We move past them, to a particular castle window.
CUT TO:
INT. CASTLE, ANNAS BEDROOM DAY
Anna, 18, snores. Drools. KNOCK. KNOCK.
KAI (O.S.)
Princess Anna...?
Anna sits up. Shes got major bedhead. She coughs.

Snorts. Pulls a hair from her mouth.

ANNA
...Huh? Yeah?
KAI (O.S.)
Sorry to wake you, maam but-ANNA
No, you didnt. Ive been up for hours.

FROZEN - J. Lee

14
She falls back asleep while sitting. She snores. Her head
drops, startling her awake.
ANNA (CONTD)
Who is it?
KAI (O.S.)
Its still me, maam. Time to get ready.
ANNA
Ready for what?
KAI (O.S.)
Your sisters coronation, maam.
ANNA
My sisters cor-neration...
One eye opens enough to catch sight of her coronation
dress. She bolts, wide awake in excitement.
ANNA (CONTD)
Coronation Day! Ha ha!
SLAM CUT TO:
EXT. CASTLE HALL DAY
Anna bursts out of her room, wearing her coronation dress.
She finishes pinning ribbons in her hair. Seeing the hustle
and bustle of preparations, she cant help but SING.

For the First Time in Forever

ANNA
THE WINDOW IS OPEN!
SO'S THAT DOOR!
I DIDN'T KNOW THEY DID THAT ANYMORE.

WHO KNEW WE OWNED 8000 SALAD PLATES...?

-Anna slides along the floor of the ballroom in her
socks.
ANNA (CONTD)
FOR YEARS I HAVE ROAMED THESE EMPTY HALLS
WHY HAVE A BALLROOM WITH NO BALLS?
FINALLY, THEY'RE OPENING UP THE GATES!
-She shakes hands with a suit of armor. Breaks it. Hides
the evidence.

FROZEN - J. Lee

15
ANNA (CONTD)
THERE'LL BE REAL, ACTUAL PEOPLE IT'LL BE TOTALLY STRANGE.
BUT WOW AM I SO READY FOR THIS CHANGE!
-Anna comes to a window and jumps out onto a window
washers pulley. She raises herself up to see the ships
arriving.

ANNA (CONTD)
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
THERE'LL BE MUSIC, THERE'LL BE LIGHT.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
I'LL BE DANCING THROUGH THE NIGHT.
-Anna walks through the garden and follows a family of
geese.

ANNA (CONTD)
DON'T KNOW IF I'M ELATED OR GASSY, BUT I'M SOMEWHERE IN
THAT ZONE 'CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER, I WON'T
BE ALONE.
(speaking)
I cant wait to meet everyone....
(GASP) What if I meet THE ONE?
-Anna twists herself in a velvet drape like its a gown.
She acts like she looks gorgeous, but she looks ridiculous.

ANNA (CONTD)
TONIGHT, IMAGINE ME GOWN AND ALLFETCHINGLY DRAPED AGAINST THE WALL.
THE PICTURE OF SOPHISTICATED GRACE.
-She notices the bust of a man across the room.
ANNA (CONTD) (google-eyed)

I SUDDENLY SEE HIM STANDING THERE, A BEAUTIFUL STRANGER

TALL AND FAIR.
(mouth full of chocolate)
I WANNA STUFF SOME CHOCOLATE IN MY FACE!

-She grabs the bust of the man and swings it around.

ANNA (CONTD)
BUT THEN WE LAUGH AND TALK ALL EVENING,
WHICH IS TOTALLY BIZARRE.
NOTHING LIKE THE LIFE I'VE LED SO FAR.
The bust goes flying and lands on the top of the cake.
-Anna bursts into the portrait room, bounces on the
furniture, and interacts with the paintings.

FROZEN - J. Lee

16
ANNA (CONTD)
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
THERE'LL BE MAGIC, THERE'LL BE FUN.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
I COULD BE NOTICED BY SOMEONE.
AND I KNOW IT IS TOTALLY CRAZY
TO DREAM I'D FIND ROMANCE.
BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,
AT LEAST I'VE GOT A CHANCE!
-INT. LIBRARY. ELSA, now a very poised 21, watches out
the window as the coronation guests arrive.
ELSA
DON'T LET THEM IN.
DON'T LET THEM SEE.
BE THE GOOD GIRL
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE.
Elsa moves to a painting of her fathers coronation. She
takes off her gloves and mimics the painting by holding a
candlestick and ornament in place of an orb and scepter.

ELSA (CONTD)
CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL.
PUT ON A SHOW.
MAKE ONE WRONG MOVE
AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW.
The candlestick and ornament ice over. Elsa gasps, slams
them back down onto the table. She tries to reassure
herself.

ELSA (CONTD)
BUT IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY.
We cut between Annas excitement and Elsas nerves.

ANNA
IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY!
ELSA
IT'S AGONY TO WAIT.
ANNA
IT'S AGONY TO WAIT!!!
ELSA
TELL THE GUARDS TO OPEN UP THE GATE.
ANNA
THE GATE!!!
-Finally, the gates are open! Anna moves through the
crowd, admiring the people around her.

FROZEN - J. Lee

17

ANNA (CONTD) ELSA

ANNA ELSA
I'M GETTING WHAT I'M DREAMING
OF

BE THE GOOD GIRL

YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE

ANNA ELSA
A CHANCE TO LEAVE MY SISTER'S
WORLD
CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL.
A CHANCE TO FIND TRUE LOVE

CONCEAL.

DON'T LET THEM KNOW.

-Anna hurries over the bridge and into the village

square.
ANNA (CONTD)
I KNOW IT ALL ENDS TOMORROW, SO IT HAS TO BE TODAY!!
CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER. . .
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER! NOTHING'S IN MY WAY!!!

-Anna SLAMS right into the breast of a HORSE!

She falls back and lands in a small wooden boat. It tips
off of the dock. Shes heading overboard. But just then,
the horse slams his hoof into the boat and steadies it.
ANNA (CONTD) (frustrated)

Hey!
HANS
Im so sorry. Are you hurt?
The rider, HANS, sure is handsome and regal.

ANNA (gentler)

Hey. I-ya, no. No. Im okay.

HANS
Are you sure?
ANNA
Yeah, I just wasnt looking where I was going. But Im
okay.
He hops down from his horse and steps into the boat.
ANNA (CONTD)
Im great, actually.

FROZEN - J. Lee

18
HANS
Oh, thank goodness.
He offers her a hand and their eyes meet. Chemistry. He
helps her to her feet.
HANS (CONTD) (bowing)
Prince Hans of the Southern Isles.
ANNA (curtseying)

Princess Anna of Arendelle.

HANS
Princess...? My Lady.
He drops to his knees, head bowed. The horse bows too,
curling his hoof up and out of the boat.
The boat tips. Hans tumbles on top of Anna. Awkward.
ANNA
Hi...again.
The horse slams his foot back into the boat to stabilize
it. Anna and Hans tumble the other way. Anna lands on top
of him.

HANS
Oh boy.
ANNA
Ha. This is awkward. Not youre awkward, but just because
were-- Im awkward. Youre gorgeous.
(did she just say that?) Wait, what?
Hans quickly gets to his feet and helps Anna up again.

HANS
Id like to formally apologize for hitting the Princess
of Arendelle with my horse...and for every moment after.
ANNA
No. No-no. Its fine. Im not THAT Princess. I mean, if
youd hit my sister Elsa, that would be-- yeash! Cuz,
you know...
(patting the horse) Hello.
(MORE)

FROZEN - J. Lee

19
ANNA (CONT'D)
(to Hans)
But, lucky you, its-its just me.
HANS
Just you?
Hans smiles, amused. She smiles back. The bells RING. She
doesnt notice at first; shes too busy drinking in
Hanss handsomeness.
ANNA
...The bells. The coronation. I-I-I better go. I have
to...I better go.
She hurries off, stops, turns back. Gives Hans a little
wave.

ANNA (CONTD)
Bye!
As she rushes off again, Hans waves back. The horse waves
too, once again taking his hoof out of the boat.
HANS
Oh no.
The boat falls, with Hans in it. SPLASH! It lands upside
down in the water. Hans raises it up off of him, gasping
for air.

CUT TO:
INT. CHURCH CHAPEL DAY
Elsa stands at the alter. Anna stands off to one side.
She peeks out to the audience.
Hans waves at her from the pews. Hes changed his

clothes.
The crown is placed on Elsas head. The scepter and orb are
presented to Elsa on a pillow. She slowly reaches for them.
BISHOP (a whisper)

Your Majesty, the gloves.

Elsa hesitates. She breathes nervously, removes her
gloves, places them on the pillow. Her hands shake. She
takes the orb and scepter, then turns to the people.
BISHOP (CONTD) (formal, in Old Norse)

Sehm hon HELL-drr IN-um HELL-gum AYG-num ok krund ee

THES-um HELL-gah STAHTH, ehk teh frahm FUR-ear U-thear...

FROZEN - J. Lee

20
The scepter and orb start to freeze over.
BISHOP (CONTD)
...Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
CROWD
Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
Just in time. Elsa manages to set the orb and scepter
back down on the pillow before anyone notices the ice.
She picks up her gloves and slips them on. She made it.
CUT TO:
INT. GREAT HALL NIGHT
Springy music fills the Great Hall. Guests dance. Eat.
Laugh.

TRUMPETS SOUND.
KAI (announcing)

Queen Elsa of Arendelle.

Elsa enters, poised and looking surprisingly content. She
stands under a formal awning.
KAI (CONTD)
Princess Anna of Arendelle!
Anna runs into the room, waves awkwardly. Kai ushers her
over to stand right next to Elsa.
ANNA
Here? Are you sure?
She and Elsa sneak awkward peeks at each other.

ELSA
...Hi.
ANNA
Hi me...? Oh. Um. Hi.
ELSA
...You look beautiful.
ANNA
Thank you. You look beautifuller. I mean, not fuller. You
dont look fuller, but more beautiful.

FROZEN - J. Lee

21
ELSA
Thank you.
They look out at the celebration.
ELSA (CONTD)
So, this is what a party looks like?
ANNA
Its warmer than I thought.
ELSA
And what is that amazing smell?
They both close their eyes and inhale.
ANNA AND ELSA (TOGETHER)
...Chocolate.
Their eyes pop open. They laugh.
Elsa looks back out at the party. Anna looks at Elsa. She
wants to say so much, but she cant think of where to
start. Just as she finds her way, Kai interrupts.
KAI
Your Majesty. The Duke of
Weaseltown.
DUKE
Weselton. The Duke of Weselton. (to Elsa)
Your Majesty, as your closest partner in trade, it seems
only fitting that I offer you your first dance as queen.
The Duke does a funny flitter of his feet, a hitch-kick,
and a deep bow.
DUKE (CONTD) (whispers to himself)

One, two, three. Jump.

As he holds out his hand, head down, his toupee dips
forward. Anna giggles. Elsa looks at Anna, stifles a giggle
herself.
ELSA (to the Duke)

Thank you...only I dont dance.

FROZEN - J. Lee

22

DUKE (offended)

Oh...?
ELSA
But my sister does.
ANNA
What?
DUKE
Lucky you....
ANNA
Oh, I dont think-The Duke grabs Annas arm and yanks her away before she
can protest.
DUKE
If you swoon, let me know, Ill catch you.
Anna looks back at Elsa, desperately.
ELSA
Sorry.
OUT ON THE DANCE FLOOR: The Duke showboats, but hes just
awful. Anna tries to make the best of it.
DUKE
Like an agile peacock... CLUCKCLUGGLE-CLUCK!
He lands on her feet.
ANNA
Ow. Ow.

DUKE
Speaking of, so great to have the gates open. Why did
they shut them in the first place? Do you know the
reason? Hmm?
He gets in her face, suspicious.
ANNA
...No.

FROZEN - J. Lee

23
DUKE
Oh, all right. Hang on. They dont call me the little
dipper for nothing.
He dips Anna back. Elsa peeks through the crowd, can barely
hold in her laughter. Anna shoots Elsa funny, help-me
looks.
DUKE (CONTD) (groove fully on)

Like a chicken...with the face of a monkey...I fly.

JUMP CUT TO:
MOMENTS LATER...
Anna limps back to Elsa.
DUKE (O.S.)
Let me know when youre ready for another round, MLady.
ELSA
Well, he was sprightly.
ANNA
(rubbing her sore feet) Especially for a man in heels.
ELSA
Are you okay?
ANNA
(loving Elsas attention) Ive never been better. This is
so nice. I wish it could be like this all the time.
ELSA (sincere)

Me too....
But then Elsa catches herself. She stiffens up, looks away.

ELSA (CONTD)
But it cant.
ANNA
Why not? If-ELSA
It just cant.

Annas smile drops. She tries not to get emotional.
ANNA
Excuse me for a minute.
She walks away. Elsa watches her go, saddened.
Moving through the crowd, Anna gets bumped by a bowing
mans butt. She falls. Just before she hits the floor,
Hans catches her. He smiles perfectly.
HANS
Glad I caught you.
ANNA
Hans.
He smoothly sets his drink down on a passing tray. He
lifts her up and leads her in a romantic dance.

LATER: Anna and Hans drink and chat.
ANNA (CONTD)

She hits him in the face by mistake with her hand. He

EXT. BALCONY NIGHT

Anna teaches Hans how to eat krumkake.
ANNA
Yeah, the whole thing! You got it.
They laugh as the krumkake crumbles in his face.

ANNA(CONTD)
Okay wait, wait. So you have how many brothers?
HANS
Twelve older brothers. Three of them pretended I was
invisible...
literally...for two years.
ANNA
Thats horrible.
HANS
Its what brothers do.
ANNA
...And sisters. Elsa and I were really close when we were
little. But then, one day she just shut me out, and I
never knew why.
He takes her hand. Leans in close.
HANS
I would never shut you out.
ANNA
Okay, can I just say something crazy?
HANS
I love crazy.
Love is an Open Door

INT. BALL NIGHT

Anna pushes through the crowd towards Elsa, Hans in tow.

ANNA
Oops! Pardon. Sorry. Can we just get around you there?
Thank you. Oh, there she is. Elsa!
Elsa turns to Anna. Anna curtseys awkwardly.
ANNA (CONTD)
I mean...Queen.... Me again. Um.
May I present Prince Hans of the
Southern Isles.
HANS (bowing)

Your Majesty.
Elsa gives a polite but reserved curtsey.
ANNA
We would like-HANS --your blessing-ANNA

ELSA
Marriage...?
ANNA
Yes!
ELSA
Im sorry, Im confused.

Wait. Slow down. No ones brothers are staying here. No

ANNA
Wait, what?
ELSA
May I talk to you, please. Alone.
Anna sees Hanss worried face. Hooks arms with him.

ANNA
No. Whatever you have to say, you-you can say to both of
us.
ELSA
Fine. You cant marry a man you just met.
ANNA
You can if its true love.
ELSA

Anna, what do you know about true love?

More than you. All you know is how to shut people out.

You asked for my blessing, but my answer is no. Now,
excuse me.

HANS
Your Majesty, if I may ease your-ELSA (flustered)

No, you may not. And I-I think you should go.
Elsa walks away. As she passes the Royal Handler-ELSA (CONTD)
The party is over. Close the gates.
ANNA
What? Elsa, no. No, wait!
Anna grabs Elsas hand. She pulls off Elsas glove. Elsa
gasps, spins around and reaches for the glove in panic.

ELSA
Give me my glove!
Anna holds the glove away from Elsa.
ANNA (desperate)

Elsa, please. Please. I cant live like this anymore.

Elsa fights tears.
ELSA
(weak)
...Then leave.
Elsa sees Annas hurt face. Its too much. She cant hold
it in. She turns and rushes away.
ANNA (heartbroken)

...What did I ever do to you?!

The party goes silent as everyone watches the sisters.

ELSA
Enough, Anna.
ANNA
No. Why? Why do you shut me out?!
Why do you shut the world out?!

BOWING TOWNSMAN
Queen Elsa.

Your Majesty? Are you all right?
Elsa backs away from the baby. She knocks into the
fountain, grabs its edge. The waters freeze at her touch.
GASPS of shock and fear sweep over the crowd.
The Duke and thugs come out the door.

DUKE
There she is! Stop her!
ELSA (to the Duke)

Please, just stay away from me. Stay away!

Magic accidentally shoots from her hand and turns the
staircase into ice. The thugs and the Duke fall.

DUKE

The crowd panics.
A snowstorm begins. Elsa flees.
Anna runs out of the palace doors, carrying the glove.
ANNA
Elsa!
Hans follows closely behind her.
GATES TO THE KINGDOM: Elsa runs out of the gates and down
to the waters edge. The shoreline freezes under her
feet.
Anna calls to her from the gates.
ANNA (CONTD)
Elsa! Wait, please!
Elsa glances back at Anna, but turns away. She tentatively
steps out onto the fjord. It freezes instantly. She breaks
into a run, as the water freezes over with each step.

ANNA (CONTD)
Elsa, stop!
Anna rushes out onto the fjord ice, slips, falls.
HANS
Anna!
Hans rushes to Annas side.
Elsa reaches the far shore. She doesnt look back. She
just scrambles into the mountains.
ANNA
No.

HANS (shocked)

Look.... The fjord.

The ice spreads out until the entire fjord is frozen,
locking the ships in place.

Nearby, the Duke flutters about in fright.

Look! Its snowing! Its snowing! The Queen has cursed
this land! She must be stopped!
(to his thugs)
You have to go after her.
Anna rushes up to the Duke.
ANNA
Wait, no!
The Duke hides behind his thugs and points out at Anna.

DUKE
You! Is there sorcery in you, too?
Are you a monster, too?
ANNA
No. No. Im completely ordinary.
HANS
Thats right she is...

(realizing how that sounds)

ANNA

It was an accident. She was scared. She didnt mean it. She

Yes. Fine. Do.
HANS
What?
ANNA
(to the Royal Handler) Bring me my horse, please.
HANS
Anna, no. Its too dangerous.
ANNA
Elsas not dangerous. Ill bring her back, and Ill make

The Royal Handler brings Anna her horse and a cloak.
HANS
Im coming with you.
ANNA
No, I need you here to take care of
Arendelle.
He sees the desperation in her eyes.
HANS
...On my honor.
She throws on the cloak and hops right onto the horse,
coronation dress and all.
ANNA (to the crowd)

I leave Prince Hans in charge!

Are you sure you can trust her? I dont want you getting

The snow picks up and overtakes our view. We push through a
blizzard...lose our way...then finds ourselves...

EXT. HIGH UP IN THE MOUNTAINS NIGHT

Well above the snow-line, a small figure climbs the
highest peak. Its Elsa. Finally, she stops, looks
around. Catches her breath and sings...
Let It Go
ELSA
THE SNOW GLOWS WHITE
ON THE MOUNTAIN TONIGHT,
NOT A FOOTPRINT TO BE SEEN.
A KINGDOM OF ISOLATION
AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M THE QUEEN.
THE WIND IS HOWLING

Elsa takes off her glove and throws it into the air.

ELSA (CONTD)
LET IT GO. LET IT GO.
CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE.
Elsa creates a snowman, just like the one she made with
Anna when they were children.
ELSA (CONTD)
LET IT GO. LET IT GO.
TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR.
I DON'T CARE WHAT THEYRE GOING TO
SAY.
LET THE STORM RAGE ON.

Elsa lets her cape fly back into the wind.

ELSA (CONTD)
IT'S FUNNY HOW SOME DISTANCE

AND THE FEARS THAT ONCE CONTROLLED ME
CAN'T GET TO ME AT ALL.
IT'S TIME TO SEE
WHAT I CAN DO,
TO TEST THE LIMITS AND BREAK THROUGH.
NO RIGHT, NO WRONG,
NO RULES FOR ME...I'M FREE!
Elsa creates ice steps and climbs them.
ELSA (CONTD)
LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
I AM ONE WITH THE WIND AND SKY.
LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME CRY.
HERE I STAND AND HERE I'LL STAY.
Elsa slams her foot down and forms a giant snowflake.
ELSA (CONTD)
LET THE STORM RAGE ON....
In a flurry of creative release, she raises the snowflake
on ice beams, builds walls, archways, a glistening
chandelier, and an intricate ceiling that leaves the sky
visible.

ELSA (CONTD)
MY POWER FLURRIES THROUGH THE AIR
INTO THE GROUND.
MY SOUL IS SPIRALING IN FROZEN
FRACTALS ALL AROUND.
AND ONE THOUGHT CRYSTALLIZES LIKE
AN ICY BLAST-

Standing firmly in her mighty ice palace, Elsa removes

her crown and throws it.
ELSA (CONTD) I'M NEVER GOING BACK, (back to resolve)

THE PAST IS IN THE PAST!

She takes down her hair and creates a new dress made of
ice.

ELSA (CONTD)
LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
AND I'LL RISE LIKE THE BREAK OF DAWN.
LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
The sun rises. Elsa struts onto out onto a balcony and
into the light. Shes free.

CUT TO:
EXT. THE FJORD FOREST DAY
Anna rides her horse through two feet of snow. She shivers.
ANNA (shivering)

Elsa! Elsa! Its me, Anna...your sister who didnt mean

to make you freeze the summer. Im sorry. Its all my ff-f-f-f-f-fault.
DISSOLVE TO:
LATER: Anna and the horse struggle through a wooded area.
ANNA (CONTD) (hearing a wolf howl)
Of course, none of this would have happened if shed just
told me her secret...ha...shes a stinker.

A branch of a nearby tree snaps and startles the horse.

Anna goes flying off, lands face down in the snow. She
sits up. Spits out snow. Sees the horse running away.
ANNA (CONTD)
Oh no. No. No. No. Come back. No.
No. No. No.... Oooo-kay.

He doesnt come back. Anna grabs onto a branch of a leaning

conifer, tries to pull herself to her feet, but the tree
snaps upright and releases all its snow onto her. GROAN.

The Northern Lights shine as Anna struggles, out of

Fire! WHOA!
Anna goes tumbling down the hill. She lands with a crash
in an icy stream at the bottom.
ANNA (CONTD)
(from inside the snowball) Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold...
EXT. A SMALL BUILDING AND STABLE NIGHT
Anna shuffles up to the building, her dress frozen stiff.
She shakes the snow off a sign and reads:
ANNA
Wandering Oakens Trading Post.
Snow drops off a smaller sign. She reads it, happily.
ANNA (CONTD)
Ooh! And Sauna...
INT. WANDERING OAKENS TRADING POST & SAUNA NIGHT
Anna steps cautiously through the door--which hits her
frozen butt and knocks her into the center of the shop.
She looks around, sees only summer supplies.
OAKEN (O.S.)
Hoo hoo.

Anna turns to see a bright-faced fellow sitting low

behind the counter, fingers tapping tip to tip.
OAKEN (CONTD)
Big summer blow out. Half off swimming suits, clogs, and a
sun balm of my own invention, yah?
ANNA
Oh, great. For now, how about boots. Winter boots...and
dresses?

FROZEN - J. Lee

OAKEN
(slight disappointment) That would be in our winter
department.
The winter department contains one outfit, a pick ax, and
a lonely pair of boots.
ANNA
Oh. Um, I was just wondering; has another young woman,
the Queen perhaps, I dont know, passed through here?
She brings the clothes and boots to the counter.
OAKEN
Only one crazy enough to be out in this storm is you,
dear?
The front door suddenly blows open and in walks a mass of
a man covered in ice. Underneath is KRISTOFF.
OAKEN (CONTD)
You and this fellow.... Hoo hoo.
Big summer blow out.
Kristoff walks right up to Anna.
KRISTOFF (in her face)

Carrots.
ANNA
Huh?
KRISTOFF
Behind you.
ANNA
Oh, right. Excuse me.

Anna moves out of Kristoffs way. He grabs a bunch of

carrots, tosses them on the counter, then moves through
the place, gathering other supplies.
OAKEN (to Kristoff)
A real howler in July, yah? Where ever could it be coming
from?

KRISTOFF
The North Mountain.

FROZEN - J. Lee

41
ANNA (to herself)

North Mountain.
Kristoff brings his supplies to the counter. Oaken counts
on his fingertips.
OAKEN
Thatll be forty.
KRISTOFF
Forty? No, ten.
OAKEN (sweet as pie)

Oh dear, thats no good. See these are from our winter

stock, where supply and demand have a big problem.
KRISTOFF
You want to talk about a supply and demand problem? I
sell ice for a living.
Kristoff motions out the window, where we see the blocks
of ice on his sled, covered in snow.
ANNA
Ooh, thats a rough business to be in right now. I mean,
that is really...
(he shoots her a look) Ahem. Thats unfortunate.

OAKEN
Still forty. But I will throw in a visit to Oakens
sauna. Hoo hoo! Hi, family.
Kristoff and Anna turn to see a naked family waving
through the window of the steaming sauna.
NAKED FAMILY

Hoo hoo!
KRISTOFF
...Tens all I got. Help me out.
OAKEN
(isolating the carrots)
Ten will get you this and no more.
Kristoff seethes. Stalemate.

FROZEN - J. Lee

42

ANNA
Okay, just tell me one thing; what was happening on the
North Mountain? Did it seem magical?
Kristoff pulls down his scarf and gives Anna a firm answer.

KRISTOFF
Yes! Now, back up while I deal with this crook here.
Oaken stands up, revealing his seven-foot stature.
OAKEN
What did you call me?
EXT. WANDERING OAKENS TRADING POST AND SAUNA NIGHT
Oaken stomps out the door, carrying Kristoff with one arm.

KRISTOFF
Okay. Okay, Im- Ow! Whoa!
Oaken throws Kristoff, who face-plants in the snow.
OAKEN
Bye bye.
Oaken slams the door. Kristoff sits up. His reindeer,
Sven, canters over, snorts, and nudges him, expectantly.
KRISTOFF
No Sven, I didnt get your carrots.
Sven huffs in his face. Kristoff turns away and sees
something. He points to a dilapidated barn.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
But I did find us a place to sleep.
And its free.

INT. WANDERING OAKENS TRADING POST AND SAUNA NIGHT

Anna stands watching Oaken and all his great height as he
squeezes behind the counter and sits down low again.
OAKEN (teddy bear)

Im sorry about this violence. I will add a quart of

lutefisk, so well have good feelings. Just the outfit
and boots, yah?

Anna looks between Kristoffs supplies and the door.
CUT TO:
INT. OAKENS STABLES - NIGHT
Kristoff, now unfrozen, relaxes on a bed of hay, playing
his lute and singing to (and for) Sven.
Reindeer(s) are Better than People
KRISTOFF
REINDEERS ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE.
SVEN, DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S TRUE?
KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONTD) (throwing his voice)
YEAH, PEOPLE WILL BEAT YOU & CURSE YOU & CHEAT YOU.
EVERY ONE OF EM'S BAD, EXCEPT YOU. (speaking)
Oh, thanks, Buddy. (singing, as Kristoff)
BUT PEOPLE SMELL BETTER THAN REINDEERS.

SVEN, DON'T YOU THINK I'M RIGHT?

(As Sven)
THATS ONCE AGAIN TRUE, FOR ALL EXCEPT YOU.
(As Kristoff)
YOU GOT ME. LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT. (As Sven)
GOOD NIGHT.
(As Kristoff)
DON'T LET THE FROSTBITE BITE.
The door opens. Anna enters.

ANNA
Nice duet.
Kristoff sits up with a start...sees who it is.
KRISTOFF
Oh, its just you. What do you want?
ANNA
I want you to take me up the North
Mountain.

FROZEN - J. Lee

44
KRISTOFF
I dont take people places.
He lays back down, closes his eyes.
ANNA
Let me rephrase that...
A sack of supplies lands in Kristoffs lap.
KRISTOFF
Umph.
He sits up. Looks in the bag.
ANNA
Take me up the North Mountain....
Please.
He eyes her. He clearly doesnt take orders.
ANNA (CONTD) Look, I know how to stop this winter.
He considers, lies back down, pulls his hat over his
eyes.
KRISTOFF
We leave at dawn.... And you forgot the carrots for Sven.
A bag of carrots hits Kristoff in the face.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Ugh!
ANNA
Oops. Sorry. Sorry. Im sorry. I didnt-(catching herself) We leave now. Right now.

She steps back outside and waits, anxiously. Annoyed,

Kristoff offers Sven a carrot. Sven has a bite. Then
Kristoff has a bite, contemplating.
SLAM CUT TO:
EXT. MOUNTAIN HIGH NIGHT
Sven races, top speed, up a narrow cliff, pulling the
sled, which skids precariously. Kristoff mans the reins.
Anna sits beside him.

KRISTOFF (trying to scare Anna)

Hang on! We like to go fast!

ANNA (fearless)

I like fast!
Anna leans back and puts her feet up on the dashboard.
KRISTOFF
Whoa, whoa! Get your feet down.
He pushes her feet down.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
This is fresh lacquer. Seriously, were you raised in a
barn?
Kristoff spits on the dash to clean it. The spit flies
back and hits Anna in the face.
ANNA (grossed out)

Ew. No, I was raised in a castle.

She wipes off her face.
KRISTOFF
So tell me, what made the Queen go all ice-crazy?
ANNA
...Oh well, it was all my fault. I got engaged but then she
freaked out because Id only just met him, you know, that
day. And she said she wouldnt bless the marriage-KRISTOFF
Wait. You got engaged to someone you just met?
ANNA

Yeah. Anyway, I got mad and so she got mad and then she
tried to walk away, and I grabbed her glove--

KRISTOFF
Hang on. You mean to tell me you got engaged to someone
you just met?!

FROZEN - J. Lee

46

ANNA
Yes. Pay attention. But the thing is she wore the gloves
all the time, so I just thought, maybe she has a thing
about dirt.
KRISTOFF
Didnt your parents ever warn you about strangers?
Anna eyes Kristoff up and down, then slides away from him.

ANNA
Yes, they did.... But Hans is not a stranger.
KRISTOFF
Oh yeah? Whats his last name?
ANNA
...Of-the-Southern-Isles?
KRISTOFF
Whats his favorite food?
ANNA
...Sandwiches.
KRISTOFF
Best friends name?
ANNA
Probably John.
KRISTOFF
Eye color.
ANNA
Dreamy.
KRISTOFF
Foot size...?

ANNA
Foot size doesnt matter.
KRISTOFF
Have you had a meal with him yet? What if you hate the
way he eats? What if you hate the way he picks his nose?
ANNA
Picks his nose?

FROZEN - J. Lee

47
KRISTOFF
And eats it.
ANNA
Excuse me, sir. Hes a prince.
KRISTOFF
All men do it.
ANNA
Ew. Look it doesnt matter; its true love.
KRISTOFF
Doesnt sound like true love.
ANNA
Are you some sort of love expert?
KRISTOFF
No. But I have friends who are.
ANNA
You have friends who are love experts.... Im not buying
it.
Sven suddenly stops, ears perked in alarm.
KRISTOFF (to Anna)

Stop talking.
ANNA
No, no, no. Id like to meet these-Kristoff clamps his hand over Annas mouth.
KRISTOFF
I mean it. SHHH.
Kristoff stands, looks into the dark woods surrounding

them. Sensing something behind them, he holds up his

lantern. Its light reflects off...EYES. Several.
KRISTOFF(CONTD)
Sven, go. Go!
Sven takes off.
ANNA
What are they?
KRISTOFF
Wolves.

FROZEN - J. Lee

48
Flashes of white dart through the woods. Kristoff hops
into the back of the sled, grabs a torch. Lights it.
ANNA
Wolves. What do we do?
KRISTOFF
Ive got this. You just...dont fall off and dont get
eaten.
ANNA
But I wanna help.
KRISTOFF
No.
ANNA
Why not?
KRISTOFF Because I dont trust your judgement.
ANNA
Excuse me?!
A wolf jumps at them, but Kristoff kicks it off.
KRISTOFF
Who marries a man she just met?
Anna grabs the lute, swings it right at Kristoffs head.
ANNA
Its true love!
He screams, as she...BAM!...swings past Kristoff and
knocks a wolf away.
KRISTOFF (shocked)

Whoa.
Just then Kristoff is yanked off the sled by another
wolf. The torch goes flying. Anna catches it, shocked.
ANNA
Christopher!
Kristoff grabs onto a loose rope hanging from the back of
the sled and holds on for dear life as hes dragged
behind.
KRISTOFF
Its Kristoff!

FROZEN - J. Lee

49
A wolf jumps on Kristoffs back.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
AH!
Anna thinks fast, uses the torch to light a blanket on
fire.

ANNA
Duck!
Anna throws the flaming blanket right at him. He ducks.
The blanket hits the wolves. They tumble off Kristoff.
KRISTOFF
You almost set me on fire!
Anna reaches out a hand, pulls Kristoff back onto the
sled.
ANNA
But I didnt.
Sven cries out. There is a massive gorge ahead.
ANNA (CONTD)
Get ready to jump, Sven!
KRISTOFF
You dont tell him what to do!
Kristoff shoves a satchel into her arms then scoops her
up.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
I do!
Kristoff tosses Anna onto Sven, then unhooks Svens
harness from the sled.

KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Jump, Sven!
Sven jumps the gorge with Anna on his back.
Kristoff goes flying off behind them, still on the sled.
Anna and Sven land safely on the other side of the gorge.
Kristoffs sled loses momentum. Its not going to make
it. He leaps off. He flaps his arms, claws at the air.
He slams into the snowy edge of the cliff. Hanging by his
hands, he looks down to see his sled hit the ground far
below and burst into flames.

KRISTOFF (CONTD) (shocked sadness)

...But I just paid it off.

Suddenly, he starts to slip. He claws at the loose snow,
but its clearly hopeless. Hes going down.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Uh-oh. No, no, no.
To make matters worse, an AXE comes flying right at his
face.

KRISTOFF (CONTD)
AH! NO, NO, NO!
The axe slams into the snow, inches from his nose.
ANNA (O.S.)
Grab on!
Kristoff grabs on.
ANNA (CONTD)
Pull, Sven! Pull!
REVEAL: The axe is tied to a rope, then wrapped around
Sven. Anna helps Sven pull Kristoff to safety.
Kristoff rolls onto his back, exhausted. Anna peeks down
at the burning sled.
ANNA (CONTD)
Whoa.... Ill replace your sled and everything in it.
Kristoff groans.
ANNA (CONTD)
And I understand if you dont want to help me anymore.

Anna walks off, sadly. Sven comes over and nuzzles

Kristoff.

KRISTOFF
Of course I dont want to help her anymore. In fact, this
whole thing has ruined me for helping anyone ever again.
KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONTD)
But shell die on her own.
KRISTOFF (AS SELF) (CONTD)
I can live with that.

FROZEN - J. Lee

51

Through their conversation, they watch Anna go the wrong

way...turn, go the other wrong way, turn, trip...
KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONTD) But you wont get your new
sled if shes dead.
KRISTOFF (CONTD) (knowing hes got a point)

...You know sometimes I really dont like you.

Sven licks Kristoff happily.
KRISTOFF (AS SELF) (CONTD) (to Anna)
Hold up. Were coming?!
ANNA (excited)
You are?!
(catching herself)
I mean, sure. Ill let you tag along.

DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. SHARP MOUNTAIN RIDGE DAWN
Kristoff, Sven and Anna walk on a narrow rim of a mountain.

DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. MOUNTAIN FOREST CLEARING DAY
As they step out of the thick trees, Anna catches sight
of something far below.
ANNA
Arendelle.
KRISTOFF
Its completely frozen.

ANNA
...But itll be fine. Elsa will thaw it.
KRISTOFF
Will she?

FROZEN - J. Lee

52
ANNA (uncertain)

...Yeah. Now come on. This way to the North Mountain?

She points straight ahead.
KRISTOFF
More like this way.
He points her finger up towards a perilously mighty
mountain.

DISSOLVE TO:
INT. FROZEN WILLOW TREES DAY
Anna, Kristoff, and Sven walk beneath frozen willows. The
hanging branches glisten like Christmas lights. Sven
knocks them with his antlers. They tinkle like chimes.
ANNA
I never knew winter could be so beautiful.
Suddenly, a voice comes in from nowhere. Well call that
voice OLAF.
OLAF (O.S.) YEAH...It really is beautiful,

isnt it? But its so white. You know, how about a little
color? Must we bleach the joy out of it all? Im thinking
like maybe some crimson, chartreuse...
While this is going on, Anna and Kristoff look around for
the source of the rambling. They look at Sven - could he
actually be talking? Sven looks back at them, his antlers
tangled in branches, just as baffled as they are.
In the meantime, a nose-less snowman, Olaf, wanders up

behind them.
OLAF (CONTD)
How bout yellow--no, not yellow.
Yellow and snow? Brrrr...no go.
He stops between Kristoff and Anna. They look down at
him. How did he get there? He suddenly looks up at Anna.
OLAF (CONTD)
Am I right?

FROZEN - J. Lee

53

Anna SCREAMS! Reflexes take over and she kicks Olafs head,
sending it flying off his body and into Kristoffs arms.
OLAF (CONTD) (cheery, to Kristoff)

Hi!
KRISTOFF
Youre creepy.
Kristoff tosses the head back to Anna and they commence a
game of hot potato.
ANNA
I dont want it!
KRISTOFF
Backatchya!
OLAF
Please dont drop me.
ANNA
Dont!
KRISTOFF
Come on, its just a head.
ANNA
No!
Olafs body runs at Anna, arms waving.
OLAF (O.S.)
All right, we got off to a bad start.
ANNA
Ew, ew, the body!
Anna slams Olafs head back on the body, upside down.

Olaf smiles happily, then looks confused.

OLAF
Wait, what am I looking at right now? Why are you hanging
off the earth like a bat?
ANNA (sympathetic)

...Okay. Wait one second.

Anna kneels in front of Olaf and rights his head.

FROZEN - J. Lee

54
OLAF
Oooh! Thank you!
ANNA
Youre welcome.
OLAF
Now Im perfect.
She looks over his innocent face, gets an idea.
ANNA
Well, almost.
She digs into Kristoffs satchel, holds up a carrot just
as Olaf turns toward her. The carrot accidentally slams
all the way through his head.
OLAF
Woo! Head rush!
ANNA
Oh! Too hard. Im sorry! I-I, I was just.... Are you
okay?
Olaf sees a tiny piece of carrot sticking out between his
eyes. He lights up.
OLAF
Are you kidding me? I am wonderful! Ive always wanted a
nose.
(going cross-eyed to look at his tiny nose)
So cute. Its like a little baby unicorn.
Anna reaches behind Olaf to the bulk of the carrot
sticking out the back of his head, and pushes it forward.
OLAF (CONTD) What? Hey! Whoa.

(seeing his now big nose) Oh, I love it even more! Hah....
All right, lets start this thing over. Hi everyone. Im
Olaf. And I like warm hugs.

Olaf opens his arms wide to Anna. That triggers a memory.

It takes her a moment to place it, but then she does.
ANNA
Olaf?...Thats right, Olaf.

FROZEN - J. Lee

55
OLAF
...And you are?
ANNA
Oh, um...Im Anna.
OLAF
And whos the funky-looking donkey over there?
ANNA
Thats Sven.
OLAF
Uh-huh. And whos the reindeer?
ANNA
...Sven.
Olaf looks from Kristoff to Sven, confused.
OLAF
Oh. Theyre--oh, okay....
(accepting it)
Makes things easier for me.
Sven tries to bite Olafs nose.
OLAF (CONTD)
Ha. Aw, look at him tryin to kiss my nose.
(gushes)
I like you, too!
ANNA
Olaf, did Elsa build you?
OLAF
Yeah. Why?

Curious, Kristoff takes one of Olafs twig arms off,

studies it. It seems to be moving in sync with his other
arm.

ANNA
Do you know where she is?
KRISTOFF (studying the arm)

Fascinating...
OLAF
Yeah. Why?

FROZEN - J. Lee

56

ANNA
Do you think you could show us the way?
OLAF
Yeah. Why?
KRISTOFF (bending the arm)

How does this work?

Olafs dismembered arm slaps Kristoff across the face.
OLAF
Stop it, Sven. Trying to focus here.
(to Anna) Yeah, why?

KRISTOFF
Ill tell you why. We need Elsa to bring back summer.
OLAF (shocked)
Summer?
(sinking into wistfulness) Oh, I dont know why but Ive
always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things
hot.

KRISTOFF
Really? Im guessing you dont have much experience with
heat.
OLAF
Nope. But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine
what itd be like when summer does come.

OLAF (CONTD)
So, come on! Elsas this way. Lets go bring back summer!
Olaf grabs Annas hand and pulls her along up the

EXT. ARENDELLE, VILLAGE DAY

A layer of solid ice coats everything. People huddle around
weak fires. Anxiety runs high amongst the villagers and
guests. We pass two CITIZENS fighting over a woodpile.

CITIZEN ONE
No. No. Youve got the bark facing down. The bark needs to
be face-up.
CITIZEN TWO
Bark down is drier.
CITIZEN ONE
Bark up.
CITIZEN TWO

Like a light in the dark, Hans moves through the crowd.
HANS
Cloak. Does anyone need a cloak?
GERDA
Arendelle is indebted to you, Your
Highness.
HANS
The castle is open. Theres soup and hot glgg in the Great
Hall.
He hands the stack of cloaks to a guard.
HANS (CONTD)
Here. Pass these out.

Just then the Duke approaches Hans.

DUKE
Prince Hans, are we just expected to sit here and freeze
while you give away all of Arendelles tradable goods?
HANS
(tall and confident)
Princess Anna has given her orders and--

FROZEN - J. Lee

DUKE
And thats another thing; has it dawned on you that your
princess may be conspiring with a wicked sorceress to
destroy us all?
Hanss nice eyes turn to threatening slits.
HANS
Do not question the Princess. She left me in charge, and
I will not hesitate to protect Arendelle from treason.
DUKE (flabbergasted, offended)

Treason?!
Suddenly they hear the alarmed whinny of Annas horse. It
returns alone, bucking and kicking. Hans grabs its reins.

HANS
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, boy. Easy. Easy.
CROWD (various)
Princess Annas horse. What happened to her? Where is she?
Hans steadies the horse, looks up at the mountain. He sees
all the panicked faces of the kingdom looking to him.

HANS
...Princess Anna is in trouble. (calling out)
I need volunteers to go with me to find her!
Volunteers, some from Arendelle, some from other lands,
rush up to offer their services.
DUKE
I volunteer two men, my Lord! (quietly to his thugs)
Be prepared for anything, and should you encounter the
Queen, you are to put an end to this winter. Do you

Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf move through hostile
terrain. Wind-swept icicles face horizontal.
KRISTOFF
So how exactly are you planning to stop this weather?
ANNA (confident)

Oh, I am gonna talk to my sister.

KRISTOFF
Thats your plan? My ice business is riding on you
talking to your sister.
ANNA
Yup.
Kristoff, so stunned by her casual plan, doesnt look where
hes going and ends up with an ice-spike to the nose. He
stops short, GULP, moves carefully around the spike.

KRISTOFF
So youre not at all afraid of her?
ANNA
Why would I be?
OLAF (oblivious)
Yeah. I bet Elsas the nicest, gentlest, warmest person
ever.

Olaf backs right into an icicle. It runs through his

torso.
OLAF (CONTD) Oh, look at that. Ive been impaled.

KRISTOFF
...Its too steep. Ive only got one rope, and you dont
know how to climb mountains.

Sven nudges Kristoff, who looks up to see Anna trying to
climb the cliffs flat face.
KRISTOFF
(finding her ridiculous) What are you doing?
ANNA (straining)

...Im going to see my sister.

KRISTOFF
Youre going to kill yourself.
Kristoff watches her searching for footholds and handholds.

KRISTOFF (CONTD)
I wouldnt put my foot there.
ANNA (O.S.)
Youre distracting me.
KRISTOFF
Or there. How do you know Elsa even wants to see you?
ANNA (O.S.)
Im just blocking you out cause I gotta concentrate here.
KRISTOFF
You know, most people who disappear into the mountains

Kristoff smiles, getting a kick out of her.
KRISTOFF
Hang on.
He pulls the rope from his bag. Just then Olaf steps out
from behind a rock and waves to Kristoff.
OLAF
Hey, Sven? Not sure if this is going to solve the
problem, but I found a staircase that leads exactly where
you want it to go.
ANNA
Ha ha. Thank goodness. Catch!
Anna drops off the cliff. Kristoff catches her.
ANNA (CONTD)
Thanks! That was like a crazy trust exercise.
She hops down, brushes off her dress, and bounds off.
Kristoff watches after her, digging her fearless pluck.

Go ahead. I wont judge.
Anna climbs the steps with Olaf. Sven tries to follow.
His hooves slip out. He scrambles but cant get traction.
Kristoff runs to his aide.
KRISTOFF
All right, take it easy. I gotcha.
Kristoff settles Sven back down the stairs and pats him.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
You stay right here, buddy.
Sven obediently plops his reindeer butt down and wags his
tail. Kristoff climbs the stairs, admiring the ice details.

KRISTOFF (CONTD)
...Flawless.
Anna arrives at the door. Hesitates.
OLAF
...Knock....
(she doesnt) Just knock....
(she doesnt. To Kristoff) Why isnt she knocking...? Do
you think she knows how to knock?

Anna finally KNOCKS. The sound echoes inside. The ice

doors slide open.
ANNA
Ha. It opened. Thats a first.
Anna goes to step in. Kristoff follows. She gets a
thought, stops him.
ANNA (CONTD)

ELSA (on guard)

No, its okay. You dont have to apologize.... But you

should probably go, please.
ANNA
But I just got here.
ELSA
...You belong in Arendelle.
ANNA
So do you.
Anna takes another step up. Elsa backs up more.
ELSA
No, I belong here. Alone. Where I can be who I am without
hurting anybody.
ANNA
...Actually, about that-OLAF (O.S.) 58...59...60.
ELSA
Wait. What is that?
Olaf comes running in the front door. He waves.

Olaf stops beside Anna, looks up at Elsa, intimidated.

ELSA (astonished)

And you're alive?

OLAF
Um...I think so?

But as Anna sings, we lose sight of her in the thickening
blizzard taking over the room.
ELSA
NO!
ANNA (O.S.)
WE CAN CHANGE THIS WINTER WEATHER,
AND EVERYTHING WILL BE...
Annas voice disappears in the storm as Elsa cries out.

ELSA
I CANT!
Elsas fear, so strong, sucks the blizzard back into her
and then it bursts out, unwittingly, like a sharp
snowflake.

Anna is STRUCK right in the heart. She grasps her chest

in pain and stumbles back. She falls to her knees.
Elsa gasps when she sees Anna. Just then, Olaf and
Kristoff rush into the room to Annas side.
KRISTOFF
Anna. Are you okay?

ANNA
Im okay.... Im fine.
Anna gets to her feet, determined to hide the pain.

Whos this? Wait, it doesnt matter. You have to go.

ANNA
No, I know we can figure this out together-ELSA (desperate)

How? What power do you have to stop this winter? To stop

me?
Anna doesnt have the answer. Kristoff sees spiky ice
shadows creeping down the walls. Puts a protective arm
around Anna.

KRISTOFF
Anna, I think we should go.
ANNA (close to tears)

No. Im not leaving without you, Elsa.

ELSA
(heartbroken but decisive) Yes, you are.
Elsa waves her arms and builds a giant, menacing snowman.
Well call him MARSHMALLOW.

Marshmallow holds Anna and Kristoff by the scruff of

Marshmallow tosses Kristoff and Anna down the steps.

Olafs head smashes into a snowbank nearby.
ANNA
Olaf!
OLAF
Watch out for my butt!
Anna and Kristoff duck as the rest of Olaf slams into the
snowbank.
Marshmallow turns to go back into the castle.
Incensed, Anna tries to march back up the stairs.
ANNA
It is not nice to throw people!
Kristoff grabs her, pulls her back.

KRISTOFF
All right feisty pants.
ANNA
Let me at him. I want to get
Calm down. Woaw. Just let
him. I.... Okay. Im Calm.
Anna backs down...for a moment. Then she grabs a snowball
and throws it at Marshmallow.
The tiny little ball hits Marshmallows back, not making

even the slightest dent. But its enough to infuriate

him. He ROARS. Spikes shoot out of his joints.
KRISTOFF
Uh-oh. Now you made him mad!
OLAF
...Ill distract him. You guys go.
Kristoff pushes Anna along. Sven runs off in the opposite
direction. Olafs belly and butt fall and follow Sven.

OLAF (CONTD)
No, no, not you guys.

FROZEN - J. Lee

73
Marshmallow goes charging after Anna and Kristoff as
Olafs head falls and lands face down in snow.
OLAF (CONTD) (muffled)
This just got a whole lot harder.
Anna and Kristoff leap and slide down a steep slope. They
tumble to a stop at the bottom just as Marshmallow lands
hard right behind them.
Theyre off again...through a maze of conifers that sag
under the weight of the snow, Marshmallow hot on their
trail.

KRISTOFF
This way!
Anna grabs a branch of a sagging trees and releases all of
the snow. The tree snaps upright, knocking Marshmallow
back.

KRISTOFF (CONTD) (impressed)

Ho-ho-ho!
ANNA
I got him!
Anna and Kristoff burst out of the conifer forest and
almost run right off a cliff. They stop short, toes on the
edge.

KRISTOFF
Whoa, stop!
ANNA
Its a hundred foot drop.
KRISTOFF

Its two hundred.

Kristoff ties the rope around Anna and pulls tight.
ANNA
Ow.
He drops to his knees and starts digging a u-shape in the
snow with a pick axe.
ANNA (CONTD)
Whats that for?
KRISTOFF
Im digging a snow anchor.

FROZEN - J. Lee

74
ANNA (not trusting)

Okay. What if we fall?

KRISTOFF
Theres twenty feet of fresh powder down there; itll be
like landing on a pillow.... Hopefully.
They hear an angry ROAR coming closer.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Okay, Anna. On three.
Anna preps for the jump like a boxer getting ready to
fight.

ANNA
Okay. You tell me when...
KRISTOFF
One...
ANNA
...Im ready to go....
KRISTOFF
Two...
ANNA (pumped up)

...I was BORN ready! Yes!

KRISTOFF
Calm down.
A huge tree flies through the air toward them.
ANNA (O.S.)
TREE!

Anna jumps and pulls Kristoff over the edge with her.
They hang upside down over the cliff by the rope. The
rope catches their fall.
KRISTOFF
Whoa! That happened.
Back up top, Olaf emerges from the woods. Hes a complete
mess, all his body parts are in the wrong places. He
huffs and puffs, struggling to run.
OLAF
Ah. Ah. Man, am I out of shape.

FROZEN - J. Lee

75
He stops. Puts his body back together in the right order.
OLAF (CONTD)
There we go. Hey, Anna! Sven!
Whered ya guys go? We totally lost
Marshmallow back there!
Marshmallow steps up behind Olaf. Olaf turns to face him.
OLAF (CONTD) (happily)
Hey. We were just talking about you. All good things, all
good things.
Marshmallow roars and approaches Kristoffs snow anchor.
OLAF (CONTD)
NO!
Olaf jumps onto Marshmallows leg trying to stop him, but
not making much of a difference.
OLAF (CONTD) This is not making much of a difference!
Marshmallow flicks Olaf off his leg and right over the
cliff.

OLAF (CONTD)
WHOA!
Olaf passes Anna and Kristoff.
ANNA

OLAF
Hang in there, guys!

Marshmallow starts yanking Kristoff and Annas rope up.

ANNA
Wait, what?
Kristoffs head hits the cliff.
KRISTOFF
Aargghh!
Kristoff passes out and hangs like a rag doll.
ANNA
Kristoff!

Marshmallow pulls them up. He roars and breathes snow all
over them.
MARSHMALLOW
Dont come back!
ANNA
(grossed out by his snow breath)
Ugh. We wont.
Anna whips out a knife and cuts the rope. Kristoff comes
to just as they fall. They both SCREAM!
SLAM!
REVEAL: Anna opens her eyes to find herself buried up to
her shoulders in the soft thick snow. She laughs.
ANNA (CONTD)
Hey, you were right. Just like a pillow.
She looks up to see Olafs upper half hanging onto
Kristoffs boots, which are sticking out of the snow.
OLAF (shaking the boots)

I cant feel my legs! I cant feel my legs!

Suddenly, Kristoffs head pops up. He spits out snow.
KRISTOFF
Those are my legs.
Olafs bottom goes running by.
OLAF (to Kristoff)

Ooh. Hey, do me a favor, grab my butt.

Kristoff grabs Olafs head and puts it on his body.

OLAF (CONTD)
Oh, that feels better.
Sven walks up and sniffs Olafs nose.
OLAF (CONTD)
Hey, Sven!

FROZEN - J. Lee

77
Olaf turns to Anna and Kristoff just as Sven goes to bite
off his nose -- and misses.
OLAF (CONTD) He found us.
(to Sven, funny voice) Whos my cute little reindeer?

KRISTOFF
Dont talk to him like that.
Kristoff goes over to help Anna, who is stuck in the
snow.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Here.
He lifts her out easily.
ANNA (impressed)

Whoa!
KRISTOFF
You okay?
ANNA
Thank you.
They meet eyes. Wait. Is that chemistry?
ANNA (CONTD)
...Um.... Hows your head?
She touches the spot where he banged his head.
KRISTOFF (in pain)

Ah! Ooh!

He catches himself. Waves off the pain with a giggle.

KRISTOFF (CONTD)
I mean, Its fine. Ah...Im good.
Ha. Ive got a thick skull.
OLAF
I dont have a skull.... Or bones.
KRISTOFF
...So....
The awkwardness is killing him.

KRISTOFF (CONTD)
(shy) Now what?
ANNA
(shy) Now what?
(then...panicking)
Now what?! Oh! What am I gonna do? She threw me out. I
cant go back to Arendelle with the weather like this.
And then theres your ice business-KRISTOFF
Hey, hey, dont worry about my ice business...
(noticing something) Worry about your hair?!

She thinks he means it looks bad. She smooths it down.

ANNA
What? I just fell off a cliff. You should see your hair.
KRISTOFF
No, yours is turning white.
She grabs her braid as a tendril turns white.
ANNA
White? Its what?
KRISTOFF
Its because she struck you; isnt it?
ANNA
Does it look bad?
KRISTOFF (thinking)

...No.
Olafs head pops up. Hes holding his head up off his
body to join the conversation.

OLAF
You hesitated.
KRISTOFF
No, I didnt. Anna, you need help.
Now, come on.

FROZEN - J. Lee

79
He heads towards the sunset. Sven and Olaf follow.
OLAF
Okay! Where are we going?
KRISTOFF
To see my friends.
ANNA (catching up)

The love experts?

OLAF
Love experts?!
KRISTOFF
Yes. And dont worry; theyll be able to fix this.
ANNA
How do you know?
He looks her over, remembering the moment he saw the
trolls heal her as a child.
KRISTOFF
...Because Ive seen them do it before.
As they round the bend, the sun sets and Olaf turns to
Sven.

OLAF
I like to consider myself a love expert.

Elsa paces, distraught. She talks to herself.

ELSA (mantra-style)
Get it together. Control it. Dont feel. Dont feel. Dont

She hears ice cracking. Stops. Looks around. Shes left a

sharp wake of ice spikes behind her on the floor. They
grow up the wall, taking over the castle.

The Northern Lights are bright. Olaf stares at them in
awe as he rides on Svens back.
OLAF
Look, Sven. The skys awake.
Behind Olaf and Sven, Anna walks with Kristoff. She
shivers.

KRISTOFF
Are you cold?
ANNA
...A little.
He reaches like he might put an arm around her, but
decides against it. He looks around as if he doesnt know
what to do, then gets a thought.
KRISTOFF
Wait. Come here.
He takes her hand and pulls her around a bend into a
rock-lined pass.
Steam vents, powered by the volcanic activity, dot the
path. He holds her hands over one of them.
ANNA
Oooh.... Thats nice.
They continue on the path, walking from vent to vent.
KRISTOFF (taking a deep breath)

So, about my friends...well, I say friends, theyre more

like family.... Anyway, when I was a kid, it was just me

and Sven...until they took me in.

ANNA (moved)

They did?
KRISTOFF (nervous ramble)
Yeah. I dont want to scare you, they can be a little bit
inappropriate...and loud...very loud...theyre also
stubborn at times, and a little overbearing. And heavy.
Really, really heavy.

Anna touches Kristoffs arm, reassuringly.
ANNA
Kristoff, they sound wonderful.
Kristoff smiles, appreciating her sincerity.
KRISTOFF
Okay then....
Mustering the courage, Kristoff steps forward and with a
wave of the arms announces-KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Meet my family.
REVEAL: hes surrounded by rocks.
KRISTOFF (CONTD) (to the rocks)

Hey, guys!
As Kristoff and Sven move through the rocks, waving and
greeting, Olaf and Anna stand frozen, dumbfounded.
ANNA (to herself)

...Theyre rocks.
OLAF (realizing)
Hes crazy.
(covertly, to Anna)
Ill distract them while you run. (Loud and slow to a rock)
Hi, Svens family! Its nice to meet you!
(quietly to Anna)

Anna, because I love you, I insist you run.

(to the rock)
I understand youre love experts! (to Anna)
Why arent you running?
Anna snaps out of her shock and starts backing away.
ANNA
Okay. Um...Im gonna go-Just then the rocks around her start rolling.

Olaf lights up and chases the rocks, who surround
Kristoff and unfold as trolls.

Olaf jumps around all excitedly.

OLAF (excitedly)

Kristoffs home.
He then stops, confused, and looks to one of the trolls.
OLAF (CONTD)
Wait? Kristoff?
Anna watches, shocked and confused.
The trolls all want Kristoffs attention. One troll yanks
him down with a boulders strength.
TROLL ONE
Oh, lemme look at you!
Another troll tries to pull off his clothes.
TROLL TWO
Oh, take off your clothes,
Kristoff; I wash them.

KRISTOFF (holding up his pants)

Ah! No. Im gonna keep my clothes on, thank you.

KRISTOFF (CONTD) Great to see you all. Wheres grandpa?

The kid troll jumps up on Kristoffs arm. Kristoff sinks
under the weight of him.
Anna still stares, confused, then realizes...
ANNA
Trolls? Theyre trolls.
Silence. All troll eyes turn to Anna. Blink. Blink.
BULDA
...Hes brought a girl!
TROLLS (TOGETHER)
Hes brought a girl!
Suddenly Anna is surrounded by trolls. They body-surf/roll
Anna over to Kristoff. She falls into his arms.

ANNA
Whats going on?
KRISTOFF
Ive learned to just roll with it.
Bulda climbs on top of her husband, Cliff, to get a good
look at Anna. She studies her like shes a piece of
cattle.
BULDA
Let me see. Bright eyes. Working nose. Strong teeth. Yes,
yes, yes. Shell do nicely for our Kristoff.

Wait. Oh. Um. No.

Shes as cold as ice.
Just then Grand Pabbie pushes his way through the crowd.
Trolls clear the way for Pabbie. He stops at the edge of
the pit.

Theres strange magic here!

GRAND PABBIE

Kristoff helps Anna over. Pabbie looks into her weak

is ice in your heart, put there by your sister. If not
removed, to solid ice will you freeze, forever.

Hans and the men tread cautiously towards the castle.

HANS
We are here to find Princess Anna. Be on guard, but no harm
is to come to the Queen. Do you understand?
The Dukes thugs exchange a look. Suddenly, a mass of
snow rises from the ground behind Hans. Its Marshmallow,
Elsas snow guard.
MARSHMALLOW
Go away!
He slams a fist inches from Hans. Hans deftly dodges out
of the way. All of the guards take up arms against
Marshmallow, who quickly knocks them over.
Marshmallow throws down a guard and his horse, who topple
over Hans. Marshmallow raises his foot to stomp on Hans,
but Hans barrel-rolls himself to safety. He sees his

sword, leaps, and grabs it.

Just then, Elsa peeks out the front doors.
The Dukes two thugs see her.
DUKES THUG

The thugs charge up the stairs.

They guards burst through the ice doors.
Elsa flees to the top floor of her palace. The guards
pursue.

They trap her on the top floor, raise their crossbows.

ELSA (scared)

No. Please.
One of the thugs shoots an arrow right at Elsa. At the
last moment she creates an ice wall. It stops the arrow,
inches from her face.
The thugs reposition to take another shot.
ELSA (CONTD)
Stay away!
Elsa shoots ice at the thugs. They duck out of the way
and continue the attack.
THUG
Get her! Get her!
Elsa fights for her life.
BACK OUTSIDE: Hans is nearly crushed by Marshmallow. He
rolls away. Jumps to his feet. And with agile might, he
slices Marshmallows leg off with his sword. Marshmallow
stumbles back, off balance. And falls off over the cliff,
but not before striking Hans. Hans goes over the edge.
REVEAL: Hans clings to the ice steps. His men help him up
and they rush into the ice palace.

INT. ICE PALACE DAY

Elsa is surrounded. Its do or die. In two swift moves,
Elsa traps one thug in a cage of spikes that threaten his
neck.

The other she pushes back with a wall of ice....up

against the balcony doors...which BURST and CRACK.
OUT ONTO THE BALCONY.... The balcony doors shatter. The
thug is pushed to the edge. Hes inches away from falling
to his death.
BACK INSIDE: Hans and his men run in. See the destruction
and the thugs near death.

HANS
Queen Elsa! Dont be the monster they fear you are.
Elsa snaps out of her rage. She sees the men, frightened,
moments from death. She stops. Elsa looks to Hans,
overwhelmed, frightened.
The wall retreats from the thug on the balcony. The ice
spikes lower from the second thugs neck. He takes
advantage and aims his crossbow at Elsas back.
Seeing it. Hans runs and pushes the crossbow up just as
the arrow releases. The arrow hits the ice chandelier,
hanging directly above Elsa.
The chandelier comes CRASHING DOWN.
Elsa dives out of the way but she falls in the blast.
All we see is ice smashing like glass, and all we hear is
the sound of it shattering as it rings out.
CUT TO BLACK.
FADE IN ON:
Elsas face as her eyes flutter open.
She sits up. Shes surrounded by stone.
INT. ARENDELLE, DUNGEON DAY
Elsa looks to the nearby window. Tries to rush to it.
Shes pulled taut by giant shackles that fit like iron
gloves. Shes chained to the wall.
Elsa strains to looks out a window...

INSET WINDOW: Arendelle is outside, frozen solid and

getting further buried under the ice and snow that is
falling.

Hans enters. He hangs a torch by the door.

HANS
I couldnt just let them kill you.

Elsa looks to the storm with worry.

summer...please.
Elsa meets his eyes, desperate.
ELSA
Dont you see...I cant.
Hans sees the sincerity in her eyes.
ELSA (CONTD)
You have to tell them to let me go.
Hans walks to the door. He takes the torch.
HANS

He opens the door and leaves.
Elsa, distraught, hears cracking. She looks down as her
shackles begin to freeze over. The storm outside picks up.

Anna looks up at him, gratefully.
ANNA

KRISTOFF (touched, reassuring)

Dont worry about me.

Just then the castle gates open. Gerda, Kai, and a

grounds.

Kristoff stands there with Sven for a beat, staring with
worry at the closed gates.

She tries to kiss him, but is too weak to pull herself up

ANNA (shivering more)

She froze my heart and only an act of true love can save

He takes her chin in his hand and gives her a tender smile.
He leans in slowly...gently...

Then he stops.
HANS (CONTD)
Oh, Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved

Hans gets up, leaving her there.

He goes to the window and shuts the curtains.
HANS
As thirteenth in line in my own kingdom, I didnt stand a
chance. I knew Id have to marry into the throne
somewhere-ANNA

HANS
(putting out the candles) As heir, Elsa was preferable, of
course. But no one was getting anywhere with her. But youANNA
Hans?
HANS
You were so desperate for love you were willing to marry
me, just like that.
Hans crosses the room, grabs a pitcher of water from a
table and goes to the fireplace.
HANS (CONTD)

I figured, after we married, Id have to stage a little

accident for Elsa.
Hans pours the water on the fireplace, putting out the
fire. Anna tries to stop him. She falls to the floor, weak.

ANNA

But then she doomed herself, and you were dumb enough to
go after her.

summer.
Hans approaches Anna.
ANNA
...Youre no match for Elsa.
He bends down, takes her chin in his hand again, this
time not so gently.
HANS
No, youre no match for Elsa. I, on the other hand, am
the hero who is going to save Arendelle from destruction.
She wrenches her face out of his hands.
ANNA (anger)

You wont get away with this.

Hans rises and crosses to the door.
HANS
Oh, I already have.
Hans leaves and shuts her in, locking the door. Anna
struggles to the door, yanks on the locked handle.

GUARD (O.S.)
Shes dangerous. Move quickly and with resolve.
Elsa pulls at her shackles. They crack. Just as the door
busts open, the weight of the ice crumbles the walls. The
men duck out of the way.
Hans pushes his way into the room...sees...
The back wall is blown open. Broken shackles rest on the

Sven nudges Kristoff with his antlers.

Sven drops him hard then yells at him once more.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
No, Sven! Were not going back!
Sven shakes his head, angrily.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Shes with her true love.
Sven makes an of-course-she-isnt face. Kristoff gets
it; hes made his point.
Just then the wind picks up. Kristoff looks back at the
kingdom. Sees a violent winter storm swirling over the
castle. Sharp ice claws its way up the castle, encasing it.

KRISTOFF (CONTD)

Without hesitating, he dashes back down the mountain.
Sven runs after him, catches up. Kristoff grabs Svens
harness and jumps onto his back.

The door handle suddenly jiggles. Stops. Jiggles again.

and hear a giggle of victory. Olaf takes the carrot, puts
it back on his face. Then he sees Anna lying there.

I am not leaving here until we find some other act of
true love to save you.
He sits down behind her, stubbornly. Leans his back
against hers and thinks.
OLAF (CONTD)
...Do you happen to have any ideas?

ANNA
I dont even know what love is.
OLAF (confident)

Thats okay, I do....

Olaf hops back up and puts a soothing hand on her shoulder.

FROZEN - J. Lee

101
OLAF (CONTD)
Love is...putting someone elses needs before yours, like,
you know, how Kristoff brought you back here to Hans and
left you forever.
ANNA
...Kristoff loves me?
OLAF
Wow, you really dont know anything about love, do you?
His face starts to melt.
ANNA
Olaf, youre melting.
OLAF
(sweet and reassuring)
Some people are worth melting for.
But then...his face REALLY melts. He panics, pushes the
snow back in place.
OLAF (CONTD)
Just maybe not right this second.
Suddenly, the window blows open, cold wind sweeps in.
OLAF (CONTD)
Dont worry, Ive got it!
Olaf flitters to the window. He pulls one panel of it
shut but struggles with the second panel.
OLAF (CONTD) (determined)

Were going to get through-- (distracted)

Oh, wait. Hang on. Im getting something.

He breaks an icicle off the window, uses it as a

telescope
and sees...
Kristoff and Sven running back down the mountain.
OLAF (CONTD)
Its Kristoff and Sven! Theyre coming back this way.
ANNA
...They-they are?

FROZEN - J. Lee

102

OLAF
Wow, hes really moving fast. Huh.... I guess I was wrong.
I guess Kristoff doesnt love you enough to leave you
behind.
Anna tries to get to her feet.
ANNA
Help me up, Olaf. Please.
He hurries over, tumbling over the couch, knocking over
the chess set and water jugs.
OLAF
No, no, no, no, no. You need to stay by the fire and keep
warm.
ANNA
I need to get to Kristoff.
OLAF (clueless)
Why...? (realizing)
Oh, oh, oh, I know why.

He hops around in an excited display of hope.

OLAF (CONTD) Theres your act of true love, right there,
riding across the fjords like a valiant, pungent reindeer
king! Come on!

The walls crack under the ice pressure.

OLAF (CONTD)
Look out!
They rush out the room just as the ceiling collapses.
INT. CASTLE HALLWAY DAY

Anna and Olaf struggle down the hall. Ice spikes grow and
block their path.
OLAF
Were trapped.
Anna looks around desperately for a way out.

FROZEN - J. Lee

103
EXT. FJORD DAY
Elsa runs, but is nearly blinded by the snow and wind.
EXT. CASTLE DAY
Anna and Olaf bust open a window. The storm is so strong
it sweeps the window panes away.
OLAF
Slide, Anna.
Its a long, snowy way down. But what choice do they
have? They slide down the iced-covered building.
Anna arrives at the bottom, weak but uninjured. Olaf
gathers snow along the way. He arrives at the bottom as a
giant snowball.
OLAF (CONTD)
We made it!
He shakes off the extra snow as Anna struggles to her feet.

EXT. FJORD DAY

Kristoff and Sven bound off the mountain and sprint
across the frozen fjord waters and right into the heart
of the storm. Its white-out wind pushes them back. But
they fight through.
KRISTOFF
Come on, buddy, faster.

CUT TO:

Anna and Olaf reach the shore of the fjords.

ANNA
Kristoff!
The wind lifts Olaf up and pulls him apart. He goes
swirling off into the storm.
OLAF
Keep going, Anna!
Anna struggles on.

FROZEN - J. Lee

104
ANNA
Kristoff!
PAN TO:
Kristoff rides Sven past cracking, frozen ships. Sven
struggles over the uneven surface.
KRISTOFF
Come on! Come on!
Suddenly, a mangled ship, risen by ice, capsizes over them.
They give it all theyve got as debris falls all around
them and the mast shatters. They make it past just as the
entire ship slams down and cracks the thick ice beneath
their feet.

The ice opens up. Sven bravely jumps over a gap. But its
too wide. He bucks Kristoff to safety, but lands in the
freezing water and disappears below.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Sven? Sven!
At first theres nothing but the wind and the tumbling
icy water. But suddenly, Sven surfaces and claws his way
to a floating ice chunk. He calls out, signalling for
Kristoff to go on.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
Good boy.
CUT TO:
Anna moves blindly across the fjord. Annas hands frost
over an icy blue. She stumbles on, determined. But shes
running out of time.
She clutches her chest. The color in her eyes fades, the
inevitable is coming.

CUT TO:
Kristoff, lost in the white-out, doesnt know which way
to turn. But then he hears a faint-ANNA (O.S.)
Kristoff.
KRISTOFF
Anna...? Anna!
WHITE OUT TO:

FROZEN - J. Lee

105
Elsa struggles through her own storm, but the fear is
consuming her. A dark shadow approaches. Its Hans.

HANS
Elsa. You cant run from this!
Elsa backs away from him.
ELSA
...Just take care of my sister.
HANS
Your sister? She returned from the mountain weak and
cold. She said you froze her heart.
ELSA
What? No.
HANS
I tried to save her, but it was too late. Her skin was
ice. Her hair turned white...
Elsas face sinks as she realizes what she has done.
HANS (CONTD)
Your sister is dead... because of you.
Elsa drops to her knees, emotionally broken. And with
that, the swirling storm suddenly stops. The snow freezes
mid-air, hangs suspended, trapped in grief.
Citizens and dignitaries rush to the walls edge and look
out
to see...

Anna, barely able to move but now able to see across the
fjords to...
ANNA (a whisper)

Kristoff.
KRISTOFF
Anna.
Anna pushes on towards Kristoff. He runs top speed towards
her. Theres still a lot of fjord to cross, but Kristoff is
giving it all hes got. Hes going to make it.

But then, Anna hears the sound of a sword being drawn

from its scabbard. She turns and sees Hans, behind Elsa,
as he raises his sword over his head.

FROZEN - J. Lee

106
ANNA
Elsa.
Anna looks back at Kristoff as he runs for her. She gives
him
a longing look, but then turns away from him and then...

Using all of her remaining strength, as Hans brings his

sword down, Anna throws herself in front of Elsa.
ANNA (CONTD)
No!
In that instant, Anna freezes to solid ice. The sword
hits her instead of Elsa. The sword shatters completely.
The force of it sends Hans flying back and knocks him
out.
ELSA
Anna!
Elsa rushes to Anna and touches her sisters frozen face.
ELSA (CONTD)
Oh, Anna...no...no, please no.
Olaf walks up and sees Anna, frozen.
OLAF (confused, sad)

Anna?
Elsa hugs Anna and cries.
Kristoff watches in shocked despair. Sven steps up to his
side.
Citizens and dignitaries on the castle walls bow their
heads.

All of Arendelle is joined in somber silence.

But then, Anna warms. She begins to thaw.
Olaf looks up and gasps. Kristoff and Sven notice, light
up.

Anna bends her arm and embraces Elsa.

ELSA
Wha-? Anna?
Anna opens her eyes. She smiles at Elsa, relieved.
ANNA
Oh, Elsa.
They embrace.

FROZEN - J. Lee

107
ELSA
...You sacrificed yourself for me?
ANNA
(weak)
...I love you.
Olaf realizes whats happened. Hes so excited about it,
he lifts his head right off his body and exclaims-OLAF
An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart.
ELSA (processing)
Love...will thaw...
(realizing) Love.... Of course.

Elsa looks at Anna with confidence.

ANNA
Elsa?
ELSA
Love.
Elsa lifts her arms, and the ground shakes and cracks. The
ice and snow breaks away and rises high into the air.

Beneath their feet the bow of a ship thaws.

The entire fjord melts and other boats right themselves.
The villagers come out to see the warmth returning.
In one final wave, Elsa draws all of the snow into a
giant snowflake in the sky, then waves it away, leaving
only a warm summer day.
ANNA

I knew you could do it.

OLAF
(melting, good-naturedly) Hands down, this is the best
day of my life...and quite possibly the last.
ELSA
Oh, Olaf. Hang on, little guy.

FROZEN - J. Lee

108
Elsa waves her hand and surrounds Olaf with a swirl of
cold air. He refreezes. Above his head she leaves a
little, perpetually-snowing storm cloud. Olaf loves it.
OLAF
Hey, my own personal flurry.
Kristoff sees Hans trying to get to his feet. He marches
toward him, prepared for a fight. But Anna puts up a hand
and stops him.
ANNA
Uh. Uh. Uh.
Shell handle this. She goes over to Hans.
HANS (confused)

Anna? But she froze your heart.

ANNA
The only frozen heart around here is yours.
She turns away from him, proud of her words. But not yet
satisfied, she turns back and punches him right in the
face.

HANS
Ah! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
He falls overboard.
Elsa comes over to Anna and hugs her. Over her shoulder,
Kristoff meets Annas eyes. She smiles brighter, happy.

DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. ARENDELLE DAY

Its a beautiful summer day. The mighty ships have been

repaired and are sailing away.
On one of the ships, HANS is thrown into a brig.
FRENCH DIGNITARY (to Kai)
I will return this scoundrel to his country. We shall see
what his twelve big brothers think of his behavior.
KAI
Arendelle thanks you, my Lord.

FROZEN - J. Lee

109
Down on the dock, Arendelle guards lead the Duke and his
two thugs to their ship.
DUKE
This is unacceptable. I am innocent. Im a victim of
fear. Ive been traumatized.
(bad acting)
Ow! My neck hurts. Is there a doctor I could...No? And I
demand to see the Queen!
Kai steps down from the gangplank to the dock.
KAI
I have a message from the Queen. (reading a scroll)
Arendelle will henceforth and forever no longer do
business of any sort with Weaseltown.
DUKE
Weselton. Its Weselton!
The guards usher him and his thugs onto their ship.
EXT. VILLAGE SQUARE DAY
Anna runs through the crowd, pulling a blindfolded Kristoff
along behind her. Shes so excited she cant stand it.

ANNA
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on!
She runs him right into a pole.
KRISTOFF
Pole.
ANNA

Oops. Sorry.
EXT. ARENDELLE DOCKS DAY
Anna skips to the perfect spot and stops.
ANNA (stopping)

Okay. Okay. Here we are.

FROZEN - J. Lee

110
She takes off the blindfold. Kristoff opens his eyes.
Before him sits the most beautiful, suped-up sled. Sven
poses in front of it -- Vanna White-style.
ANNA (CONTD)
I owe you a sled.
KRISTOFF (blown away)

Are you serious?

ANNA
Yes. And its the latest model.
KRISTOFF
No. I cant accept this...
ANNA
You have to. No returns. No exchanges. Queens orders.
Shes named you the official Arendelle Ice Master and
Deliverer.
Sven shows off the Ice-Master-and-Deliverer medal like
hes king of the bucks.
KRISTOFF
What? Thats not a thing.
But he cant help but admire her enthusiasm.
ANNA
Sure it is. And it even has a cup holder.... Do you like
it?
KRISTOFF
Like it?
He sweeps her up high overhead and spins her around.

KRISTOFF (CONTD)
I love it.... I could kiss you!
He drops her, suddenly embarrassed.
KRISTOFF (CONTD)
...I could. I mean Id like to. Id... may I? We me....I
mean, may we? Wait, what?
She gives him a quick kiss on the cheek.
ANNA
We may.

FROZEN - J. Lee

111
He smiles and goes for it. Its a true loves kiss,
alright.

We move past them to find Olaf enjoying the summer.

With his snow cloud safely overhead, hes free to smell the
flowers, which he does. Then sneezes his carrot nose off.

Sven catches it between his teeth. Olaf gasps as Sven

sucks the whole carrot into his mouth. Its gone.
Olafs face sinks in sadness. But not to fear, Sven spits
the carrot back out and jams it into Olafs face where it
belongs. Its completely covered in reindeer spit, but
Olaf doesnt seem to mind. He hugs Sven happily.
CUT TO:
EXT. CASTLE COURTYARD DAY
The gates to the castle are wide open. In the courtyard,
stands Elsa.
ELSA
Are you ready?
Villagers cheer. Elsa stops and creates an ice rink. The
people, skates at the ready, hope onto it and twirl about.

Elsa then freezes the fountain in a beautiful design and

adds some snow flurries for atmosphere.
Anna comes slipping in. Elsa catches her.
ANNA
I like the open gates.
ELSA

We are never closing them again.

Elsa then waves her hand and magical ice skates
(literally made of ice) form on Annas boots.
ANNA
What? Oh, Elsa, theyre beautiful, but you know I dont
ska-Elsa grabs Annas hands and pulls her along on the ice.
Anna slips and slides, but laughs in delight.
Sven goes slipping past. Kristoff runs after him.
KRISTOFF
Look out. Reindeer coming through!

FROZEN - J. Lee

112
Olaf skates and helps Elsa coach Anna.
OLAF
Thats it. Glide and pivot and glide and pivot.
We pull away slowly, into the sky. We arrive at a birdseye view to see that where the castle had crumbled has
been repaired with a ice.
All is right in Arendelle.
FINAL FADE OUT.
THE END
