The plot of Frozen
Frozen is about two royal sisters, Elsa and Anna, in the kingdom of Arendelle. Elsa is born with magical powers that allow her to create ice and snow.
After accidentally injuring her younger sister Anna during childhood, Elsa isolates herself to control her powers. Their parents tragically die at sea, leaving the sisters to face their futures alone.
Years later, Elsa’s coronation opens the castle gates for the first time. During the celebration, Anna meets Prince Hans and hastily accepts his marriage proposal.
When Elsa objects, her emotions unleash her powers in front of the court. Fearing judgment, Elsa flees to the North Mountain, where she creates an ice palace and embraces her abilities. However, her magic plunges Arendelle into eternal winter.
Anna connects with Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and snowman Olaf to find Elsa. When Anna confronts Elsa, Elsa accidentally freezes Anna's heart. A desperate journey ensues to reverse the curse.
Anna’s selfless act of love saves herself and Elsa, proving that love is the key to controlling Elsa's powers. With winter ending, the sisters reconcile, and Elsa opens the castle gates permanently. The film concludes with Arendelle restored and relationships renewed.
