Polar Nights chapters 1 & 2 highlights (spoilers)

I’ve managed to come across the first two chapters of Polar Nights that were apparently posted as temporary previews on Google Books (thanks @antoineharrakblog​ for sharing them  - they were a nice distraction from the terrible IRL news I got today). I wanted to share my thoughts on them and make note of everything that stood out to me. I won’t be posting entire pages but I will share a few excerpts that I especially liked. I wouldn’t say these are major spoilers but they’re definitely spoilers. So be warned…

**SPOILERS INCOMING!**

This first excerpt pretty much establishes that Anna and Elsa see each other often. I also like the mention that Elsa keeps her bedroom in Arendelle (which is in my fanfic as well!)

Based on the following excerpt, I get the impression that the Northuldra got kind of shafted in this story and that their only appearances will be in discussions by other characters rather than in person. I could be wrong though and maybe they’ll return from their journey later in the story. But it’s nice that they’re at least acknowledged, which hasn’t been the case for any of the post-Frozen 2 comics and storybooks so far.

There were some adorable Frohana moments already in just the first two chapters! I especially loved this little exchange.

And the last excerpt I want to mention gives us a short glimpse into what Elsa’s been doing in the forest. Unfortunately the conversation gets cut off but I’m hoping we’ll learn more later in the story (also nice that so far it doesn’t contradict anything in my headcanons, lol).

And here’s a few other things I thought were worth mentioning…

-For some reason I thought the story was going to be in first-person like Dangerous Secrets, but instead it’s in third-person limited (which I think I like better for this particular story)

-The story confirms that Elsa’s birthday is the winter solstice

-Bruni is referred to as “it” instead of being given a gender, which I’m not a fan of. Not sure if this was a Disney higher-ups decision (I could have sworn one of the animators confirmed his gender) but it de-humanizes him in my opinion

-The kingdoms of Vesterland and Chatho are mentioned, as well as Anna’s friendship with Princess Mari

-Mattias has been helping Anna with her duties

-A group of pirates led by a female captain have been hanging around Arendelle’s waters - not sure what role they will play

-Runeard was involved in the story about the draugr

-Chapter 2 ends with Elsa trying to show Anna a memory of their parents using her ice magic, but she’s unable to (most likely from the draugr’s influence). This gives the impression that Elsa has learned to use her magic to show memories anywhere, even if the memory didn’t take place in that exact location

—

Overall, I enjoyed what I’ve read so far. Mari and Jen did a great job with the Frohana moments in these chapters and I can’t wait to see how it goes when the story gets “darker”!

Original (lullaby) ending of All Is Found

Video (taken by the Lopezes during an orchestral recording session, with mobile phone) was discovered by @antoineharrakblog

Thanks @scrfilms for centering, stabilizing and cropping the vid! I need to learn how to do that.

I spliced in the music and vocals from the outtake track (track 12 of Deluxe edition) and tried to brighten and improve the color.

The animation differs from the original from "dive down deep into her sound" onwards. Iduna looks out at the aurora, while Elsa looks troubled and lifts her head to looks at her mother. This is followed by a long scene between mother and daughter while sitting on the bed, where Iduna gently caresses Elsa's face (my heart!) and then holds her hands, caressing them, and finally ends with Iduna kissing Elsa's hands (not captured in this video but seen in other media which I will post)

Show Yourself - Dress transformation progression

Source video from @antoineharrakblog​ ‘s youtube video here.

Took some effort to get the 4 videos perfectly synced up with sound, but it worked!!

If you watch the source video, it says that a trainee animator contributed to the animation of Elsa’s new cape (or wings as I like to call them) as it was revealed. Kudos!

If you’d like to have a gif of the video, here it is

Dangerous Secrets Teaser Tuesday #5: Full Cover and Interior Design

This week we’re giving you a sneak peek of the full Dangerous Secrets cover wrap and also a peek into the design inside the actual book! 

Fun fact - there were several different cover concepts pitched before they settled on this one. I got to see a couple of them, but probably not all. (We writers don’t really get a say in the cover creation process!) As many of you probably know, an earlier version of this cover was leaked before it was final which was very similar, but had the adult versions of Iduna and Agnarr instead of the teen ones. The final younger versions of them were illustrated by Grace Lee, who also did the Forest of Shadows cover.

Elsa's Hair Journey in FROZEN!

From Frozen to Frozen 2, Elsa went on a journey of self-discovery and liberation. Through these adventures, she transformed from the Queen of Arendelle to the Snow Queen. The artists and developers in Walt Disney Animation Studios collaborated on this very unique aspect of her character, telling a visual story through her hair to emphasize her unique personal journey.

Visual Development of Elsa from Frozen to Frozen 2.

Visual Development

When we meet Elsa as a little girl in Frozen, her hair is in a braid. As she gets older and more closed-off from the world, though, her hairstyle changes to become a tighter, more restrictive bun. This stays with her through her coronation until “Let it Go” allows her to return to form with a new, more personalized braid.

In Frozen 2, Elsa spends most of her journey traveling with her “Let it Go” braid, but as she gets closer to Ahtohallan and her physical and emotional challenges become more steep, she first lets her hair down into a ponytail, then ultimately undoes it altogether for “Show Yourself,” emphasizing her ultimate transformation into the Snow Queen.

This allowed the artists to maintain the shape language through the base physical parameters alone – previously this was achieved by making the hair stiff and/or adding additional constraints to hold the groom.

Putting It All Together

Many departments across the Disney's studio collaborated to achieve the final performance of Elsa’s hair journey.

Enjoy!💖💖❄️❄️
