Do you prefer Anna more with Hans or Kristoff
No idea. The romance with Hans is off to a good start and overall the one with Kristoff is also well done. The problem is that Hans is poorly written in terms of coherence with enormous wasted potential.

All Is Found: The next right things
Spoilers
A spring day of the young queen Anna. She tries to please everyone and be in time for everything, tries to imitate Elsa's style but it doesn't work because Anna is Anna. I liked Anna/Kristoff&Olaf&Sven chaotic good dynamic in this story, they are so funny as a team running through a daily fuss: Anna's social awkwardness, Kristoff's nonchalance and being-raised-in-the-woods past, Olaf's deeply serious remarks and Sven's "I can't help with these two." Elsa was a supportive figure that appeared at the last moment to lift Anna's spirits.
Some quotes:
Tumblr media
This story is a Southern Isles and Hans story, they are well-mentioned here. Anna has an important visit from the Isles, probably that free trade union that was mentioned in "Anna and the King" and "Cold Secrets Deep Down" of All Is Found. Anna kind of still not let her shameful(as she thinks) failure with Hans go.
“Ooh, is this the dress you’re wearing to your meeting with one of the princes from the Southern Isles? I like it. I like it. It says, ‘I’ve forgotten all about your lying youngest brother who pretended to love me and then tried to kill me.’”
“Wait, what?” Anna groaned and yanked on the hairbrush she was using to tame and braid her hair.
There were few things she liked less than being reminded of the very brief period when she’d thought she should marry the evil Prince Hans of the Southern Isles. To be fair, Hans had been the first guy her own age she’d talked to in thirteen years, so maybe it made sense that he’d spun her head a bit.
She was pretty sure that his twelve older brothers were not evil, but some of them delighted in reminding her of her almost-fatal infatuation.
Not evil? Since this book has inherited the Frozen Heart names, validating its existence, does it also inherit their background as it probably should? I see that All Is Found tries to paint Hans as the black sheep of the overall good family.
When Anna rushed into the library, she found Prince Lars of the Southern Isles and his wife, Princess Helga, seated at a long table between two giant stacks of books. Her shoes skidded on the polished wooden floor as she came to a stop above the inlaid design.
Queens were probably not supposed to skid. Or be late. Or get in dubious engagements with men they’d just met. Stupid Hans! He wasn’t even here and he was still making things awkward.
Prince Lars was a tall, round man with a warm smile and large spectacles. Helga was shorter and rounder, with bigger glasses and a bigger smile.
She liked Lars—of the thirteen Southern Isles princes, he might have been her favorite—but he and his wife were the most likely to bore her to sleep with historical facts.
Means that Anna had met the others as well?
Lars and his wife about Elsa and Arendelle:
“Will she be joining us?” asked Helga. “I’ve heard so much about her wonderful powers.”
“My country so enjoyed working with your sister, if only from afar,” added Lars.
“We appreciate the invitation to your home and hope we enjoy working with you just as much.”
Hans's Father the King of the Southern Isles once had given Queen Iduna amber earrings: "They were a symbol of the strong bond between our kingdoms.” Now Anna wears them at the meeting.
“[]Just expressing our gratitude for your hospitality and your willingness to make sure that, er, bit of unpleasantness with Hans doesn’t impact the long friendship between Arendelle and the Southern Isles.” (Lars)
“Unpleasantness? Oh, you mean that time your youngest brother tried to kill me and my sister?” Anna had tried to make it sound like a joke, but the prince and princess winced.
“That would be it,” he said.
Anna probably wasn’t supposed to mention that. Hadn’t she hoped that they wouldn’t mention it? There was a long, uncomfortable silence.
Tumblr media
Anna's Queenship
As she dashed through the castle’s corridors, Anna’s braid began to unravel. She tucked it under her crown and hoped it would stay put. Maybe she’d start a new hair trend. Disheveled chic? That could be a thing.
The best part of being queen was the opportunities it gave her to make people’s lives better
She loved meeting Arendellians
Anna wasn’t a little girl anymore. She was the queen of Arendelle. She had been for a few months now, since her sister, Elsa, moved to the Enchanted Forest to bring balance to the Spirits of Nature. Sometimes that idea still baffled her
As she quickly changed into her gown, she wondered, not for the first time, how Elsa had done it all. She knew her sister was amazing—literally magical—but still. Sometimes Anna felt like she needed two of herself so she could be in more places at once
But different scenes for different queens! She and Elsa had their own ways of doing things
Anna knew she still didn’t look like some storybook’s picture of a perfect, regal queen. Her hair was wet; there was dirt beneath her nails; there were pins in her dress, and probably some sugary children’s handprints on it, too—but each of these was a sign of her connection to Arendelle.
She didn’t have to be a queen like anyone else. She only had to be true to herself… and maybe double-check her schedule… and let those who loved her help.
She beamed at her favorite people. “I don’t know what I’d do without you all.”
Elsa helped Anna fasten the earring, then linked her arm through her sister’s. “Well, good thing you’ll never have to find out.”
(Sounds like a premise for F3: Anna all alone)
“I want to be a good queen, but everyone needs something. How do I do the next right thing when they’re all right things and they’re happening at the same time? How did you make being queen look so easy?”
Elsa laughed. “Easy? Being queen is a huge job; it was never easy. If I made it look easy, it’s only because I had you and Olaf and Kristoff and Sven here to help me.”
“You're a great queen. We all think that you're a great queen.” (Elsa)
“You have such a big heart; you want to help everyone—but people want to help you, too. Let us. It’s what sisters do.”(Elsa) (Is it you, Elsa, who says this?)
Tumblr media
Little Anna's loneliness:
She crushed the invitation to her chest, remembering all her own birthdays after the castle gates had been shut when she was five. On every birthday candle, she’d wished for friends.
She tried to remember what she’d wanted when she was ten. Mostly it had just been Elsa’s company.
It wasn’t right for a child in Arendelle to have to celebrate her birthday alone. Not if Anna could do something about it

Why Hans is not simply a "Villain", and why his absence in Frozen 2 is justified:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Frozen is not a franchise about Villains going around, creating a "Good Vs Evil" situation, as it's not a franchise where the Love Interest is the main sentimental force: it's about two Sisters growing and maturing in response to terrible trauma and years of isolation.
Hans moves perfectly and is so impactful when he reveals himself in F1 because he's the "first important person" Anna meets outside the castle, but it's also the person whose behavior and actions are in "contrast" with Elsa's troubled and dangerous one during the whole story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If we wanted to simplify Anna's journey in a schematic way, we could put it down like this: Elsa is her Point A, Hans is her Point B and Kristoff is her Point C.
Kristoff is put in the middle of a situation where Anna moves from Elsa to Hans, and from Hans to Elsa.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her unusual need for romance is driven from the lack of a relationship with her sister, but it's also mediated by the fact that she was "raised in a castle", used to a certain view of who the "perfect man" his and this creates her own "narrative constrast" with Kristoff, something that's only hers, impacting thing even more when she realizes "too late" that Kristoff loves her:
Tumblr media
Then, why leaving Hans out of Frozen 2 works? Because of two important reasons:
Frozen 2 is focused on Elsa's POV, a search for answers about her powers and her true destiny, diving in their parents and family history, and that creates the subvertion about romance and villainy in this context;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The events of Frozen are the base for the characters insecurities, even if they all think everything seems perfectly fine because of Anna's belief in "Happy Endings";
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hans would've capitalized far too easily the situation. I would remind how Frozen 2, focusing on Elsa and her powers's origin, showing her taming the Spirits, forced the directors to limit the Kristanna content and relegate Kristoff to a secondary role, while, in one of the previous versions, his arc saw him already engaged to Anna from the start (Get This Right), but also hiding his unsatisfaction regarding his life in Arendelle (all things we saw Anna enjoyed and craved in F1), causing a temporaly break up when he was forced by the Nokk to reveal his own truth, with Anna clearly reliving Hans lies and cruelties;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In regards to this last point, there is another a important detail: if we recall HOW things happened in the fist movie, the only caracter that actually saw and lived Hans full cruelty and selfishness was Anna herself, while Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff & Sven only based their experiences on what she told them of him, or purely believing his lies and then facing the consequences of his actions:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's probably both the most unresolved aspect from the first movie, but also the reason why Hans could've been such an heavy burden for the narrative, without having the other main characters "prepared" like they are now with this new status quo: how giving him space and getting to know who he truely is, without becoming easily overwhelming for the characters is they were in the same context we saw them at the end of the 1st Frozen?

A rewrite of the Frozen or Hans is more an anti-hero than a villain, with real feelings for Anna ? What it should have been, instead of this stupid villain twist that makes no sense ? Sorry, but how am I supposed to take this twist seriously with this scene ?!
Tumblr media
Nobody sees it ! Nobody except the spectator ?! So what was it for ? Just... tricked us ? But this scene didn't need to be there ! The characters in the film are not aware of the spectators, it's stupid !
That's why I always want to laugh when someone tells me that Frozen is extraordinary or a masterpiece... We're not talking about a very small element of the movie there, but about what is supposed to be the main villain !
How did this get into the writing room ?!

"All my life has been a series of doors in my face".
"Love is an open door" says Anna but then closes the door. Knowing Frozen and its love for symbolism it must mean something. Probably that her love with Hans wasn't indeed an open door.
But when Anna meets Kristoff for the first time he opens the door of the shop and then she opens the door of Oaken's barn. Not to mention that the door of Elsa's palace opened without her push.

FROZEN 2: The word "Crazy" returns in three specific scenes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And they are all connected to scenes where things are actually changing for the other characters in different ways, and Anna is there with them.
And, of course, that specific word is an important recall to Anna's romantic dream ("And I know it's totally CRAZY, to dream I find romance") in the first Frozen, but most importantly:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So ... yeah people, I wouldn't behave as if Hans wasn't still important just because he is constantly mocked and he is not physically present in Frozen 2. Surely, he's not a true threat anymore ... but that doesn't change that he had a deep and different impact on Anna and the others.
I've got the feeling we all kind of followed Anna prespective for a little too much time between F1 & F2, without considering that, as these two movies showed, the past still hurts and pursues us unless we can get to find some true form of closure ...
