Frozen is, without a doubt, one of the most popular Disney films of all time. Followed closely by Disney's remake of Beauty and The Beast, which is quite literally the best film of all time. Ever. We could watch it all day long.
However, despite all the positive messages about family, reindeers and friendships, Frozen could have ended very, very, very differently.
Eeeeek.
Disney producer Peter Del Vecho has revealed that Frozen's characters were changed numerous times before they were finalised and Elsa was meant to be 'pure evil' and wasn't even related to Anna in the first drafts. She also wasn't meant to be royalty.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Peter revealed that the ending could have been much more like the Hans Christian Andersen tale that the film was originally based on.
"Elsa was a self-proclaimed Snow Queen, but she was a villain and pure evil — much more like the Hans Christian Andersen tale. We started out with an evil female villain and an innocent female heroine and the ending involved a big epic battle with snow monsters that Elsa had created as her army.
"Making them related led us to the idea of her living in fear of her powers."
SNOW MONSTERS. EPIC.
"Now we had a character in Anna who was all about love and Elsa who was all about fear.
"That led to making Elsa a much more dimensional, sympathetic character, and instead of the traditional good vs. evil theme we had one that we felt was more relatable: Love vs. fear, and the premise of the movie became that love is stronger than fear."
He then went on to explain the reason why there was no 'Prince Charming' in the film, with director Chris Buck instead ditching the idea that a man will come in and save the day.
"Chris said, 'Does it always need to be true love's kiss that solves that problem? Does it always have to be the man who comes in and rescues the female? Could it be something different?' And that led to a different ending."
Guuuuurl power forever.
What do you make of all that then? Our minds are well and truly blown.
