They come across a beautiful forest, where they make a pit stop to poke around. The group is introduced to Gale — a mischievous gust of wind that I very much wish existed in the real world — who plays a few good-hearted jokes on Olaf. Our favourite snowman proceeds to make a few silly one-liners. Obviously, this is followed by a musical number where Olaf proceeds to dodge all kinds of danger. It's beyond pure and ends with Olaf saying, "I find clothes restricting," and DON'T WE ALL.
We learn that water has memory and I double-check that I'm in the right theatre.
An adorable little lizard shows up. He squeaks, climbs all over everyone, and has a bit of a sh*t-eating grin. I instantly become obsessed with him.
Finally, the crew comes face-to-face with the tribe from Northuldra, a group of magical people who are trapped in the forest. The Northuldrans are naturally suspicious of outsiders, because stranger danger. Mattias — voiced by none other than heartthrob Sterling K. Brown — shares he's not only a former Arendelle guard, but worked specifically for Elsa and Anna's grandfather. (More on that later).
As soon as I hear Mattias speak I instantly find his character attractive. Leave it to Sterling K. Brown to be hot even as a cartoon. He is one spicy dish.
