Elsa feels all types of emotions while learning about her family's history. She sings about it and decides she needs to go back, but it's not that easy. She has to take off her shoes and cloak and attempt to leave the island she's on by skipping on the water. After failing twice, she persists, and gets help from an unsuspecting friend — aka a ghost horse that comes out of nowhere. Sure we saw him earlier in the movie, but I was not expecting him to show up in the ocean and help her battle the waves. My question is: did she leave all her stuff there? She needs shoes!
Obviously both Anna and Olaf are really upset. They just got pushed into a boat and end up shooting down a waterfall. Bet Elsa wasn't counting on that. They end up in a cave and both seem utterly hopeless. (For the record, I would be, too).
We cut to Elsa trying to rough it on her own. Obviously, leaving her sister behind was the world's worst idea. She ends up frozen — and utterly alone — which causes poor innocent Olaf to start melting. Not the play, Elsa.
Olaf is flurrying and awww it's so cute. Then I realise he's basically dying and OMG OLAF IS FLURRYING MAKE IT STOP.
Anna has to leave Olaf behind — there's a lot of ditching in this movie, they should really invest in a few iPhones! — and heads back to Northuldra. As soon as she gets there the pesky giants are up to no good. She's running away from them and clearly hanging onto her life by a thread. After falling, Kristoff comes to the rescue, and we have the classic damsel in distress scenario.
Anna realises that in order to break the curse between the two villages, she needs to destroy the dam that divides them with the understanding that Arendelle will be washed away. Who better to get the job done than the earth giants? She gets their attention and stands on the dam as the launch giant boulders onto it. Gutsy move. After a few tense moments, she's back with Kristoff on land safe and sound. Phew!
