The Past is Not What it Seems – The New Frozen 2 Trailer is here and we all need answers

June 11, 2019 by Jill 4 Comments

I don’t think I’m supposed to tell y’all this but my two sons LOVE Frozen. I’m not sure who is more excited to see the new Frozen 2 trailer (released this morning – 6/11), me or them.

Yes, I said that. 

There was a time – circa 2013 – that I thought I would lose my mind if I had to hear Let it Go one more time. But, the music is just part of what makes Frozen so magical for children and…ahem…me. Fun fact: Did you know Frozen is the highest grossing animated film of all time? 

We can talk about the new trailer all day – seriously, we can  – but just in case you haven’t seen it, let’s all get on the same page, shall we?

If you’re looking for the newest Frozen 2 poster, scroll to the end. After you read all this stuff first, of course. 

The teaser trailer showed Elsa’s multiple attempts at dashing across the water, using her magic powers to turn the ocean into ice so she could go…well, go somewhere. We’re not sure where, which is the point right now. Disney is teasing us in a good way because we all want to know what’s to come. 

In Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Frozen 2, Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven journey far beyond the gates of Arendelle in search of answers. Featuring the voices of Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad, “Frozen 2” opens in U.S. theaters November 22. ©2019 Disney. All Rights Reserved.

This new trailer shows a little bit more of the story line, begging with what happens after Elsa makes it over the cascade of ice. We have confirmation that Frozen 2 definitely takes place outside Arendelle, which was pretty obvious from the teaser trailer but now we know our friends are headed north to combat some type of evil force.

In Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Frozen 2, Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) and Olaf (voice of Josh Gad) venture far from Arendelle in a dangerous but remarkable journey to help Elsa find answers about the past. From the Academy Award®-winning team—directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, producer Peter Del Vecho and songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Frozen 2” opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 22, 2019. ©2019 Disney. All Rights Reserved.

Two quotes have me on the edge of my seat:

“We always feared that Anna’s powers were too much for this world. Now we must hope they are enough.” and;

“The past is not what it seems.”

That could mean all kinds of things. According to my kids, who have become experts at Disney theories, Easter eggs and how our beloved characters from various movies are connected since the last time I posted about Frozen 2 (thank you YouTube) think that Elsa and Anna’s parents aren’t really dead. Interesting theory, isn’t it? I haven’t gone down the rabbit hole of analyses of possible plots but I think the fun here is in what we don’t know. 

Obviously, Elsa is battling an ominous force that makes Prince Hans look like a teddy bear, but we don’t know what it really means. The entire movie looks darker and deeper and our girls are much more powerful and less princessy. I’m totally OK with that. Obviously, it means a lot for girls to have these kind of kick A movie characters to emulate but I love that my boys are getting this dose of “girls can.” 

Because girls can. In Arendelle and everywhere.

And, although Arendelle is supposed to be somewhere near Norway – at least that’s what I’ve always assumed – Elsa and company are allegedly headed North but to what looks like a warmer climate? And is it just me or does it look like they’re approaching Stonehenge at 1:28? I have so many questions!

This I know: Disney will blow us all away, as usual. 

You can purchase movie tickets on line through Fandango prior to the release date…I just think that’s so cool and it makes the wait for the movies you REALLY want to see a little more bearable. Although Frozen 2 tickets are not on sale yet, you can sign up for fan alerts through Fandango. You can also subscribe to my blog and I’ll let you know when something new comes out because I like to stay on top of these things. 

Obviously, this will be THE movie to see this Thanksgiving weekend.

    I cannot wait. Frozen is one of our favorites (and we only have adults in this house – well my grandson is almost 2 but he has never seen any Disney movies yet – toddler attention span and all that). I’m excited to see where they take this. I love how strong Elsa and Anna are!

    We’re big Frozen fans and can’t wait to see this. That quote, “…Now we must hope they are enough” gave me goosebumps!

    You have to remember that Norway is a very elongated country. While Arendelle is located in what looks like the south-eastern part of Norway, they go to a place that looks exactly like some of the northern parts of Norway in the second movie. This is also where the samipeople live, which Kristoff and also the new characters introdused in the first teasertrailer is inspired by. Its also very common with standing stones in Norway. The stones you see in the trailer dont look like they are forming an circle like an henge.

All About Jill

I'm a digital content creator and essayist who copes with parenting and most other situations with humor and snark. Just so you know, if this weren't the internet, I'd be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like "How are you today" with gems like "I like pockets."

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

Here’s something you’ve probably never seen be Here’s something you’ve probably never seen before: my bottom teeth.
.
I always hide my crooked bottom teeth in pictures and I’m super self-conscious when I talk. So I did something about it.
.
I wore braces as a kid and my top teeth are straight but my bottom teeth are shifting and one tooth is traveling into the back of my mouth and I have some crowding. My orthodontist said it’s very unusual to put braces on just half your mouth but my bite is still aligned so they didn’t have to put them on my top teeth - my wallet is thankful.
.
Questions I’ve already been asked:
.
1️⃣ At your age? Yes, at my age. I still care about my smile. 
.
3️⃣ How long do you have to wear them?
.
6-9 months.
.
3️⃣ Do they hurt? 
.
My teeth are sore and my mouth is tender but not to the Tylenol level so I guess the answer is “Not too much.”
.
Other questions? Advice?

Little things can really be big - do you agree? M Little things can really be big - do you agree?

My husband gets up with our kids twice a week and does their breakfast and morning routine and takes them to school so I can sleep in. I don't laze away the morning in bed - it usually amounts to about an extra hour of sleep for me and a little more peace and quiet as I start my day. 

This probably seems like a little thing but this is huge for me. The mental benefits of not having to set my alarm on a schoolday is truly my love language. I would rather have sleep than flowers or presents. 

On those morning where my husband takes my kids to school, I will inevitably find the kitchen not "just so." There will be spills on the table or something that didn't get put away. I resist the urge to be sarcastic or to ask "Um, is there a reason we have four boxes of cereal just sitting on the counter?" or point out that it would take less than 30 seconds to wipe a tabletop or put a box back on the shelf. I resist saying stuff like "I guess if I want it done a certain way, I have to do it myself." I don't even say that to myself. 

My husband isn't "doing me a favor" by taking care of our kids. When I talked about being stressed and tired during an argument last year, he offered to take some things off my plate and giving me two mornings where I don't have to set an alarm was one of his ideas. It's part of the give and take of marriage and even though it makes me clench a little when I see spilled milk or stuff that hasn't put away, I appreciate having a partner who shares the load with me. 

My marriage definitely is not perfect and I'm in no position to give relationship advice. But for us, this one little thing is a really big deal. 

And, as I've recently discovered, a cereal box can sit on the counter for several days and the world doesn't explode. Who knew.

Anyone else having massive “This time last year” moments?
.
2020 started out so fine. We extended our kids’ winter break to take them on a Disney Cruise- no better reason than that, amiright- and I was excited about all the Disney Cruise blog posts I was going to write. Disney Cruises are (errr...were?) one of the most searched terms on my website and how a lot of people found me.
.
Early 2020 was such a time of hope and light that pretty much everyone took for granted.
.
While it’s become glaringly obvious the change in the calendar isn’t a magic potion, I still have hope for this year and still believe there magic yet to happen.
.
You know...the good stuff.

We got our first Raddish Kids box right before the We got our first Raddish Kids box right before the holidays and finally dug into it this weekend. Our box had a cold-weather theme which was perfect for this cold weather we're having (flurries in San Antonio can you believe it?!)

Each box contains three recipe cards, a culinary tool, an iron-on patch and Table Talk conversation starter cards. A shopping list is included and also emailed to you in advance in case you want to be ready to cook as soon as your box arrives. You buy all the groceries yourself. 

We made homemade chicken and dumplings this weekend and they turned out amazing. If you need modifications (i.e. gluten or dairy free) you can hop on to the @raddishkids website and go to the "Bonus Bites" section. You'll find modifications, food videos, extra recipes, parent info and more fun stuff. 

The price ranges from $20-$24 per box depending on what type of subscription you choose. Boxes are designed for kids 4-14+ with varying degrees of supervision needed depending on your child's skills and age. Kyle and i have done two meals from this box - we still have cookies left to make - and worked together about 50-50. It was a lot of fun.

I think today would be better if I could hang out I think today would be better if I could hang out with donkeys all day. 

There's a reason animals are used in therapy - they are both comforting and fun. This picture was from our October outing to Wassermann's Wranch outside of Alpine (in West Texas.) I love my beautiful state and the landscape of West Texas fascinates me because it's so different than what I see every day here near San Antonio.

Wassermann's Wranch is located just a few miles outside the city. It's a private hobby farm that sees visitors by reservation. It's absolutely worth planning your day around and you can check out more in my blog post linked in my bio.

I didn't realize I liked donkeys until I got to know these guys. The owner, Heidi, told me "I think you might be a donkey chick."

I think I'm OK with that.
