A 'Frozen' Question. No, Really.

I've now watched 'Frozen' eleventy billion times, and I still don't understand why Kristoff doesn't tell Anna that he saw her memory erased by Grand-Pabby when he was little? He even mentions as they're going to meet the trolls that he knows Grand-Pabby can help because 'he's seen him do it before.'

He has to know that Princess Anna was that same gurl he saw 'cured' all those years ago so what gives?! What plot point am I missing that would explain why he doesn't mention it to her?

I know, I know. This should not matter this much to me. Or at all. :p

It bothers me every time I watch the movie, and now that Miss Monkey has started requesting to watch it at least once a week, I have to know the answer or I will go mad.

And yes, I should just LET IT GO. Hardy har har har.













But srsly. Why?!?
 
Because he doesn't know that she was the same girl he saw when he was little?
Idk. hehe...
 
My son does that annoying thing where he brings up all these flaws for almost every Disney film because he is an aspiring animator and he follows all these geeky Twitter accounts and blogs where people talk about this stuff.

I'll have to ask him what some of the theories are.
 
I am so thankful my DD didn't take to this film (admittedly she was older but she still loves so many Disney and other animated films). I actually took her to the cinema to watch this. I was excited to see the sisters mirror my own in terms of colours (my eldest is blonde and youngest ginger) but the film itself. Ugh! Watching it once was enough. Sorry you have to endure it endlessly. Can you not 'busy yourself' at the point you know that scene is? I used to have to do other things in Lion King until after the scene Mufasa got killed :( That is the film my DS liked on loop.
 
I think he has to know it was her that he saw when he was little. At that point he knows she's the queen's sister and I think it makes sense he's put it all together at that point. The real answer could be as simple as he was going to tell her but they cut it out in editing at some point. But if we're really going to analyze it :) ...I'm going to guess it's like all of us when we are faced with telling someone the truth.... sometimes we aren't bold/brave enough to do it. The whole movie is brought about by a series of events where people are too afraid to tell each other the truth. My two cents :) We've seen it 11 million times too.
 
I assumed, because he was a child, the moment stuck in his memory, but not the details. Do you remember every random person you ever saw something traumatic happen to from your childhood? I don't. I remember incidents, but not what the people looked like who were involved.

Kristoff had no idea that Anna was that little girl, because he had no reason to link them. The audience knows things about the characters they don't know about each other which sometimes makes things "OMG, obvious!" to us, but not to them.
 
I will tell you, because our dear friend Jon works at the Burbank Disney studios and he came to visit us after they finished Frozen (he's a modeler... he creates the scenes in 3D). It wasn't easy making Frozen! They changed the story line of that movie SO much from what it originally was. Like, it was crazy how the story changed. It originally wasn't anything like it turned out to be and Kristoff was added to the film, so some things in the story (especially with Kristoff) DON'T line up perfectly.

Truthfully, it's not my favorite Disney movie. But we do listen to the soundtrack a lot.
 
I just figured he didn't realize it was her. The part I don't understand is Elsa's transformation. She spends years hiding and then all of a sudden sings one song and is over it?
 
From the storyline, I assumed that Kristoff had to know that Anna was that little gurl. The trolls acknowledge that her dad is the king when they come, and he knows that her sister is the new queen. You guys think he didn't put it together, though, huh?

I'm not even going to touch how terrible their parents were for locking them both up in the castle their entire lives... :p
 
Oh gosh.... my son watched this on loop every day during it's first year....he probably still would if his brothers wouldn't complain so much about it. I can't sit through a movie and watch every little detail (I am a picker) I always have to be multitasking so I've never paid close enough attention. Maybe I'll let him watch it juuuuuust one more time so I can come up with an answer of my own.... lol

He was a child when he saw it though right? I guess I don't find it all that crazy that you might not make the connection that this random incident you saw as a child is this same grown up woman you randomly met.
 
I liked the movie, don't like the enormous hype around it though. Disney has made some great movies since, but still Frozen is all that seems to matter. As a big Disney geek that annoys me :)
 
I actually really Frozen and the fact that Christoff doesn't mention what he saw as a kid never bothered me. I just assumed that he didn't realize it was Ana.

What really bothers me though is:
1. that even though the trolls told Elsa and her family that fear was her biggest enemy, her parents made her fear her powers.
2. how Elsa suddenly realizes that love is the answer and thaws everything within seconds after claiming that she didn't know how through the entire movie. That came way too sudden.
