Anna's run-in with Hans also involves them falling into Kristoff's ice-cart, rather than a rowboat. Anna's line "Who knew we had eight thousand salad plates" is changed to "And there's two nice ladies helping me get dressed," and the line it rhymes with, "Finally they're opening up the gates!" is changed to "Coronation day is just the best!" In addition, after the last key change, there is an additional verse sung by a chorus of townspeople. ![]() In the Broadway musical version of the song, a pair of lines in the first verse are changed due to staging limitations. This version goes up a half-step with each verse, starting in F major and ending in G major for the finale. The song is cutoff mid-note when Anna crashes into Hans's horse, and subsequently falls into a rowboat. Elsa orders the guards to open the gates, and Anna joyfully wanders down a causeway into the town against the flow of guests arriving. During her solo, Elsa practices her role in the coronation on a box and candlestick in her a room. During the third verse, Elsa sings a counterpoint melody (with some of the same lyrics that are later used as the first verse of " Let It Go"), in which she expresses her fear of accidentally revealing her ice powers and her anxiety about opening the gates. In the first version, the song shows Anna's happiness and naive optimism when preparing for Elsa's coronation. When the necessity of a reprise dawned upon Anderson-Lopez, she wrote it in only about 20 minutes, and then successfully pitched it on her own to the Disney production team, as Lopez was already with the team in Los Angeles trying to fix " Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" Synopsis Original "Life's Too Short" survives as a demo track on the Deluxe Edition of the movie soundtrack, and part of the melody was reused in Frozen Fever for the song "Making Today A Perfect Day". As the characters evolved throughout the writing process (specifically Elsa was turned from a villain to a tragic hero), the song was deemed too vindictive and was instead replaced with a reprise of this song, to create a motif. ![]() The Lopezes' daughter, Katie, came up with the replacement line that ended up in the film: "I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face."Īs for the reprise, there was originally a different confrontation lyric for the scene where Elsa strikes Anna with her powers entitled "Life's Too Short" (the premise being that life is too short to waste it with someone who doesn't understand them), which itself would have been reprised later when the sisters realize that life's too short to live life alone. The short feature also sees the voices of Elsa and Anna - Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell - reunite on a new song “Making Today a Perfect Day,” with the daunting task of trying to match global hit “Let It Go.The original version of the song contained a line about "I hope that I don't vomit in his face," which was deemed unacceptable by Disney as a reference to bodily fluids. The “Frozen” creative team began work on the featurette a year ago following the runaway success of the film, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen.” ![]() “In seven minutes you can bring a lot of joy. “The whole idea of the short was we want to have fun with these characters, we want to have humor for Elsa, something she didn’t get to have in the movie. “It’s a fun way to relive the characters because we love these characters as much as the fans do, it’s a way to almost say thank you,” producer Peter del Vecho told AFP. The short revolves around the problems that ensue when Elsa comes down with a heavy cold while a birthday party for her sister Anna is being prepared. The film was released alongside Disney’s live action feature film “Cinderella,” which opened in North American theaters on Friday. ![]() The most successful animated film in history, “Frozen” has already raked in a cool $1.3 billion in earnings since its release in 2013, picking up two Oscars and a clutch of other awards along the way.ĭisney this week confirmed that a sequel was in the works, delighting fans who flocked to the first film in droves and sending shares in the studio soaring.īefore then however comes the featurette “Frozen Fever,” offering fans the chance to reacquaint themselves with the film’s characters - albeit for only seven, brief minutes. LOS ANGELES: Fans of hit movie “Frozen” who can’t let it go can reunite with Elsa, Anna and Olaf this week in a short film being released around the world.
