History Headscratchers / FrozenFever

*** It doesn't matter how, we just can assume she did. The movie cuts from Anna grabbing the medicine from Oaken to a scene with Kristoff ("Dry banana hippy hat"), and by the time it cuts back to Elsa & Anna they are by the tower but we haven't seen how they got there from Oaken. So there was plenty of time/opportunity for Anna (during that time we weren't shown) to administer Elsa the medicine, whatever way she did it (probably covert). It's probable that Elsa ingested the medicine, because from that point on she isn't just sick but seemingly high (a common cough suppressant, even today, is Codeine, which is medically and chemically similar to heroin).

** She's so desperate to make up for years of missed birthdays to Anna that she nearly falls to her death. And then is *still* convinced she ruined Anna's birthday until told otherwise.

*** It seems like he would have warranted a much more drastic punishment, like exile.

** Maybe that was only part of his punishment?

* Why was Hans' punishment to clean up manuare? He tried to assassinate a foreign monarch and usurp rule of a country. Shouldn't he have had a more severe punishment due to taking actions that could incite a war?

* Isn't it a bit overdramatized to list Elsa as TheWoobie? I can understand in the original film, but the YMMV page seems to qualify her as one just because she gets sick. Since when did having an illness make you a Woobie?

* A bit meta, I suppose, but why does ''Frozen Fever'' have its own Headscratchers page? It's not like there's such an abundance of information that it would necessitate having its own page - there's only a few questions here. Why not just add them to the page for the film?

*** How? I know she was the one who took it from Oaken but how would she convince Elsa to actually drink it?

** Anna did it

* It's suggested Oaken's medicine was partially to blame for Elsa's delirium near the end. Yes, it probably did contain opium or some other narcotic given the time period, but why would Elsa take it to begin with when she was still in denial of her illness?

* {{ClockDiscrepancy}} During the scene where Else almost falls off the clock tower, the time on the clock face (~4:50pm) is wrong for Arendelle's latitude on June 22 (Anna's birthday is the summer solstice). The sun is setting, which wouldn't happen to after 10pm that far north. If the minute hand and hour hands were reversed, it would be more appropriate.

** Either she does (maybe it's just ''really'' comfortable), or she made multiple copies. Or she was planning to do physical work (normal dresses are not great for that) and then magically transform her dress (which would destroy the original, but presumably wouldn't destroy an existing magic ice dress).

* Does Elsa just wear that blue ice dress all the time now? I understand that it might be something of an iconic outfit for her, but wouldn't she ever consider seeing what other clothing designs she could create once she'd returned to Arendelle? The decision to keep her in it, from my perspective, really seems more like some sort of marketing gimmick than it does an actual representation of character... (And I know it's one thing to wear it during Anna's birthday festivities, but then she's also shown wearing it while ''preparing'' said festivities, even though I feel that even ''royals'' would have less fanciful attire that they would wear during such a time.)

** There is also the fact that Frozen takes place when people though colds were actually by the cold, which doesn't bother Elsa, instead of by germs. You also should remember that for most of her life Elsa avoid contacts with others as much as possible thus not getting in contact with germs and not getting sick, though with a weakened immune system as a result.

** Basically, a piece of fanon formed that Elsa having elemental powers meant she's some sort of PhysicalGod and therefore immortal. Immunity to cold meaning immunity to illness as well. There are fanfics where she outlives Anna and ends up becoming centuries old and WalkingTheEarth. Highly unlikely in retrospect, but with limited info about her powers in the film, people will fill in the big blanks their own way.

* Why are people so perplexed over Elsa getting sick in this short? She's a normal girl with ice powers, not a goddess who's immune to illness.

** I'm not so sure that fevers work that way, but even on the off chance that they do, Elsa spends a majority of the short denying that she has a cold so they can proceed with Anna's party plans undeterred. She may not have the ability or the knowledge of how to cool herself down enough to ease her symptoms, if it is possible.

* Wouldn't Elsa be able to cure her fever with her powers (IE, cooling herself down) pretty easily? I mean, it wouldn't cure all the symptoms, but I'm a little surprised they never thought of that.

** [[AWizardDidIt Elsa's cold screwed up the weather. And the atmosphere. And the rotation of the earth.]]
