* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** Gerda goes through a journey worthy of The Hero's Journey, all to find and return with her Playmate, Kai. This is all in spite of him having been mean to her due to the Mirror Shard's influence.
** Gerda saving Kai from being permanently frozen. When Kai finally recognizes Gerda after being free of the Mirror Shards, he immediately goes back to being her friend, and Gerda holds no ill will against him.
*** Also doubles as a literal example.

* CommonKnowledge: "The Snow Queen" is frequently (at least in the English-speaking world) referred to as Andersen's longest story, but "The Marsh King's Daughter," "A Story from the Dunes" and especially "The Ice Maiden" are all longer.

* DesignatedVillain: The Snow Queen herself in the original story, as Kai ''chooses'' to go with her to her kingdom rather than being kidnapped, and his problem is caused by the mirror shard put within him before he even met the Snow Queen, rather than being under the Queen's control.

Kai doesn't choose to go with the Snow Queen as far as her kingdom; he only intends to tie his sled to hers for a little while (not knowing who she is at the time), but is unable to get loose when he wants to. It's also ambiguous whether she intended to bring him along and whether she intends to let him leave.

** Is the Robber-Girl a budding PsychoLesbian with an unhealthy interest in Gerda? Or is she a lonely -- if maladjusted -- child seeking companionship with someone who isn't a criminal? Is she some combination of the two, a young girl with a crush but lacking the knowledge of how to express such feelings without resorting to threats and/or imprisonment.

*** In Shelley Duvall's ''Faerie Tale Theatre'' the Snow Queen is protecting Kai and providing him with the opportunity to save himself. In that version, the troll's laboratory is on a raft floating around in outer space, and at the end the Snow Queen is shown to blow her wintry breath and send him sailing off far away.
