Required Secondary Powers / Animated Films

• Elsa from Frozen explains in her song "Let It Go" why she can walk around a snowed-over mountaintop and her self-created ice palace in a dress made of frost: "The cold never bothered me anyway." Something is clearly up with her body temperature; while other characters' breathing is visible in the cold, hers is not. She can also walk on snow without sinking and walk on ice without slipping — though when she's repressing her powers (such as at the beginning of "Let It Go") she trudges through the snow like anyone else, only to start walking on top of it after she starts using her magic.
• The Incredibles:
  • An aversion of one of the problems with force fields. At the final battle, the Omnidroid is attempting to crush Violet and Dash, who are inside one of Violet's spherical force fields. When it lifts right after Violet is knocked temporarily unconscious, we can see that an indentation in the street has been made in the shape of the force field, suggesting that the force field was acting as an indestructible sphere, transferring the force of the Omnidroid to the street below. In addition, Violet's force fields are typically as invisible as she is, but they flash and ripple according to the amount of energy they're dissipating, implying some manner of energy conversion — from a soft purple hue due to air friction or rolling along the ground, to bright white flashes when hit by bullets or massive impacts.
  • Mr. Incredible's Super-Strength + Nigh-Invulnerability combo is deconstructed. He can't magically anchor himself and when he uses his strength on normal objects, they're visibly warped (grabbing his car to stop from falling, he bends the roof badly enough the door won't close). Rule of Funny, however, when he lifts his car without damaging it further. When he stops a train, he does so by bracing himself and relying on friction; also, he visibly winces just before impact. Finally, when fighting the Omnidroid, it smacks him all over the place because he can't just plant himself at will. Really, the movie is a Deconstruction + Reconstruction of the superhero genre.
  • Frozone can't just make ice because there needs to be at least some water around. On the other hand, he can make a lot more ice than the air should be able to hold as water vapor. He is also able to use his own body water as a reservoir (to within safe limits; he can't while dehydrated).
  • It's only mentioned, but Edna states that Dash's suit can withstand high friction without heating up or being worn down. This implies that while Dash's skin is resistant to friction, his normal street clothes could get torn or burned if he ran too fast with them on.
• In Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, Ultraman either doesn't have these or is able to turn them off. While everyone else is able to fly with no problem, his flight causes a sonic boom and shatters glass as he passes.
• Kai, the Big Bad of Kung Fu Panda 3 has the power to create jade warriors from the stolen chi of kung fu masters. He also has the power to control their actions and see through their eyes. For most of the movie he uses only a small number of them against a roughly equal number of opponents. However, in the final battle he uses his entire army against a village full of people, and is unable to handle the sensory overload or mental effort required to carry out over a dozen simultaneous fights.
• In Superman vs. the Elite, The Hat is protected by an invisible magical forcefield that not even Superman can break, so he thinks he's invincible. The forcefield lets air through so he can breathe. When Superman creates a massive whirlwind, The Hat ignores it because the wind isn't hurting him... until it sucks away all the oxygen and he passes out.
• In Tangled, Rapunzel's magic hair must also be magically immune to split ends and other problems that would plague normal hair that hasn't been cut for 18 years. Of course, her hair can heal wounds and keep people young, so keeping itself healthy, untangled, and split end free is not exactly a huge stretch from there. She also doesn't have a problem with the extra weight that comes with it, aside from visiting the town, where she has to carry it around to keep people from stepping on it.
• In Turning Red, Mei's vision isn't impaired in her red panda form even if her glasses disappear.
