YMMV / Frozen Fever

Go To

  • Adorkable: Elsa is usually reserved, so it is pretty endearing to see her get so excited about Anna's birthday celebration that she squeals with excitement at several points.
  • Anvilicious: Frozen Fever has aesops that can come off as this. In the short, while Elsa insists that The Show Must Go On even though she's ill, Anna is evidently enjoying herself less and less as Elsa's condition worsens (She sang about Elsa's need to stop and rest several times during "Making Today A Perfect Day"). Also, the anvil doesn't get bigger than having Elsa nearly fall off a clock tower as she was delirious from her fever (or Oaken's cough medicine).
  • Broken Base: Kristoff singing "I love you, baby!" Elvis-style is adorable to many, though there are also those who just find it awkward for his character.
  • Catharsis Factor: After everything he did in the first film, seeing Hans getting sent into a pile of horse manure by Elsa's last snowball is incredibly satisfying.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The Baymax snowgie now that Big Hero 6: The Series has Mini-Max, a miniature Baymax who's around the same size as the snowgies.
  • I Knew It!: Frozen Fever confirms that the Southern Isles is the equivalent of Denmark, and is consistent with the fanon that Hans is being punished by working as a stablehand.
  • Incest Yay Shipping: Elsa recruiting the entire town to throw an elaborate party for Anna has all the hallmarks of a Grand Romantic Gesture. The multi-tiered cake with two figurines and no candles on top looks much more like a wedding cake than a birthday cake. And then Elsa tells Anna she wants to "be your birthday date" and uses a Red String of Fate to lead Anna to her presents. Furthermore, upon a closer inspection of the family portrait, you can see Anna actually holding hands with Elsa and not her boyfriend Kristoff despite being next to her on the opposite side.
  • Jerkass Woobie: While his appearance is brief and humorous, Hans has a somewhat pitiable fate since Frozen. Noticeably, he's still wearing his princely attire. However, it's dirty in many spots, worn out and losing its once elegant appearance. His hair is also rather messy. Many have noted that from the brief look at the Southern Isles, it is a bleak and unfriendly environment with the stables alone looking dark and uninviting, part of the gate looks broken, and the horses laughing at his misery when Elsa's snowball pelts him into the wagon full of Road Apples.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Some people left the theater when the short was done, not bothering to stay for Cinderella (2015).
  • Nightmare Fuel: While his cameo might seem funny when the snowball pelts him into the horse poop, Hans is currently in a worse state than before, having been relegated to hard labor by his family. From the looks of it, the Southern Isles seems desolate and gloomy compared to Arendelle. The atmosphere is depressing, the nearby trees are dried up, and the stables alone are run down and grim. This is expanded upon in the tie-in book A Frozen Heart, which reveals that Hans's backstory is much worse than what he divulged to Anna.
  • Squick:
    • "I even got Kristoff and Sven to take a shower". The trolls mentioned Kristoff's hygiene earlier in Frozen proper. Obviously, it continues to be a questionable issue.
    • Olaf spitting out the bite of cake he tries to eat and putting the chewed-up wad back on the cake. Granted, he's a snowman so mouth germs might not be an issue, but it's still gross.
    • Elsa repeatedly touching Anna after she sneezes and wiping her nose with her hand. She also both wipes her nose with her hand and puts her hand on Kristoff's face in the first scene (and that's assuming viruses can't spread through her magic, otherwise the implications of her magically manipulating the birthday cake that a lot of people are going to eat are exponentially disgusting). While this is Justified in the time period of the short (Word of God says it's in 1840s, before people knew colds spread from human-to-human-contact, let alone the the existence of viruses), it's still disgusting to modern-age viewers who know you shouldn't touch other people after touching your nose or saliva when having a cold.
  • Tear Jerker: Elsa during the clock tower scene and during the walk back to the castle. She blames herself for "ruining" Anna's birthday by being sick, something that is totally beyond her control. And just look at her face after Anna catches her from falling off the tower: her eyes are downcast and ashamed.
  • The Woobie: Elsa, thanks to her illness interfering with her desperation to make up for Anna's isolated childhood.
