History Foreshadowing / Frozen2013

* When Kristoff and Ryder are talking about speaking for reindeer, they say that it's a matter of feeling the words and letting them come out without overthinking it -- which also serves as a concise description of what Kristoff fails to do in every one of his disastrous attempts to propose to Anna.

* When he and Anna see the dam, Kristoff says it's good that the dam is in good shape because if it broke, it would send a tidal wave so big it would wash away everything on the fjord, including Arendelle. After that, you just know the dam is going down. [[spoiler: Anna and Elsa find out that their grandfather was a treacherous, backstabbing SOB who built the dam to weaken the Enchanted forest. Anna provokes the earth giants to destroy the dam, and Elsa protects Arendelle from the tidal wave with her magic.]]

** [[spoiler:The "winged fairy queen who breaks the spell and saves everyone!" A sort of fairy queen is key in the climax - Elsa, riding in on the Nokk, uses magic to protect Arendelle from a giant wave. A shot shows her on horseback, with her cape (made from two pieces of ice/fabric) billowing out from her back like wings. She can do this because a spell was broken, too, by Anna when she breaks the dam, which not only helps stop the damage her grandfather had done, but breaks the magical barrier separating the two nations and restores Elsa to life.]]

* During the charades game, Anna comments, "Two sisters, one mind." [[spoiler:By the end, Elsa realizes that their sisterly bond created a new bridge to connect the two countries. As she said to Anna, "A bridge has two sides, and Mother had two daughters."]]

* "Into the Unknown" has Elsa's magic creating images of the four spirits out of ice particles. But it also has a brief image of [[spoiler: Agnarr and Iduna as children]].

* During Anna and Olaf's duet about how certain things will stay the same way, the things they sing about don't stay the same and a few put Olaf in danger. [[spoiler:Their close relationship is one of the things they sing about, Olaf dies for a while later on.]]

** "[[DarkestHour When all is lost]], then [[EarnYourHappyEnding all is found]]." [[spoiler:Elsa turns into ice after learning that her grandfather was an EvilColonialist who built the dam to weaken the Enchanted Forest. Anna learns that too, finds out that Elsa is dead because Olaf dies as well, and nearly despairs. Then, she has to provoke the earth giants to break the dam to right the wrong done by her grandfather, which also means destroying Arendelle. And then, Elsa comes back to life, saves Arendelle from the tidal wave, and she and Anna rebuild Olaf.]]

** "Dive down deep into her sound/But not too deep or you'll be drowned." [[spoiler:Even after finding the truth about her grandfather's actions, Elsa wanted to know more. She follows his image deep down into the pit of Ahtohallan, where she "drowns" by being frozen into ice by the magical glacier.]]

* A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example, but on the way to Elsa's palace, Olaf responds to Anna's insistence that there's no reason to fear HeroWithBadPublicity Elsa by gushing about how he thinks she sounds like the nicest, warmest person ever... and inadvertently walks through one of her magic's icicles. "[[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Oh look, I've been impaled]]." While funny, it does foreshadow [[spoiler:Elsa accidentally impaling Anna through the heart with her magic (which nearly kills her), as well as almost (deliberately) impaling the Duke of Weselton's henchmen when they come to kill her.]] She might genuinely be a nice and warm person, but that doesn't mean she can't also cause harm.

** "Can you face what the River knows?" [[spoiler:It turns out that Anna and Elsa's grandfather built the dam to [[ManipulativeBastard secretly weaken the Northuldra]] out of fear of their relationship with magic, and then [[InTheBack murdered the defenseless Northuldra leader]] who tried to reason with him.]] Needless to say, both Anna and Elsa are horrified by this revelation.

** "Can you face what the River knows?" [[spoiler:It turns out that Anna and Elsa's grandfather [[FantasticRacism hated magic and anyone associated with it]], built the dam to [[ManipulativeBastard secretly weaken the Northuldra]], and then [[InTheBack murdered the defenseless Northuldra leader]] who tried to reason with him.]] Needless to say, both Anna and Elsa are horrified by this revelation.

** Another element of foreshadowing, [[https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2013/11/explaining-five-songs-frozen/355512/ noted by the writers,]] is in the simple fact of how this romance and engagement is [[spoiler:happening far too smoothly and too early in the film, with plenty of time remaining for something to go horribly wrong.]]

** In the line, "You and I were both meant to be", Hans says "You..." while Anna says "...and I", both referring to her. This odd use of pronouns hints that [[spoiler:Hans will leave Anna all alone, which he later does when he traps her in a room. Alternatively, it foreshadows Hans' plan to kill Elsa.]]

** In the line, "You and I were both meant to be", Hans says "You..." while Anna says "...and I", both referring to her.

Alternatively, it foreshadows Hans' plan to kill Elsa.]]

** [[spoiler:A snowman and a prince are endangered because of a spell. Kristoff gets lost in the woods, and Olaf temporarily dies thanks to Elsa's magic being undone.]] [[Kristoff also gets married to Anna, who is crowned queen o Arendelle, making Kristoff her consort.]]
