** He wouldn't necessarily have to ''fire'' the servants outright, which would be both callous and insulting to their skills. Many of them could have been assigned to duties outside the palace, or recommended for positions (with promotion!) at the estates of friendly nobles and crown officials.

*** If the girls had planned in advance to sneak outside and build a snowman that night, they could easily have saved back the carrot from a meal or begged one off a stable-worker to "feed the horses", as well as selecting twigs and coal from the fuel supplies at any fireplace in the palace. They hid these materials away until nightfall, then brought them outside for playtime.

* During the climax of the reprise of "For The First Time in Forever", Elsa loses control of her powers and accidentally blasts Anna in the heart. Her reaction to seeing Anna collapsed and gripping her chest in pain shows that she knows what she did and is rightfully horrified. Her actions up to this point was to protect Anna from this very scenario. The thing is, Elsa knows who can help Anna...so why doesn't she tell Anna to find the trolls? Instead of trying to help her sister, she creates Marshmallow to throw her, Kristoff and Olaf out. I mean, I guess it's so Kristoff can have a point in the plot. But couldn't he have been like "Yeah, I know who they are" when Elsa tells them "Look, I don't know where the trolls are but they're the only ones who can help you"?

* If "love will thaw", does that mean that Elsa cannot use her powers while she's feeling affectionate, and would have to force herself not to feel affectionate if she wanted to use magic on purpose?

** As ''Creator/TerryPratchett'' once pointed out, the "True King" is the one that gets crowned. Hans doesn't need a truly legitimate claim, he just needs an opportunity, and he has a power vacuum, support both local and international, and by virtue of Anna leaving him in charge, he is already the voice of authority. He's also relatively charming and handsome, always a bonus, but he is defacto the King right there and then. The people who matter are obeying him. With Anna dead, and Elsa villainised, the way is clear for him. Real life thrones have been won over dodgier claims. People get hung up on the rules and minutiae, but those are only important in peace time, non emergencies, and in the modern day when Monarchy doesn't really have any power. In times where the Crown and Throne had real power, as it appears to have in Arrendelle, things get a lot murkier, and Realpolitik takes precedent over monarchial minutiae.

* Hans' evil plan does not appear to make any sense on multiple levels. Would the monarchy of Arendelle ''really'' allow an outsider to take the throne by marrying and outliving the reigning monarch (much less the monarch's non-reigning ''sibling''?) In real-life monarchies such as that in England, being married to the king or queen regnant makes you the "royal consort", but it does ''not'' put you in line to inherit the throne outright if they die, and it does not change the order of succession. If Arendelle is anything like this, then Hans could only ever hope to be in power if Anna becomes queen, and even then, only for as long as Anna remains ''alive'' (should she die as queen, he would become a powerless "dowager prince" and the throne would go to whoever was originally next in line anyway, probably a relative of the royal family.) So how could he inherit any power whatsoever by leaving her to die (without her even having become queen) and pretending to have married her (with no witnesses to boot?)
