Shout Out / Frozen (2013)

Go To

  • To Arrested Development, of all things, with the Duke of Weaseltown (WESELTON!) doing Lindsay Fünke's "chicken dance" during the ballroom scene.
  • A special mention to the names of Anna and Elsa's servants, Kai and Gerda, the names from the original story that the film is based upon.
  • Look closely at the truffles plate during the second verse of "For the First Time In Forever" at Anna's line of "I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face!". They resemble the mountains from Sugar Rush.
  • Anna and Kristoff escaping from Marshmallow via rappelling down the cliff bears reference to King Kong (1933): Marshmallow pulls them up to yell "DON'T COME BAAAAACCK!" and then Anna and Kristoff cut the rope.
  • Also from Marshmallow's scenes: his initial facial expressions when he ambushes Hans's search party bear resemblance to expressions that Sulley makes when scaring Boo in Monsters, Inc..
  • There's a scene in the town square where two men are arguing over the correct way to stack firewood: bark up, or bark down. This refers to a heated debate in Norway (part of Scandinavia, where the film is believed to be set) that was sparked the year the movie was released, after a 12-hour TV program on firewood aired. It included 8 hours of a live fireplace, and the network received dozens of text messages complaining about how the firewood was stacked. The complaints were split evenly between people who were upset about bark facing up, and those who were complaining about bark facing down.
  • At one point in Frozen Fever, Olaf said "I can fix it!"
  • There's a Mike Wazowski figurine on Oaken's desk next to the troll figurines.
  • There's one point in "In Summer" where there's a sandwoman that's inspired by the Coppertone girl.
  • One of the shelves at Oaken's shop has a Mickey Mouse plush on it.
  • The way Anna punches Hans in his face is heavily similar to the scene where Hermione Granger punches Draco Malfoy.
