Anna!

Hans rushes to Anna’s side.

Elsa reaches the far shore. She doesn’t look back. She just

scrambles into the mountains.

ANNA:

No.

HANS:

(shocked)

Look.... The fjord.

The ice spreads out until the entire fjord is frozen, locking

the ships in place.

INT. CASTLE COURTYARD — NIGHT

Snow falls. Hans and Anna move through the panicking crowd.

CROWD WALLAH:

Snow? It’s...snow...in July.

FROZEN - J. Lee

HANS:

...Are you all right?

ANNA:

(in shock)

No.

HANS:

Did you know?

ANNA:

No.

Nearby, the Duke flutters about in fright.

DUKE:

Look! It’s snowing! It’s snowing!

The Queen has cursed this land! She

must be stopped!

(to his thugs)

You have to go after her.

Anna rushes up to the Duke.

ANNA:

Wait, no!

The Duke hides behind his thugs and points out at Anna.

DUKE:

You! Is there sorcery in you, too?

Are you a monster, too?

ANNA:

No. No. I’m completely ordinary.

HANS:

That’s right she is...

(realizing how that

sounds)

...in the best way.

ANNA:

...And my sister’s not a monster.

DUKE:

She nearly killed me.

HANS:

You slipped on ice.

DUKE:

Her ice!

FROZEN - J. Lee

ANNA:

It was an accident. She was scared.

She didn’t mean it. She didn’t mean

any of this.... Tonight was my

fault. I pushed her. So I’m the one

that needs to go after her.

DUKE:

Yes. Fine. Do.

HANS:

What?

ANNA:

(to the Royal Handler)

Bring me my horse, please.

HANS:

Anna, no. It’s too dangerous.

ANNA:

Elsa’s not dangerous. I’ll bring

her back, and I’ll make this right.

The Royal Handler brings Anna her horse and a cloak.

HANS:

I’m coming with you.

ANNA:

No, I need you here to take care of

Arendelle.

He sees the desperation in her eyes.

HANS:

...On my honor.

She throws on the cloak and hops right onto the horse,

coronation dress and all.

ANNA:

(to the crowd)

I leave Prince Hans in charge!

HANS:

(before letting her go)

Are you sure you can trust her? I

don’t want you getting hurt.

ANNA:

She’s my sister; she would never

hurt me.

FROZEN - J. Lee

She snaps the reins and rides out. Hans watches after her.

The snow picks up and overtakes our view. We push through a

blizzard...lose our way...then finds ourselves...

EXT. HIGH UP IN THE MOUNTAINS — NIGHT

Well above the snow-line, a small figure climbs the highest

peak. It’s Elsa. Finally, she stops, looks around. Catches

her breath and sings...

“Let It Go”

ELSA:

THE SNOW GLOWS WHITE

ON THE MOUNTAIN TONIGHT,

NOT A FOOTPRINT TO BE SEEN.

A KINGDOM OF ISOLATION

AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M THE QUEEN.

THE WIND IS HOWLING

LIKE THIS SWIRLING STORM INSIDE.

COULDN'T KEEP IT IN,

HEAVEN KNOWS I TRIED. . .

DON'T LET THEM IN,

DON'T LET THEM SEE,

BE THE GOOD GIRL YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO

BE.

CONCEAL,

DON'T FEEL,

DON'T LET THEM KNOW.

WELL, NOW THEY KNOW.

Elsa takes off her glove and throws it into the air.

ELSA (CONT’D)

LET IT GO. LET IT GO.

CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMORE.

Elsa creates a snowman, just like the one she made with Anna

when they were children.

ELSA (CONT’D)

LET IT GO. LET IT GO.

TURN AWAY AND SLAM THE DOOR.

I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO

SAY.

LET THE STORM RAGE ON.

THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY.

Elsa lets her cape fly back into the wind.

FROZEN - J. Lee

ELSA (CONT’D)

IT'S FUNNY HOW SOME DISTANCE

MAKES EVERYTHING SEEM SMALL.

AND THE FEARS THAT ONCE CONTROLLED ME

CAN'T GET TO ME AT ALL.

IT'S TIME TO SEE

WHAT I CAN DO,

TO TEST THE LIMITS AND BREAK THROUGH.

NO RIGHT, NO WRONG,

NO RULES FOR ME...I'M FREE!

Elsa creates ice steps and climbs them.

ELSA (CONT’D)

LET IT GO! LET IT GO!

I AM ONE WITH THE WIND AND SKY.

LET IT GO! LET IT GO!

YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME CRY.

HERE I STAND AND HERE I'LL STAY.

Elsa slams her foot down and forms a giant snowflake.

ELSA (CONT’D)

LET THE STORM RAGE ON....

In a flurry of creative release, she raises the snowflake on

ice beams, builds walls, archways, a glistening chandelier,

and an intricate ceiling that leaves the sky visible.

ELSA (CONT’D)

MY POWER FLURRIES THROUGH THE AIR

INTO THE GROUND.

MY SOUL IS SPIRALING IN FROZEN

FRACTALS ALL AROUND.

AND ONE THOUGHT CRYSTALLIZES LIKE

AN ICY BLAST-

Standing firmly in her mighty ice palace, Elsa removes her

crown and throws it.

ELSA (CONT’D)

I'M NEVER GOING BACK,

(back to resolve)

THE PAST IS IN THE PAST!

She takes down her hair and creates a new dress made of ice.

ELSA (CONT’D)

LET IT GO! LET IT GO!

AND I'LL RISE LIKE THE BREAK OF DAWN.

LET IT GO! LET IT GO!

The sun rises. Elsa struts onto out onto a balcony and into

the light. She’s free.

FROZEN - J. Lee

ELSA (CONT’D)

THAT PERFECT GIRL IS GONE.

HERE I STAND IN THE LIGHT OF DAY.

LET THE STORM RAGE ON!!

THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY.

She turns and slams her ice palace door on us.

CUT TO:

EXT. THE FJORD FOREST — DAY

Anna rides her horse through two feet of snow. She shivers.

ANNA:

(shivering)

Elsa! Elsa! It’s me, Anna...your

sister who didn’t mean to make you

freeze the summer. I’m sorry. It’s

all my f-f-f-f-f-f-fault.

DISSOLVE TO:

LATER:
Anna and the horse struggle through a wooded area.

ANNA (CONT’D)

(hearing a wolf howl)

Of course, none of this would have

happened if she’d just told me her

secret...ha...she’s a stinker.

A branch of a nearby tree snaps and startles the horse. Anna

goes flying off, lands face down in the snow. She sits up.

Spits out snow. Sees the horse running away.

ANNA (CONT’D)

Oh no. No. No. No. Come back. No.

No. No. No.... Oooo-kay.

He doesn’t come back. Anna grabs onto a branch of a leaning

conifer, tries to pull herself to her feet, but the tree

snaps upright and releases all its snow onto her. GROAN.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. MOUNTAIN — NIGHT

The Northern Lights shine as Anna struggles, out of breath,

reaching the top of a hill.

FROZEN - J. Lee

ANNA:

Snow, it had to be snow, she

couldn’t have had tr-tr-tropical

magic that covered the f-f-fjords

in white sand and warm -

She sees smoke rising up in the distance.

ANNA (CONT’D)

Fire! WHOA!

Anna goes tumbling down the hill. She lands with a crash in

an icy stream at the bottom.

ANNA (CONT’D)

(from inside the snowball)

Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold...

EXT. A SMALL BUILDING AND STABLE — NIGHT

Anna shuffles up to the building, her dress frozen stiff. She

shakes the snow off a sign and reads:

ANNA:

Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post.

Snow drops off a smaller sign. She reads it, happily.

ANNA (CONT’D)

Ooh! And Sauna...

INT. WANDERING OAKEN’S TRADING POST & SAUNA — NIGHT

Anna steps cautiously through the door--which hits her frozen

butt and knocks her into the center of the shop. She looks

around, sees only summer supplies.
