Olaf - Ice Fever
Initially, many viewers recognized Olaf as the hero of the famous cartoon Frozen, which became the highest grossing in 2013. This is a small humanoid snowman. At one time, it was created by the sorcery of the little princess Elsa. Snowman Olaf is insanely kind, friendly and not discouraged. He is slightly gullible, so he often finds himself in interesting incidents. But he is happy about this, because he is inquisitive and needs a change of scenery. And most importantly, his desire is to meet the summer, because he is delighted with the warmth. One day, with his friends, he went on a very dangerous and possibly even deadly campaign. But what is the outcome of these journeys and what else this character will please the viewer with - you will soon find out.
At first glance, Elsa has a cold-blooded heart and a cold mind. It seems that she does not like the company of other people and in order to meet less with others, Elsa settled in a place far from human settlements. For her unsociable nature, she received the nickname "Snow Queen". But this is not true! In fact, Elsa lives in constant fear. After the coronation, she is endowed with amazing power - to create frost. It is the power that allows her to create beauty. But inept handling of this power can cause great harm to others. Once Elsa almost killed her younger sister Anna. That is why she settled away from people in order to protect them from herself. Elsa continues to practice. She tries to contain the growing power. But resentment, fear and anger do not allow her to concentrate, and she makes mistakes. By chance, Elsa plunges the whole country into eternal winter.

Kristoff
Kristoff is a nice guy and a true nature lover. He lives high in the mountains, extracts ice and sells it to the inhabitants of the capital Arendale. Anna accidentally meets this mountaineer on her way and he agrees to take her to the Snow Queen's castle. Uncouth in appearance, Kristoff is actually strong, honest and loyal. Romantic Anna during their journey did not care about her safety at all. From the outside it might seem that she just went out for a walk. That is why Christophe had to be always on the alert. He knows exactly how insidious and dangerous this beautiful ice can be! While he may at first appear to be a hardened loner, he actually just doesn't get along very well with people. But he always has his best friend with him - a charming and very smart deer named Sven.
Hans is the exact opposite of Christoph. He is elegant, refined, a real prince. He is the youngest of 12 brothers. He knows firsthand what it means to be the youngest, to grow up in the shadow of his older brothers. He, like Anna, was almost invisible in his family. Perhaps that is why he and Anna got along so quickly. Anna tries to find in Hans the attention that she has always lacked from her sister. A military bearing is immediately visible in it. At the first acquaintance, his gallantry and high manners attract attention. Together with his family, Hans comes to Arendel for Elsa's coronation. It was at the coronation that he saw Anna, the prince immediately liked the girl and he promises her that Anna will always be in the center of attention for him. You can draw this young prince yourself here.
So, meet the reindeer Sven. If you recall the latest Disney cartoons, then there was always a horse or donkey that was much smarter than its owner. Disney writers like this type. Same with this cartoon. Reindeer Sven is Kristoff's wise helper. But in this cartoon, the authors did not reward Sven with a voice. But he is very smart and manages to tell the owner this or that thought without words. And Christoph, in turn, voices the deer's thoughts in a funny voice, which irritates Sven very much. He always takes the owner's side and cheers him up when Christophe is in doubt. And he is strong, hardy - just an ideal companion in the icy mountains. Until now, he has faithfully helped Christophe to get ice and take it to Arendel. And now he will help the mountaineer to lead Anna to the Snow Queen's castle. What would Christophe do without him?

One of the highest-grossing and popular animated films from the Walt Disney Film Company is Frozen. The picture was published in 2013, won a lot of sympathy from the audience, as well as millions of positive reviews from critics. In the center of the plot are two sisters, namely, Elsa, who has the gift of creating ice, and Anna. These are the main characters. "Frozen" is a cartoon in which they were extremely successful in comparing an interesting plot, extraordinary characters and high-quality graphics.
The beginning of time
Arendelle is a fictional kingdom led by a king and queen with two daughters. This is where all the characters live. The cold, magical heart of Elsa, the elder sister, allows her to create not only beautiful snowflakes, but also whole
For a long time, the sisters have fun with the help of such magic, but one day Anna, slipping, gets injured. Trolls are engaged in her cure - very good-natured and sweet characters. The cold heart of the older sister, they say, will cause misfortune for the whole family. So they erase Anna's memories and advise Elsa to never use her gift again.
In desperation, the girl locks herself in her room, and leaves only after the death of her parents, on the day when she is crowned on the throne of Arendelle. Having lost control over herself, in front of everyone, Elsa freezes the kingdom and dooms it to eternal winter. Frightened by her own deeds, she runs far, far away. But Anna goes looking for her. Elsa's cold heart, meanwhile, helps create an ice palace where the queen lives on her own.
queen elsa
The majestic and graceful appearance of the older sister from the very first frames of the cartoon tells us that she was born to be a queen. However, behind the aristocratic and restrained character lies fear. Elsa does not want her gift to cause pain to other people close to her.
Once wounding her sister, she decides to lock herself in her room and never play with Anna again. In her chambers, Elsa Frozen creates an eternal winter in which she spends all of her young years. Coming out for the coronation, she gives vent to emotions, dooming the whole country to eternal cold and frost. Elsa's main problem is that she cannot control her gift, she takes it for a curse and considers herself a monster. But in fact, other characters are the reason for this attitude towards themselves. Elsa's cold heart is actually kind and has a much more valuable gift - the ability to love.
Princess Anna
The younger sister is the complete opposite of Elsa. She is brave, courageous, determined. In addition, she does not leave the belief that there is something good in every person. Reuniting with Elsa after a long break is what the grown-up Anna wants most of all. The cold heart of her sister does not repel her. After Elsa's escape, the younger sister, without a shred of doubt, goes in search of her. She overcomes all obstacles, and as a result helps her sister understand that she is not a monster at all.
Prince Hans
On the day of Elsa's coronation, many overseas guests arrived in Arendelle. Among them was the prince of the southern islands, Hans Vestergaard, who immediately turned Anna's head and offered her a hand and a heart. He was courteous and gallant, knew how to court and please, always behaved with dignity and was an excellent role model. It seemed to the princess that it was, however, the older sister who did not give her blessing for this marriage. Leaving her native kingdom in order to find her sister, Anna had to leave her fiancé as well. But when she returned home, she realized that Hans was not at all who he claimed to be. His plans were only to take possession of Arendelle and execute both sisters.
Kristoff - true friend and true love
Passing through the snow and cold, Anna stumbles upon a lonely hut, where she meets an unsociable and slightly rude young man. Initially, Kristoff Bjorgman appears to the viewer as a loner, but while traveling with Anna, he changes dramatically, finds new friends and his love. In addition, his faithful companion and companion is a reindeer named Sven. At the end of the film, it turns out that Kristoff is the same guy who sincerely loves Anna and is ready to do anything for her.
my reindeer
The unsociable Kristoff was Sven - a deer with a very kind soul. From the outside, it seems that his image and character were copied from a Labrador dog. Sven is just as playful, but very accommodating and always ready to save his master. And he very accurately conveys his mood by snorting, and in a very interesting and funny manner.
Olaf
The snowman created by Elsa Frozen with the help of her gift is incredibly charming and cheerful. Anna and Kristoff meet him on their way to the queen's snow kingdom, and he has been a true friend ever since. Despite the fact that Olaf is a creature of snow, he has a cherished dream. He wants to see summer, at least out of the corner of his eye. After Elsa learned to control her gift and returned warm weather to Arendelle, she created a personal cloud for the snowman, which gave him the opportunity to live in the summer and not melt.
Marshmallow
There are other characters in the cartoon. Elsa's cold heart was able to create an evil, scary monster. Marshmallow is a giant snow creature that guards the ice palace and drives away unwanted guests. One day Anna, Kristoff and Olaf run into him. They miraculously manage to escape alive. Zefirka did not give out special remarks throughout the cartoon, he only growled angrily and chased the main characters.
