So the horse and salamander were included just to sell toys, right? Was the addition of the spirit mythos appropriate for Frozen?

I dunno, it feels weird to me to have an entire pantheon of spirits and ancient magic bolted onto a story that used to be just "one girl has powers".
That said, Bruni is cute.

I watched the making-of thing on D+ while half drunk and the one thing I remember is that the lizard was barely in the movie until they did a screening for kids and discovered he was popular... they really needed a private survey to know that cute animal sidekicks are popular?

literally everything about the movie was just to sell toys user. it's a sequel.
the spirits belonged to the savages in the murder woods user, keep up
Logan Morgan
Man, remember when cartoons were actually about selling toys and not progressive agitprop?
Wyatt Perez
Of course, it's also why Porgs were included in the Star Wars sequels, and why "baby Yoda" is in The Mandalorian. Everything is obligated to have a cutesy animal character that can be merchandised.
Andrew Collins
Don't forget the Earth Giants. Kids love these guys, right?
Too bad they made the 4th spirit literally invisible, kind of hard to sell toys of that.
Ryder Morgan
I think Porg popularity dropped off fast, but they hit gold with Baby Yoda
William Hall
True. I'm not sure why Anna is still in the movies.
Colton Kelly
Anna is the cutesy sidekick.

Its pretty stupid desu.
Its supposed to be a nordic movie about nordic themes and fairytales.
Its not like Hans Christian Andersons Ice Queen is the only thing he ever wrote. Why couldent they just expand thar universe?
Or maybe even gone for nordic mythology, and thrown in a tiny dash of norse?
But noooo. Have to be animist magic bullshit.
Brayden Peterson
This is how Elsa sees her sister: a helpless baby who must be protected.

It is a Disney movie, maybe they didn't want to step on Thor's territory too much. Otherwise you'd have people shipping Elsa with Loki.
Robert Gonzalez
they could have frost giants, but make them sexy
Joshua Lopez
Going full Nord would be great. I want to see Yggdrasil, I want to see Jormungandr. And then I want to see Arendelle destroyed in Ragnarok.
Jason Williams
The water horse is explicitly nordic at least. Probably could have drawn from more saami mythology too, but the idpols might have ree’d over appropriation.

The only spirit that makes sense is the Water Nøkk and he's a dick.

I'm not even mad they tried to make Elsa a knockoff Avatar, just don't know why they did it in the most ass-backwards way possible
Nicholas Walker
I think they missed an opportunity making cute baby earth giants. Though I guess that's too similar to the trolls
Anthony Green
Elsa is perfect

They didn't even need Ahtohallan, nordic myth already had a magical frozen river.

It could still be that, the Northuldra just called it something different.
