We have always feared Elsa’s powers were too much for this world. Now, we must pray they are enough.

Collaboration: Discussing the books of the Frozen Franchise.

Introduction

A while ago, I had written a post discussing all of the content in the Frozen Franchise, decoding what should be considered canon to the overall story.

- Frozen Canon Talk -

As a collaboration project with @hafanforever ​, the two of us decided that we would discuss the books of the Frozen franchise, and discuss what makes some canon and what does not. The reasoning behind this was due to overall confusion on what novels, comics, and guide books have reliable information about characters, motivations, and overall lore. We focused our attention on books because they are what specifically tend to have added information or significant prequel and post-movie content that adds both story and lore to the franchise.

In my post, I will be discussing which books have a strong case of being canon; if you have seen my canon post, this will basically fall under the hard canon and soft canon. Hafanforever has her own post that continues the discussion towards what is not considered canon (Loose canon and Non-canon). Please read it below to see the full collaboration effort, and see more detail on why certain books are not canon.

- Canon Fodder Part 2 -

Also, a big thank you goes to @hafanforever​ for not only choosing to collaborate with me on this project, but also for coming up with the title for our posts.

Which Elements Help Make a Book Canon?

When discussing the canonical strength of a specific book, I look for two main components that determine where it falls on the canon spectrum -

Collaboration with Filmmakers - Did the author of said book have help from the main creative team to some extent? Working collaboratively with the main creative team guarantees that the interpretations of characters and situations will follow their true intentions.

Creation Time Period - If the team was not directly involved, or it is unclear if they were, then I look to see when the book was made. If a book was already in the process of being written or was created during the film’s development, it means that the story and/or lore presented was taken directly from the creative team to some extent.

Consistent Lore - Does the story presented in the book follow the established lore presented by the main creative team? When a book follows established lore to a tee, it gives the book more credit because it means that the author is doing their research.

Which Books Have These Elements?

Novelizations are typically made during a film’s development, with the specific intention to deliver the film in a novel format. However, I included them in soft canon simply because there are times when the novel is being written and is close to being done, but the film team decides to remove or shorten a scene and there is no time to change it. However, for the most part, they follow lore consistently and do not have any major changes. Thus, novelizations have the Creation Time Period element and Consistent Lore element.

These three guide books - Frozen: The Essential Guide, Frozen: Unlocking Arendelle, and Frozen 2: The Magical Guide - each has the Creation Time Period element and Consistent Lore element. Like novelizations, they might include old concept art or removed scenes, simply because there was no time to change it. Thus, that is why I have them as Soft Canon.

- Updated 2/3/21- Joe Caramagna, from 2018 onward, had collaborated with Black Horse Comics, under the supervision of Jennifer Lee, and wrote four Frozen related comics series - Breaking Boundaries, True Treasure, The Hero Within, and Reunion Road. Thus, this series of comics has the collaboration element and can be considered canon.

Finally, we have the two Frozen 2 Novels - Dangerous Secrets and Forest of Shadows. What makes these novels particularly special is that they add significant lore to the franchise and have an established shared universe with each other. Both novels mention -

  • The Huldrefolk of the mountains.
  • Sorenson the Scientist.
  • The Secret Room in the Library behind the statue of a Nokk. 

Also, both novels include elements that the main creative team wanted to have for Anna in Frozen 2, but were forced to get rid of due to time constraints or narrative flow. This includes Forest of Shadows focusing on Anna’s self-worth and love of Arendelle and Dangerous Secrets including Agnarr and Iduna’s feelings for Anna (Her love could hold up the world.)

These novels are Hard Canon because they have Consistent Lore, the added bonus of Creation Time, and Collaboration, not only with the films but also with each other.

In these interviews listed below, both authors confirm that they had extensive help from the creative team and were assigned to their projects during the creative process of Frozen 2.

Also, Mari Mancusi has confirmed on her Tumblr the same information, as well as more information regarding the removed elements from Frozen 2 concerning Iduna and Agnarr. This includes the couple’s tree and scenes of Iduna in the Orphanage. 

*BONUS*

Art-books are essentially ‘The Making of’s’ in book format, and have notes from the creative team as well as official concepts and concept art.

Far away, as north as we could go, stood a very old, very enchanted forest. But its magic wasn’t that of goblin spells and lost fairies. It was protected by the most powerful spirits of all: those of air, of fire, of water, and of earth.
