Frozen Is Cool! Elsa the Snow Queen Rules!

Hello everyone! My name is Moira, and welcome to my Tumblr page! 😁😁😁 I am an ISFJ, a Ravenclaw, and an American with Irish, English, French, and German roots. I love movies and have a deep interest in filmmaking. I am an avid fan of Star Wars, Harry Potter (both the books and films), and Disney, especially of animated ones and including those from Pixar. Since Frozen was released on November 27, 2013, it has become one of my biggest obsessions and passions, which has further strengthened since the release of Frozen II. I originally started this blog with the intention of liking and reblogging posts about Frozen, then in mid-2014, I began making my own works for said film in the form of analyses. I have written over 135 analyses for the original Frozen alone, and I currently have over 50 for Frozen II (some of which talk about both movies). Since then, though, I have branched out for the franchise by making gif sets from both feature films and the two shorts. I have also written analyses for Star Wars and other various Disney animated films, including Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, as well as some for Hey Arnold! and The Powerpuff Girls, which are my favorite cartoons.

Why couldn't Hans kill his own brothers to rule his kingdom?

Because there would have been something rotten in Denmark!

Now for those of you who don’t understand, let me explain this. The phrase “something is rotten in Denmark” is used to mean that something suspicious is happening in a situation. Such a thing would have happened if Hans tried to seize control of his own kingdom. If he killed all of his brothers in order to get to the throne, suspicions would eventually arouse and point towards him, so he would definitely get caught.

In terms of the expression using “Denmark” regarding the setting, this is appropriate because Denmark is speculated to be Hans’s home country. The major points that can support this include

Hans is a Danish name, the equivalent of the name John.
Hans was named after Hans Christian Andersen, who was Danish and wrote “The Snow Queen,” the fairy tale upon which Frozen is based.
Hans’s home kingdom is the Southern Isles, and Denmark is comprised mostly of islands.
Since Arendelle is implied to be set in Norway, Hans’s kingdom would actually be in Denmark, because Denmark is south of Norway in real life.
