Kristoff vs Hans: Catching Anna

Someone made a comment to my last post of Kristoff being the first one who had really caught Anna for the first time since Elsa. They said that Hans said “Glad I caught you!” But here is why I don’t think that counts.

Hans: I have said this before and I will say it again: Hans is flirty. Everything he does is to win over Anna. Here Anna is pushed to the group, so why not catch her? It’s the perfect flirting tactic. And look at him how he smoothly pulls her up while putting his oh so sophisticated champagne glade down. Then he raises his eyebrows in a flirting manner as he leads her into a waltz. Everything he does is to please her, seduce her. Catching her is part of that plan.

Kristoff: This guy isn’t catching her for him, he’s catching her for her. He doesn’t expect to get any love from her. He doesn’t try. She just asks him to catch him and I think he would have anyways. I mean look at his worried face as she falls down. What if she falls? What if he doesn’t catch her? But he does and as you can see, he’s breathing heavily. He’s not trying to affect her because she already affects him. And that is confirmed by the lovestruck gaze he gives her once she leaves his arms.

So why don’t I count Hans as someone really saving and catching Anna? Because even without being knowing he is evil, he’s too smooth. He’s not doing it for her, he’s doing it for him.

Kristoff on the other hand is actually worried. He doesn’t want to have anything back, he just wants her safe because that would be his greatest reward.
