This is Elsanna.

At its heart, Elsanna is about two people finding strength and support and inspiration from one another.

Elsanna focuses on the light in Elsa’s eyes when she raises her head and sees Anna living once more.

In Anna’s warm and radiant presence, all the pain and all the devastation Elsa has suffered across the years slides away like the water cool mountain streams making way to the sea. Elsa can move forward in life with Anna, without reason to fear, without the guilt instilled in her since childhood.

And Elsanna also focuses on the warmth in Anna’s eyes and body language. Melting from ice, the first thing Anna sees is Elsa smiling up at her. And all the disorientation and horror of freezing fades. Anna knows her sister is with her, near to her. Look at the contentment and serenity in her face.

Elsa is the one holding her upright. Elsa is there to catch her should Anna fall. And Anna trusts Elsa and is comforted by her.

That is what Elsanna is. Even at the start, when their sisterly bond is still strained, they take solace in each other. They give each other all the hope and love they have to offer.

And together, they can smile. They can be of good cheer, their laughter resounding like the sound of skipping stones at a brook. There is great pain in the sisters’ pasts, but that pain does not come from conflict, malice, or an unhealthy relationship between them. It comes from outside forces – the dread instilled by the trolls, Agnarr’s inability to quell that dread in Elsa, Agnarr’s fears that his people would turn against his daughter…



Indeed, Anna and Elsa’s love is the one glimmer of brightness amidst all that shadow. It is the love and happiness that fends off the darkness.

Elsanna shippers see this, they understand this, and build upon the richness offered in the film.

Elsanna shippers realize that Elsa is horrified by the thought of hurting Anna, would never intentionally harm her. And they recognize that Anna’s has the intelligence, the empathy, and understanding to see that Elsa is no monster. Anna’s faith is rich and deep. Elsa’s love is boundless.

Hand in hand, Elsa and Anna give each other a better future…



Stripped to the barest essentials, Elsanna is faith and love and the promise of a better tomorrow…

It’s never only been about the frick-fracking.
