Yeah, just as most people in the Frozen fandom I’ve already read these news and rumors about Frozen Northern Lights the Deluxe Novelization. Now many are wondering what could this possibly be, it is a novelization so that alone tells us it is a retelling of something in a novel format, but a retelling of what?. As Stitch Kigndom mentions, this book is from Random House, the source for novelizations for movies and shorts, so that’s pretty interesting. As I’ve been doing in the past I’ll try to analyze the data we have available for some speculation that you might be interested in.



As I’ve seen many people is claiming this could be a new short, one longer than Fever given the length of the novel. Now TBH I’m not sure this works from a marketing stand point, we’re way too close to it’s release date as for them to not say anything, unless of course they don’t want to tire the market throwing Frozen stuff all the time, after all we recently got the Broadway show and Holiday special announcements. However comparing it to Fever, Fever was announced a whole 6 months prior to it’s debut, and the Deluxe novelization was released 3 days before. Meanwhile we’re at 4 months of Northern Lights.



Another theory I’ve seen out there is that this is the Holiday special novelization, this however is much more improbable if not impossible. The Holiday Special is just being written, it will debut late 2017 and even if they messed up the year (unlikely) and it debuted late 2016, getting the novelization out by July is ludicrous from any PoV.



Now reading comments, reblogs and whatnot on this I’ve come across other theories and I’ve thought of them too:



This could be the novelization for an stage show. Possible, is not like it’s unheard of. What kind of stage show, I can’t tell.



This could be the novelization of a Frozen videogame. Weird, but I guess it’s possible, yet the date is way too close for that I think.



This could be yet another novelization for Frozen itself, but From Elsa and Kristoff’s POVs similar to ‘A Frozen Heart’ which was from Anna and Hans’ POVs. Now I like this idea but I don’t think the title on Amazon works for that, nor does the rest of the info that Stitch Kingdom has. If this was true however, I think the title is perfect and describes Elsa and Kristoff very well, same as ‘A Frozen Heart’ described both Anna and Hans in an intriguing yet accurate way.



This could be the novelization based on the upcoming Frozen mini zone and park recreations on EPCOT. Possible, is not unheard of that Disney bases new material on their rides and they could be taken advantage of that, we also know the ride shows the trolls talking about how Anna and Kristoff met so the ride would be placed “after Frozen). The length seems exaggerated for it though, unless it contains lots of art, it is not a 100% convinced theory but it could be.



This could be the novelization for a Frozen series similar to the new TLK, Tangled and BH6 TV Series. Ok, while I do see plausible the creation of such series, I don’t think they would create it yet, before Frozen 2, and if they do, they would certainly announce it much sooner. I mean Tangled Before Ever after and the new BH6 series were announced more than a year prior, so this doesn’t work.



This could be the novelization for a Frozen OUATA Spin Off. Uh this is even weirder. First of all OUAT has worked with Marvel before , not novels and it wouldn’t make sense to present an entire tv series season in such format. Beyond that, Elizabeth Lail is meant to work with OUAT creators in another kind of series so she wouldn’t be able to play a lead roll on a OUAT spin off, this is just not possible.



Of course in the end I have truly no idea, and none of us, at this moment can know. If I had to ponder every theory, a short seems the most plausible of all but it still doesn’t feel quite right. If it is a short I’ll be extremely happy, we really need something this year (I’m hopping for at least one episode of OUAT S6 with the Frozen characters or even just Elsa, since she’s the most likely to appear due her magic). However I’m not getting my hopes up, I’ve been trolled by too many companies and writers in the past and I really would like to avoid that this time. This could be something random, this could be a mistake, even on Amazon’s part and the release date could be later, maybe, I don’t know.



Right now all we can do is wait for official news, while speculating at this time could be fun I think all I’ve put here is enough on my part and I’ll try to avoid getting worked up or exited about it until I know for sure. In any case, we’re just 4 months away from the book’s release, which means that whatever Frozen: Northern Lights is will come within a week after that, so it will come in a little more than 4 months.



Hopefully it’s something interesting, really hope it’s not a videogame or a stage show since I want something canon or at least as interesting on it’s own as OUAT!Frozen and AFH, for now I’d advice to take this slowly and just wait, I’m sure we will get official info very soon, I’d even say this month, but who knows.
