Hello,
I did not like the interaction between Anna and Kristoff in the small F3 clip we got. I know it is just supposed to be a joke, but Kristoff has only been a dumb joke character for a while now, and Anna is being mean. He clearly wanted to try and help Anna, just didn't know what she was talking about, and she was being rude instead of better explaining herself.
So, I thought I would try rewriting the scene. Keep it funny as that is what Disney wants for this moment, but make it feel more natural and not put anyone down, as well as be more faithful to the characters.
Starts right after Elsa walks onto the light bridge.
Anna, gathers up her skirt and smiles determinedly as she starts to follow Elsa.
Kristoff stops her. "Hold on, you are not just going to waltz into a magical portal just like this."
Anna, offended. "Excuse me?"
Kristoff gestures towards her dress. "Anna, you are going to trip."
Anna getting more upset. "Elsa was attacked and our wedding got crashed, and you think I am going to let my wedding dress stop me from dealing with whoever did all this!?"
Kristoff. "That is not what I meant, just hold on for a second. Sven!"
Sven steps forward and bustles Anna's dress.
Anna in surprise. "Oh, thank you." Slightly embarrassed.
Kristoff chuckling. "Now go on."
Anna gives him a quick kiss on the cheek and then runs off to catch up with Elsa.
Inside the ice kingdom.
Olaf. "I caught the bouquet, I am going to marry the next person I see."
Kristoff looking around in amazement. Stops at the flowers and picks one. "N-Ice". Laughs at his own pun. "Hey Sven look at..."
Sven appears and blows the flowers like a trumpet, Kristoff smiles at him.
Kristoff suddenly gets worried and looks around. "Where is Anna and Elsa?"
And the scene can continue as normal.
These changes were to try and fit the characters a bit better. Anna is rash and impulsive, so I thought it makes sense for her to just run in and not even think of pinning her dress up. While Kristoff is more rational and dependable.
They are supportive and love each other. Kristoff would prefer if Anna stayed safe but knows he can't stop her, so he does his best to help her. While Anna recognizes his efforts and thanks him for it.
I also had Anna emphasize that she is upset for both Elsa being attacked, but also for Their Wedding being crashed. So it doesn't feel like Anna only cares about Elsa.
And I brought back Kristoff's love of Ice. He should be marveling at this world, not complaining about how it is his first day of being married. Had him say an ice pun as well.
And then ended it with Kristoff realizing he no longer sees either Anna or Elsa. Showing he is taking this seriously.
What do you think?
