ANNA'S VILLAIN SONG - For The First Time In Forever | ANIMATIC | Frozen cover by Lydia the Bard 

Who should I turn into a Villain next??… STREAM THIS SONG HERE - distrokid.com/hyperfollow/lydiathebard/annas-villain-song

Hot take: Turning Anna into a villain is a lot easier than turning Elsa into a villain, all we need to do is to make her a bit jealous of Elsa's powers.

I like to think of this as less of Anna actually "changing" to be evil, but because her heart was frozen, it made her "cold-hearted"

A major detail I like is the contrast between Anna's ice powers and Elsa's. Elsa is all snow and crystalline ice, the beauty of winter. Meanwhile Anna is straight up frost and jagged, frigid ice. There's nothing nice about it, just the inexorable might of the primal cold which leeches the life and heat from all things.

I love the hint of light blue/white at the bottom of her eyes. It makes it look like she has tears she wants to shed but can’t because they’re frozen

Something that was interesting to me was that Elsa was either too scared or still loved Anna too much to harm her. But Anna was just pushed too far to see or care anymore. A true villian and definitely one of Lydia and the team's best works. Thanks so much!

Believe it or not, this is how the ’Frozen Heart’ spell effected the individual in the original Hans Christian Andersen story. Freezing the victims from the inside out starting with their emotions and inhibitions before ending with their bodies.

I love how Anna's ice is all spiked and sharp, while Elsa's is flowy and soft, contrasting the emotional state of each sister

I thought this was the route Disney WAS going to go when I saw Frozen. Anna said " I'm Fine!" when she was struck by Elsa's ice power and I thought it was her heart freezing and turning her into a villian. Thanks for singing the head canon.

I love the fact that instead of coming up with a completly new song for the villain princesses, you twist their original song into a villain one. It feels as if everything has come full circle and it's really cool

I don't know why but Anna looks more and more like the snow queen from the books than Elsa ever was in this masterpiece.

The line “I just wanted a friend!” Is animated and sung so chillingly. I love it!!

I love how in this AU, Anna slowly becomes the Snow Queen we're familiar with from the original Hans Christian Anderson novel. I mean, Frozen is based off of the novel and Elsa is clearly mean to represent the villain from the original novel, but Elsa is faf more timid and shy compared to her. But here, Anna becomes much more similar to the Snow Queen than Elsa is.

Quite a powerful and tragic song of two sisters. The loss of their parents combined with the fear, paranoia, and loneliness set into them broke them further apart over time, unable to speak clearly with one another until it was too late. True love isn't going to be able to save Anna this time, as she's fully rejected it in favor of finally pushing herself first, while Elsa seems like she can't even bother trying to put up a fight, whether out of guilt or being unable to harm her sister purposely. And now they're both left frozen in different ways.

I love how Anna's ice powers are sharp and pointed, like fragmented glass, whereas Elsa's ice is smooth and pure. It shows how they relate to their powers, while reflecting on their motivations. 2k likes (real) (not fake) (gone wrong) (emotional) (3am)

"I've run out of chances, and you've run out of time." Is such a hard line

I really love how you changed Anna’s colours to show how quick her heart freezes. At the start of the song she was an orange colour. And when she became evil she turned purple. And when heart froze over completely she turned an icy blue colour. I also love how her nails got sharper and sharper as she used her powers. Nails that are definitely fit for a villain.

I don’t know if it’s just me but I love the changes of Anna’s colors over the course of the song. She starts out as a pale red, when her heart completely freezes over she becomes a pale purple (a mix of red and blue), and when her transformation is complete she becomes the same icy shade of blue that Elsa is colored in.

Love the concept of Anna slowly turning into the Snow Queen Disney originally planned but scrapped because of Elsa's 'Let it Go' song. It's just so interesting to see the slow physical change throughout this song as Anna goes from the girl we know to a true ice queen with pale skin, long nails and snow white hair.

I just found these and... I'm in complete awe. Makes you really realize how easy it would've been for the heros to turn villains if they gave into the neglect and pressure of their roles and just threw their moral compass to the wind

I love this ending so much! The spell hitting Anna’s heart woke up her powers, froze her heart cold, and turned her into the Snow Queen of Hans Christian Andersen’s story

One of the scariest things about the metaphysical ramifications of her not only frozen, but broken heart is that she can't die now. She's an immortal ice queen that can never die and as she grows to further understand her power, even things like removing limbs won't slow her down because she'll just break down and come back together in a snow flurry or ice storm vortex. She won't be limited by a human body, she'll be a living element of cold.

I LOVE the detail of Anna’s hair starting off with white streaks, which slowly become more prominent until it’s become as white as her frozen heart. Any traces of her usual warmth and joy are completely gone by the song’s end, completing her descent into villainy.

I luv how Anna is a deeper shade of purple blue, like frigid ice. But Elsa's is more warmer like Winter. And these lyrics are really heartbreaken. And I don't even have to mention this art masterpiece, this is really something

I like this form of the story! It makes a lot of sense to me and I also like that around 1:10, Anna uses her new powers outside but imitates some of Elsa’s poses. It’s like they reacted to the freedom and welcoming of ice in the same way! In the end, they were always sisters. ❤

I love the touch that while Elsa _could_ have tried to stop the new villainous Anna, she was either too scared of what Anna became or still cared to where she couldn't bring herself to harm her sister, not after what happened last time. It shows that she still cares. Anna just no longer cares about Elsa herself.

I love the detail of Elsa's magic being smooth and refined while Anna's is sharp and jaged. It really shows their different mentalities!

Love this song. The scary part is that i actually can see this happen in an alternate universe. I mean Anna tried so much to get her beloved sister back and every time she got the door shot in her face without explanation. Eventually someone would just crack. In Anna's mind, nothing did happen. She didn;t get hurt by Elsa. So her sister just shot her out without a reason. Hated her without a reason. Even when there parents died, the moment they needed each other the most, she was still shot out without a reason. Anna tried to be there for Elsa, but on one was there for Anna. Anna is one of the sweetest princesses of the Disney universe, but that makes her the most scary at the same time. If she sould crack, what would happen?

Is it bad that I prefer this than what we got? Because this song is beautiful and would have loved to see Anna as the villain. This would have me in tears if this was canon. Heck it made me feel emotional watching this 😭😭

Just imagine if that hit to anna's heart from elsa actually just removed any ounce of love and warmth anna had and left her cold hearted (metaphorically and literally) Honestly love seeing characters who had all right to become villians actually snap.Mirabel and Anna are characters that honestly had the most right to be angry or hold resentment.✨

I love how natural these villian twists are. Because from Anna’s perspective she didn’t really think Elsa loved her. She had to reason to. So it makes sense she could choose this route. Edit: thanks for the likes!

The Watcher: In their original story, despite all Elsa had done, Anna never gave up on her sister and fought with all she had to save her and mend their family. But in another universe, Anna harbored far more resentment towards Elsa, resulting in the eventual manifestation of her own dormant abilities, leading to a much less happy ending than the one you know.

I love the idea of turning anna into the snow queen instead, and bringing a whole new meaning to the movies title by doing so.

Anna making Elsa bow to her was genuinely something I wasn’t expecting. Props to sending shivers down my spine!

I think I like villain Anna better. The song is catchy and shows just how much pain she's gone through. Also she looks absolutely gorgeous with her hair just flowing down when it's white.

The idea of Elsa shutting herself in hurting both sisters, and only Elsa is able to take it because she believes it's for the greater good, while it becomes unbearable for Anna, with it all culminating in her snapping when Elsa finally comes out only to run away, is really tragic.

I love how ontop of her looking like a literal MONSTER at the end, her magic and her sister's magic are a bit different, let me explain. Her magic is spikey, more dangerous, while Elsa's magic is smooth, more like fresh snow on a winter day than a literal ice spear

Imagine a double twist villain like this? I’m not saying it would be good if the original film had done that, but if Hans had shown his villainy openly to the audience but not Anna and then this was the twist at the end? That would’ve been so shocking. And Anna really feels like a more direct adaptation of The Snow Queen here than Elsa ever did.

I did not expect "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman" to suddenly kick in. I had goosebumps from start to finish. As someone who really thought Anna was gonna turn out to have ice powers just like Elsa, this is absolutely amazing. The small bits of animation are just so perfect. Absolutely incredible.

This is a really great song. What i found really interesting is that as the song progresses, you can see the change in color of Anna going from warm red , then light lavender, lastly to icy blue, showing the humanity leaving her as she becomes cold and ruthless, great touch.

This is the big turn that Frozen needs.

Quite honestly, this was one of the most dramatic changes. The sweetest and kindest character in all of Disney turning on her own sister and ACTUALLY finishing her off? BRILLIANT!

Honestly Anna having a villain role would suit her so much as she lost her parents and her sister she used to love, and grew up all alone and lonely. Then there was also that prince or whatever that "loved" her but left her dying.

These are going on my Villian playlist, they make me bop and cry all at once! Man that "All I wanted was a friend" line 😭😭

So instead of fighting the ice, she embraced its coldness................Damn The hurt in Elsa's eyes got me. She was looking if any of her sister's soul was still in there.

"For the first time in forever..." "I'm not looking for your love..." That literally gave me chills.

It would be great to have a villain song for Anna from the sequel around The Next Right Thing. Where this time Anna truly has lost absolutely everyone she loved, found out the truth about her parents, and is now completely alone with the only thing left is to return home and accept her new role as queen. Basically her traumatic, miserable life finally breaking her into becoming an evil queen. Anna’s whole story has such great villain potential.

Was she gifted with the power or cursed with it? Elsa: Gifted Anna: Cursed

0:19 anna: * Freezes Hans Anna: where’s Elsa? Hans:……. Anna: oh

Most Frozen Villain AUs have Elsa as the villain; I love this different take with Anna. It makes sense that Anna could become a villain, and she's also terrifying with ice powers. Another great Villain AU song, complete with animatics. Great work!

Now I _really_ wish we got a Frozen where one of the sisters was actually allowed to be a villain. This is such a cool concept.

As we saw in Frozen 2, once Elsa’s dies, anything that was created by her powers dies with her🤔 So would that have reversed Anna’s frozen heart? Would Anna then be back to normal and have the sudden realization of what she’d done?🤔

"There's 1 thing that always held me back,and that one thing was YOU" ABSOLUTELY 👏SPINE CHILLING!! honestly all of it is flawless

A very interesting fact is that Elsa could have beaten Anna, because she is the ice element itself, which is shown in Frozen 2. It shows how much Elsa cares about Anna to the point that she doesn't use all the power she has to keep from hurting her. The art was absolutely awesome and lyrics too, your voice is very pretty!

One detail I love is how Elsa stood up at 3:40 showing that she could break out of Anna’s ice handcuffs but just didn’t try to resist her which proves that even though Anna is too far gone she still loves her sister.

What I rlly loved was that when ever Anna walked the floor turns to ice and that was js such a cool affect!

i love how she says i just wanted a friend and their is so much pian in her voice i feel like that when the last of her emotion died

I love that their powers are two different veiws on winter. Elsa is the soft snow fall, the cozy, calm feeling of winter. anna is the opposite, shes the dangerous side, the icicles, the blistering cold, everything bad and scary

So Anna becomes the real Snow Queen, which Frozen was inspired from. Kinda cute how Elsa was to sympathetic to be a real villain, so they changed the story and now Anna is just to emotionally broken to stay the hero. This song and concept story is so amazing ❤

A bit of fitting irony that at the end Elsa is frozen in the exact same position Anna was in the original film, but this time in completely different situation. I love your disney princess becoming a villain songs and they actually seem very believable if some crucial events changed. What would be an awesome story to try is if in these villain stories the turn to evil is kind of a prologue and a main character learns through the story of these villains and it changes their perception of who the villain is. Like if in this story, 10 years pass and a main character goes on a journey to stop Anna who has become the Snow Queen, having heard one-sided stories of the evil villainess since they were young. But in the journey to stop the Snow Queen, they learn of the true story, of how Anna becomes the Snow Queen. It might be an interesting concept to explore in a story like this, or any of the villainess songs you have put out so far. I imagine Mirabel from Encanto could be another character this concept could apply to. But that is just my musings on an idea.

I love how Anna’s anger, betrayal and all of her other emotions made her ice powers jagged ice frost and there so much emotion that the ice practically exploded from her

If Frozen had been a larger universe (a book series maybe?), there are so many reasons this would have been perfect. It would have added an entirely different meaning to "Frozen Heart," and could have been made to be synonymous with "Heartless." This would also add SO much depth to Elsa, who would likely start out being framed as a misunderstood antagonist (similar to the beginning of the movie) but then ultimately transforming into a determined antihero out of guilt from creating in Anna the villain that Elsa would have always believed herself to be. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

2:54 'Do you wanna build a snowman?' that gave me chills, you can really feel all things Ana has been represing, the pain, the sadness, the anger... The way this resembles so much the original tale, a frozen heart turning a kind soul into someone cold, unforgiving and incapable of love, just there isn't loving warm tears that can heal them this time around. I honestly think this may be my favorite of your villian princesses, im definetly going to be heareing it a thounsand more times.

0:33 "Finally IM nocking down the gates" Really shows she doesn't care for anyone but herself and the whole village.

I love this! What really gets to me is that in the movie no one cares about how being shut indoors affects Anna.

I love how the Elsa villain song is how she loved her sister so much she captured her in ice, but Anna's is how she holds a grudge against her sister all these years. All villain songs are amazing and this is one of my personal favorites!

I love how this isn't just dark and brooding, it's also got quite a Poppy feel to it, so it's more the song of a true villain, someone who knows exactly how evil they're being and revels in it.

This song hit me personally SO hard. I really feel Anna's emotions and reactions so intensely here from my own poor experience with my older sister. Things have gotten slightly better between us but I still don't feel ready to accept her 'being ready to be a sister' to me after so many years of being outright ignored. I understand that my sister was wrapped up in her own world and issues - a lot of which she took out on me in a time of my life when I didn't understand what I may have done to upset her. The part at 1:35 hit me like a damn freight train realizing I'm still not ready to have any kind of relationship with her and I have no idea when I will be ready or how I will know when I'll be ready. Oftentimes I think I'm fine and then I'll hear lines like this which tear open old wounds with memories I can't even remember but the emotions are still so raw that it completely rips away the facade I spend months if not years convincing myself with that I'm fine and no longer hurting. I have no idea what eventually triggered my sister to come to me and say she wanted to have a sister relationship. The indescribable indignation, the burning resentment, and the outright rage I felt when hearing that killed me because I knew I was not ready to do anything close to forgive her for so many years of being trapped in the same house as her growing up, feeling that oppressive presence living in the room next to me, having no idea what I had done to have deserved that kind of treatment. It's been almost 10 years now since she's admitted that she wants a better sister relationship. How can I give her something that I have never felt in my life towards her? If I don't feel better by now, 10 years later after she left the house, when in the world is this feeling ever going to die down enough for me to get over it? I feel so silly writing this all here but I'm glad there's at least some space where I'm able to vent. I also do realize at these moments that I do need therapy. Damn lol XD Very good song, 10/10 love it

I love how the old Anna only wanted a friend, and when she finally gets one, the new Anna freezes him solid. Really driving in how much she changed.

"Do you want to build a snowman?" Never thought such a childish line would give me chills. Really shows how much Anna's loneliness has made her lose her innocence and turn her into the villain she is now.

Can we talk about how pretty Anna is? Even if she is now a villain, she is so pretty with her hair down. The vocals and pitch were very good too! I loved how the song went.

“I just wanted a friend!!!” Is sooo relatable right now😭😭😭 I’m in a strained relationship with my best friend and she doesn’t want to be my “best” friend, I thought our relationship wasn’t strained but she said it is still.

This is the single greatest piece of Frozen art I have ever witnessed. I would give anything to have the movie rewritten this way. What an incredible story, beautifully drawn, and your voice tells the pain and anger of Anna’s dark character perfectly! Well done.

What strikes me is how the longer the confrontation goes on the less Anna seems angry and rather just.. Hurting. Her magic is still jagged and broken but her face is.. Resigned. A hollow acceptance that this is the end.

Lyrics Won't live in your Shadow any more Forever shot behind these doors Imprisoned as you rule and you dictate Pandering to you every call Pointlessly talking to the walls Finally in knowking down the gates The story gonna change and go my way For the first time in forever I'm getting what I really want For the first time in forever I'll have my say and you can watch I'm stronger now than ever And it's time I take my place For the first time in forever Nothing's in my way Oh nothing's in my way Did you think I'd just keep taking it? Letting you my crush my self worth bit by bit Well now you'll learn just who you're messing with The anna you knew is dead and gone Finally done being your pawn Which begs the question, do I let you live Get down and bow it's coronation day For the first time in forever I'm not looking for your love For the first time in forever I'm I free to rise above I don't care for you approval We have nothing more to say For the first time in forever Nothing's in my... Do you wanna build a snowman I've lost count of all the times I tried getting you to talk to me The oppen up and see I was your and you where mine I reached out when you were hurting United to the end You froze me out completely I just wanted a friend For the first time in forever I can see clearly what to do There's one thing that always held me back And that one thing was you Now you've had your last tomorrow Cos your time is up today For the first time in forever Nothing's in my way Nothing's in my way

Oh Hans Surely you didn't think I bought your whole act? I should be thanking you really You were the last push I needed Interesting Now where is Elsa? Won't live in your shadow anymore Forever shut behind these doors Imprisoned as you rule and you dictate Pandering to your every call Pointlessly talking to the walk Finally I'm knocking down the gates This really isn't anything personal I just can't have you getting in my way The story's gonna change and go my way For the first time in forever I'm getting what I really want For the first time in forever I'll have my say and you can watch I'm stronger now than ever And it's time I take my place For the first time in forever Nothing's in my way Oh nothing's in my way Did you think I'd just keep taking it? Letting you crush my self-worth bit by bit Well now you'll just learn who you're messing with The Anna you knew is dead and gone Finally done being your pawn Which begs the question Do I let you live? Oh don't look so surprised Surely you can't have seen this going any other way Get down and bow It's coronation day For the first time in forever I'm not looking for your love For the first time in forever I am free to rise above I don't care for your approval We have nothing more to say For the first time in forever Nothing's in my None of this had to happen, Elsa We could have been sisters But I've run out of chances And you have run out of time Do you wanna build a snowman? I've lost count of all the times I tried getting you to talk to me To open up and see I was yours and you were mine I reached out when you were hurting United to the end You froze me out completely I just wanted a friend For the first time in forever I can see clearly what to do There's one thing that always held me back And that one thing was you Now you've had your last tomorrow 'Cause your time is up today For the first time in forever Nothing's in my way Nothing's in my way I'm sorry I couldn't read it fast enough in the video so I wrote it here🙏

I love how Anna’s skin turned purple

The scene at 2:39 really gave me goosebumps cause it shows how much Elsa was afraid of Anna in that moment. Props to the animators for making it so smooth and the vocals were amazing.

As someone who's studied hundreds of antagonist's since just mid twenty-sixteen, it's rare a thing that a fan-remake of a character inspires me anymore. This was incredible, please never forget that you're an artist dear.

This is actually a pretty cool nod to the original snow Queen story. The ice shards turned people heartless and cold instead of killing them

the change from "For the first time in forever" to the "Do you wanna build a snowman" is amazing

I love the shot at 3:45 - it really gives off the impression of Elsa seeing just how far Ana has fallen, just how much she is broken and is no longer the person she was, and that there is nothing that can be done to fix it. Amazing song and video!

I see this as a perfect lead up to Elsa's own villain song. Heartbroken at seeing her sister's suffering and the corruption she's gone through but knowing she has to stop her from hurting anyone else and to try and reverse the damage done, Elsa confronts Anna. She hopes she can try and make her see some sense...bring back that sweet, innocent sister she loved. But Anna is too far gone. Elsa is forced to fight her sister. Though Anna's rage makes her stronger and despite Elsa's own inability to control her power, Elsa still has more experience using their shared ice power. Unfortunately it's because of her lack of control that Elsa ends up accidentally killing Anna. As a result Elsa is overwhelmed with despair...she's killed her only remaining family...she couldnt save her sister. To make matters worse...despite Anna's death, her power isnt reversed. Everyone remains frozen. So Elsa remains in Arendelle, her grief turning to madness A queen of ice in her frozen kingdom...watching over her frozen subjects...haunted by the calls of the doomed princess

The lines:"I reached out when you were hurting, United to the end, you froze me out completely, I just wanted a friend"is so damn powerful and so sad at the same time and if you add the line "thought we were" And instead of froze we add "closed" It makes "I reached out when you were hurting, thought we were United to the end, you closed me out completely, I just wanted a friend!! " Fits so damn well for a ex-best friend who has been talking shit about you behind your back and closed you out of their life like you were nothing to them but you loved them as a friend all their life. Lydia love your works they are soo good this one is especially my favorite it gives me chills whenever I listen to it 😬

Hi, I'm obsessed with this. Your voice is gorgeous, the arrangement is *chef's kiss*, and it's such a high-quality animatic, holy crap. Also not to be cynical but... why does every single AU or alteration the internet makes to this story automatically make it 10x more interesting?

The villain pacing around the hero, taunting them while they're incapacitated is such a fantastic trope. Its peak arrogance and I love it! "Get down and bow, its Coronation Day!" Is also a fire line.

Anna has to be the most terrifying villain ever. This is a masterpiece. The storyline makes so much sense, I could totally see it going this way. I never thought about how Elsa mistreated anna like that. The animation was so detailed. My favorite part, though, had to be the AMAZING vocals at 3:33. That is so professional and beautiful. You impress me so much!

Okay but this villain song also would be SO incredible in the prophecy storyline that was originally part of Frozen. Everyone thought the prophecy was about Elsa, but it turns out to be Anna.

aw man that would have been such an insane plot twist if it turned out the snow queen was actually anna the whole time. the hyped up the whole frozen heart thing and i thought on first watch she was going to become more and more cold and callased. damn imagine ana just turned evil.

I love the way Anna's voice has a sort of "Colder pitch" If you get what I mean. Whenever she sings the line, "For the first time in forever" I get goosebumps with the way she twists the sound.

What’s even more interesting is that this was the point of the movie when Elsa was debatably at her weakest. She’s an individual that is so ruled by her fears stemming from the traumatic incident of having hurt her sister with her powers. She’s already almost completely convinced that she sort of monster that will hurt everybody around her. And this was the point of the movie where she’s accidentally hurt Anna again with her powers, is racked with guilt, and Hans had further preyed on that when imprisoning her. The storm became worse, and she had nearly no control whatsoever. An evil Anna with powers confronting her at this moment was never going to end any other way. Elsa is so powerful as an individual. But similarly to how Anna felt Elsa chipped away at her self worth, Elsa has nearly no self-worth thanks to years of fear building from the impression her parents left on her after accidentally icing baby Anna. This was the moment where all her worst insecurities was thrown in her face by the one person she was afraid of hurting the most, the one she DID hurt the most. All her fears validated, though not quite in the way she thought it would. She would’ve never hurt Anna, so she folded like a wet paper bag.

That was fantastic! I love the idea of Anna just snapping after being shut out for so long. She's obviously gone way too far, but a part of me can't help but root for her for standing up for herself instead of just trying to please someone who was ignoring her. Like, that hits so hard because Anna's absolutely right about the fact that Elsa treated Anna horribly by pushing her away ever since their parents died which was when Anna needed a friend most. That is literally the situation in the actual movie. She hasn't turned evil because she's a bad person but because she was pushed to the point of snapping by her own sister who should've been there for her. That's tragic.

I like that instead of freezing, she's literally cold-hearted. A really interesting take on the concept

TLDR: All she wanted was a friend, instead she was isolated and had her heart shatter after being frozen by the one person who was once her only friend. I love the addition of "Do you wanna build a snowman" It both adds an incredibly personal touch and helps drive in the main message of the song. That being that Anna gave Elsa year's worth of chances to let her in. To be sisters. So it makes sense that as the magic freezes her heart, her warmth, it magnifies the anger and fear and all of the other negative emotions that come from over a decade of isolation. All she ever wanted was a friend and her sister, her last remaining family member, denied that from her for years. It makes sense that a part of Anna would grow bitter over the years, especially since she doesn't know the full context of why Elsa froze her out. She only knows bits and pieces and the last straw for Anna would've been when Elsa froze her heart, even if she didn't know that yet. It's such a perfect villain origin story, where she was literally turned into the monster she is now by her family. Her parents for starting the isolation and kept Anna, probably without good reason, from her best friend. Then Elsa quite literally finished the monstrous transformation by literally freezing Anna's heart to the point of shattering. And, aside from killing all those people lol, you can't really blame Anna for becoming a villain as in this story Anna didn't have much other choice, like her heart was literally frozen which probably destroyed any last warmth and kindness that Anna clung to.

1:59 Elsa’s face after Anna asks more herself than Elsa if she should let Elsa live. The fear and heartbreak as she realizes that it wasn’t her ice that froze Anna’s heart. That she killed her sister in a way more metaphorical than physical. 2:39 I think this is moment Elsa truly realized that Anna, as she’d known her, couldn’t be saved. That her sister was gone for good, replaced by a manifestation of the hurt she’d suffered. 3:21 this is when I realized the alterations to Ann’s design weren’t just stylistic, but that she was actually transforming into a creature of ice and wind. 3:52 I’m pretty sure that this is when the final realization that Anna is stronger, and that she can’t win hits Elsa. This is the moment that she knows how this fight is going to end but has to at least try, for the sake of her subjects.

While I discovered this reinterpretation of "For The First Time In Forever" very recently, I "fell in love" with it. 😊😍 I love the two Frozen movies because of the characters and of their journeys in both movies, notably with the emotional dimension tied to the two main characters (in both of whom I identify myself). I have watched almost all your Villain princesses covers and this one is my most favourite one. Not only because of the fact it is tied to one of my favourite Disney movies and characters, but also because of the setting, the music and the emotion within. What I particularly love in this reinterpretation like in the Merida's villain song is the tragic undertone of the song with how Anna is broken, shattered within (symbolized by this beautiful picture of her heart shattered in thousands of pieces). I agree with many comments on the references and the animation and tone of the song. My most favorite part is when Anna seems to calm down a bit to express the fact that the bridge has burnt between Elsa and Anna because Elsa didn't listen to Anna's calls in the past or her pleas. It highlights the strength of the AU set for this song and tied to the themes within the original movie : Anna suffers as much of isolation as Elsa and the only person she would turn to was unavalaible and "cold". This song not only shows the potential behind those narrative elements of "Frozen", but also the fact that it is something deeply human in spite of the magical dimension. Another thing I love was the eye color of Anna as it reminds me (another fandom) of the White Walkers. It was as if Anna was a Night Queen full of hatred and destruction. And it is a beautiful and strong way to show the difference between Elsa and Anna in this song in regards of their magical powers with the other details (the ice claws of Anna, the way their ice blast work...). I love how the emotions of both Elsa and Anna are depicted : Elsa is shocked and considering the context, even more guilty than ever of what she has done. By dint of watching and hearing this video (but also reaction videos on it), it came to my mind the frame of what could be a one-shot fanfic depicting the setting of the song from Elsa's perspective (and here a potential "synopsis") : Elsa is fleeing from the dungeons of her castle, trying to be as far away from her kingdom to prevent even more damage. But as she was moving across the frozen fjord, the storm around seemingly stops. Puzzled, the queen wondered how it was possible and yet she felt colder than ever. Suddenly, she hears someone approaching. Turning around, she is stunned by the sight of Anna that was turning cold, her eyes displaying a bright icy blue. This view reminded Elsa the hurt she had inflicted on her sister. But what shocked her even more was the cold and angered glance her sister was now sending her. Anna calls her out, accusing her of wanting to destroy her bit by bit before claiming that the Anna she knew was dead and gone and that all remains was should Elsa be left alive. Elsa looks horrified and surprised, unable to recognize in this cold creature the lively sister, but also by the fact that now she has ice powers as her. A blast sent Elsa on her knees. Mesmerized and appalled, unable to react on the moment, she saw "Anna" creating a heart that suddenly shattered into pieces as her sister told her that she won't need her love anymore. This phrase hurt Elsa as she knew how much Anna's love for her was strong. "Anna" suddenly rose on a icy top before trapping Elsa's arms in ice. Powerless, Elsa looked afraid in Anna's hateful eyes. And suddenly, her sister told her in a calmer voice that they could have been sister, but that was now too late for both of them. Hearing it and then Anna saying in a low and cold tone the question that used to be their motto for children games and then her sister's call to bring her to open herself made shiver Elsa as it underlined how much her sister was broken and shattered. The failed queen heard the young woman before her expressing how much all she wanted was to be by her side, to help her but only knew rejection. As she was talking, Anna was totally turning icy and scarier while she was expressing her pain and anger in a stronger way. Sensing it was not her sister anymore, Elsa freed herself and faced the figure that replaced Anna, full of hate and pain. If she wants to save herself and to save Arendelle, she has to defeat the being before her. Elsa sends a blast, but in her heart, she couldn't allow herself to hurt her opponent. Her heart was full of guilt and remorse, acknowledging all the accusations her "sister" told her about the abandonment she had inflicted her. How did they come to that ? All she wanted was to protect Anna and to control her powers and should it fail, leaving everyone to protect them and protect herself from their fear. And yet, all her endeavors failed: not only she was unable to control her magic, but she has frozen her kingdom and managed to turn her dear sister in a monster so unrecognizable. Her lack of determination made her fail in her blast, allowing "Anna" to send a violent blast in return. Scared, Elsa tried to shield herself, but it was too late. Ice enter her heart like a canonball and the queen of Arendelle was no more, only a ice statue trapped for eternity in a frozen land and punished for her failures...

i'm crying after i heard this, it made me realize how much Anna suffered and i also want to give her a hug so badly, love the change in colors as the story progresses and the vocals are great, thanks for this, now i want to see one of Rapunzel since she was one of my favorite princesses

I love when Anna talks to Elsa at 1:56-2:01 saying...surely you couldn't have seen this going any other way. It's really ironic and the lyrics and voices even the animations are incredible!

Wow. I love it so much. From the lyrics to the animation but what really stood out was the difference in their ice--Anna's ice looks more sinister, monstrous with the consistent sharpness in it as if really symbolizing the monster she became and her skin becoming a glass-like texture after her heart was reached by the ice and shattered it. The way you approach this part of Anna, is very lovely. She would really make an interesting villain with a relatable backstory why she became one. I felt that when she's saying she ran out of chances and like all the love she has for Elsa is gone.

Oof this one hit harder than the rest. Maybe because Anna was always the summer to Elsa's winter or because this wasn't really a natural personality shift but a result of a frozen heart. But if it wasn't for being a Disney Franchise I could totally see this Anna being the perfect Snow Queen Edit: thinking about it, this fulfilled the Troll Elder's prophecy well. Fear will be your enemy. And her fear FOR Anna is what led to Anna becoming her enemy
