In recent years, the presence of easter eggs in movies has become increasingly common, and much loved by the public. Despite gaining more popularity now, this is a practice that studios have been doing for many years — and Disney can be considered one of the biggest experts when it comes to references in their productions.
In practically all the films made by Casa do Mickey, we can find references to other features of the company, whether they are clear or hidden, as is what happens in “Frozen: Uma Aventura Congelante”, which has an easter egg of another Disney princess that almost no one noticed.
classic transformation
In the book “Disney Princess: Beyond the Tiara”, released last year, the author Emily Zemler revealed an easter egg present in the scene of “Let It Go”, one of the highlights of the film, which references another classic Disney sequence: Cinderella’s transformation.
The scene takes place after Elsa reveals her powers to the entire kingdom, and flees to the mountains, where she builds a grandiose ice castle, and transforms the clothes she was wearing into a new dress, as in Cinderella, who has her clothes torn apart. transformed into a beautiful dress by the Fairy Godmother.
Becky Bresee, animator of “Frozen”, states in the book that she used the Cinderella scene as inspiration for Elsa’s transformation. “For years I watched Cinderella’s transformation over and over again and I knew how beautiful it was,” she commented.
However, although both sequences depict the transformation of dresses through magic, they have one big difference: the way it all happened.
main difference
In Cinderella, the princess’s clothes are transformed by the Fairy Godmother, and ends up disappearing after the stroke of midnight, returning to being an old dress full of tears. Meanwhile, Elsa is responsible for creating her own dress, which remains with her throughout the film.
According to the ScreenRant portal, this act presents a major change made by Disney in relation to the princesses over the years, giving more autonomy to the characters. In the old days, it was common for princesses to depend on other names in the plot for something to be accomplished, as is the case with Cinderella, who managed to become something she would like to be just for a few hours with the help of the Fairy Godmother.
Nowadays, they are portrayed in a more independent and empowered way, as is the case with Elsa, who transformed her own dress without having to change who she is and for as long as she wanted.
