For instance, let's consider the similarities between Elsa and Jack. Both have something inside them that is a danger to their loved ones. And when given a position of power--be it queen of Arendelle or caretaker of a remote mountain resort--they lose control. Also, both tend to favor a place of solitude high in the mountains.
The Danny to Elsa's Jack would be her little sister Anna. Like poor tormented Danny Torrance, Anna is left too often to her own devices in a high ceilinged and posh building. And like Danny, she's locked out of a room that holds a terrible secret. But that's not all. While Jack dislocated Danny's shoulder in a moment of out of control (drunken) rage, Elsa nearly killed Anna twice. As Danny's mother might say, "Well, it's just one of those things. You know...purely an accident"
Olaf = Wendy Torrance - basically a goofy character who will try to protect Danny/Anna.
Kristoff, Anna's protector who has a special awareness of all the weirdness hitting Arendelle thanks to his familiarity with the trolls. Of course,
The Shining has Dick Hallorann, who knows about Danny's titular supernatural power. And like Kristoff, he dashes to the rescue when the endearing hero needs it. Which makes Hans the Grady of
Frozen. One was a dapper man who murdered his family while looking over The Overlook before the doomed Jack. The other is a dapper man who looks to kill the Arendelle royal family toward his own ends.
Then of course these scenes ...
boo ya - same fucking movie (not my theory i stole it ... but I like it alot)
