I'm a big fan of the Frozen franchise, so I have been hoping that there would be a third Frozen film. The third Frozen film came out towards the end of 2019, so I've been waiting for a third Frozen film to be announced ever since then. After over three years of waiting, a third film has been announced. I'm very excited about that. In fact, there's very few, if any, upcoming films that I'm more excited about than Frozen 3.
Here's what I don't want to happen in Frozen 3:
Olaf hogging the spotlight
Since I'm such a big Frozen fan, it might come as a surprise that I don't really like Olaf. For me, he feels like a somewhat unnecessary form of comedy relief. I have little doubt that he'll be in Frozen 3. I just hope that he's sparingly used. If he has a few scenes, that could be fine. However, I don't want there to be a bunch of irrelevant scenes that are thrown in just to give Olaf something to do.
Elsa getting a male love interest
After two films where there wasn't a single hint that Elsa had any romantic interest in men, giving Elsa a boyfriend would feel forced. If the boyfriend ends up being a compelling, likable character that has good chemistry with Elsa, it could work. However, I would rather not have it happen.
What I want to happen in Frozen 3:
More character development for Elsa
My favorite aspect of Frozen 2 was seeing Elsa grow so much as a character. It was an inspirational, beautiful thing that I can't get enough of. Now that Elsa is the protector of Enchanted Forest, she has a new home and a new job. That leaves lots of room for further development for Elsa.
The Duke of Weselton and Prince Hans coming back
Prince Hans was such an important character in the first film that his absence in the second film felt a bit odd. As for the Duke of Weselton, he's so entertaining and interesting that I desperately want to see more of him. Seeing Hans and the Duke of Weselton come back for revenge or redemption would be awesome.
More flashbacks with Elsa and Anna's parents
The second film did an excellent job at making King Agnarr and Queen Iduna more developed, interesting characters. Their backstory is so important to the franchise that I think there's more left about them to explore. Seeing flashbacks of their dates and wedding could be very touching.
More scenes between Elsa and Honeymaren
Elsa and Honeymaren's quick interactions in the second film were enough to inspire a big fandom that loved to ship the two characters. As someone who has written dozens of stories about lesbian romance, I can't begin to express how badly I want to see Elsa and Honeymaren become a couple. If Disney was brave enough to make that happen, I would have a new favorite Disney film.
The plot I want
In the past, I wrote an article about what I would want Frozen 3 to be about, so here's a summary:
As Elsa starts to adjust to her new life in the Enchanted Forest, she starts spending more time with Honeymaren. Elsa starts having feelings for Honeymaren that she's never had for anybody else. The other people in the Enchanted Forest quickly pick up on Elsa and Honeymaren's feelings for each other, so they encourage Elsa and Honeymaren to be honest about how they feel. Elsa's situation becomes more difficult when the Duke of Weselton, who is accompanied by his bodyguards and Prince Hans, comes to the Enchanted Forest. The Duke of Weselton wants to get rid of the Enchanted Forest, because of his hatred for magic. It's up to Elsa, along with some help from Anna and her friends, to save the Enchanted Forest from their old enemies.
