Welcome to 2021! It's cold, it's been a hell of a journey, and sometimes it feels like we're being pelted by shattered glass. What story could've possibly fit the bill so perfectly?
Disney really missed an opportunity when they decided Frozen was going to have exactly nothing in common with the original story. Honestly that kind of analysis could be worth a video all on its own…
It's myth-y enough I'm still gonna put it in the same playlist, but it would've felt disingenuous calling it a myth, soooooo

Fables and Folktales: The Snow Queen
6 598 Դիտումներ 662հզր
Native American mythology is super underrated it’s like an anime But I also really like this one it’s like that new dragon Disney movie but better
The snow queen kidnapping Kay reminds me of the Witch from Narnia
I love red's songs. They are awesome
THERE IS A MOVIE THAT IS JUST THE DAMN EXACT SAME AS THE WAY YOU DESCRIBED!!! ITS UNDERATTED BUT ITS REALLY WELL DONE
When I was little, I watched a live action movie about the Snow queen and thought it was great and got very dissapointed by Frozen. However, I didn't know the original story was so different from the live action movie. Still, I would highly recommend the movie to people. :) And I love the original story too.
Love this new series...more please❣
Suddenly I get where the inspiration for _The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe_ came from.
Imagine having someone as devoted to you as Gerda, couldn’t be me... 😭😭couldn’t be me 😭😭
I want to see a live action version of Frozen with Elsa played by the Rock
This story is written by the same dude who once cried on the lawn of Charles Dickens for like, 2 days (or something, not sure on the length) after receiving a single bad review, which was more like constructive criticism
And Charles Dickens thinking "What did I do to deserve this?! 😠"
Loved the moral message at the end
So anyway this is my all-time favorite fairy tale from when I was young and hearing it again has been so fun. also the old lady buried the roses so Gerda wouldn't see them. It was the old lady's hat that set her off. I liked it mostly because of how l o n g it took. most fairy tales didn't have the aspect of time very relevant, and the fact that it took all their teenage years to save her friend made me happy.
This feels like narnia with less plot and characters
Playing Red at half-speed makes her sound drunk and it's hilarious
Wow I had no idea Frozen is pretty much NOTHING like the original tale. Damn 😂
@Lionstar16 yeah, good point 😂 It just feels like Frozen is even LESS like the original than the other Disney movies, and that's saying something. Lol
To be fair, many Disney films take A LOT of liberties with the original source material - for example, in the original Little Mermaid story, she fails to win the Prince's love and instead turns into sea foam
Ok but he solved the eternity puzzle. So is he gonna become king of the world or?
That puberty part of them not knowing they got older because of being busy is what I call, "early puberty"
"Its like Santa. But backwards. And a straight up crime." Me: Santa breaks into our houses and steals our cookies, your point?
This actually ended pretty good for being a Hans Christian Andersen story
"Kay decides that being kidnapped is pretty cool, actually!"
I love that demon!! They have a GOOD attitude
"and also a crime" I'm pretty sure an old man entering your home to eat some cookies is a crime too
Narnia
Ok real shit, red mentions the mirror and I go ‘huh kinda like how people get pushed on to be nice, wonder if she- oh nvm I have a brain cell’
wait, isn't there also a whole part of the story that talks about the snow queen kidnapping other children and turning them into ice sculptures...? i could have sworn there was a whole thing about that in this story
Reading the original is an absolute trip, and this sums it up so nicely! Kudos
3:26 soooo good
mm, yes, my favorite fairy tale.... that one PaTD! song...
more like john cena because by the end nobody could see her
2002 Snow Queen for those of you who thought you imagined it as kids and are now having a weird sense of Deja Vu.
Watch the polarbear King. It is inspired by this story.
7:23 I choked on my coffee
So hear me out: Frozen 3 - Only Elsa is basically a cameo and the original Snow Queen story plays out. The thing is that Elsa is not villainous, but instead takes Kay to her ice castle to use her magic to slow down the mirror shard from going further into him (because he as one more thing he still loves, snow, and if that goes away, it will be irreversible) but it appears like he is being kidnapped to Gurda. Anna takes the place of the woman that helps Gurda because Gurda cuts through her kingdom. The reindeer, of course, is Sven. Some changes, of course, to make it fit. Gurda’s powers probably need to be defined too. 😂
Simping for red till dead
I haven't heard that song in so long.. so I ended up just listening to all the Everly Brothers hits for like 2 hours 😅 still know all the words.
I noticed you didn’t mention that the snow queen had some shards in her eye and heart as well
Kay dickifed and toxic me: hey that’s me but also Depression and Anxiety also 8 years old and also almost died 11 times and the smartest person in my class
This is nice, very different Hans' normal tragic endings with his tales.
why ... why the heck i keep seeing this story as a different re-telling of the persephone myth .... someone got kidnap, the kidnaper is not the focus of the story but is the title hook anyway, the character who seek the other character have multiple links to nature itself and have load-some of other nature-theme characters either helping or assist with detective arc, .....Oh and the thing that end up responsible for the whole thing are only briefly mention at the start of the story (zeus and the demon). And Oh the frost queen story happen across a whole year so there's the season theme too .... it can't be that much of the coincidence can it? The only different is that they swapped who got the ice-making superpower from the seeker side to the kidnaper side PS: I have a great time imagine which character in this story linked to which greek deity, totally recommended
Is this a Saami folktale? Reindeer and santa-esque mythology are part of Saami culture, along with the aurora borealis/elder shamans being able to communicate with animals. Lapland is way north and winter was often a very dark and sad time, even driving people to suicide. Great video, just want to know the origin of the folklore!
“If your having problems, try crying” Can confirm this works
7:13 So... that's not how Thermodynamics work, old lady.
Let this be a lesson to all you Resident Evil Vampire Lady Simps
I clicked on the video because it said OSP
Hans Christian Andersen was not 17th century he was 19th century
To be honest, here, the snow queen doesn't even look all that antagonistic, she was just kinda "Oh you're cool, you can come with me" and besides, who doesn't have an army of monsters living and guarding their house?
Teehee, I am a clever viewer. :3
red: “don’t follow beautiful women into blizzards” me, nblw: ;-;
So! I'm named after Kay. Kay is actually an anglicised version of Kaj, and because in Danish 'j' makes and 'y' sounds, and the 'a' is like the 'a' in 'fall', the correct pronunciation is Kai.
I remember reading this story in school!
Me who watched snow queen:😃
" Cold & Deadly Snow Queen" who's in a sled Narnia:
I remember a movie about this I loved as a kid. But I can't remember if it was animated, stop motion or live-action. All I do know is I remember this story very vividly!
crying is how I solve all of my problems
I hope this becomes a regular series
Important to remember not to eat the fish the directions were written on.
Jokes on you I actually didn't ever click on this video for either the thumbnail or the title I was watching the playlist and this eventually played
I’d actually LOVE to see a Disney movie with this. Specially so I could see a happy “talking object” singing sess where it’s just gerta trying to get closure for Kai’s death but everyone super cheery. It’d be hysterical
Uh -oh zone I am dying
I forgot about the gold carriage before actually seeing a gold BMW in the wild and thinking "Dude, you are gonna get trashed"
This was my favorite story when I was little💙
"Are there no parents in this town?" In typical Disney/Fairytail fashion it's pretty logical to assume they are dead
I always stay to the end of the videos just to hear red singing, such a beautiful voice
I feel like this would've been a much better Frozen Like just imagine the Snow queen and Gerta are like sisters somehow or something I dunno. Like and it's so cool
Huh, for some reason I always thought they were brother and sister
This reminded me of Narnia when Lucy's brother edmond is kidnapped by the Ice queen, so I'm pretty sure that's based off of this
Love connecting this to Once Upon a Time
I have that book! Yea... That’s all I have to say...
My grandma named my mom Gerda because this was her favorite fairy tale
Everyone was letting themselves get kidnapped
That would be a wayyy better story than frozen! It would have been badass to see the heroine just casually breath out a light army destroying big golems of snow🙏
I want this to be a movie with Dwayne the Rock Johnson as the Snow Queen now
1:58 gold
This is one of my favorite fairy tales and I’m so glad you’re covering it! I have a beautiful pop-up story book version with illustrations almost as gorgeous as Red’s art.
I want some of this plot armor what the heck?
This story is unironically one of my favorite stories
It's like Santa... but backwards
"If I wanted to read about an insufferable child mistaking math skills for a personality I'd just read the early life section of the wikipedia page I dont have" ......... Me too red 😔 me too
At first I had thought that I had never heard this fairytale but as it progressed I remember there was a whole movie on Netflix. Can’t remember the name but had basically the same events
so gurta has simp powers
Oh, my favourite fairy tale for childhood! Although the audioplay recording that I listened to didn't have any angels or mentions of them growing up
Yo persona 1 lookin cool
my main goal is to annoy jesus
i'm going to kill all the people somehow
i feel like ruining something
Are you gonna do Sleeping Beauty next?
I would love to see someone turn this into a movie, but everyone would say it's a rip on Frozen...
That happened back in 2015, I think. Some Russian studio. It didn’t look great, but it was still less of a narrative disaster than the Frozen movies.
"It's like Santa, but backwards... and also a crime."
I don’t actually consider the Snow Queen to be the main antagonist, since Kai went willingly, and she said he could ‘have the world’ when the puzzle was solved. The puzzle could only be solved when his heart and eye ‘unfroze’, and he could be happy again in a place that wasn’t her snow palace. I see her as more of a true neutral figure.
The mirror sounds like it was created just as a party joke. “Who wants to look in the mirror!” “Me!”
I mean, they were DEMONS, so yeah...
"Gerda, why can't I feel my butt?" Wow- just golden😭🤣
"Are there no parents in this town?" We all know that parenthood holds back adventure. Every adventurous story begins with the loss of parents, or doesn't even have them in there to begin with.
quick he's getting away
everybody kill jesus
oh look he's hideous
get back here jesus
the problem is that now you've pissed me off
and take your stupid bibles
there's only one king of the hill
i would like to personally see to the demise of jesus
