      - Has an entire musical number dedicated to the crisis he goes through of always being the one who's sidelined now and how much he's come to see Anna as his "true north" over the course of the franchise- a lot of growth for someone who started out willing to let her die unless he got a new sled
  - - - Starts out with a musical number that reassures Olaf when he worries about the non-permanence of life

      - Worries about Elsa, telling her to see herself in a better light, worrying about being at her side

      - Crack jokes about past events
      - Beginning moment where the girls play 'Enchanted Forest' before their parents come in and tell them the story of the actual Enchanted Forest feels more real and believable because of the personalities being contrasted through interaction

      - Very well voice-acted by Evan Rachel Wood to give the impression of always hiding something while still being nurturing
      - Excellent character animations in her nurturing attitude, such as the way she uses her little finger to trace down the noses of the kids when lulling them to sleep
- - - - Full use of Elsa's powers
        
        Freezing and manipulating water to show the memories
        
        Creating the reins for the water spirit
        
        Using water to freeze out the wind and slow the tornado down
      - Have decent origins thanks to the Spirits existing
      - Ice looks much more convincing and less plastic-like throughout the movie, especially since so many variations of it are shown in the movie
    - - Anna
        
        Main outfit doesn't just look so much better with rich, warm browns that complement the magenta cape as opposed to the almost tacky bright pink of her cape in the first movie, it's also symbolic- the magenta cape connects her to Elsa but the rest of it matches Kristoff's outfits in colour and style
        
        Queen's outfit at the end is excellent for how it looks so much more regal and formal- showing how much she's matured in this one movie alone- while also being so much open compared to Elsa's coronation dress, showcasing how eager and ready she is to be queen
      - Elsa
        
        lsa's muted blue outfit looks so much more practical compared to her ice dress from the first movie, especially with the leggings involved and the subtle details on the coat are truly noteworthy
        
        Her nightgown is simple but the rich purples and more open neckline really contrasts her regal personality with Anna's lighter coloured and more childishly closed off nightdress
        
        Her final dress at the end with her loose hair and bare feet really cement the idea of her as something more powerful than the average person, particularly in how all the white with dots of muted cool purple makes it resemble real snow
      - Other
        
        The warmer browns of Kristoff's outfit really suit his character as it is so much more than the duller browns and greys of his outfit in the first movie
        
        The Arendellan military uniforms are really well designed and serve as a good contrast against the Notrhuldran's reindeer-skin outfits or the outfits of our protagonists
    - - Wide range of environments used throughout the movie which keeps it from looking stale or repetitive
      - The lighting in this movie is a particular standout for how excellently it conveys the atmosphere of each scene
