There are also chases, battle scenes with swords, dark secrets, and - spoiler alert! - a couple of upsetting (but temporary) deaths. Expect perilous (though never graphic) scenes of elemental spirits chasing and attacking Arendelle/the main characters with wind, water, fire, and more. While there's lots of humor (thanks, Olaf!) and - of course - big musical numbers, the sequel is ultimately a bit more intense than the original. The sisters learn more about their parents' deaths and backgrounds thanks to several flashbacks, viewers may feel even sadder about the orphans' loss. This time around, the characters undertake a dangerous journey to a mysterious enchanted forest, hoping to discover the source of Elsa's powers. Parents need to know that Frozen 2 - the sequel to Disney's 2013 blockbuster - continues the adventures of Arendelle's magical Queen Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) her kind sister, Anna ( Kristen Bell) and everyone's favorite snowman, Olaf ( Josh Gad). Definite spoiler alert! At one point it looks like Elsa has frozen permanently, and Olaf melts/flurries away as a result (little kids may be quite upset by this, but it's not permanent) - Anna is extremely sad after that scene. Billowing smoke and swirling, magical-looking fire that burns quickly and endangers characters. Various elemental spirits (air, earth, fire, water) magically threaten Arendelle the whole kingdom is in danger at a couple of different points citizens must be evacuated. Elsa is repeatedly tossed around by huge waves. Air spirits use a tornado-like cloud to roughly grab, spin main characters. Enchanted Forest can be scary: enormous Earth giants are initially frightening (especially when they hurl boulders at people), as is a water horse. Frequent peril and risk: Chases, smashing, panic, falls, etc. The sisters find remains of their parents' shipwreck in an unexpected place, which makes them sad other references to their parents' deaths. Several flashbacks to battle that involves weapons (mostly swords), injury, danger, nongraphic death (we're told of one death, and one other person is obviously killed - they're shown moments before assassination). Potential spoilers throughout this section.
