Frozen’s tale of redemptive love can help siblings to value that sisterly bond

A bond like no other.

Much like the main characters in the movie franchise, sisters can often be very different — but Frozen’s tale of redemptive love can help siblings to value that sisterly bond, says Marjorie Brennan.

When the movie Frozen was released in 2013, it was a box-office smash, but more than that, it was a cultural phenomenon. Based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale The Snow Queen, it told the story of two sisters — Elsa, the older, dutiful sister who has the power to create snow and ice, and the younger, more impulsive Anna, who longs for more attention from her distant sister when they are orphaned.
