Frozen II is a 2019 American computer-animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, based on a screenplay by Lee. Inspired by the Scandinavian and the Nordic mythologies, the film stars Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad, and Jonathan Groff. Sequel to Frozen (2013) and set three years after its events, the story follows two sisters—Elsa and Anna—alongside ice harvester Kristoff, a reindeer, Sven, and a snowman, Olaf. They embark on a quest to uncover the ancient origin of Elsa's magical powers and to save their kingdom from an external elemental curse generated from the mythical Enchanted Forest.

Frozen II underwent an internal debate with argumentative opposes concerning the failure possibility to convey the original's impression. Despite the obstacle, the film was approved in March 2015, the reconsideration was due to the success of the first Frozen. The first completed scene prevention was exhibited at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in June 2019. The sequel is also heavier in visual computer effects, and due to its level of difficulty, were rendered by multiple departments. While still retaining much of the humor of its predecessor, the film contains a darker tone with a heavier focus on action, death, and intense imagery. This was a deliberate move by the filmmakers, who likened the tone of Frozen II to earlier Walt Disney-era fairytales such as Pinocchio.[7]

Frozen II premiered in Los Angeles on November 7, 2019, and was released in the United States on November 22, in IMAX and 3D format. The film received generally positive reviews from critics with praise for its animation, soundtrack, score, and voice performance, though it drew some criticism for its story and music when compared to its predecessor. With earnings of $1.450 billion worldwide, it became the third highest-grossing film of 2019, the 10th highest-grossing film of all time, and the second highest-grossing animated film of all time during its theatrical run, where the film became the highest all-time worldwide opening for an animated film. Frozen II also received numerous accolades, including two Annie Awards, and was nominated for a BAFTA, two Golden Globes, and two Grammys. At the 92nd Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best Original Song for "Into the Unknown".

Plot

King Agnarr of Arendelle tells a story to his young daughters, Elsa and Anna, about their grandfather, King Runeard, establishing a treaty with a neighboring tribe of Northuldra by building a dam in their homeland, the Enchanted Forest. However, a fight occurs, resulting in Runeard's death and enraging the classical elemental spirits of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air of the forest. The spirits disappear and a wall of mist traps everyone in the Enchanted Forest. Young Agnarr barely escapes due to the help of an unknown savior.

Three years after her coronation,[a] Elsa celebrates autumn in the kingdom with Anna, Olaf the snowman, Kristoff the ice harvester, and Kristoff's reindeer Sven. One night, when Elsa hears a mysterious voice calling out to her, she follows it and unintentionally awakens the elemental spirits, which forces everyone in the kingdom to evacuate. Grand Pabbie and the Rock Troll colony arrive and Pabbie informs them that they must set things right by discovering the truth about the past. Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven embark to the Enchanted Forest, following the mysterious voice. After the mist parts at Elsa's touch, the Air spirit, in the form of a tornado, appears and sweeps everyone in its vortex. Elsa stops it, forming a set of ice sculptures. The sisters discover the sculptures are images from their father's past. They encounter the Northuldra and a troop of Arendellian soldiers who are still in conflict with one another. When the Fire spirit appears, Elsa discovers the spirit to be an agitated magical salamander and calms it down. Elsa and Anna arrange a truce between the soldiers and the Northuldra after discovering that their mother, Queen Iduna, was a Northuldran who had saved Agnarr, an Arendellian. They later learn the existence of a fifth spirit who will unite the people with the magic of nature.

Elsa, Anna, and Olaf continue to head north, leaving Kristoff and Sven behind. They find their parents' wrecked ship and a map with a route to Ahtohallan, a mythical river told by their mother to contain all explanations of the past. Elsa sends Anna and Olaf away to safety and continues alone. She encounters and tames the Nøkk, the Water spirit who guards the sea to Ahtohallan. Reaching Ahtohallan, a glacier, Elsa discovers that the voice calling to her was the memory of young Iduna's call; that her powers were a gift from nature because of Iduna's selfless act of saving Agnarr and that Elsa herself is the fifth spirit. Elsa learns that the dam was built as a ruse to reduce the Northuldra's resources because of King Runeard's contempt of the tribe's connection with magic and his intention to wipe them out and incorporate the region into the kingdom. She then learns Runeard was the one who initiated the conflict by killing the unarmed Northuldra leader in cold blood. Elsa sends this information to Anna before becoming frozen due to venturing into the most dangerous part of Ahtohallan. This in turn causes Olaf to fade away.

Anna concludes that the dam must be destroyed for peace to be restored. Anna finds and awakens the gigantic Earth spirits Jötunn and lures them towards the dam. The giants hurl boulders aimed at Anna which destroy the dam, sending a flood down the fjord towards the kingdom. Elsa thaws out and returns to Arendelle, diverting the flood and saving the kingdom. As the mist disappears, Elsa reunites with Anna and revives Olaf, and Anna accepts Kristoff's marriage proposal. Elsa explains that she and Anna are the bridge between the people and the magical spirits. Afterward, Anna becomes the new Queen of Arendelle while Elsa becomes the protector of the Enchanted Forest who regularly visits Arendelle as peace has been restored.

In a post-credits scene, Olaf visits Elsa's ice palace and recounts the events he experienced to Marshmallow and the Snowgies, miniature snowmen that were inadvertently created by Elsa on Anna's nineteenth birthday.[b]

Voice cast

  • Kristen Bell as Anna, Princess of Arendelle and Elsa's younger sister[8]
    • Hadley Gannaway and Livvy Stubenrauch as young Anna[9]
  • Idina Menzel as Elsa, Queen of Arendelle and Anna's elder sister who possesses magical ice powers[8]
  • Josh Gad as Olaf, a sentient snowman created by Elsa's magic[8]

    • Groff also provides the voices of Sven and the reindeer.[9]
  • Sterling K. Brown as Mattias, the leader of a group of Arendelle soldiers who were trapped in the enchanted forest for over thirty years[8][10][9]
  • Evan Rachel Wood as Iduna, the mother of Elsa and Anna, and wife of Agnarr.[8][10] Wood was cast since her voice sounds similar to the voices of both Menzel and Bell, but also different from both of them.[11] Director Lee previously voiced Iduna's single line in the first film.[12]
    • Delaney Rose Stein as young Iduna[9]
  • Alfred Molina as Agnarr, the father of Elsa and Anna and husband of Iduna. He was previously voiced by Maurice LaMarche in the first film.[13]
    • Jackson Stein as young Agnarr[9]
  • Martha Plimpton as Yelena, leader of the Northuldra tribe.[13]
  • Jason Ritter as Ryder, a member of the Northuldra and Honeymaren's brother who shares Kristoff's love for reindeer[13][9]
  • Rachel Matthews as Honeymaren, a member of the Northuldra and Ryder's sister who wants to bring peace to the enchanted forest[13][9]
  • Jeremy Sisto as Runeard, Agnarr's father and the grandfather of Elsa and Anna[9]
  • Ciarán Hinds as Pabbie, the leader of the Rock Trolls[9]
  • Aurora as The Voice, the call from the memory of the Young Iduna to lead Elsa to Ahtohallan.[9] The Voice's 4-note call is derived from the Latin sequence Dies irae, but is delivered in a manner inspired by the Scandinavian music form kulning.[14]

Additionally, Alan Tudyk provides the voices of a Guard, a Northuldra Leader, and an Arendellian Soldier.[9] Paul Briggs also briefly reprises his role in the film's post-credits scene as Marshmallow, a giant snow monster created by Elsa.[9]

Production

In March 2014, when asked about the future of the first film, producer Peter Del Vecho mentioned the possibility of working with Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee to develop a sequel.[15] That April, Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan F. Horn said plans for a sequel were not being considered because the studio's priority was working on the Broadway musical of the same name, which itself required the creation of additional songs by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.[16][17] In May, Disney CEO Bob Iger appeared on CNBC, telling David Faber that Disney would not "mandate a sequel" and that the company wished to keep the Frozen franchise to itself, similar to The Lion King.[18]

In June 2014, Lee confirmed that then-chief creative officer John Lasseter had expressly granted her and Buck the freedom to explore whatever they were "passionate about," and the pair decided to begin developing an entirely new film unrelated to Frozen.[19][20] However, during the fall of 2014, while working on the short film Frozen Fever, they realized how much they missed the characters.[20] In the meantime, Del Vecho had been accepting speaking engagements around the world, where fans peppered him with questions left unanswered by the first film.[20] In November 2014, Lee, Buck, and Del Vecho began to discuss the possibility of a sequel.[20] Buck later explained: "The one thing that we did right away was to figure out what would be satisfying for Anna and Elsa at the end of the movie."[21] They soon arrived at the ending they would spend the next five years trying to "earn": Anna would become the Queen of Arendelle and Elsa would be "free".[20]

On March 12, 2015, at Disney's annual meeting of shareholders in San Francisco, Iger, Lasseter, and actor Josh Gad officially announced that a full-length sequel, Frozen 2, was in development at Disney, with Buck and Lee returning as directors and Del Vecho returning as producer.[22] To promote the film, Lasseter said "the filmmakers who created the original have created an idea that is so good that it's worthy of these characters."[23] According to the Los Angeles Times, there was "considerable internal debate" at Disney over whether to proceed with a Frozen sequel at Walt Disney Animation Studios, but the unprecedented success of the first film apparently swayed Disney executives towards making a sequel.[24]

In October 2017, Kristen Bell teased the addition of new characters and said the directors and producers traveled to Norway, taking in "the entire culture" to help them make the film.[25] Additionally, they also visited to Finland and Iceland.[26] She added that Lee had drafted personal journals in character as Elsa and Anna.[25] From the Scandinavia research trip, the production team derived the important insight that Elsa is a "mythic hero" who possesses magical ice powers and Anna is a "fairytale hero" who merely lives in a world with magic but does not have magical powers herself.[27] They also thought that what made the original Frozen powerful was how it combined these two different types of stories.[27] In March 2018, Lee said in an interview that she was working on the second of six drafts for the film.[28] In August 2018, Allison Schroeder was hired to assist Lee with writing the film's screenplay after Lee succeeded Lasseter as Disney Animation's chief creative officer;[29] Lee was credited as screenwriter while Schroeder was credited with additional screenplay material.[2]

According to Jonathan Groff, voice recordings for the sequel began in September 2017.[30] That same month, Idina Menzel confirmed that she would return for her role a couple weeks after completing her concert tour,[31] and Gad announced his role in the sequel with Buck, Lee, Del Vecho, and Lasseter.[32][33] In July 2018, it was announced that Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown had entered talks to join the cast in undisclosed roles.[34]

The film's first completed scenes were shown at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in June 2019,[35] where Becky Bresee and head of effects animation Marlon West said the film was "still in production, with seven weeks of animation to be completed and 10 weeks of special effects."[36] Throughout the production of the film, filmmakers collaborated with Sámi experts on the depiction of the fictional Northuldra tribe. An advisory group, Verdett, was formed. This collaboration was the result of an agreement between The Walt Disney Company, the transnational Saami Council, and the Sámi parliaments of Finland, Norway, and Sweden.[37] Additionally, while some fans campaigned for Elsa to receive a female love interest in the film, Anderson-Lopez confirmed that Elsa would have no love interest in the movie.[38] Lee later explained to Maureen Dowd that they had put the characters through Myers-Briggs tests, and "[i]t really came out that Elsa is not ready for a relationship."[39] During a press conference for the film, Lee confirmed that the sequel would not feature elements from Once Upon a Time's Frozen storyline, since she had "made a point of certain things not to see" while developing the film.[40]

Megan Harding, who had previously directed a 2014 making-of ABC television special about Frozen, reached out to Disney Animation about whether she could document the production of Frozen II; the company agreed.[41][42] Harding began to travel regularly from her base in New York City to Burbank with camera crews in tow and ended up shooting 1,300 hours of footage on 115 shooting days from December 2018 through the November 2019 world premiere.[43] According to Harding, Disney Animation provided full cooperation knowing she intended to take a "fearless" and "honest look" at its filmmaking process; her crew was asked to leave the room only once, and that moment (and the reason why) ended up in her documentary.[41] Harding's documentary would later reveal that by December 2018, it had already been firmly established that Elsa was following a mysterious voice, but the production team had not yet resolved the critical question of the identity of The Voice.[44]

Animation

The film was produced by a team of approximately 800 people, 80 of whom were animators.[45] Tony Smeed and Becky Bresee together served as the heads of animation on the film.[27] Hyun-Min Lee served as animation supervisor for Anna, while Wayne Unten again served as animation supervisor for Elsa.[46] Before animation began, Unten showed various scenes of superheroes like Frozone to the animators working on Elsa as examples of what not to emulate.[46] Elsa's movements in the sequel were modeled after her graceful movements in the first film and also drew inspiration from modern dance, especially the work of Martha Graham.[46]

According to co-production designer Lisa Keene, the animators did "a lot of artwork" to define a design based on the Germanic water spirits Nøkk. The visual mythical adaption required additional collaborations from several other animation departments, artists, and technicians due to its depth of difficulty, as estimated by visual supervisor Steve Golberg, the process took at least 8 months to complete.[2] The animation team aimed to give the Nøkk a more stable appearance than the ocean as depicted in Moana (2016).[2] According to effects supervisor Erin Ramos, the Nøkk's liquid-like appearance was developed by the film's effects team, which he said was "so that [the] Nøkk would feel like a strong and stormy creature".[2] According to Marlon West, the film's head of effects animation, the animators were given "the tools to actually perform with an ultimately invisible rig that resembled a little comet", as well as old key-framing technology, to represent the character of Gale.[2] To create the wind spirit Gale a new tool called Swoop was invented. This required that four (and sometimes five) different departments had to cooperate on the animation of the character, with animators working with real-time feedback.[47] The water simulation was made to be more realistic than in Moana, but some of the elements in the movie were thought to be so realistic that they felt inconsistent next to the characters, and so they had to be made more stylistic.[48] Creating the flurry effect was so difficult for the animators that the directors decided Elsa would have perfected a permafrost coating for Olaf by the second film.[49] According to Smeed, the Earth Giants "had a long rigging process" for the characters to move without "[seeing] solid rock penetrating solid rock", while Marlon West, the film's head of effects animation, said that the film's effects team had the objective of generating "rocks that would fall out of the joints as they moved", though they had to be careful to avoid making the rocks distracting.[2]

Frozen II underwent significant revisions after its first test screening in San Diego.[44] Disney Animation discovered that adults liked the film, but children found it hard to follow.[44] The production team realized they needed to clarify the identity of The Voice as well as the point of Elsa's transformation, add more comedy, and add more shots of Bruni, the fire salamander.[44] There was a scene full of grown-up expository dialogue in which the lead characters explained to the people trapped in the Enchanted Forest why they had come there, which was replaced with Olaf's humorous recap of the first film.[44] Due to these extensive changes, the animators needed to create 61 new shots and redo another 35, while an undisclosed number of shots were cut and left out of the finished film.[44] For example, approximately a dozen animators and artists had labored for two months on a far more elaborate resurrection scene for Olaf, but that scene was cut.[44]

The last major animation sequence completed before the production team locked the picture was "Show Yourself", the musical number in which Elsa enters Ahtohallan and learns the secrets she has been seeking. Del Vecho said the sequence "required all of the resources at the studio" to get the film done on time.[20] Lopez revealed that the first draft of "Show Yourself" was very different from the final version: "[E]veryone loved it, but we had to shape it. When we saw the first round of visuals and then we saw it in the film, everyone agreed changes needed to happen. And it went back and forth for months—it's now four minutes and 20 seconds and it has a big ending. It transformed a lot, and it was hard."[50] Megan Harding's documentary revealed that the grueling process hinted at in press interviews by Del Vecho and Lopez arose from the difficulty of determining the true identity of The Voice.[44] Once the production team belatedly settled on Queen Iduna, "Show Yourself" finally began to come together but then the artists, designers, and animators needed to quickly figure out how to stage the dramatic culmination of Queen Elsa's journey towards becoming the Snow Queen.[44]

Music

Main article: Frozen II (soundtrack)

Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez returned from the first film to write new songs for the sequel, while Christophe Beck returned to compose the film's score.[51] The soundtrack was officially released on November 15, 2019, a week before the movie's theatrical release.[52] As with the first film, Beck used Norwegian elements for the sequel's score, as well as featuring the Norwegian female choir Cantus, with Beck stating that it gives the score a "magical" setting, yet still being "rooted in real tradition".[53] Beck said that the film's score reflects Elsa and Anna's growth since the original film, stating that "the new score has also matured and introduces more sophisticated musical concepts and thematic elements".[53] Beck also said that he wanted the sequel's score to reflect the film's "complex and intense" emotional story, while commenting that he enjoyed "exploring extreme dynamic contrasts, harmonic complexity, intricate textures with vibrant colors, and hugely expressive melodic moments".[53]

Harding also dispatched a camera crew to the Lopezes' studio in Brooklyn to try to document their songwriting/composing process,[41] but the Lopezes found that having camera operators watching them disrupted their creativity and ended up doing most of that work off-camera.[43]

Marketing

Disney released the first teaser trailer for the film on February 13, 2019.[54] The teaser trailer was viewed 116.4 million times in its first 24 hours, becoming the second most-viewed animated film trailer in that time period, surpassing the record of Incredibles 2 (113.6 million views).[55] Upon the reveal of the teaser poster, American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson raised an issue that "water crystals have hexagonal 'six-fold' symmetry" shown correctly in the previous film, but that the poster showed a snowflake with four instead.[56][57] In a reply, Lee said that it was not really a snowflake;[58] the film explained that the four edges represented the four elemental spirits, while its center represented Elsa, the fifth spirit.[59]

Disney partnered with 140 brands worldwide to promote Frozen 2, the highest number ever for any Disney animated film.[60] In the U.S. market, Disney heavily marketed the film through a variety of internal and external partners.[61] Disney's marketing partners deployed approximately "250 million touchpoints" (i.e., branded objects) into the U.S. retail sector in preparation for the film's release.[60] To support the film's marketing campaign, the lead cast members made numerous appearances in public and on many television shows.[61] In November 2019, the lead cast members' schedules were so jam-packed with appearances that in Bell's words, "time [was] not there."[62]

Release

Theatrical

The film had its world premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on November 7, 2019,[63][64] and was released in the United States on November 22,[65] in IMAX and 3D.[66][67] It was previously set for November 27.[68] On January 17, 2020, a sing-along re-issue was released.[69]

International

Frozen 2 was localized through Disney Character Voices International into 46 languages by its original theater release,[70] while the original was translated to 41 languages.[71] Following the success of localized versions of the first film, which led to the release of a complete set album featuring all the official versions of "Let It Go" released at the time,[72][73] as well as special dubbings released for the movie Moana, which gathered in the space of two years from its release a Tahitian,[74] a Māori,[75] and a Hawaiian version,[76] a special Northern Sami dubbing was released for Frozen 2 titled Jikŋon 2.[77]

Home media

Frozen II was released by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on Digital HD and 4K on February 11, 2020, followed by an Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD release on February 25.[78] The Blu-ray bonus features include a sing-along audio recording of the film, an Easter-based short hosted by Olaf, a presentation of the spiritual inspirational mythologies of Scandinavian and Nordic which the enchanted forest is based upon, a behind-the-scenes review on its musical scores, kid-friendly activities and contests,[79] musical clips, 29 international translated counterparts of the song "Into the Unknown", and deleted music and scenes.[80]

The film was initially projected to be released Disney+ on June 26, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was moved forward three months earlier to March 15, 2020, in the United States, and March 17, 2020, in Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand.[81][82]

Documentary series

Main article: Into the Unknown: Making Frozen II

In April 2019, a companion documentary series of the sequel was announced to be launching on the Disney+ streaming service within its first year entitled Into the Unknown: Making Frozen II.[83] In June 2020, the documentary series became available for streaming on Disney+. To create the series, Harding winnowed down 1,300 hours of footage[43] to six episodes that were approximately 35 to 45 minutes in length.[42]

Reception

Box office

Frozen II grossed $477.4 million in the United States and Canada, and $972.7 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.450 billion.[6] Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $599 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.[5] According to Disney (who did not consіder the 2019 The Lion King remake to be an anіmated fіlm), Frozen II is the hіghest-grossing anіmated fіlm, surpassing the first Frozen.[84]

In the United States and Canada, the film was released alongside A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and 21 Bridges.[85] On its opening weekend, the film was presented in 2,500 3D theaters, 400 IMAX theaters, 800 premium large format screens, and 235 D-Box/4D enhanced theaters.[86] It earned $42.4 million million on its first day, including $8.5 million from Thursday previews, a record for an animated film in November. It went on to debut to $130.7 million — the highest opening for an animated film in the month and fifth-best overall.[86] In its second weekend, the film grossed $85.2 million (including a record $126.3 million over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend), remaining in first.[87]

In other territories, the film grossed $228.2 million during the opening weekend from 37 overseas markets for a global debut total of $358.5 million, the highest for an animated title, surpassing the 2019 The Lion King remake.[88] It had the best opening of all-time for an animated picture in the United Kingdom ($17.8 million) and France ($13.4 million), the biggest start for a Pixar or Disney Animation title in China ($53 million), Japan ($18.2 million), Germany ($14.9 million), and Spain ($5.8 million) and the third-biggest industry opening of any film in South Korea ($31.5 million).[88][89] In its second weekend in the United Kingdom, the film earned $11.4 million, bringing its total gross there to $35.3 million.[90] As of July 2021, the film's highest-grossing international markets were China ($125.3 million), Japan ($122.3 million), South Korea ($96.3 million), United Kingdom ($69.8 million), Germany ($60.6 million), and France ($54 million).[91]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 78% of 330 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.7/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Frozen II can't quite recapture the showstopping feel of its predecessor, but it remains a dazzling adventure into the unknown."[92] Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average of 64 out of 100 based on 47 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[93] Audience polled by CinemaScore gave the average grade of "A–" (lower than the previous film's A+) on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported a 4.5 out of 5-star rating from audiences on the film's opening day.[86][94]

Manohla Dargis of The New York Times admired the film's abstraction and its elemental pitch-black voids that reminded him of Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin.[95] Writing for MovieWeb, Julian Roman praised its "breathtaking" animation and action scenes, though she disliked the darker scenes depicted along the journey. Roman also remarked on the avalanche of darker new songs, but she expressed acceptance because it is balanced out by the humor and the funniness retained from the original.[96] While Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair simply summarized the film as "rushed" and "half-baked",[97] Nell Minow of RogerEbert.com wrote positively on its unexpected elegiac tone, and gave the film a 3.5 out of 4 stars.[98] Ben Travis of Empire rated it 4 out of 5. He was fascinated by the music and the characters, as it continued to evolve at being "sensory than sense-making."[99]

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone appraised it 4 out of 5, and wrote "the delight and dazzle of this frosty follow-up brings it all home in a climax that should have audiences panting for a part III."[100] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter reviewed the film positively: "Frozen 2 has everything you would expect—catchy new songs, more time with easy-to-like characters, striking backdrops, cute little jokes, a voyage of discovery plot and female empowerment galore—expect the unexpected."[101] Simran Hans of The Guardian rated it 4 out of 5 stars and stated that her favorite part was the quest undertook by the two sisters to heal their past, which bore resemblance to real-world climate change.[102] Kristen Page-Kirby of The Washington Post gave it a rating of 2 out of 4 stars. He panned the film's gloomy distinction and called it "lukewarm".[103] Erik Kain of Forbes considered the plotline unnatural and said that it draws "a lot of backstory that was mysteriously not present at all in the original film." Kain also pointed out the problematic inheritance between the two sisters and their Northuldran mother; he noted that none of them, including Iduna, bore no sign of any physical resemblance to the northern tribe, particularly Iduna, who is white while the Northuldras "looks somewhat Native American or maybe Inuit."[104]
