NARRATOR (V.O.): Once upon a time... in the far, far North, the Snow Queen appeared... and changed life on Earth as we know it. The world became such a cold place, that people would hide inside their houses. But, there were those who would stand up to the queen. They were called wizards. Then one night, the evil queen sent the North Wind rushing into town... to freeze the last wizard left on Earth... Master Vegard. ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) Hyah! Go! ( HORSES WHINNYING ) Hyah! Hyah! Whoa! NARRATOR (V.O.): Master Vegard made magic mirrors... that were capable of reflecting one's true self... which no mask could disguise. These mirrors were the Snow Queen's biggest fear. ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) Ona, quickly! Hide the children! ( GASPS ) Ona, hurry! Gerda, hide! ( BABY CRIES ) ( GIGGLES ) ( DOOR SLAMS SHUT ) ( MUSIC CONTINUES ) Do not be afraid, my love. We shall live forever in our children's hearts. I love you. I love you, too. ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) ( SHRIEKING ) ( MUSIC ENDS ) ( SOFT MUSIC FADES UP ) ( HUMMING ) Eh? Eh! Huh? Eh! Eh! Eh! ( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING ) Master Vegard, we meet again. I'm so very pleased to see you. And through you. ( CHUCKLES ) And look at your wife... a bit stiff, don't you think? ( LAUGHS ) Oh, enough with all the fun. The time for eternal frost has come. Mirror? The Earth is growing cold. Your power is getting stronger, Your Majesty. People's hearts are waning... and yet-- I'm listening. A child lives among the people. MIRROR (O.S.): The master's blood runs through its veins. Its young heart beats vigorously. A living heir to Master Vegard could stop the forces of the North. Good morning! Mrs. Van Berry! Kai! Hello, my boy! VAN BERRY (O.S.): Come in! Get warm! Make yourself at home. Oh! It must be freezing outside, as usual, of course. Here it is, as promised. Look! Ooh! I see you shaved a few pounds off my figure... and not just a couple of years. Truth be told, I've never been slender, not even in my youth. You don't like it? Don't be silly, boy! I absolutely love it, my dear! You know what? I have got a little surprise of my own for you, too. VAN BERRY (O.S.): It must be here somewhere. ( LOUD CRASH ) ( HUMMING ) ( GASPS ) Oh. Is this real paint? And brushes? Take it. A truly passionate artist like you... must have all the right tools to work with. My husband wanted to be an artist, but he became a pirate instead. It's a pity his ship sank before he even learned how to draw. But be careful, my boy. The last thing I would ever want to happen, is for you to get in trouble. Oh! Heh. Thank you, Mrs. Van Berry. Goodbye, dear. Whoa! Sorry. ( SOFT MUSIC FADES UP ) ( WIND BLOWING ) SNOW QUEEN (O.S.): Troll! Huh? Listen very carefully, troll. Go search among the people. Uh-huh. I want you to find Master Vegard's heir. Hmm? Do you understand? Uh-huh. Did I say you could leave? Mm-hm. One more nod and the castle... will have a long-nosed ice statue in its collection. Now listen carefully. Take this vial of North Wind with you, troll. It will shine brightly near the master's heir... so pay very close attention. Hmm? You must wait for the North Star. Then break the vial... and the North Wind will bring you back to the castle. Uh-huh. Thank you. Thank you, Your Majesty. ( SNIFFING ) I'm on it! Piece of cake! Be back tomorrow with the kid. Saint Peter's Kids Shelter. ( SIGHING ) ( DOOR SLAMS SHUT ) Hmm? ( CHILD GIGGLING ) Hmm! March! All children to the workshops at once! Everybody to the orphanage, no exceptions! Luta? Luta? Where are you? Naughty weasel, did you leave the room again? If the housemaster finds out, he'll make a scarf out of you. ( SNIFFING ) Ah-choo! ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) ( STEPS APPROACHING ) Eh. ( MOANS ) ( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES ) HOUSEMASTER (O.S.): Obedience and hard work are expected at all times. There's no Mommies or Daddies holding your hand around here. This is an orphanage... and you're expected to be self-sufficient and follow simple rules. You never speak unless you're spoken to... and there is absolutely no laughter allowed. Laughter is a detriment to our work discipline. This is the third time you are late this week, young lady! I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again, I promise. HOUSEMASTER (O.S.): Hmm, now, it is also prohibited to engage in activities... such as drawing, painting, singing... or any other useless artistic expression of that sort... and last, but not least, no pets! Hmm? ( WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING ) Oh, uh-- Uh... Mr. Housemaster? Hmm? May I be excused, sir, for just a minute? I promise that's all it'll take. Hmm. One minute! ( DOOR CLOSES ) Hi, sorry, don't mean to bother you... but I think my weasel might be in your basket. Is it a white, cute thing with really nice, fluffy fur? Yeah, but she loves to wander around. She's crazy about chimneys. She's always getting into trouble, little brat. Actually, she's right behind you. Luta! She's such a little pest. I'm Gerda. Hmm, don't think I've seen you here before. Are you new? Piece of cake. I'll be back tomorrow with the kid. Heh? What? ( GASPS ) I found him! It took me 13 years, but I did it! What's this? Is it paint? You a painter? Can I see? No! Mm-- I'm busy. Some other time. Okay? Hmm. I would say that's a pretty long minute, isn't it? If you think you can wander around the house when you're supposed to be working... boy, do I have some bad news for you. Uh, Mr. Housemaster, sir? I'm sorry, this is all my fault. I, uh, asked her to help me clean the boiler. Huh, unable to handle our own chores now, are we? You can go, but don't think you're free from punishment. And, you are not to leave the workshop until you've sewn 50 more mittens. Do you understand me? But-- I-- 100! Oh. Hmm. As for you... every single boy and girl in our house, without exception, is gainfully employed. But instead of looking after the boilers, what do you do? You paint? But paintings bring joy and warmth... to this cold world. Stop! Nonsense. But on the other hand. No! You were right, Kai. They do bring warmth to the world. And they are most pleasing to the eye as well. ORM (O.S.): That was absolutely barbaric, in my opinion. Who's there? Over here. Little lower. Yeah, hi. Unbelievable! A talking weasel. My friend, you're surely not going to remain a stoker your whole life... a gifted boy like you. Gifted? You mean me? Yeah, you. I know a thing or two about art and this, my lad, I have to say is excellent work. Oh, right. No masterpiece, but not bad for a boy from a place like this. So, where'd you get your gift from? It must be in your genes. So, who are your parents? They died. Eh. A long time ago, I was a baby. That's right, a baby. Hmm. You know what? I think what you have to do is grow! Develop, as an artist, that is... but not here in this dump, of course. I can arrange a place for you to go to where there are people just like you! Where you'll become a master. All you gotta do is tell me you're ready, boy, and we can leave tonight... once the North Star comes out. What do you say? ( CLANGS ) ( GASPS ) I, uh-- I need to think about it. No, no, no, I'm not rushing you. Please, take your time! But not too long. ( GRUNTING ) North Star... tonight, got it? ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) He's really nice, don't you think? ( RAZZES ) You know, when I think of my brother, I imagine that he'd be like him. Did you see? He tried to protect me. I should probably thank him. It is the right thing to do, he's so nice. Finally, 100! ( MUSIC PLAYING ) Oh, hmm, oh. Lights out, everyone! Ssh! Time for bed! ( SQUEAKS ) Ssh! ( GASPS ) ( CHUCKLES ) ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) ( GASPS ) ( THUDS ) Ssh! ( THUMPING ) ( SQUEAKING ) Quiet! Huh? ( SIGHS ) ORM (O.S.): Dah-dah-dum-dah. All right, kid, you all packed? KAI (O.S.): Well, actually, I don't have much. This is the only thing I'm taking. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure, whatever. Hold on a second, I just gotta check something out here. ( JINGLES ) Huh? Huh? What's going on? Ah! Wait, are you an only child? KAI (O.S.): I heard I had a sister, but I don't remember her name. I don't really remember her at all. Unbelievable. You mean now I gotta start looking for Master Vegard's daughter? KAI (O.S.): Did you know my father? ORM (O.S.): Master Vegard? Yeah, of course... well, I mean, not personally, but let's just say we had a mutual acquaintance. ORM (O.S.): How about we just agree to say, you know... that your sister died along with your parents, okay? No, I'm alive! Gerda? Kai? Eh, hey! ( CLANGS ) Huh? A troll! ( GLASS SMASHING ) ( GASPING ) Oh, no, you don't! I almost froze to death looking for you! ( SQUEALING ) ( LOUD BOOM ) Whoa! Whoa! Let her go! What do you mean? She's the one holding on to me? Let go of me, girl! I can't let go, we're too far from the ground! Hold on, Gerda! Don't let go! I won't! I'm not gonna lose you again! Too late! I'm the one who found him first! He's mine! ( SQUEAKS ) What? What the heck are you doing, you white rat! Now get off of my delicate nose now! ( CHITTERS ) Oh! Ow! Oh! ( YELLING ) Gerda! Kai! ( ALL YELLING ) That's it! Get ready to meet an angry troll! You'd better tell me where you sent Kai... unless you want more Luta on that ugly face of yours! Oh! Ow! What are you doing? You hit me right in the face! Luta, get him! You've ruined everything. Hey! Where'd you get that thing! Are you talking about this? Whoa! A mirror. That's Master Vegard's magic mirror. Uh, yeah, that thing in your hand, where'd you get it? It's always been with me... for as long as I can remember. So, she's Master Vegard's kid, too. Oh, boy, I'm in trouble. Okay, where did you send Kai? And if you don't tell me, I'll smack you again! Ouch! It wasn't me, it's the North Wind, it's taken him to the Snow Queen. What does she want with him? He's an artist! You're kidding, right? You should know by now, the queen hates all artists... sculptors, musicians-- Now listen carefully, you're gonna help me get Kai back. Or else what? Luta... Get off! Get it off me! Help! Help! I will, just get it off! Oh, oh, oh! I'll take you to Kai, uh, fine. I said I'd help! I'm Gerda, and this is Luta. Orm. Time to move! Time to move? And how exactly are we supposed to climb down there? Orm, you don't want to make us angry. ( GROWLS ) I'll move when I feel like it. ( SNOW CRUNCHES ) I thought I was gonna-- Whoa! Orm, watch out! ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) ( TIRES SCREECHING ) ( CLUNKING ) ( MUSIC CHANGES ) Eh? Huh? ( GROANS ) Eh? Eh. Whoa! ( YELLING ) ( TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYING ) ( ORM YELLING ) Orm. ( CONTINUES YELLING ) Hmm? You know, you should thank me, because I just saved your life. So, shut up. Wow, it's so beautiful, so many flowers. I'm gonna go into the house and snatch me something to eat. You are coming with me! And you keep an eye out! We're not going to steal. What we're going to do is politely ask for some food. Look at all these flowers. I'm sure they're nice people. I bet you they're generous, too. Oh, Gerda, you really don't know much about people, do you? Here. ( LOUD CLANG ) FLOWER LADY (O.S.): Who's there? All right, let's spare the old woman a heart attack. I'll go see what I can find. Agh! My roses! This bush could have easily made about-- about three bouquets! But there are only five flowers. FLOWER LADY (O.S.): You nincompoop! Agh! Two bouquets of two, and one of one. Let's see, let's see, that adds up to $35! Plus the gate! ( GLASS SMASHING ) And a window. Ah! I'll give you six dollars for that fur scarf. Her name's Luta. Um, ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but I was wondering... do you have any food? What is that? How peculiar. What's that smell? That's the scent of roses. Hmm? I'd better be going. Well, well, this is interesting. These could fetch ten dollars each! Hold it right there! Truth is, I can't bear to see you go hungry in this freezing weather, my dear. Come in, I'll give you some hot tea and biscuits. GERDA (O.S.): But I must go see the Snow Queen. FLOWER LADY (O.S.): Believe me, girl, you don't want to see her. ( WIND BLOWING ) ( SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYING ) ( GROWLING ) No need to bow so low for me, Kai. Who would have thought troll could make it happen after all. No doubt, just fool's luck. How were your travels coming here, my dear? You seem to have made it all right. Most arrive as a block of ice. You have a strong heart, Kai. ( CHUCKLES ) SNOW QUEEN (O.S.): Good, follow me. ( HUMMING ) My sweet girl, and just tell me, how did you do it? Is it a spell, some kind of potion? Or is it magic? I'm sorry, ma'am, but I don't understand. Oh! Well, look at that! FLOWER LADY (O.S.): Pretty clever for a young girl. Okay, fair enough. Fine, let's make a deal. What figure shall we start with? How about two dollars? No, no, no. Four dollars, yes! That would be a fair price. Excuse me, but, um, I still don't know your name. FLOWER LADY (O.S.): Dear child, you can call me Grandma or Auntie! Gimme! FLOWER LADY (O.S.): I could be your mother. No, I'm really more of a sister, aren't I? We could be sisters, or better yet, best friends. GERDA (O.S.): You're kind of scaring me. Silly, tell me how you did it, I've been trying for ten years. But I've never been able to make them smell like anything. Well, except for manure, of course. I use it as fertilizer. I don't know, they just smell. Come now, sweet sister, just imagine the kind of money we could make together... if we were to combine our efforts You mean, that's what you do? You sell flowers? Joy, my dear, I sell joy! At a bargain price, of course. A bargain? Five dollars for a flower that doesn't even smell? It's just business, you ninny. Don't worry about it, I shall teach you everything. I'm sorry, but I have to go. You can't go! I mean, I just can't let you go without making sure you have another cup of my delicious tea. FLOWER LADY (O.S.): Well, I know you'll enjoy it. Okay, just one cup, then. Yes, yes, just one, that's all. ( CHUCKLES ) ( HUMMING ) Hmm? ( CHUCKLES ) ( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING ) Stop right there, you little rat! Sneaking around, trying to get more food for yourself, huh? Well, I ought to teach you a lesson for tha-- what? Oh, yeah? ( SQUEAKING ) Really. That's bad... hmm. Hmm, come on, follow me. Yeah? Yes, yes, just one. Is she really that stupid? I'll have her in my green house, keeping me company forever. My little sister will keep me rolling in money. ( GIGGLES ) Money, money, money. ( TEA SWISHING ) ( FARTS ) A potion for forgetting, very clever. ( TEAPOT SMASHING ) She sure is a nasty, old witch. Ha! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on a second! Oh! A troll! Yeah, hi. Come on, Gerda, time to go. ( FARTS ) ( WHIMPERING ) Orm. Oh, sorry, it's the potion. Speaking of, this lovely lady here was gonna give you a forgetting potion. Wait, wait, what are you saying? Such lies, how dare you? Is that true? You wanted to poison me? Let's go, Luta. You are not going anywhere, unless I say so! Ivy! ( CHUCKLES ) ( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING ) ( FARTS ) ( GROANS ) ( GROWLS ) You better let the girl go! What's wrong with you? They're getting away! Capture that girl at once! ( MANIACAL LAUGHING ) Get her! ( LAUGHING ) ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) ( LAUGHING ) Whoa! ( MUSIC CONTINUES ) ( LAUGHING ) Oh, no, you don't! FLOWER LADY (O.S.): What? Come to the mirror, Kai. What's happening? I'm so cold. MIRROR (O.S.): There are two heirs, we need them both. What do you mean two heirs? What's the meaning of this? Do you have a brother or a sister? You had better tell me the truth. No, it's just me, I have no siblings. Really? Is the little boy trying to play hero? No, no, I'm not, I promise. I will ask you again. Are there any other children in your family besides yo-- No one else. You had your chance. You chose to lie. You cannot lie to me, not with the frost taking over. As it invades every inch of you, I can hear the voice from your heart... and it will tell me her name. ( JINGLING ) SNOW QUEEN (O.S.): Is that her? Is that your sister? Gerda. Gerda... so your sister's name is Gerda. Look at all these flowers! They must be really nice people. I bet they're generous, too. All right, okay, I was wrong. Sorry. Hmm. And yes, thank you for helping me there at the gate, too. I appreciate it. Yeah, not a big thing. And by the way, I'm much more dangerous than I appear to be. Sometimes I turn into this gigantic, scary polar bear. I can't help it, it just happens. How many times has that happened? What? You mean full transformation? Have this. It's no lunch, of course, but it's something. ( STOMACH RUMBLES ) But I got nothing for you. That doesn't matter, you can have it. Don't want it. Hmm. Here you go, Luta. Hey, hey, paws off, you little rat! Don't know what you're thinking, but I'm warning you... I'm unpredictable. You said you were hungry, so I got us some gingerbread. Huh? Where to now? No, no, no. Trust me, I know these roads like the back of my hand. Piece of cake. Hmm. Yeah, mm. ( WHINES ) Mm-mm. Orm, are you lost? Just admit it. Say what? No way. Everything's under control. The entrance to Imana's caves is somewhere around here. We're walking around in circles. These are our footprints. Please, there are people everywhere. Everywhere. ( echoing ) I don't see anyone. Smarty pants, huh? You want to be left behind? Whoa! ( YELLING ) Ow! Orm! Are you okay? Are you hurt? Let me have a look. I'm fine. Just leave me alone. Here they are, the beautiful Imana's caves, the birthplace of the trolls. Do trolls live here? They're long gone. ORM (V.O.): These caves have been empty... ever since the Snow Queen spread her cold ambition and ruled the world. Her existence alone influenced two great kings from the troll brotherhood... making them turn against each other. Their desire for power was so great that it consumed their hearts... and led to a merciless war like never seen before... leaving no winners to speak of. It is said that the trolls' suffering souls are still in the deep waters... of Lake Gow. Did they all disappear? No, one survived. He was stronger. He was braver. He was quicker! He was smarter, and also... very handsome. But wait a minute, where is that mighty troll? Oh... Orm, are you okay? Eh, never mind, keep going. I'll catch up. Orm! Are you sure? Yeah, I'll be fine. Just, uh... don't look into the lake. That girl, playing her sweet, little tricks on me. She thinks she can be more clever than me. Thinking, eh, she'll find my soft spot. Well, I have to admit, that gingerbread was kind of nice. Nothing's ever tasted sweeter in my life. Okay, she shared her gingerbread and I have to take her to her friend. Hah! Who am I kidding? I'm leading her to the Snow Queen. If it wasn't for that nasty Ice Queen, life would be easier. Troll! Ow! Hello, my queen. I love these surprise visits. Where is Gerda, troll? Oh, she's here. Gotta keep it down, though, not that I'm afraid of her... but you know how children are these days, they think they're invincible... but can they really beat a troll? Come on. You were beaten by a girl? But there were two of them, and they-- Shut your mouth and listen. Hmm? I've been too kind to you. Mm-hm. Why haven't I frozen you yet? Well, because you're such a nice lady and deep down you're re-- Enough! Yes, Your Majesty. Your stupidity continues to amaze me. But as usual, every time I ask you to do something... you prove to be completely incompetent. Mm, thank you, my queen. I need them both. Do you understand what I am telling you? Or else I'll... ( SIGHS ) ( MUSIC PLAYING ) Stop! What are you thinking? Huh? What part of "you can't look into the lake" don't you understand? Listen to me, we've gotta cross the bridge... but don't look down, because no one's gonna save you. ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) Don't look into the lake! No, no! Don't do it! Gerda! Gerda! Luta, you gotta help her! EVIL VOICE (O.S.): Kill! ( HISSING ) EVIL VOICE (O.S.): Kill the monster. I've got you! Okay? No one has ever been able to look away. Gerda, you overcame the evil power of Gow. ( RUMBLING ) Eh? It's okay, nothing but an icicle... and another... and another, hurry! Move it! Huh? ( GUN FIRES ) What was that? Agh! ( HORSE WHINNIES ) It looks like a royal hunt. You over there! You're the ferret, answer the king! Stop shooting at them! Huh? You dare to defy the king? My sword! Attack! Let's try that again. Hah-hah! Oh. ( HORSE WHINNIES ) ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) The unforgiving cold weather broke Queen Anself... and she soon passed away. The king was left on his own with his two children... and there has been no peace in the castle ever since. The royal courts declared the king unfit to perform his parental duties. Thus, he can not come within ten paces of his children. And the kingdom has been divided in half between His Majesty and his heirs. So how are you feeling ? Ah-hah! I've got you! Wait-- eh-- Ooh, what's going on? Oh, damn it. Visitors? No, they're my prisoners! Your prisoners? We saved you. Why be so mean? Because I'm a tyrant and a despot. You can say that again. Time for a trial and execution. No, I'll just go straight to the execution. I'll chop their heads off and then hang them! Just one moment, sire. Allow me to remind you that by order of the royal court... half of what the king owns must be handed over to his children. You take the mice, I take the girl, that's more than fair. Hm, I don't think so. We'll divide the girl in half, as well. Do you want the top half or the bottom half? Wait, hold on one moment. Oh, dear, what on Earth am I thinking? What is the matter with me? Have I completely lost my mind? What we need to do is divide her vertically, not horizontally. That way each of us gets an equal half of the girl and everyone's happy. He's trying to take advantage of us again. He doesn't care about us. Hw can you say I don't care about you? How about last summer, when you forgot our birthday? That's not true, I remembered. Too late! How could I tell? It's always winter these days. I don't understand why you argue so much, you're a family. A family that fell apart long ago. These two only think about themselves. Have you any idea how hard it is to run a kingdom? No, I don't. Neither do they, they even divided this one in half. I don't think I can help you. I have to save my brother. He's in danger and he's the only family I've got. You see? She wants to save her brother, but you two just want to get rid of your own father. That's not true! I don't need you two and I'm going to prove it! I'm going to set fire to my half of the castle. No, we'll burn ours first! Hmm? ( WOOD CREAKING ) Help, Daddy! Help! Fire! Daddy, please help us! Help, Daddy! Coming! Your daddy will save you! ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) ( WOOD CREAKING ) You two are the most important things I have ever had in my life. True, you always made me work so hard! I only did that so you could grow up to be a wise and noble king, like your father. Don't be afraid, my dear children. GERDA (O.S.): Quit the babbling and grab the rope! Eh? Gerda, there are no words that could truly express our gratitude. ( KISSES THEM ) You have done so much for this family. KING (O.S.): Please accept this sleigh as a token of our appreciation. What about you? Now that we are together as a family once again... we don't need anything else to be happy. Bye! Good luck! And hurry now! You have a long journey ahead of you! And be sure to come back and see us! We'll be waiting for you! Goodbye! ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) Tell me, Orm, why do you serve the Snow Queen? Well, I guess I didn't have much of a choice? At the beginning, I was her assistant, at least that's what I thought. Then it started looking more like I was her servant. In the end, I just ended up being her slave. That's not right. She doesn't own you. ( CHUCKLES ) Yeah, well, I don't disagree with you there... but I have a feeling she thinks differently. Hm-hm. Stop! Whoa! Hello, there, ma'am, where are you going? Sorry, sweetie, end of the road. Go! Come on! Go faster! Hyah! Come on! Giddy up there, come on! Hyah! Giddy up! Go, go, go! Orm, now would be a really good time to turn into a bear! ( LAUGHING ) Hyah! D'oh! ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) Hyah! To the right! To the right! Give it to me! Give it to me! ( GUN FIRING ) Rat, give it! You little rat! ( GROWLS ) That's it! I've had it with you, you little, white rat! Orm... And you keep out of it, because this is your fault. Wanted to see a bear, huh? Hah! Then teach your rat some manners. Oh, I'll take that. ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) ( WHISTLES ) Hah-hah! Huh? ( WHISTLES ) Step away from the girl! Sweetie, come on, you're undermining my authority with the crew, Authority? Wake up, Mom. One day, I'll fight the captain and take over. Agh! How dare you talk to me like that! You're threatening your own mother? You raised me with pirates. Did you expect a delicate flower? Come on! Who's first? Good girl. So, tell me your name. What's your name? Gerda. I'm searching for-- Gerda? Mm-hm. I like it, I'm gonna take that name. So what's your name again? Gerda. Hey, you, are you trying to be clever with me? I'm Gerda. North Wind, have mercy on us. Sweetie, why don't you just tell Gerda here your name is Martha? What brings you to a place like this anyway? I have to go to the Snow Queen to rescue Kai, my brother. Huh, if she's got him, then you can forget about it. But how can I just forget about him? I'll be your sister, okay? No, I'm sorry. ( CHUCKLES ) You're not very brave, are you? I'm brave, I am. I just can not waste any more time. I hate to break it to you, you're not going anywhere. You're my prisoner. No, you don't understand. Heh-heh, you're the one who needs rescuing. Now that you've been captured by cold-hearted pirates. Pirates? Here? You mean to tell me that this old bucket was once a pristine, good-looking ship? Whatever, we're gonna get tons of gold, build a new ship and start pirating again. But even if you do build a ship, how are you gonna set it afloat? Where will you go? There's no sea anywhere... since it froze over years ago, because of the Snow Queen. ( GUN FIRES ) Now, who are you and the dog? Hey, lady, I'm not a dog. Uh, woof? ( CHUCKLES ) String up this scoundrel. Stop, please, please don't hurt him? He's helping me find Kai. If you let us both go, he'll help me defeat the queen... and you'll have seas and oceans once again. Boy, are you naive. Defeating a queen and trusting a talking dog? That's discrimination. I'm a good guy, just ask Gerda. ( GROWLS ) Woof? Mom, why don't you give them a chance? ( SIGHS ) As you wish. I have a hard time believing the Snow Queen can be defeated... but this is a good opportunity. Do you think I need these dollars, doubloons and pieces of eight? All nonsense. All that the sailor's heart and soul desires, every day of his life... is oceans, the sea, the wind that fills the sails... and takes the ship to ride the waves to unknown worlds! I'm gonna give her my reindeer. Sunshine, remember how hard it was to steal it? That's not smart, it's the best reindeer in the entire North region. You're gonna need your strength to take on the Snow Queen. ( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING ) Well, from what I can see, you do seem to have some real talent. Hmm. And now the time has come for you to get a little taste of my art... Kai. Hold on tight! Heh? Not that tight. Remember, the Lapp Woman is a shaman. No doubt, she'll know how to deal with the Snow Queen. Go fast, Ragnar, faster than the wind! Hmm? Hey, wait for me! I can't stop him! Run! Try to keep up! ( DISTANT HOWLING ) ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) ( MUSIC FADES UP ) ( GASPING ) LAPP WOMAN (O.S.): My home is no place for a troll. You old witch, I didn't want to go in there anyway. Good evening. I sense a mirror. Huh? Mirrors are quite a rarity these days. When you look into a mirror... you believe you're seeing a perfect image of yourself. The moment you adjust the angle, even slightly, perspective will change. That mirror reveals what your eyes can not see. Hate and fear become exposed... or perhaps kindness and warmth. A master only creates a mirror with great sincerity. A threatening thought for someone with a vengeful heart. That's why the queen fears Master Vegard's mirrors. LAPP WOMAN (V.O.): Many years ago, a girl was born... into the family of a wise Lapp wizard. Even as a young child... she displayed more powers than many wizards of the North. Her name was Irma... and her peers admired her for her extraordinary gifts. But those who could not understand what she was... discriminated against her. Irma couldn't fit into the real world. Children were cruel and mean, because she was different. BOY (O.S.): Witch! Crazy! LAPP WOMAN (V.O.): Her gift turned into a curse, everyone shunned Irma. This made her deeply sad, and her sadness turned to anger, festering in her heart. Then one day, Irma decided to go into the Imana's caves and made a wish. Let all those who dislike me turn into ice. LAPP WOMAN (V.O.): Hatred weakened her heart... and the cold took hold of Irma's soul forever. What's all this about? I just want to save my brother. Evil can not be destroyed with greater evil. Believing that you are not alone in this world can help you conquer fear... and sometimes, your most powerful weapon is a mere embrace. But how am I supposed to do that? The mirror, you must seek the answer there. Listen carefully, Gerda. Take this boat and let the cold wind take you to the Snow Queen. ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) LAPP WOMAN (V.O.): The legend is always bigger than the truth... because it also reveals that such evil can be defeated. Then do what you have to do... and in return, you shall get what you desire. Each decides for themselves. Choose which side you are on. I know-- I know what I have to do. And you're not gonna get her! Orm, what's happening? I know what I have to do. I can see it! I can see the queen's castle! I've changed my mind. What do you mean? I have to rescue Kai. Ow! ( YELLING ) You don't understand! You silly girl! You asked how the Snow Queen can be defeated, well, here's my answer. She can't! No one, no one will ever be able to defeat that horrible woman! I don't need you. You're a coward, just stay here and I'll go alone. Luta. So I'm a coward, huh? You have no idea what you're in for and you know what? I'd rather be a living coward, than a dead hero. You know, Orm, at some point I really thought you had changed... but I guess I was wrong, goodbye. Fine, go! And just so you know, it's not my fault that we're here, it's yours! ( OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING ) ( MUSIC CONTINUES ) ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) ( GASPS ) ( RUMBLING ) ( GASPS ) Kai? What's the matter? Kai? Don't you recognize me? It's me, Gerda. Oh, please, Kai, answer me. ( SOBBING ) He can't answer you, Gerda. Come on now, don't cry, Gerda. No need for tears. ( LOUD RUMBLING ) Oh, no, it's her! It's the Snow Queen! ( ICE CRACKING ) ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) You took my brother from me. But I'm not afraid of you. I want him back. ( SNOW QUEEN LAUGHING ) So, you say you're not afraid of me, do you? Well, I think you should be afraid... and do you want to know why... Gerda? Because the time has come for you to join the rest of your family after all. You're not going to win. Really? And who is going to stop me? Me, I will stop you. ( LAUGHING ) You are a brave girl, Gerda. You know, I think we could have perhaps been friends in another life. But now I'm afraid, not possible. Well done, troll, you accomplished your mission... and as such, I shall keep my word. You may go, your reward awaits you. Uh... I'm sorry. If I may, Your Majesty, I've been your servant for many years... and I've done the most horrible and sickening things at your bidding without hesitation... But now I'm begging you to listen to this one request, Your Majesty. Please let Gerda go! Well, this is unexpected and very brave of you, troll. But also very stupid. SNOW QUEEN (O.S.): Get out of my sight and be gone... I shall deal with you later. No, I don't belong to you anymore. Is that so? And who has told you that? Gerda? So, I guess the two of you are best friends now. Well then, perhaps it is time for you to tell Gerda... about your master plan of bringing her to her death. I... was just following her orders. You hear that, Gerda? This here troll... he betrayed you. He is not your friend, he will never change. He will never be anything more than a cowardly troll. Orm, my name is Orm! Orm! ( echoing ) ( ICE CRACKING ) ( SNICKERS ) Is there a mirror anywhere in the castle? ORM (O.S.): In the throne room! ( GROWLING ) ( GASPS ) ( MUSIC CONTINUES ) Whoa! ( GASPS ) Keep running to the throne room! I'm not leaving you! Run! Run! ( WHINING ) Eh? Eh. ( ROARING ) ( SQUEALING ) ( GROWLING ) ( FAINT GROWLING ) LAPP WOMAN (V.O.): That mirror reveals what your eyes cannot see. ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) It's all over, Gerda. You are going to stay in this hall forever. ( SNOW QUEEN LAUGHING ) Finally the time for eternal frost is here. MASTER VEGARD (O.S.): Come on, Gerda, get up. Stand up, my darling, you can do it. Father? Mother... Get up, my beautiful girl. I've let everyone down. I have nothing left in me. I can't go on, I feel so alone. You are not alone, Gerda. As long as you remember us, we will remain in your heart... forever. Kai... Gerda. I'm gonna be proud to call you my sister. What? What is this? This can't be happening! You thought you'd taken them all away from me... well, you were wrong this time... you'll-- you'll have to rip them out of my heart! No one can take them away from me, do you hear me? No one! ( SNORES ) LAPP WOMAN (V.O.): Even the queen fears looking into Master Vegard's mirror. If I disappear, the girl disappears with me! Irma! ( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ) ( LOUD RUMBLING ) ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) No, no! Kai, wake up. It's over, Kai, the Snow Queen is gone. Please wake up, Kai. ( SQUEALING ) Why you little-- I ought to-- ( SOFT MUSIC CONTINUES ) ORM (V.O.): So, this is how the real story of the Snow Queen ends. Kai and Gerda got their family back. Little Irma learned that having hatred in her heart would only bring unhappiness. And, as for the brave and handsome troll, well, he saved the world from eternal frost. ( CLEARS THROAT ) Orm... ORM (V.O.): Well, all right, all right, all right. The girl Gerda helped out, too... maybe, just a little bit. Trolls never get any of the glory.
