In our current times of political turmoil, it is best to look upon our past classics and determine how they
apply to our era. One classic outshines the rest as being chillingly similar to the conflicts of western ideologies
today. Frozen is unanimously regarded as being a childrens film; nothing more, nothing less. But upon closer
analysis, we can start to see themes reflecting on the disputes of having a free society over an orderly one, and vice
versa. When fully examined, we can determine that Frozen, despite its innocent nature, is a Communist propaganda
film which attempts to point out the major flaws and struggles of capitalism and extol Communism as the superior
The creators of Frozen structure the society of Arendelle as a hierarchy. The workers are at the bottom
while the members of the monarchy are at the top. As we can see, this structure greatly resembles the hierarchy that
results from a capitalist government and society. Frozen demonstrates the bitter jealousy and barbaric competition
between classes that capitalism produces by using Hans as a symbol of rivalling corporations that attempt to
overthrow the rulers of Arendelle to reach the summit of the capitalist hierarchy. To counter this, Frozen portrays
Kristoff as a kind-hearted peasant worker. Kristoff is the symbol of a prosperous, equal, and classless society of the
peasants and workers, all operated by a communist government. Interestingly, the name Kristoff is a Scandinavian
variation of the Greek name Christopher, which means carrier of the Christ. This further emphasizes the
representation of Kristoff, the working class, as the symbol of goodness. Annas eventual infatuation for Kristoff
tells us that we can overcome class divide, hence humans are fundamentally communist creatures --- that nobody is
inherently better than anybody else. Another example of this is when Anna falls sick as a result of Elsas spells, her
parents, who are at the top of the capitalist hierarchy, are willing to go to the trolls, who are at the very bottom of the
class structure, for assistance. By portraying the royalty of Arendelle as jealous and portraying the working class as
virtuous, Frozen shows that compared to capitalism, Communism is, decisively, a morally superior form of
government.
After the discovery of her magical powers, Elsa is voluntarily locked up in her room, and after a series of
events, in her own ice castle. Elsa being locked up represents the idea of private property in capitalism. Also, the
name Elsa can be rearranged to form the world sale, which is another vital piece of evidence suggesting that
Elsa represents capitalism. The ice that Elsa creates should be seen as a symbol of capitalism as well. Therefore, as
we see the image of workers picking away at the ice, we can associate that with the continuous effort at smashing
the capitalist system that is prevalent through Arendelle. On a side note, this is also an allusion and tribute to the
assassination of Leon Trotsky, who was seen as a traitor of Communism by Stalin and his party, and was killed with
an ice pick. An ice pick is the same tool the workers use to break the ice, what we now know is a symbol of
Elsas refusal to let Anna enter her room reflects upon the selfish nature of capitalism. Anna, with her
flowing red hair, represents the communist revolutions that had flowed through Europe. When we combine this with
Elsas representation of capitalism, we can see that Anna trying to enter Elsas room is synonymous with
Communism trying to influence capitalist Western Europe. A further example of capitalist selfishness and private
property is the creation of Marshmallow, a beast created by Elsa to guard her private property, the castle, which is,
The free market under capitalism is painted by Frozen to be oppressive towards the poor and greatly
beneficial towards the rich. This can be seen throughout the kingdom of Arendelle, where the only place that
prospers is the capital where the royalty resides. The rest of the kingdom is rather barren, leaving the working class
in difficult working conditions, reflected in Kristoffs early life in the ice business. The theory of supply and demand
is shown to be extremely flawed when Kristoff shops for winter equipment at Oakens shop during Elsas winter
spell; winter came so suddenly that there was a massive spike in demand for winter equipment, leaving the
remaining equipment ridiculously expensive. In a communist society, however, this would not be an issue as
Frozen reaches its final conflict as Anna freezes over and becomes an ice statue, finally having been
consumed by the wrath of capitalism. To resolve this, Elsa channels her true love to revive Anna. Love is often
associated with the color red, and so is Communism. This means that Elsa unleashes her human, communist nature
to repel the evils of capitalism. After precisely identifying the fallacies and characteristics of capitalism, Frozen
elegantly summarizes its points in one conclusive statement: Communism saves the day.
