5 Questions About the Frozen Storyline on Once Upon a Time

Though the series creators have said that this storyline isn't like having a Frozen sequel, it does appear that we'll have at least one answer about the original story. In the movie, when Elsa and Anna's parents perish at sea, we don't know where they're going, but Once Upon a Time is filling in that blank. In a flashback in Arendelle, Elsa finds a book of her mother's that reveals she and her husband were concerned about Elsa's condition. Though Elsa assumes the worst, we presume they were headed to find a cure, and Pabbie spills the beans that they'd been asking about Mist Haven, aka the Enchanted Forest. But will the show really reveal something earth-shattering about Frozen's foundation?

This development is what sets the sisters' separation in motion: Anna heads out on her own to figure out what her parents were in search of, and Elsa stays behind . . . only to get sucked into Storybrooke. The question now is, when will they reunite? Will it take their whole arc to see these two living it up on the streets of Storybrooke together? And will we top off their appearance with Kristoff and Anna's wedding? And speaking of Kristoff . . .

So this one's a rhetorical question, but it has to be said. Sure, Kristoff's personality in the animated movie is cute, but Scott Michael Foster's live-action version is . . . kinda hot. Maybe it's because we always saw Foster as the shaggy-haired Cappie on Greek, but in his new short cut, with witty quips, Kristoff is straight-up dreamy.

Elsa's frigid journey through Storybrooke leads us to Mr. Gold's shop, where he has Anna's medallion, so the obvious question is, how did he get it? Did Anna and Gold have a run-in in the Enchanted Forest? We're looking forward to the Frozen characters actually interacting with Once characters (and not just being terrorized by giant snow monsters).

I figured Olaf would be tough to translate to live action, and show creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis killed any hope we might have about him appearing when they told Entertainment Weekly we wouldn't be seeing him. But considering that Once went for it with Elsa's ridiculous giant snow monster and the CGI troll Pabbie, why not introduce Olaf? He's Frozen's most delightful character and would bring some much-needed lightness to this storyline, which is taking itself awfully seriously so far.
