Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we need to have a word about grudges.
Queen Lessa (boooooo! hissssss!) has had it in for her sister Mora ever since a little incident with a mirror back in the deep dark woods. Was it Mora's fault? Lessa says yes. Was Mora just a baby at the time? We're not getting into that. What we DO know is that Lessa has decided the whole of Notarendale is going to suffer for it, and she has made it winter FOREVER. No sun. No summer. Six thousand and forty five cups of hot chocolate. Nobody is happy.
Except Lessa. She's delighted. She also wears a ring pop as jewellery and we're choosing not to comment on that.
To help her make life thoroughly miserable, Lessa has conjured herself two monsters. Evil, terrible, hideous creatures of darkness and doom. Ladies and gentlemen... meet Frost and Bite. Together they are Frostbite. Are they terrifying? THEY ARE NOT. Are they adorable? THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE. Do they want to make cookies? THEY REALLY DO WANT TO MAKE COOKIES.
Meanwhile over in Notarendale, the lovely Princess Mora (aaaawwww!) is trying to keep everyone's spirits up with the help of palace cook and absolute legend, Dame Patsy Pancake! (ALL OF THE NOISES, SHE DESERVES THEM ALL!) Patsy has buns in the oven, sweets in her pockets, and absolutely no idea what she's walked into.
Then, out of nowhere, arrives Vincent Von Flukenfloffen. That's Von FLUKENFLOFFEN. He'll tell you himself. Repeatedly. This smarmy, untrustworthy, very large leprechaun of a man has rolled into town with his Summerator machine and one very alarming proposal. He'll end winter forever... if Mora agrees to marry him.
Should she trust him? SHE SHOULD NOT! Does his machine even work properly? IT DOES NOT! Does he sing You're Welcome from Moana about it anyway? OH YES HE DOES!
And lurking in the woods, there is Jack. Lovely, scruffy, chronically late Jack, who never goes anywhere without his dog Moose. His dog who can talk. His dog who can talk and has simply been waiting for someone to ask him something worth answering.
We haven't even mentioned the Army of Unfinished Snowmen yet. Or DJ Snow, who rhymes all the time. Or Olaf with the eye patch who has committed fully to pirate fashion. Or One Armed Betsy, who cannot give you ten but will absolutely give you five.
Or the Blizzard Shark.
Yes. There is a Blizzard Shark.
Can Mora thaw her sister's frozen heart before Vincent's terrible plan ruins everything? Will Frost and Bite ever get to make those cookies? And will someone PLEASE check on Dame Patsy's buns?
Come on in. It's absolutely freezing out there anyway.
