Why is this not a movie ☺️✨

this is a surprisingly feel good story
also "if you're having problems try crying" actually do that, it helps

i remember this fromy my childhood 💀

17th century? 19th century surely.

Geeze even you just recapping the scene where she sings to kay made me tear up

I suggest the black and white russian cartoon, it's really fascinating and inspired Hayao Miyazaki to follow his passion into children's animation.

Other people, watching this video: This isn’t Frozen!
Me, watching Frozen: This isn’t The Snow Queen!

I wonder, could you guys do the Phantom Tollbooth/The Graveyard Book? Although book are kids books, they are very interesting and almost humorous.

Know this one since childhood, with slight variations here and there, and it's still better than Frozen.

"If you're having problems try crying" I... ok.

The Snow Queen was my first Anderson story actually. I really like it. Not my favorite, but it's a good story nonetheless.

Gerda has a lot of simps

Now I can’t stop thinking about Dwayne the rock Johnson in a luxurious white dress and wig just strutting around as the snow queen. Thank you red

Its like Santa but backwards. I was laughing for a solid minute

And this was frozen base off on... Seems right

Wait it’s actually kinda like the movie the snow queen, they even got the names right? (Btw not talking bout frozen)

"Don't follow beautiful women into blizzards"
Tonikkaku Kawaii has taught me different.

This is where the frozen heart and mind from frozen!!! Whoa

I've seen the snow queen on DVD and I was fucking scared of that one scene, where the queen has the drawing of Gerda and makes it horrbile.

Have problems try crying lol...

I come from Denmark, so the story is drilled into my brain. (Also with every other story from H.C Andersen.) So when i got told that Frozen was based on the story, w
I was like.. nooooooo really?

Native American mythology is super underrated it’s like an anime

But I also really like this one it’s like that new dragon Disney movie but better

The snow queen kidnapping Kay reminds me of the Witch from Narnia

I love red's songs. They are awesome

THERE IS A MOVIE THAT IS JUST THE DAMN EXACT SAME AS THE WAY YOU DESCRIBED!!! ITS UNDERATTED BUT ITS REALLY WELL DONE

When I was little, I watched a live action movie about the Snow queen and thought it was great and got very dissapointed by Frozen. However, I didn't know the original story was so different from the live action movie. Still, I would highly recommend the movie to people. :) And I love the original story too.

Love this new series...more please❣

Suddenly I get where the inspiration for _The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe_ came from.

Imagine having someone as devoted to you as Gerda, couldn’t be me...
😭😭couldn’t be me 😭😭

I want to see a live action version of Frozen with Elsa played by the Rock

This story is written by the same dude who once cried on the lawn of Charles Dickens for like, 2 days (or something, not sure on the length) after receiving a single bad review, which was more like constructive criticism

Loved the moral message at the end

So anyway this is my all-time favorite fairy tale from when I was young and hearing it again has been so fun. also the old lady buried the roses so Gerda wouldn't see them. It was the old lady's hat that set her off. I liked it mostly because of how l o n g it took. most fairy tales didn't have the aspect of time very relevant, and the fact that it took all their teenage years to save her friend made me happy.

This feels like narnia with less plot and characters

Playing Red at half-speed makes her sound drunk and it's hilarious

Wow I had no idea Frozen is pretty much NOTHING like the original tale. Damn 😂

Ok but he solved the eternity puzzle. So is he gonna become king of the world or?

That puberty part of them not knowing they got older because of being busy is what I call, "early puberty"

"Its like Santa. But backwards. And a straight up crime."
Me: Santa breaks into our houses and steals our cookies, your point?

This actually ended pretty good for being a Hans Christian Andersen story

"Kay decides that being kidnapped is pretty cool, actually!"

I love that demon!! They have a GOOD attitude

"and also a crime"
I'm pretty sure an old man entering your home to eat some cookies is a crime too

Narnia

Ok real shit, red mentions the mirror and I go ‘huh kinda like how people get pushed on to be nice, wonder if she- oh nvm I have a brain cell’

wait, isn't there also a whole part of the story that talks about the snow queen kidnapping other children and turning them into ice sculptures...? i could have sworn there was a whole thing about that in this story

Reading the original is an absolute trip, and this sums it up so nicely! Kudos

3:26 soooo good

mm, yes, my favorite fairy tale.... that one PaTD! song...

more like john cena because by the end nobody could see her

2002 Snow Queen for those of you who thought you imagined it as kids and are now having a weird sense of Deja Vu.

Watch the polarbear King. It is inspired by this story.

7:23 I choked on my coffee

So hear me out: Frozen 3 - Only Elsa is basically a cameo and the original Snow Queen story plays out. The thing is that Elsa is not villainous, but instead takes Kay to her ice castle to use her magic to slow down the mirror shard from going further into him (because he as one more thing he still loves, snow, and if that goes away, it will be irreversible) but it appears like he is being kidnapped to Gurda. Anna takes the place of the woman that helps Gurda because Gurda cuts through her kingdom. The reindeer, of course, is Sven. Some changes, of course, to make it fit. Gurda’s powers probably need to be defined too. 😂

Simping for red till dead

I haven't heard that song in so long.. so I ended up just listening to all the Everly Brothers hits for like 2 hours 😅 still know all the words.

I noticed you didn’t mention that the snow queen had some shards in her eye and heart as well

Kay dickifed and toxic me: hey that’s me but also Depression and Anxiety also 8 years old and also almost died 11 times and the smartest person in my class

This is nice, very different Hans' normal tragic endings with his tales.

why ... why the heck i keep seeing this story as a different re-telling of the persephone myth ....
someone got kidnap, the kidnaper is not the focus of the story but is the title hook anyway, the character who seek the other character have multiple links to nature itself and have load-some of other nature-theme characters either helping or assist with detective arc, .....Oh and the thing that end up responsible for the whole thing are only briefly mention at the start of the story (zeus and the demon). And Oh the frost queen story happen across a whole year so there's the season theme too .... it can't be that much of the coincidence can it?
The only different is that they swapped who got the ice-making superpower from the seeker side to the kidnaper side
PS: I have a great time imagine which character in this story linked to which greek deity, totally recommended

Is this a Saami folktale? Reindeer and santa-esque mythology are part of Saami culture, along with the aurora borealis/elder shamans being able to communicate with animals. Lapland is way north and winter was often a very dark and sad time, even driving people to suicide. Great video, just want to know the origin of the folklore!

“If your having problems, try crying”
Can confirm this works

7:13 So... that's not how Thermodynamics work, old lady.

Let this be a lesson to all you Resident Evil Vampire Lady Simps

I clicked on the video because it said OSP

Hans Christian Andersen was not 17th century he was 19th century

To be honest, here, the snow queen doesn't even look all that antagonistic, she was just kinda "Oh you're cool, you can come with me" and besides, who doesn't have an army of monsters living and guarding their house?

Teehee, I am a clever viewer. :3

red: “don’t follow beautiful women into blizzards”
me, nblw: ;-;

So! I'm named after Kay. Kay is actually an anglicised version of Kaj, and because in Danish 'j' makes and 'y' sounds, and the 'a' is like the 'a' in 'fall', the correct pronunciation is Kai.

I remember reading this story in school!

Me who watched snow queen:😃

" Cold & Deadly Snow Queen" who's in a sled
Narnia:

I remember a movie about this I loved as a kid. But I can't remember if it was animated, stop motion or live-action. All I do know is I remember this story very vividly!

crying is how I solve all of my problems

I hope this becomes a regular series

Important to remember not to eat the fish the directions were written on.

Jokes on you I actually didn't ever click on this video for either the thumbnail or the title

I was watching the playlist and this eventually played

I’d actually LOVE to see a Disney movie with this. Specially so I could see a happy “talking object” singing sess where it’s just gerta trying to get closure for Kai’s death but everyone super cheery. It’d be hysterical

Uh -oh zone I am dying

I forgot about the gold carriage before actually seeing a gold BMW in the wild and thinking "Dude, you are gonna get trashed"

This was my favorite story when I was little💙

"Are there no parents in this town?"
In typical Disney/Fairytail fashion it's pretty logical to assume they are dead

I always stay to the end of the videos just to hear red singing, such a beautiful voice

I feel like this would've been a much better Frozen
Like just imagine the Snow queen and Gerta are like sisters somehow or something I dunno. Like and it's so cool

Huh, for some reason I always thought they were brother and sister

This reminded me of Narnia when Lucy's brother edmond is kidnapped by the Ice queen, so I'm pretty sure that's based off of this

Love connecting this to Once Upon a Time

I have that book!
Yea... That’s all I have to say...

My grandma named my mom Gerda because this was her favorite fairy tale

Everyone was letting themselves get kidnapped

That would be a wayyy better story than frozen! It would have been badass to see the heroine just casually breath out a light army destroying big golems of snow🙏

I want this to be a movie with Dwayne the Rock Johnson as the Snow Queen now

1:58 gold

This is one of my favorite fairy tales and I’m so glad you’re covering it! I have a beautiful pop-up story book version with illustrations almost as gorgeous as Red’s art.

I want some of this plot armor what the heck?

This story is unironically one of my favorite stories

It's like Santa... but backwards

"If I wanted to read about an insufferable child mistaking math skills for a personality I'd just read the early life section of the wikipedia page I dont have" .........

Me too red 😔 me too

At first I had thought that I had never heard this fairytale but as it progressed I remember there was a whole movie on Netflix. Can’t remember the name but had basically the same events
