Not only does this song reintroduce us to the Frozen cast after six long years, but its lyrics are a love letter to all the youngsters who watched Frozen in theaters at five-years-old and - like Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and Olaf - are all grown up. Kicking off the Frozen 2 picks, “Some Things Never Change,” performed by the ensemble cast, is one of the sweetest songs to come from Disney. Without “Fixer Upper,” there might never have been an ‘Anna and Kristoff.’ Essentially, true love fixes everything, which could be a little naive, but the intentions are pure, and it works out in the end. Still, the song only feels justifiable after figuring out that Hans is a back-stabbing brute. Although the surface-level perfection of Prince Hans blinds Anna, her destiny lies in Kristoff, a lowly iceman who is the farthest thing from “perfect.” “Fixer Upper” gently encourages Anna to choose Kristoff, with whom she proceeds to have a flourishing relationship in Frozen 2. Regardless, “Fixer Upper” has a sweet sentiment at its core if you overlook some questionable lyrics because its fundamental premise teaches us that love works in mysterious ways. Granted, we didn’t know that Hans would turn out to be the sinister, two-faced baddie, but the main takeaway shouldn’t be about leaving your fiancé for someone with flaws for you to “fix” - even if kids are only thinking “Oh, look…talking rocks!” Besides, “Fixer Upper” essentially promotes Anna cheating on Hans, to whom she was engaged. There are just other songs that metaphorically knock it out of the park. However, that misfortune is through no fault of its own. If we’re being completely blunt, “Fixer Upper” is one of the more forgettable Frozen songs. Plus, “I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face” is one of the best lyrics. Even more so, Anna has been grieving for a long time, so she needs to lift her spirits and find joy in everyday life again. Anna sings loud and proud, letting herself feel the freedom and fulfillment of human interaction - a feeling she hasn’t felt in a long time. Not only does Kristen Bell completely embody Anna and imbue her with a cheery disposition, but what the song represents is ultimately more important than its overall presentation. “For the First Time in Forever” sees Anna celebrate her liberation from a lifetime of confinement, expressing excitement and disbelief that Elsa has chosen to revert the kingdom back to its former glory. For Elsa’s coronation, she allows the citizens of Arendelle to visit, witness the crowning, and celebrate afterward. She closes the palace gates to prohibit visitors and builds a barrier between herself and the outside world. After King Agnarr and Queen Iduna’s passing, as well as the incident where Elsa accidentally harmed Anna, Elsa chooses to isolate herself and keep her powers hidden so the people of Arendelle wouldn’t fear her. Fast-forward to several years later, and Anna and Elsa are young adults with the heavy burden of running a kingdom after their parents unexpectedly died.
