"Born of cold and winter air 
And mountain rain combining,
This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining."

Sang the ice harvesters dressed in traditional Sami clothing as they score a frozen lake. Dragging giant ice blocks through channels of water.

"Cut through the heart, cold and clear.
Strike for love and strike for fear.

See the beauty sharp and sheer.
Split the ice apart!
And break the frozen heart."

"Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!"

A young Sami boy named Louis, no older than the age of eight, and his reindeer calf, Kevin, share a carrot as they try to keep up with the men.

"Hup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!"

Young Louis struggles to get a block of ice out of the water. He fails, ending up soaked. Kevin came to his side and licks his wet cheek.

"Beautiful! Powerful! Dangerous! Cold! Ice has a magic can't be controlled."

The workers fight back at a sharp ice floe overtaking them threateningly.

"Stronger than one, stronger than ten,
Stronger than a hundred men!"

Massive fjord horses come dragging heavy ice flows.

"Born of cold and winter air
And mountain air combining."

The sun began to set as lanterns are lit.

"This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining.
Cut through the heart, cold and clear."

In the dark, Louis and Kevin finally manage to get a single block of ice out of the water.

"Strike for love and strike for fear.
There's beauty and there's danger here.
Split the ice apart!
Beware the frozen heart."

The workers pile onto the giant horse-drawn ice sled as it pulls away.

"Come on, Kev!"

Right on their tail, Louis and Kevin push their ice block onto a dinky little sled then head off.

As we sweep up from them to the Northern Lights filling the sky, we move across the mountains, beneath the snowline, and descend upon the Kingdom of Arendelle.

Within the castle's interior, in the nursery, a snoozing eight year old prince named Zayn slept peacefully in his bed.

Well, not for long, as his little five year old brother, Harry, pops up beside him.

"Zayn, psst. Zayn!"

The older sibling doesn't stir. Resulting for Harry to sit on him while bouncing up and down, in hopes of his brother waking up.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

"Harry, go back to sleep." Zayn groaned, half awake.

Young Harry rolls onto his back and spreads all his weight on his older brother. "I just can't. The sky's awake, so I'm awake, so we have to play!" He dramatically says.

"Go play by yourself." Harry gets shoved off the bed by Zayn, landing on his butt on the floor, and sighed in defeated. But then an idea popped into his head. He hops back on the bed and lifts one of Zayn's eyelids open, mischievously saying, "Do you wanna build a snowman?"
