ICE

We’re underwater looking up at it. A saw cuts through, heading right for us.

IN A SNOW-CAPPED MOUNTAINS

ICE HARVESTERS, dressed in traditional Sami clothing, score a frozen lake. They SING.

BORN OF COLD AND WINTER AIR

AND MOUNTAIN RAIN COMBINING,

THIS ICY FORCE BOTH FOUL AND FAIR

HAS A FROZEN HEART WORTH MINING.

The men drag 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, Scott (8), and his reindeer calf, Avi, share a carrot as they try to keep up with the men.

UP HO WATCH YOUR STEP

LET IT GO

ICE HARVESTERS

BEAUTIFUL! POWERFUL! DANGEROUS! COLD!

ICE HAS A MAGIC CAN'T BE CONTROLLED.

A sharp ice floe overtakes the workers, threateningly. They fight it back.

Young Scott struggles to get a block of ice out of the water. He fails, ends up soaked. Avi licks his wet cheek.

STRONGER THAN ONE, STRONGER THAN TEN

STRONGER THAN A HUNDRED MEN!

Massive fjord horses drag heavy ice plows.

BORN OF COLD AND WINTER AIR

AND MOUNTAIN RAIN COMBINING

The sun sets. 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, Scott and Avi 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!

AND BRAKE THE FROZEN HEART.

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

Left behind, young Scott and Avi push their ice block onto a dinky little sled.

“C’mon, Avi!” young Scott then up onto the sled then head off.

         We sweep up from them to the Northern Lights filling the sky...then move across the mountains...beneath the snowline...and descend upon...

NIGHT AT THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE  

A humble castle, built of wood, nestled in a deep fjord.

Mitch (5) sleeps in his bed. His step-little-sister Kirstie (5) pops up beside him.

KIRSTIE'S POV

“Mitchell. Psst” I climb up the Mitch’s bed, “Mitch!”

Mitch doesn’t stir. I sit on Mitch and bounces, “Wake up. Wake up. Wake up!”

Mitch grumbling, “Kirstie, go back to sleep.”

I roll onto his back and spreads all my weight on Mitch.

I sigh,”I just can’t. The sky’s awake, so I’m awake, so we have to play.”

Mitch giggles, “...Go play by yourself.” He shoves me off the bed.

I land butt to floor, sigh, and defeated. But then I get an idea.

I hop back on the bed and lift one of Mitch’s eyelids mischievously, “Do you want to build a snowman?”

Mitch’s eyes both pop open. He smiles.

I, now wearing snow boots, pull Mitch by the hand. We run together to the ballroom.

“Come on, come on, come on!” I said cheerfully.

Mitch tries to shush me, but I’m too excited. So I always shout out. 21   P-P-[W32We sneak into the ballroom. Mitch then shuts the door. We laugh together. I’m too excited because we’ll having fun tonight. Just me and my brother.

I hold Mitch’s hand, “Do the magic! Do the magic!”

Mitch laughs and waves his hands together. Snowflakes suddenly burst forth and dance between his palms, forming a snowball. Mitch throws the snowball high into the air.

“Oh....” I amazed.

“Ready?” Mitch asks me.

“Uh-huh” I said cheerfully.

Snow bursts out and flurries around the room. I dance about, catching flakes in my palms and mouth.

“This is amazing!” I shout out. Run everywhere.

“Watch this!”says Mitch.

Mitch stomps his little slippered foot and a layer of ice suddenly coats the floor, forming a giant ice rink. I slide off, laughing.

I and Mitch roll giant snowballs and build a snowman together. I sit on the chair and let Mitch makes a snowman alone. Mitch moves his stick arms around.

“Hi, I’m Kevin and I like warm hugs.” Mitch says with goofy voice.

I jump up from the chair and hug Kevin, “I love you, Kevin.” And seeing at Mitch’s eyes.

I and Kevin appear to be dancing. Mitch is actually propelling us across the ice floor with his magic. I laugh.

“Kevin!”

After that, I put Kevin on the floor and slide down snowbanks together with Mitch.

I laugh, “Tickle bumps!”

“Ooooooh...” we cheer together.

Then  I fall onto a pile of snow. I laugh again. I can’t stop laugh now. This is very fun!
