Storyline

It's Anna's birthday and Elsa plans to throw her the perfect surprise party with the help of Kristoff and Olaf. However, after planning the huge party and as Anna is being led on a "party treasure hunt," Elsa finds that she has caught a cold. She starts sneezing and produces a group of small, cute snow people, much like Olaf, with each sneeze. After some near-misses, a very exhausted Elsa finally makes it with Anna to the courtyard where the party has been arranged. It is a big hit, and at last Anna manages to convince Elsa into letting her to lead her to bed and take care of her. Meanwhile, Olaf has taken the tiny snow creatures under his wing and takes them to Elsa's ice castle with the help of Kristoff.

Goofs

In the first scene Sven is standing with four buckets (full of paint) hanging from his antlers. We see Elsa scolding Olaf for eating the cake for a few seconds, and then cut back to Sven: now the buckets have disappeared. It would be logical for Sven to have put them down at this point since Kristoff had just finished painting, but the buckets are nowhere to be seen on the ground or the tables, and Sven and Kristoff were standing too far from the entrance of the castle for either of them to have brought the buckets back inside in that short a time-frame.

Quotes

Kristoff: There's a fine line between chaos...
Olaf: ...and a hullabaloo!

Crazy Credits

During the Disney logo shown at the end, the shooting star that typically flies over the castle is replaced with a snowbie that jumps over the castle, and if you listen carefully you can hear soft chimes playing the tune of "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?", from the movie.

Elsa is preparing for Anna's birthday, but a cold sends a few things awry. "Frozen Fever" is a short opportunity for the characters to strut their stuff, especially Olaf. I understand that "Frozen 2" is currently planned, but I don't know how they would continue the story. I think that any continuation would have to come in short snippets like this one. Both Elsa and Anna have brought a more complex dimension to the world of Disney princesses.

In the end, I found this to be a good short. The cast of "Frozen" returns to voice the characters and gives them real vivacity. You'll probably enjoy it.

John Travolta is never going to live down that mispronunciation of Idina Menzel's name.
