Elsa feels guilty because her parents died looking for answers about her magical powers (powers that required an explanation for her—as a woman). Later in the film, during the capture of Elsa, Sitron serves as Hans ’ mount to the troops marching to Elsa’s ice palace, and accompanies his master back to Arendelle.Furthermore, the horse as a clichéd love interest surrogate enables young girls to “channel turbulent and often difficult emotions safely into their passion for ponies” ( Haymonds 2000, 2004, p. When the player fishes the object up, it is revealed to be Anna's engagement ring, and due to being foreign to the Enchanted Forest, it was irritating the Nokk as a result. When the coronation bell rings, Anna leaves as Hans watches, but Sitron removes his hoof off the boat to wave to Anna, causing Hans to fall in the water.

In the English-speaking world, the original term for the marital groom, or bridegroom, incorporates a word that means to prepare or train (a horse or a person) for a particular purpose or activity, connoting that the groom’s duty is to tame or domesticate the bride.

Aside from closing their eyes while standing head-to-head and Elsa’s use of the word “we” to convey a sense of closeness, Elsa then sends snowy sparks through the Nokk in a kind of magical electro-kinetic connection (kinesics).A key part of the Nokk’s symbolism involves Elsa riding the beast astride and bareback, a position that is both “a potent image of female independence” ( Sceats and Cunningham 2014, p. The Nokk posed a challenge for Disney's licensing department in regard to creating merchandise, "how do you make a cuddly kids collectible based on a mythic horse made entirely of water? This product is very cute and lovely for your little princess, it would attract your baby's attention at once when she finishes up the beautiful cake topper on this elsa horse.
