![]() ![]() Several other language versions of the song have been successful. Italian actresses and singers Serena Rossi and Serena Autieri and the Italian cast of Frozen were awarded best foreign dubbing worldwide In the reprise, elements from Demi Lovato's version of "Let It Go" are incorporated into Elsa's side of the duet, albeit with slightly modified lyrics. After Anna is inadvertently struck by Elsa's magic, the percussion includes part of the music from " Frozen Heart". Namely, Anna's parts are in a major key while Elsa's counterpoint is in a minor key, highlighting the opposite emotions the two characters have at this point in time. The reprise uses a different melody from the original. Finally, paranoid and lost, Elsa lets out a yell, and accidentally blasts Anna in the heart with the accumulated ice particles, thereby freezing it (an act which Pabbie and the trolls note to be fatal) causing Kristoff and Olaf to rush to her side, to make sure she's okay. At one point Elsa turns her back to her sister to form a two shot west, a blocking technique normally used in American soap operas. As Anna's tries to reason with her sister, Elsa's fear intensifies, resulting in her being covered in a blizzard of ice particles as a physical manifestation of her emotions, and she blocks out Anna's calming words. ![]() However, Elsa refuses because she feels she cannot control her powers and that she is better off alone where she can't hurt anyone. She also wants Elsa to come back so that they can rekindle their once close relationship as sisters. In the reprise, Anna has arrived at Elsa's ice palace to try to get her to unfreeze the kingdom, after she unknowingly sparked an eternal winter. Anna's run-in with Hans also involves them falling into Kristoff's ice-cart, rather than a rowboat. Anna's line "Who knew we had eight thousand salad plates" is changed to "And there's two nice ladies helping me get dressed," and the line it rhymes with, "Finally they're opening up the gates!" is changed to "Coronation day is just the best!" In addition, after the last key change, there is an additional verse sung by a chorus of townspeople. In the Broadway musical version of the song, a pair of lines in the first verse are changed due to staging limitations. This version goes up a half-step with each verse, starting in F major and ending in G major for the finale. The song is cutoff mid-note when Anna crashes into Hans's horse, and subsequently falls into a rowboat. Elsa orders the guards to open the gates, and Anna joyfully wanders down a causeway into the town against the flow of guests arriving. During her solo, Elsa practices her role in the coronation on a box and candlestick in her a room. During the third verse, Elsa sings a counterpoint melody (with some of the same lyrics that are later used as the first verse of " Let It Go"), in which she expresses her fear of accidentally revealing her ice powers and her anxiety about opening the gates. ![]() In the first version, the song shows Anna's happiness and naive optimism when preparing for Elsa's coronation. ![]() When the necessity of a reprise dawned upon Anderson-Lopez, she wrote it in only about 20 minutes, and then successfully pitched it on her own to the Disney production team, as Lopez was already with the team in Los Angeles trying to fix " Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" Synopsis Original "Life's Too Short" survives as a demo track on the Deluxe Edition of the movie soundtrack, and part of the melody was reused in Frozen Fever for the song "Making Today A Perfect Day". As the characters evolved throughout the writing process (specifically Elsa was turned from a villain to a tragic hero), the song was deemed too vindictive and was instead replaced with a reprise of this song, to create a motif. The Lopezes' daughter, Katie, came up with the replacement line that ended up in the film: "I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face."Īs for the reprise, there was originally a different confrontation lyric for the scene where Elsa strikes Anna with her powers entitled "Life's Too Short" (the premise being that life is too short to waste it with someone who doesn't understand them), which itself would have been reprised later when the sisters realize that life's too short to live life alone. The original version of the song contained a line about "I hope that I don't vomit in his face," which was deemed unacceptable by Disney as a reference to bodily fluids. ![]()
