This is an example of what having a sibling is like. One minute, you're best friends and then another minute you're enemies.
Hahaha #true
So true! Amen to that! I can't tell you how many times my sister and I are mortal enemies one minute and the next minute we're best friends. Sometimes, we have to lash out on each other for a good 5 to 10 minutes and then we're good. My mom goes away to get away. And then she comes out 10 minutes later and she's like "I thought you two were arguing." And then we'll be like, "We were, but we're all right now." Sister bonds are the funniest relationships. XD
@@RoseCadenza me too but with my brother
Omg one minute my sister and I r like best friends, laughing at literally everything, then next minute we’re all like HMPH 😤
Rose Cadenza it‘s not like that with my sister lmao I wish it would be like that
"You're all like warming my heart..."
Not for long, Anna...
Best comment xD
Thank you xD
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂XD
Laugh out loud she freezes it
Hate you
Anna: "Arendel is frozen and no one can get in or out"
Movie Elsa: *Has a panic attack*
This Elsa: *Oh*
She's more like "an I oop. Screw Arendel I guess"
@NCT stands for Neo Crackhead Technology what ? "Considering her character"? She literally discovered she mess up more and more. She feels insignificant and dangerous. But in this one, she sounds way more ignorant and egocentric than the one we got
oh..
well that’s sucks
*This Elsa: LalLalalLalalalalallaalalaaAlalal
I bet she's speechless and frozen in fear. XD
2014 TH-cam: *no*
2019 TH-cam: "Here you go"
GachaBean me right now
GachaBean oMg me
Sooooo true
Lol, me 🤣🤣🤣
You probably didn't even have youtube in 2014
I feel like this explains way more than for the first time in forever does.
In for the first time in forever, Anna never actually explains to Elsa how much it hurt her to be locked out. She just 'forgives' Elsa before she even explained why she locked her out / ran away. Here they each actually express their hurt and regret, it feels a lot more human.
Not to mention Elsa is a lot more strong and sure of herself here, showing the change in her that she acquired in Let it Go.
I agree with you 100 percent, it was more realistic, Anna who just wanted to be with her sister, but tells her its all in the past. But soon after she showed the gloves it would in fact enrage Elsa. (I would too if that happened)
I just don't seem to understand why they added "First time in forever reprise" if this scene is ten times better.
Oh well.
I saw in the frozen website about anna, she acts before she thinks.
I guess in the final cut, Anna figured Elsa could use her magic to undo what she had done
Elsa didn't need gloves, all she needed was to learn how to love, like Anna
if you guys listen again, there were talking about a prophecy, because this song was made way before the story got changed, so yeah i could agree that this song might be better than the reprise, but the story wouldn't make sense. Because in this song they are probably talking of what happened in the old story.
YAY
omg kristoff's face at the end
I thought no one saw it
IKR
I had to screenshot it, it was too good XD reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes for some reason
Anna gets shot in the heart
Kristoff: **surprised pikachu face**
The roblox face
The only scene where Anna and Elsa interact like realistic siblings and they cut it. 😒
Also, the way Elsa froze her heart in this one is a bit...too much in ways.
Zachary Khan My point is, in For the First Time in Forever Reprise. Elsa and Anna were lightly arguing, as Anna tried to comfort her. (Sure it wasn’t as realistic, but also they hadn’t really been so close. So arguing really wouldn’t have been really a sibling relationship as much as actual dislike.) But Elsa grew from the fear of what she had done and ended up accidentally freezing Anna’s heart. In this one, Elsa and Anna are coldly arguing with one another, as siblings would normally do. However, as I said earlier they weren’t really too close to have grown a sibling-hate bond. Therefore Elsa ends up trying to block Anna with ice. Which results in her anger taking over and freezing her heart. Which in my opinion, is a way to set Elsa as an even bigger antagonist (NOT a villain) then she already is in the first movie.
lolol "realistic siblings" please don't tell me siblings have to fight in order to be realistic. and still, they did fight. like, half the movie, they're fighting.
@@stormbirdaloy true. besides, this movie was aimed towards kids. You don't want 6 year olds start singing this right?
@Lệ Hoa Trương every single sibling fight every now and then, me and my sister have very good relationship but we still fight.
Everyone who has a sister relates to the “lalalala” sibling
Ikr
The lalallala is so annoying, tbh
Maybe if you are 5...
Hehehe...
I am the lalalala sibling...
In the Philippines we are using curse words to express our annoyance lmao HAHAHAH
I love how the song is changing from a happy song to a sad song
But change no?
They're sisters and this song shows it xD
They go from "I love you sis" to "I fucking hate you sis" in seconds. Just like real sisters :P
A shame it was taken out, it would have been a fun song.
Hahaha yeah
@@amandaegeskovhald8222 yup. That's what siblings are
@@amandaegeskovhald8222 Yes, that's what siblings are, but not sisters that never saw each others faces in more than 10 years while both are caged in a castle
"lalalalala" Only makes me love Elsa more!
Hahha same what a sassy queen
HAHAHAHAHA YAS
Pretty childish for an older Sister. But also pretty cute.
@@johannesseyfried7933 This is what i dislike being an older sister😩🤚🏻 We can be childish bruh
@@giselleburgermy elder sister is the eldest and also the most childish of my parents adult children
This make more sense than Anna just loving blindly Elsa just because she's her sister
i think this song doesn’t make sense though, the reprise fits much more well since anna and elsa don’t even know eachother, in life’s too short they’re singing in a harmony as if they are best friends who argue sometimes. in the reprise you can tell how non existent their relationship is and how they don’t know eachother at all
@@Hydratiun that's the point! Elsa and Anna are actually strangers to each other, so how Anna can be so affectionate?
@@Hydratiun exactly!
I think both undermines the non existent relationship they both have...story wise I think a better way would’ve been “life’s too short” only because it shows the potential relationship that Elsa and Anna could have as sisters but slowly falls because they don’t know each other well enough at all that’s why Anna offers the gloves because she doesn’t know what that means for Elsa and how Elsa points out how selfish Anna is when she herself is actively being selfish
This song fits better than the reprise because it’s light hearted and then takes a darker tone for not only the story but shows a more realistic approach towards sisters
Think about it, they don’t know each other therefore their misinterpretation rules their feelings for one another and because of that while singing what they have in common they start to sing their flaws too
They really did it dirty by cutting it out it would’ve been better if they didn’t do the reprise and did this instead
It just makes sense
Maru _ anna lived her life completely shut out from everyone she’s ever been closed to. she longs for love more than anything. it’s why she decides to blindly marry hans. anna doesn’t know anything about love and that’s where all of her decisions and motivations come from. she yearns for it so badly, enough to go after the elsa, her sister that she barely knows but she wants that love from another person so badly.
No one else talking about how Elsa said “who married a stranger” as in past tense, as in Anna and Hans we’re married in this version
O.M.G HOLY-
i think she meant "who'd marry" which means "ur a fool who'd marry (who would marry) a stranger"
In one of the original concept arts, Anna is seen entering Elsa's ice palace in a wedding dress
@@Amber-ql9fs really? so she was wed and left to find elsa?
@@cutieklover7672 I think so. I just remember seeing it. If I can find the picture I'll post a link
*Anna opens the door*
Elsa: She aims her pistol at the sky wAIT
Elsa: I strike her right between her ribs
I walk towards her but Kristoff usher's her away
Majorawesome003 ZIEIUSHDBDYDHDHDHVDVE YES
Majorawesome003 HOW DARE
Majorawesome003 WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPEEE!
I really like Elsa's expressions and attitude in this!
Me too. And I definitely love Menzel's singing in this song. It sucks that they cut it out.
I love it too.
It's literally me talking to my little sister but in a song! (Now I really wish I knew how to sing)
@@foxtatertot her name's Idina

"Bye bye!"
How love this scene😂
Elsa: “why dont you stay? Theres room for family in my court”
Elsa, two seconds later: “bye bye~”
Two seconds after she wanted to strip her of her freedom
Having siblings be like :
One moment : Life's too short to miss out on a sister like you
Two minutes later : Life's too short to even have you in it
Facts
Yup
30 minutes later:
Anna: "Hey wanna catch a movie?"
Elsa: "Yeah sure"
*Only siblings can relate xDD*
Disney choosing the reprise seems almost comical. "Life's too short" was way more better than the reprise
In this you can see Elsa has actually changed, rather than in the reprise where she gets scared again so easily.
And they actually fight like real sisters.
I couldn't disagree more. I'm a writer, and I think the reprise fits the movie storyline perfectly. This was tumultuous because the original storyline was tumultuous. Anna says it herself that they've had a falling out, which never happens in the movie. In the early draft, she was seen as a useless princess, because she didn't have any powers like her sister, which she completely knew about, but in the movie, they were both locked in the castle and hardly spoke to each other, which is why they had to change the focus of the fight into Anna's engagement, while in this version of the story, Anna is already married to Hans.
Before this song I've defended the reprise countless times. And sure this song is focused on a different fight. But I think you're defending the reprise for the different reason that I have. (I'm speaking from both sides, because i love both songs) Elsa's personality is caring and afraid. When she 'let it go' she thought she wasn't going to have to fear hurting people, that by running away she was keeping others safe. So when Anna tells her that she froze over Arandelle, she realizes she can't escape her powers, and she always ends up hurting people. A lot of people dislike this movie and Elsa because she has no 'character development'. Elsa's personality can't change suddenly through a song, because she's been this way for so many years. I like this version of the song because Elsa and Anna are arguing like real sisters and it shows no matter what, sisters are sisters and they argue. And I wrote this comment before I remembered that Elsa's character is completely different than this portrayed. I think for the sequel, I would like to see more sisterly actions between the two, even though there were some cute scenes. And I'm also a writer, so... ^.^
Well, are you even taking into account the storylines? This song follows completely from the original storyline, the one that still had the prophecy. I also know psychology, so I completely understand the emotional abuse her parents put her through (in the movie). Frozen is not as innocent as it looks at all. It's rather fucked up... Elsa grew up that way, fearful, because that's how she was brought up by her parents. They drilled it into her. She was not raised that way in the original storyline. Sisterhood is completely irrelevant to the interaction in the reprise... and is totally relevant and central in this song, so your point makes no sense to me whatsoever.
I can see your point if you're just going by the songs, but you're a writer. You shouldn't be defending something out of context. Writing also includes a solid understanding of psychology, which both versions of the movie really have. I don't think you're taking into account just how terrible her parents were in the movie version. Elsa is nowhere near as outspoken and confrontational as she is in the original. There's plenty of character in Elsa that people just don't understand, and the technical term for Elsa's behavior in the reprise is regression.
I realize my point doesn't make sense, because I've argued from both sides. I understand the fact that Elsa regresses and she's been 'drilled' by her parents to be afraid, but don't you think she cared about her sister too? She became afraid from the prophecy and from seeing her sister get hurt. She does care whether or not she hurts people, because her parents taught her to fear her powers.
And I've just begun to take psychology, so I have yet to grasp the full understanding. But what I do know is that in the reprise, she's afraid of hurting more people, as she realizes she can't run from her responsibilities and powers.
totally i agree with you GlaceonGrace
the more deleted scenes i watch, the more i wish they'd actually gone for the "elsa's a villain" route. i do like how elsa turned out in the movie, but at the same time i feel like this more cynical version of her who, instead of being intimidated by her own powers is much more angry and a tad selfish, would have made a lot more room for growth and conflict. anna is also a much more interesting character, whose quirky awkwardness is an actual character flaw she needs to sort out. their dynamics depicted here are so much more complex and endearing. better than singing trolls at least.
I agree. They softened Elsa way too much. I understood the change of making her more of an hero than an antagonist, but it just looks weird to watch her free herself just for having fear later again.
I AGREE SO MUCH WITH YOU.
anthares96
Ana and Elsa were both being selfish but OK
That's true and I agree. They are still lovable characters but much more relatable!
here's frozen 2,what do you think now?
Elsa in the outtakes: Anna it’s fine if you stay here
Elsa in the movie: GET OUT ANNA *makes an evil snowman*
I just read that in Olafs voice 😂
Tempest Rose I just remembered Olaf Said that in the recap 😂
The first thing I thought of when I read this was the “Get the fuck out of my room I’m playing Minecraft” meme
She just panic and she doesn't know what she created.
GET OUT ANNA PEW PEW

Good: Elsa is stronger and more assertive, excellent song, revealing about their strained relationship/complicated feelings for each other
Bad: Elsa is more selfish and less endearing because she shows more concern for her freedom than her Kingdom or repairing her relationship with Anna
although I mostly agree, I feel that if I was in Elsa's shoes, I would act like this for a time, and then come around. plus, it could be her not wanting to admit that she couldn't fix it.
yep, absolutely
raquelborn to me it seems like Anna’s being the selfish one. She wants Elsa to just put the gloves back on and suppress her powers and pretend like nothing happened
Sam Swink I agree because Elsa clearly doesn’t want to have that responsibility and Anna is practically forcing her.
Because she don't want to hurt Anna... because in that time she cannot fully control her powers so..yeah...but U got a point :)
Elsa: *freezes Anna’s heart*
Kristoff: :)

I love how they put effort in everything except Kristoff's face in 3:18
Story artists board out a sequence and then pitch it to the directors/producers/ect. Sometimes they'll quickly sketch out a board to add in during a meeting. That or it just wasn't an important shot so they didn't want to waste time on it.
Molly cuz life’s to short
Kristoff there: :)
Kristoff: • - •
They look more “disney” in this animation and i love it
Especially at 2:35
it's because this is storyboarding, so it's drawn instead of programmed, like traditional 'Disney' animation was'
more disnish:)
More retro Disney, yes
As much i love "for the first time in forever", i prefer "life to short". In this song anna and elsa actully talks about their what they felt all these years. And elsa is a strong person unlike "for the first time in forever". When anna told her that their kingdome is in snow, elsa became scared again and its cancelled her character develop in "let it go" when elsa bacame strong person.
Well she was having issues from the moment her sister showed up and expect that now that she knew about the powers that they could be friends again. She has been feeling guilty for a long time for what she accidentally did to her sister. She would've kept her parents out too if she could have. And her parents might have meant well but they were going in the wrong direction from day one. And because her sister didn't remember everything she never understood why her sister shut her out and assumed it was the powers.
No one:
Not even Elsa:
Kristoff: *Suprised pikachu face*
lol
finally someone who is commenting about that lol
They cut this because Elsa said “Fool” a word forbidden by anyone other then the worst of villians
Edit: guys I’m JOKING! I’m saying that so many villians say the word “fool” in disney becuase its the most edgy thing Disney can say for kids. 😂
@No seems to be the only one who understands what I was trying to do 😂
in the version of the story where this song was supposed to come in, Elsa WAS the villain lol (or at least the anti-hero)
@@Momo-xm6ls I think that was The point.
She also says fool in The First Time In Forever Reprise
Florence Marinier GASP SHE IS A VILLIAN 😂
You don’t have to be a villain to say the word “fool”

+Emma Albertine Henningsen This was from a different storyline for Frozen. However, portions of this song ended up in "Frozen Fever" as "Making Today A Perfect Day"
+Kevin Meno there is something about a "prophecy" here... and I think only Anna knows about Elsa's power here...
+Emma Albertine Henningsen There's another cut song that's sole purpose is to explain the prophesy and then they decided not to use it and later we had the final version of the film.
+Emma Albertine Henningsen Don't forget, originally, this was supposed to be a fairly faithful retelling of the Snow Queen. If you read the Hans Christian Anderson (HCA for short), you will get a totally different story. That's why in the earlier versions of the story, Elsa is evil.
I read somewhere that when the song Let it Go was written for the film, the writers decided that there was no way a heartless villain could sing such a song. So, they scrapped the entire idea of the evil snow queen and went with the "misunderstood" person who can't control their power.
IMO, this story worked so well because it's Superman's story. He has to hide his powers as a kid, as does Elsa. The only difference is that he gains mastery of them and his parents don't die at an early age. The older Elsa got, the worse her control got. Ironically, the trolls kinda screwed her. I'm shocked that the king never went back there to get help on how she can control them. In any event, she spent the next decade of her life alone in that room. Fear consumed her more and more each day.
I also wanted to mention that's why they decided to go with 2 snow queens in "Once Upon a Time" series. The aunt was the snow queen of the prophecy.
I doubt they will ever delve into the prophecy unless they introduce the aunt in the movies. I think dropping that entire storyline and making her misunderstood was brilliant. I'm sure more movies will follow where the antagonist isn't evil.
Emma Albertine Henningsen because this story was too dark for children
After reading all of the comments on this video, i REALLY wanna see the version of frozen with the profecy thing...
dont judge me.
I do too! Someone really needs to start a petition for Disney to give the original storyline with all the original songs the greenlight
Maybe coud be whit the sons of anna and elsa o something like that owo i pray for see that in frozen 2
I do too!! I'm too young but can someone older please start a petition to get Disney to make this version of the movie!!! Please!! Do it for a 11 year old and her 8 year old friend!!!
I KNOOOOOW
I think they can sort out sort of an "alternate universe" thing, or a dream spin-off or something
I really wish this song was in the movie it’s catchy and it gives Elsa SO Much more personally
If you have Spotify, it’s on there
Fennec not the version w idina and Kristen
Fennec yes I know that I’m saying I wish it was in the movie.
If they went for the villain ending for Elsa yeah, but i see why they cut it. This Elsa is a lot less lovable because instead of being horrified at Arendelle being frozen in this version she shrugs it off. Not her problem and when its suggested she try to contain her power to unfreeze the fjord she immediately backs on everything she'd said.
After this song, even if Elsa felt bad for hurting Anna it'd still be very weird for Elsa to become Queen at the end like it does in the movie
@@Bloodjen I think Elsa could have been a Wanda Maximoff kind of anti-hero, she is not bad but she has suffered so much for so long that now that she was finally happy she didn´t want to go back to the way things used to be and then she ignores the suffering that she cause or is causing to other people, in this case I also think it would have been better for her not to go back to rule Arendelle again and just stay in her ice castle making living snow creatures and let people go there visit her as they please, instead of just going back for good and leaving her beautiful castle for Marshmellow to rule alone
This type of Elsa wouldn’t have worked in the film but I do like this Elsa more
I kinda really don't prefer this Elsa
Same.. wish they went with this elsa instead
Very true. I find this Elsa interesting, but I don't think she would have worked in the Movie.
true, kids would hate her :(
I'm torn. I like "Life's Too Short" because it's fun and a nice break from Elsa being manic-depressive about everything, but then again, that's one of the traits I like about her the most and "First Time in Forever (Reprise)" shows that off perfectly.
Quite true. I think they made the right decision with the Reprise, but Life's Too Short is part of a cool alternate "what if" version of Frozen's story, before it took the form we know and love. I especially like the OST version. Also, it's pretty cool that even thought the lyrics get darker, the melody continues to seem relatively cheery.
Aaron Wolf It's also more in-character for Elsa to still be so desperate to keep Anna away from her, since her main fear above all else was to hurt her with her powers. Under that logic, this song here really couldn't happen. Especially at the end when Elsa is liberally using her powers to stop Anna's advance. It's a risk she simply would not take. It makes more sense that she ended up creating Marshmallow to take her away instead, since it was safer than bringing her power to bear on Anna directly.
*****
Was Elsa striking Anna as a child even part of the story at this point in development? I thought this version was about Elsa having to hide her powers growing up and becoming bitter and somehow eventually blaming Anna for how her life turned out. That's why she gets so angry when Ana offers her the gloves.
I actually like this story better because this song makes it clear that it is stupid to hold grudges against people your are supposed to love because they may not be alive tomorrow, and that's really true.
suicideposter Good point. Both versions are really interesting, despite having different core messages.
I feel exactly the same way. I don't want that part of the actual Frozen changed because I love the reprise and the drama and everything, but at the same time I would have liked to see the sisters' relationship from another perspective as well. I just feel that somehow in this early draft of the storyline - and you have to include Anna's More Than Just The Spare and the reprise of this number - was much more deep in the characters, especially Anna, who had a real lesson to learn.
But at the same time, there are other things this version of the story was missing, things I love about the final product.
I don't know, now I just wish they could give us a whole new Frozen with these outtakes and the old plot. Like we have 2 Frozen's and we don't have to choose. That would be the best thing ever.
I wish this was in the real movie ;-;
Me too. Such a catchy song.
Yeah, but think opportunity cost: were that the case we'd not have "First Time In Forever: Reprise".
Lovina Nyo!Romano I remember this song better then For the First Time in forever reprise. I think it deserved to be in the movie....*sigh
i love both, lifes too short and for the first time in forever reprisee
they should use this in frozen 2 where anna and elsa argue and if its necessary change the lyrics slightly
@@lindsay0713 that made a frozen 2. It's awful. And then they made a frozen short. 🤦♀️💀
the "you dont know/you have no idea what ive been through because of you" line is really heartbreaking when you remember that while they both suffered, neither of them are the reason. their parents forcefully separating them, but:
anna doesn't know that their parents closed elsa in that room and thinks she chose to be there, and
elsa doesn't realise that their parents were in the wrong for closing her of to the world like that, so she blames anna.
i really wish the movie would've actually talked about this dynamic because its really tragic
Well technically it was bc of Anna, she was jumping too fast and Elsa couldn’t keep up so she lost her footing and struck her, as a result of Anna being a “reckless fool”
And from Anna’s perspective Elsa just shut her out all those years for no reason, she didn’t have any way of knowing her parents told her to do so
"lifes too short to even have you in it"
Thats dark
I loved Elsa's childish lalala moment
Kristoff's face at the end tho!
I was waiting for someone to mention that XD
it was too much for me to handel
I legit wheezed-
His face was like: ._.
The line "You don't know what I've been through because of you" really hits me... Both have suffered in the relationship, having siblings always carries some conflict
Kristof when he sees Elsa froze Anna’s heart
•-•
This song stayed in my head WAY longer than Let It Go lol
IKR! I've been playing this song over and over again! I think I'm addicted... /o/
HAHA Same here! I have to have my Life's Too Short fix XD
Cami Dourado me too
2:32 my favorite line lmao
“Life’s too short to let you treat the people out there just as coldly as you always treated me”
What I really like about this song is how it so abruptly ends with an action that will quite literally cut Anna's life short.
People keep forgetting that insecurities and anxieties aren't just "oh I can deal with them right now and I won't be bothered by them ever again" it's falling back into them over and over again when something or someone reminds you of them, you don't feel like you're in control anymore. Elsa was ok with being left alone in the ice castle, she felt like she could be free and alright because she knew that no one would be around for her to accidentally hurt with her powers, but when Anna shows up Elsa remembers her almost dying because of what happened when they were children, and all of the confidence and control she had comes crashing down, so she's scared of hurting Anna again because she knows what her powers can do to another person. But it would have been nice have them arguing and talking about their feelings
Idina's 'Bye bye!' is SO AMAZING OMG XD
the more I listen to this, the more I hear that one jerk who left their phone on and got a text at 0:42
I know! That little sound is what makes me not listen to this version.
Also hi Petra! Glad you're alive, now you can marry Levi :)
Kushie Adhikari I know lol I uploaded this for the sake of giving the internet better quality and lyrics.. but I prefer listening to the original OST version, even if is not sung by them.. that sound bothers me that much.
Lestrange ok, deal! Levi and I can have a Frozen-themed wedding :3...
Petra Ral that would literally make my life
I thought it was my thing at first
She really sang "life's too short" when she blasted her own sister in the heart with an iceray. Elsa is savage 😅
1:111 the only reason I’m glad this wasn’t in the movie
It’s kinda cute lmaoo 😂
Idina's voice sounds slightly younger in this than it does in the movie. Just imo.
It was actually recorded afterwards from what I've heard. The director has been quoted in saying that she had trouble releasing a song because some of the lyrics didn't fit the Elsa we know now. Also, the lyrics in this song were changed to make Elsa less self-centered. The soundtrack doesn't have this change or Idina and Kristin singing which leads me to think that they recorded this recently since they would have released this as the soundtrack if they had already recorded. Wow, I just made a huge run on sentence.
True, but I don't think one to even three years would really change a 40 something year old's voice. Look at Scott Pelley. He hasn't change in years.
well.. not too long because Let it go came 15 month before the release. considering let it go had a significant influence on changing elsa's character THIS version of Life's too Short was performed at most 15 month before the release.
Ok, now I see what you mean.
Frozen was in the making for 10 years so this could have been when she was younger
Me at school
"lalallalallalalalalla"
I'm am not listening LALALALALAL
la la lalalaaa~ lalalaaa~ LAIF'S TWO SHIRT!
Elsa and Anna: having a good time
Olaf: dancing
Elsa: you fool! *freezes Anna's heart.
Olaf: well that escalated quickly...
Many people are wondering why this was cut from the movie and replaced with For the First Time in Forever (Reprise), and I want to answer it. In my opinion, the replacement was a purely positive thing and, while I can understand liking this song more than what we got, this completely deserved to be replaced.
The simplest answer is that this song mentions the prophecy of a cruel leader with a Frozen heart dooming Arendelle that the original drafts of Frozen had, so it would be impossible for it to fit in. And while this is not wrong, it also does not tell the whole story.
A major theme in Elsa's character arc is her deathly fear of herself and, more specifically, her "sorcery". Life's Too Short shows her continuously indulging in her powers even after learning of her Eternal winter while the final cut shows her once again desperately fearing herself just as she did since she was merely eight years old.
Another major theme in Elsa is her avoidant personality, even if more likely caused by nurture rather than nature. Elsa wants to shut everyone out for fear of what her powers could do to them, this fear caused by when she hit Anna in the head. Life's Too Short shows her initially wanting for Anna to stay with her while the final cut shows her pushing Anna away from fear of hurting her. "Why don't you stay? There's room for family in my court". That line would NOT do her any favors in the final cut of Frozen.
Just because this shows Elsa's character too differently to work doesn't mean she's the only one that wouldn't be the same. Anna has always been shown to be anxiously attached and even outright co-dependent at times. For her entire life, she has wanted nothing more than to be loved by Elsa. Life's Too Short shows her graveling with Elsa too much, while Anna's goal has almost always been to get affection from her sister at what seems to be any cost.
One thing I see many people praise is the way that Life's Too Short portrays sibling relations in a more realistic light than in the final movie, and this is true. Siblings do go from love to hate in rather short time spans. The problem is that the relation between Anna and Elsa is conceptually anything but realistic. Elsa has powers she had to hide form Anna to keep her safe, which is not a thing that breeds realistic conflict. The way the less than realistic nature of their relation is handled makes it more believable, and realism is typically far outweighed by believability even if the 2 are unfortunately used interchangeably.
In short, while I respect it if you like this song more than For the First Time in Forever (Reprise), there are several major reasons it was cut from the movie. The prophecy isn't a thing anymore, both Anna and Elsa's character was changed, and blind devotion to realism isn't good.
Love this comment! I feel the same way. Plus, I don't get the "Elsa has more personality". That's the tragedy! She never got the chance to develop one. She's been in a room for 13 years. For me, her lack of personality is what touched me. She's finding herself, while being afraid of herself...
Also it's not as if they don't fight in the final film. Their fight at the coronation is what starts the action of the movie
This song is pretty catchy
It kills me to say this, but you’re right. I love this song so much more than the reprise of First Time in Forever, and I especially love the reprise of Life’s too short later on (definitely watch it if you haven’t already), yet the characters fundamentally changed as the story developed, so the song had to be cut.
I would love to see this re-written to fit the new characters (and exclude the prophecy line) with the same melody. Also, the version of this on the Frozen Deluxe Edition Album is better in my opinion music-wise.
I love this comment. I was also thinking the song is really good and would give Elsa a character more but it also felt like it didn’t exactly fit the final version of Frozen. And all of that thought were typed perfectly here so, thank you!
Elsas hair...
Disney really just cut the realism in the sisters’ relationship.
Phoenix Studioz ye
but elsa and anna aren't really 'siblings,' more like strangers who know they are supposed to be loving siblings. I can't imagine them fighting like in this song, they simply don't know each other well enough to go off like this
Oh, so they would act like that in a situation where they're basically strangers ? Where they never met each other in more than 10 years ? You're comparing an old totally different script with the actual one ?
@@WeMoomingNow The closed door is mostly metaphorical, they're siblings who've known each other for nearly 2 decades. Regardless of how closed their relationship has been for the past few years it's still pretty easy to imagine a confrontation like this happening. The reason it's happening is because of the stilted nature of their relationship.
@@WeMoomingNow This outtake was placed in a slightly different version of the script we know now, apparently.
Elsa in this: call Anna a "reckless fool"
Elsa in the actual movie: "I'm such a fool I can't be free"
Is bad that she replaced the hate towards herself but I honestly couldn't relate more
Aw I'm sure you're a wonderful person
@@willricks6434 im reaally not but that was truly sweet thanks 💙
hope you're doin better
Not gonna lie this would add so much character to Elsa in Frozen 1, which, to say the least, was one of my main critiques.
Agreed
I really love this song but I can see why they chose the reprise of For the First Time in Forever- in the final version, Elsa is 'free' because she can finally be far away from everyone else and doesn't have to worry about hurting anyone. When Anna finds her, she tries to send her home because she's still so terrified of hurting the one person she loves and has left, so she doesn't acquire true freedom until the end, when she learns to control her magic, and only then do we get to see her real personality (albei breifly :/). In Life's Too Short she shuts Anna out again because she's just being kind of a jerk, and really doesn't seem to care much about Arrendelle, which just doesn't see to fit with her character much, and I can't really see her being so eager to push Anna away all over again just because she pissed her off. I like the Elsa that genuinely loves her sister and her kingdom to the point of shutting herself away from both just to protect them much more.
Remember when they said something about a prophecy? Well, Anna said it but still. Disney had a different idea to make Elsa an evil queen as so said in the 'prophesy' that an evil queen will rise and take over. Elsa even had a different design and was not meant to be related to Anna in the first place but in this song I guess they changed her design and a bit of the storyboard.
At this point in development, this WAS Elsa's character. At this point, Elsa was meant to be the antagonist.
I think this song is essential because Anna is now the queen and she always cared more about Arendelle than Elsa who was the queen just because she was the oldest, since her parents died she continued to be queen
Running away from a kingdom you were just crowned queen for doesn't scream "cares about Arendelle" to me. She ran away sure out of fear of hurting others, but also out of fear of what others would do to her. After all, she really only started running away after that stupid duke called her a monster, and the people looked at her in fear. So in this version, at least she is not denying her fear and the fact that she ran away from responsibility. She is directly saying why she doesn't want to go back. She doesn't want to be put back in a cage. In the movie, it seems more like that is what she truly fears, but is denying it by saying she's afraid of hurting others. After all, SHE HAS ALREADY HURT OTHERS by freezing the kingdom, and she knows it! She knows it and still does not want to help the kingdom. If her main motivation was fear of hurting people around her, why would she not return to help the kingdom? She had already hurt them! There's not many more ways she could have hurt them at that point after freezing everything. And if she was so afraid of hurting Anna/other citizens, all they had to do was evacuate for a bit so she could attempt to unfreeze it.
Plain and simple, regardless of which version of the movie we're talking about here, it makes more sense that Elsa's main fear was what other people would do to her/put her in a cage if she returned. It's just that the movie version couldn't commit to that because she might seem too "villain like." In reality, all the movie accomplished for Elsa was making her a passive character instead of one that could actually grow. None of her fears/traumas were addressed or resolved because Elsa NEVER made an actual choice beyond running away. She's not the one who made the sacrifice to break the curse, Anna was.
Wait... When Olaf was dancing (around 1:12) Did he just do the Gangnam Style?! xD
lol 😂
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT KRISTOF’S FACE IN THE LAST FRAME
IKR
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IM CRYING
Actually everyone is.
I feel like this is better that the song they chose...
I know why did they not choose this song . Cause this is savage af
Lmao.... I love it tho...
They wouldn’t dare lol
It was for another storyline they didn’t use this one bc it was too dark for children
Okay but when elsa made a door for Anna to leave that actually kinda hurt
This shouldn’t get stuck in my head more than any other song in the movie or the sequel. But it does.
Man, I'm just loving the fact that Kristoff is just there listening to their song and his face goes from 🙄 to 😧
Im guessing this is a version where he realizes that he loves anna last minute
Why is everything that was left out of Frozen so much better than what was left in?!?!
because the original plot they thought of was better. let it go ruined it.
@@timideratom3661 I mean it wouldn't have been as influential at the time, and it definitely wouldn't have been shown to every child in existence
I think the current scene fits more in the movie
the story was changed from what the original idea was
I'm glad that some parts of this song was used in "Frozen Fever".
Elsa: freezes Ana’s heart
Kristoff: surprised pikachu face
Everyone: Pika pika pikachu!
I wish they had THIS in the movie.
Qui'Errah Marshall ya same
Great now let's replace Let it Go with this and see how much sense it makes
Having Idina and Kristen sing this song made the characters had a tinge of the personalities Elsa and Anna had in the final film. I've listened to the original track of this song, with the 'demo'(?) singers and slight difference in lyrics. If you take notice of the pauses, gasps, breathing, intonation of both versions, each one portrays different set of personalities. XD
Got to admit, this version shows more realistic sister relationship between them than in the actual movie. But...I'm not complaining. I love both versions.
This one just reminds me of me and my sister when we fight. (Though unlike this one, we fight first -for whatever reason we eventually forget- then become best friends in a blink of an eye.)
I feel like this version gives Elsa more character depth she barely does anything in the original and is immediately loved by everyone. If you listen to "Life's too Short Reprise" (another outtake) Elsa actually realizes her mistake and regrets after she gets locked up by Hans. This gives her more personality and emotion. Plus we see her realization that she loves Anna and she made a mistake pushing her away rather than realizing it when Anna sacrifices herself.
TH-cam 2014: Nah she doesn’t need this...
TH-cam 2019: SHE. NEEDS. THIS. RIGHT. NOW.
my yOUTUBE IS ACTING THE SAME WAY
Ugh, I love this song so much, it's arguably my favourite one from the Frozen soundtrack. All I want is to se a full animated version with a studio recording of Kristen and Idina singing...My love for this song is too big lol in my free time I sing elsas part and then annas and put them together x)
I don't know about you, but I think Elsa and Anna look prettier in this; the rough animation. I know they look beautiful in the full animation, but they look... younger here, and more graceful.
Dunno, it's just my opinion.
I agree! I wonder what Frozen would've looked like if they animated it traditionally!
Emmalee Jordan I know, right? Hmm... I wonder... No doubt, they'd still be beautiful. :D
Because 2D... Also they have longer faces.
I know this is late BUT Frozen was supposed to be handrawn and not CGI-ed but because of Disney's last handrawn Princess (Tiana) didn't sell that much they CGI-ed it just like Tangled
Here they don't have excessive make up.
I love the "LalalalalaLIFE's too short"
"life is too short to miss out on a sister like you"
"life is too short to waste an other minute, life is too short to even have you in it"
Everytime she sings "to listen to a reckless fool" I'm always expecting her to say "to listen to a reckless BITCH" and I have no idea why xD
Lol. When I hear that line, I always think she's going to say "reckless brat." xD
Vanessa Flores "Reckless brat" would fit best, I think.
This is 100% the best outtake
So this song changed into “making today a perfect day”
I’m not saying that this is better than let it go
But this is better than let it go
Great let's replace let it go with this and see how much sense it makes in the plot.
Let it go is bad. Into the unknown is better than every song in the first Frozen
CatsAndKittensLover15
We got more memes out of it too
@@laughsingay nah Most of the parts in INTO THE UNKNOWN sucks
@@shirokira6513 yup now I can't eat popcorn
I’m so happy that they used pretty much the same tune from this in frozen fever. It would’ve been stupid to waste such a catchy tune so by reusing was such a good idea.
the fact the verse melody is now in "making today a perfect day" from frozen fever gives it a completely different dimension !!
2:45 Oh golly, even just by the animatic we can see the in Anna´s eyes how hurt and offended she feels by what Elsa said, she is thinking like "is that what you think of me?!" and "how can you even say that?!"
The truth hurts
I so love this version... But I can't really tell who's the most selfish one. Though, this would have been such a twist in Disney's history. I understand why they didn't stick to the original plot... but still, would have been so great :B
This melody is close to the melody of the frozen fever one, this is amazing
I like how different this is to the First Time in Forever Reprise. In the reprise, Elsa was in fear of going back to Arendelle knowing she would just hurt everyone. In this version, Elsa just doesn't want to return because she thinks she won't get to be herself.
This version is better tbh
@salmascreativitypen4489
Yeah same, it doesn't make sense for Elsa's character- her whole arc relates to her fear of hurting people, especially Anna. Which is why she loses it in the reprise when she finds out she caused an eternal winter. I also don't think she'd ever blame Anna for what she has been through, again her arc is her thinking she's the problem, the "monster". This song goes against all of that since she seems completely fine with ignoring the people of the kingdoms well being and blames Anna.
@@anonymous-vv2cg Exactly, in my opinion, this version puts Elsa in a more selfish light.
I remember really liking this song when I was little.
I love that Idina and Kristen collabed to make this, the harmony of their voices is so nice!
Kristof's face at the end is me. xD
(long text ahead)
Okay, so, here is the deal why I, as much as I love this song and how catchy and iconic it is, believe that the reprise of the First Time in Forever fits way more the storyline/psychology of the characters as they were in the final film. Long story short, they would have to make major changes in the storyline to fit this song. (and also why people are being unfair by saying that Elsa "lost her character development from let it go")
*1-* Elsa and Anna were separated since the accident, with virtually no contact with each other. That obviously affected them very deeply, but more than that, because they didn't have contact, they didn't have as much fights as "normal siblings", not much conflicts nor conflict resolutions. That said, their relationship will be different than siblings who were inevitably in contact and in conflict with each other (which is usually the relationship in real life, since normally you don't just isolate your children from each other)
*2.* It is clear since the beginning of the movie that Elsa does have a more reserved nature. She is very obedient and endearing. At the same time, because of Granpabbie's vision + her father/parents' reaction, she also grew very very scared of her own powers. In the original film, Elsa starts wearing the gloves because *she* became afraid, so they gave her the gloves to cope. If Elsa felt she was in a cave and would freak out because of the gloves like in this song, she would show that personality as a child growing up as well. For example, the gloves would be something her parents forced on her and it would actually be a scene were she *refuses* or *acts up* to wear gloves.
*3.* Do you really believe that Anna would remember to bring the gloves with her? In the midst of all that chaos? Anna is a much more impulsive, spontaneous character, so I don't think she would just show up with the gloves. IF they wanted to include that in a way that fits her, it would be something like "I know you can unfreeze everything! Oh, do you think you will need your gloves? Uh, I didn't bring them with me, but I'm sure we can figure it out down there, right!?" Which also doesn't make much sense to me, because the gloves are just a mental placebo kinda thing that helps Elsa keep her powers under control, not something that would help undo something she did.
*4.* Okay, let's talk about each one's trauma now. Clearly, Elsa's trauma is that she hurt her sister with her powers and grew up believing that "she is dangerous", and she being isolated just reinforced that notion in her. She is so afraid that in the original film we have this scene where Elsa asks her parents to stay away because she doesn't want to hurt them. Because of Granpabbie's vision, she also believes that something bad will happen if people knew about her powers. So when people finds out at the party about that, she freaks out and instinctively flees.
However, when she is finally isolated again on a snow mountain, she realizes she cannot hurt anybody there, so she can use her powers freely. A very important notice is that: she sings "let it go" but she didn't really deal in any way with her trauma. The only thing that happened is that she is in a situation now where there is nothing to trigger it (the notion that you cannot hurt anybody if you are alone). There was no actual character development here; there is no inner growth in any way, but just a favorable situation.
So when Anna shows up and approches, Elsa already shows uneasiness, because now there is a possibility of hurting somebody and she obviously still believes she cannot control her powers. She finally loses it when Anna tells her about Arendelle and that is exactly because it is directly triggering her trauma - which is not something that simply disappear overnight. She is so immersed in it that, even when Anna tries to calm her down, she just cannot listen, and that is what trauma does with us sometimes. So the reprise perfectly catches all this trauma in "Stay away and you'd be safe from me".
*5.* Now, Anna's trauma is being shut out, left alone, especially after they lost their parents. She craves human connection and is very lonely. Her quirky personality, being so talkative and friendly (even when she first meets Kristoff at the shop; she just jumps in the conversation) are traits she shows since she is a child and were reinforced by her being separated and shut out by Elsa. Earlier in the original film, Anna is all awkward around her sister because she simply doesn't know what to do. With the years, she simply gave up in trying to make Elsa open up the door and, being left in the dark, she didn't even know if she did something wrong or if it was something else. Only when Elsa starts a conversation with her that Anna feels comfortable and eager to talk more with her sister.
That said, Anna is basically afraid of being alone, being abandoned, and as hurt as she might have been all these years with Elsa shutting her out, she is even more afraid to lose Elsa. So she wants to do everything she can to keep her near (more obvious in Frozen 2) - that said, it is very unlikely that she would just pour out how hurt she has been and start a fight, risking their already broken relationship. This trait is somewhat clear in a scene where Anna is on her horse, looking for Elsa. She starts with an apology, she takes accountability that she was the one who pushed Elsa. Only after that Anna points out that nothing of that would have happened if Elsa had told her about her powers. In other words, it is more important to Anna to repair their relationship to where they were so close than to make Elsa take accountability for all those years.
I don't think Anna forgives Elsa just like that just because they are sisters. I think it is more because she is just so desperate to not lose her, to be with her at all costs, that she is willing to sacrifice herself and her hurt if that meant they would be close again. Then, when their relationship is repaired and strong again, she would casually confess to Elsa how much that had hurt her. Maybe something like:
Anna - You know, all those years, when you shut me out without even knowing why... That... That hurt me. I mean, I understand it now that you did that to protect me from your powers, but couldn't you just... have told me?
Elsa - * sighs, with a sad face * I... I don't know, Anna. I just thought you... you would be safe... away from me.
Anna - But, but we were so close! I'm sure there could have been a way, maybe something I could do to help, I don't know, just---!
Elsa - ... I'm sorry, Anna. Father also thought that was the best for us... To keep my magic a secret, even from you...
Anna - Why would Father think that...?
Elsa - I... I don't know...
Anna - ... Well, I guess, at least we are together now! I just wanted to let you know, you know... The important thing is, no more shutting each other out. Right?
Elsa - * smiles * No more shutting each other out.
In other words, for this song "Life is too short" fit the storyline and psychology of the characters, they would have to make Anna and Elsa actually have contact and interactions since they are little, like normal siblings. They would have to completely change Elsa's isolation since childhood to something else, since that shaped a lot of their psychology.
2:29 them singing a contest on who can sing higher lmao
Ok but imagine the part where they cross eachother upset fully animated 2:28 That’d be such a beautiful shot 😭
2:50 Somehow this scene really hits me xD Even if the song is more entertaining, I get a really depressing feeling. "You don't know what I've been through because of you"
I think this also shows their love for each other. For years Anna didn't know why her sister excluded her like this and blamed herself for it. Elsa has been blaming herself for years for putting her sister in such danger and has been afraid of hurting her or others ever since and has distanced herself from her sister. Both were very lonely all these years and had to fight with the death of their parents, where they did not even have the consoling feeling that a sibling can give. . .
I think it's a real pity that it was cut out but I also think movie scene is also damn good. But I would have been happy if this scene or rather the fight somehow made it into the movie.
2:47 Elsa genuinely looks upset and like she wants Anna to understand that this is who she is, she loves Anna and regrets shutting her out but she wants to be free to be herself at the same time. That expression for me just shows all the pain she’s bottled up for so long and the conflict she must be having inside
Have a sister and hide forever or be herself and be alone for her whole life.
She wants Anna to let her have both. She wants Anna to understand that she can control it now, and that she loves her but also deserves freedom like everyone else.
The lyrics at that moment fit well with this too, but it doesn’t do nearly as much for me as the pained expression.
Really wish they chose this instead of the reprise
The start remind s me of frozen fever
Good catch! The instrumental is similar to “Making Today a Perfect Day” from Frozen Fever ❄️🤍
this is catchy and very sisterly but somehow sounds like high school musical
just realised they sampled parts of this in "making today a perfect day" in frozen fever
Anna and Elsa: LIFE'S TO SHORT TO EVEN HAVE YOU IN IT!!!!
Olaf: *💃*
This is so good this is like a real sibling argument
i keep having this in my head for some reason
and idk why i'm here again for the 4th time
