Elsa Was Supposed To Be A Baddie!? 9 Amazing Frozen Facts You Probably Never Knew

Think you know EVERYTHING about Frozen? You might want to think again.

From how "Let It Go" changed Elsa, to each of the movie's individual snowflakes, I bet you didn't know all of these facts about Disney'sFrozen. So, don't be left out in the cold - dive straight into these 9 facts about Elsa's universe!

1. "Let It Go" changed the entire direction of the movie!

When the anthem's songwriters presented the monolithic song to the creative crew, they all realized they needed to change the script to fit the powerful song.

2. Elsa was originally supposed to be a baddie.

But, I mean, an evil snow queen can't sing a song about freedom and empowerment, right? The producers concluded that the song was not only very appealing, but its themes of personal empowerment and self-acceptance were too positive for a villain to express. Thus, the story was rewritten….

Hmm, I'm not so sure. True story: a Frozen obsessed wife said to her hubby, "If you can't understand what makes this movie great, there's something wrong with you as a human being," before divorcing the poor dude. Sounds pretty evil to me!

3. Animators had an actual reindeer visit the studio to use as inspiration for the character Sven.

The animators of Frozen wanted to observe the movements and the mannerisms of reindeer for Sven featured in the movie. Apparently, however, the reindeer just stood there and didn't move enough, so they ended up modelling Sven on Executive Producer John Lasseter's dog. I can totally see it.

4. Elsa was originally meant to look likewhat now!?

Yep, blue hair, dudes.

When voice actor Idina Menzel joined the cast of the movie, Elsa's CGI creation was equipped with blue, spiky hair and a coat made of living weasels. Count yourselves lucky we got a nice fair-haired, quite normally-clothed Snow Queen, Frozens!

5. Disney does not support the consumption of boogers...!?

Disney is the master of throwing Easter eggs into everything they do, and Frozen is no exception!

There is a note in the movie end credits stating that eating boogers is not a view "reflected by The Walt Disney Company." Smart move, Disney. You do not want a booger-related lawsuit on your hands. Or boogers on your hands either for that matter.

6. Anna and Prince Hans' song is a first for princess-villain duets.

When Anna sings "Love is an Open Door" with Prince Hans, it is the first time a Disney princess has ever performed a duet with a villain...

What, you didn't get the subtle hints about his true nature?

7. The movie is based on a Hans Christian Anderson story.

The Snow Queen, which was also the original title of Frozen before they changed the name, is based on a fairytale by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. The names Hans, Kristoff, Anna, and Sven are also a nod to Andersen's work.

8. The animation team created a snowflake generator program to build 2,000 different snowflake shapes they could use.

That, right there, is some cold, hard dedication.

9. Some Tangled characters make an appearance!

Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled make a surprise appearance in Frozen. When they open the city gates for Elsa's coronation, you can see the couple's backs toward the camera. Such an awesome little tie-in between Tangled and Frozen to think that the characters not only exist in the same Disneyverse, but that they're close enough to drop by for a visit!

Ten Facts about Sherlock Holmes

1. Sherlock Holmes was originally going to be called Sherrinford. The name was altered to Sherlock, possibly because of a cricketer who bore the name. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who created Holmes (of course), was a fan of cricket and the name ‘Sherlock’ appears to have stuck in his memory. Doyle was also a keen cricketer himself, and between 1899 and 1907 he played ten first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club – quite fitting, since Baker Street is situated in the Marylebone district of London. For more on the creation of Holmes, see the detailed ‘Introduction’ in The Uncollected Sherlock Holmes.

2. The first Sherlock Holmes novel was something of a flop. The detective made his debut in the novel A Study in Scarlet (1887), written by a twenty-seven-year-old Doyle in just three weeks. Famously, Doyle was inspired by a real-life lecturer of his at the University of Edinburgh, Dr Joseph Bell, who could diagnose patients simply by looking at them when they walked into his surgery; the other important influence on the creation of Sherlock Holmes was Edgar Allan Poe’s fictional detective, C. Auguste Dupin (for more on this, see our post on Poe’s contribution to detective fiction here). Doyle wrote the book while he was running a struggling doctor’s surgery down in Portsmouth. The novel was rejected by many publishers and eventually published in Beeton’s Christmas Annual (named after the husband of Mrs Beeton, of the book of cookery and household management). It didn’t sell well, and more or less sank without trace.

3. The second Sherlock Holmes novel was the result of a dinner party with Oscar Wilde. One person who had admired the first novel was the editor Joseph Stoddart, who edited Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine. He convinced Doyle, at a dinner party in 1889, to write a second novel featuring the detective, for serialisation in the magazine. Wilde, who was also present, also agreed to write a novel for the magazine – his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, which appeared in 1890, the same year as The Sign of the Four, Doyle’s novel.

4. Sherlock Holmes didn’t wear a deerstalker. Much. The famous image of Holmes wearing a deerstalker hat is a product of the celebrated images which accompanied the short stories, which appeared in the Strand magazine from 1891. It is when the stories began to appear that Sherlock Holmes became a worldwide sensation. Sidney Paget, who drew the illustrations, had Holmes wearing a deerstalker when the detective went into the country to investigate mysteries at country houses and in small rural villages, but most people think of the detective as always donning the hat when off to investigate a case.

5. Sherlock Holmes is the most-filmed fictional character. According to IMDb, Holmes has appeared in 226 films and been played by dozens of different actors since the advent of cinema in the late nineteenth century.

6. Sherlock Holmes is not the most-filmed fictional character. That is, not if you include non-humans (or partial humans). Dracula has been filmed more times than the great sleuth, at 239 times, but since Dracula is part-man, part-vampire, Holmes is the most-filmed fully human character.

7. Sherlock Holmes didn’t make deductions. At least, not most of the time. Instead, and if we want to be technically accurate, he used the logical process known as abduction. The difference between deductive and abductive reasoning is that the latter is based more on inference from observation, where the conclusion drawn may not always necessarily be true. However, in deduction, the conclusion drawn from the available data is always necessarily true. But then again, since Holmes’s reasoning always seems to be correct, perhaps it is deduction after all!

8. Holmes never says ‘Elementary, my dear Watson’. Not in the ‘canon’ of original Conan Doyle novels and stories. Holmes says ‘Elementary!’ and ‘my dear Watson’ at various points, but the idea of putting them together was a later meme, which possibly arose because it neatly conveys Holmes’s effortless superiority to his ‘dear’ friend and foil. The first recorded use of this exact phrase is actually in a P. G. Wodehouse novel of 1915, Psmith, Journalist.

9. The Sherlock Holmes Museum both is and isn’t at 221B Baker Street. Although the museum in London bears the official address ‘221B’, in line with the celebrated address from the stories, the museum’s building lies between 237 and 241 Baker Street, making it physically – if not officially – at number 239.

10. There’s more to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle than Sherlock Holmes. Much more, in fact. Among other achievements, his legal campaigning led to the establishment of the Court of Criminal Appeal. He was knighted for his journalistic work during the Second Boer War, not for his achievements in fiction, law, or medicine. We owe the word ‘grimpen’ to him (from Grimpen Mire, in The Hound of the Baskervilles). He wrote historical novels (such as The White Company and Sir Nigel, set during the fourteenth century) which he prized more highly than his detective fiction. Winston Churchill agreed, and was a devoted fan of the historical novels. Doyle also wrote science fiction romances, such as The Lost World (1912), which would inspire Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, and, subsequently, Steven Spielberg’s film (the sequel to the novel and film being named, in homage to Doyle, The Lost World). Doyle also took up legal causes himself: read Julian Barnes’s novel Arthur and George for his most famous real-life case.

Robert Downey Jr. Confirms Sherlock Holmes 3 Is Happening, Reveals He's a Fan of Benedict Cumberbatch

Warner Bros. Pictures

Robert Downey Jr. may have backtracked on the idea that he's willing to do Iron Man 4(sorry, Tony Stark fans!), but it looks like he's serious about this one.

The actor participated in the ever-so-popular Reddit AMA yesterday to promote his upcoming film The Judge, and to answer a number of fans' burning questions—like are we ever going to see a Sherlock Holmes 3 or what?!

"Yes, we have a Sherlock 3 in development. We want it to be the best of the series, so that's a pretty tall order," RDJ answered, "Also, Perry Mason is a property I'm looking forward to developing further, going back to the 1931 book series…similarly to what we did with the first 2 Sherlocks, mining the original material for things that are 'new.'"

This seems to be right in line with what his co-star Jude Law hinted at late last year. "We had a meeting earlier this year, the three of us, and I think it's being written now," Law toldDigital Spy in 2013 of Sherlock 3. "Warner Bros. have still got to agree to pay for it…I think they want to!"

WATCH: Robert Downey Jr. tells David Letterman Iron Man 4 isn't happening

BBC

Speaking of the crime drama, Downey couldn't help but give credit where credit is due, and praised his fellow thesp Benedict Cumberbatch, who also plays the same role for the BBC series. "Very impressed with Benedict," he wrote. "Such smart writing on that show. I have screen envy."

Because of his back-and-forth with Iron Man, RDJ was asked about the film and his recent remarks to Deadline, where he hinted that he'd consider doing another installment of the popular franchise if his pal Mel Gibson directed it. He explained, "It was an offhanded remark to a journalist and friend. I have other projects in mind for Mel and I."

He also discussed the matter in more detail with David Letterman last night. "There [are] no plans for an Iron Man 4," he revealed. Asked why not, the 49-year-old star said, "That's a valid question. Like it hasn't made enough money? Yeah, I guess they have too much money or something. There is no script for Iron Man 4. They do have a plan and I think they're going to announce it [soon]."

But when asked, yet again, if Iron Man 4 is a possibility, RDJ responded, "Just between us, no. But I'm going to do other stuff with Marvel. I'm still going to be involved with Marvel and there's going to be plenty of fun stuff to happen."

What makes a woman beautiful?

There are many beautiful women but only a select few have something magical that makes them rise above the rest.

What makes a woman beautiful?

Perhaps some answers can be found within these relevant quotes* about beauty:

1. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.   — Margaret Wolfe Hungerford
2. Beauty is not real. Beauty only exists in perception.  — Unknown
3. How beautiful you are, now that you love me.  — Marlene Dietrich
4. Beauty is all very well at first sight; but who ever looks at it when it has been in the house three days? — George Bernard Shaw
5. Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.  — Khalil Gibran
6. It’s beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart. — Anonymous
7. The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul, to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony.  –Mary Baker Eddy

Here are pictures of just few (of many) women considered to be the most beautiful (by popular opinion):

A true “classic” beauty from India: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, an Indian actress and former Miss World.

American beauty: Angelina Jolie. She has been cited as one of the world’s most attractive people, as well as the world’s “most beautiful” woman, titles for which she has received substantial media attention.

Jessica Alba is considered a sex symbol and often generates media attention for her looks. She appears frequently on the “Hot 100″ section of Maxim and was voted number one on AskMen.com’s list of “99 Most Desirable Women” in 2006, as well as “Sexiest Woman in the World” by FHM in 2007.

Halle Berry, an American actress, former fashion model, and beauty queen.

Zhang Ziyi,  a Chinese film actress. Zhang is coined by the media as one of the “Four Young Dan” actresses in the Film Industry in China, along with Zhao Wei, Xu Jinglei, and Zhou Xun.

A Treat to Iron Man Fans hes back in action - Iron Man 4 ,the sequel continues

That was fast. Amidst many rumors and RDJ-fueled comments about only doing the fourth film with Mel Gibson or Howard Stern, the actor decided to just go ahead and tell us that yes, Iron Man 4 is happening.

“I know there’s going to be a bunch more Marvel movies and they have big ideas of how to do it best, and you know, we’re in the middle of negotiations… okay, yes.”

To be fair, negotiations could always fall through, so we should take this news with a grain of salt. The big question has been whether or not RDJ is willing to extend his contract with Marvel Studios, and doing another Iron Man certainly changes the landscape of the MCU and what we could see happen in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

So apparently RDJ really is just messing with us. On Letterman, the actor reversed his statements:

"There [are] no plans for an Iron Man 4."

Letterman asked him why and he responded:

"That's a valid question. Like it hasn't made enough money? Yeah, I guess they have too much money or something. There is no script for Iron Man 4. They do have a plan and I think they're going to announce it [soon]."

But Letterman persisted and asked again if a fourth sequel could still happen:

"Just between us, no. But, I'm going to do other stuff with Marvel. I'm still going to be involved with Marvel and there's going to be plenty of fun stuff to happen."

Just wow. Well, many of our suspicions have been confirmed, but knowing Downey Jr., we can probably expect to the movie to be re-confirmed and then canceled again at least three more times this week.

J.K.'s Mystery Tweet... Just Reveal The Return Of Harry Potter?

And finally the world had an answer to the riddle:

.@EmyBemy2 YES!!!!!!!!!!!! People, we have a winner!

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 7, 2014

It seemed like the waves of enthusiasm for the riddle took a toll on poor Ms. Rowling...

Well, I'm limp, frankly - limp. A few suggestions were spookily close to the script!

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 7, 2014

But J.K. obviously enjoyed that game as much as we did:

OK, the next riddle is... kidding. As I said (was it only 2 days ago?) I've got a novel to finish and a screenplay to tweak.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 7, 2014

And made sure to thank all of us for following along. We love you too J.K. !

Thank you, thank you, for being the kind of people who get excited about an anagram #myspiritualhome

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 7, 2014

And finally a further tidbit of information pertaining to one Newt Scamander... just enough to get us excited:

Newt only meant to stay in New York for a few hours. Circumstances ensured that he remained... for the length of a movie, anyway. X

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 7, 2014

Awesome.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE FOLLOWS:

J.K. Rowling has sent Harry Potter fans - including me, obviously - crazy with her latest tweet where she dropped a GIGANTIC RIDDLE:

Cry, foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand wont tolerate this nonsense.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 6, 2014

Dammit, J.K., what does this MEAN?

I've been puzzling over this for a good 30 minutes now, and all I've got is a headache and a loss of faith in my Scrabble skills...

But! An eagle-eyed Redditor noted J.K.'s riddle is a perfect anagram for:

Harry returns! Won't say any details now. A week off. No comment

SERIOUSLY?! There are not enough joyful emoticons to express how I feel if J.K. really is bringing Harry back...

But HOW could Harry return?

1. Harry Potter: The Auror Years

We know that Harry becomes the head of the Auror office. It would be amazing to find out what other epic battles against evil Harry fought in. I mean, just look at how great he was as a kid - imagine what he could do as a grown-up!

--------------------------------------

2. Harry Potter Origins: The Tale of Godric's Hollow

Everyone loves a prequel, right? There's lots of detail in the Harry Potter canon about the James/Lily/Snape story, but a proper school story about The Marauders, leading up to Harry's birth and the betrayal of the Potters would be pretty magical.

--------------------------------------

3. Harry Potter and the Fantastic Beasts

Sure, J.K. has confirmed that Newt Scamander's story begins in New York, decades before Harry's birth, but the original book of Fantastic Beasts has running commentary from Harry and his friends, much likeTales of Beedle The Bard has Dumbledore's thoughts on the source material. Film is a flexible medium, and there's no reason J.K. can't add in a bit of Harry to the upcoming Beasts movie...

Alia Bhatt turns fashion designer

She’s wowed the Box Office this year with Highway, 2 States and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania; she scaled the music charts with her soulful rendition of Samjhawan; and now, Alia Bhatt has joined hands with Jabong.com to launch her line of apparel 'Alia Bhatt for Jabong' which will retail exclusively on Jabong.com, India’s leading onlinefashion destination. The new collection was launched today at a fashion show at Four Seasons in Mumbai where she showcased her collection on the ramp as designer and showstopper.

 

Bollywood celebrities have always been considered as style icons and served as a muse for the high priests of fashion. While Jabong is renowned for its association with movie stars as well as its clothing lines inspired by marquee movies, this move, driven by imagination and innovation, is the first time Jabong has launched an entire line fashioned by an iconic star.

 

The collection designed by Alia herself befits the actress’s personal sense of style and élan that translate into designs which tell the story of her vibrant life. The apparel range targets the GenY with looks in tandem with an eclectic set of moods, be it the bohemian line, the casual denim line or clubbing / party line. Ripped jeans, leather jackets and floral; the collection makes a direct connect with Alia’s wardrobe. The collection includes apparel (western) and shoes for young girls.

 

Commenting on the launch of Alia Bhatt’s collection on Jabong, Mr. Arun Chandra Mohan, Founder and CEO, Jabong.com, said “We have been looking for someone who is young, confident, stylish and has a great connect with the youth. Who better than Alia Bhatt who has ingenious sense of style and knack for fashion to be associated with. We are happy to introduce Alia Bhatt’s collection exclusively on Jabong.  This new collection is all about catering to the needs of young girls who want to make a style statement.”

 

Talking about her association with Jabong, Alia Bhatt said, “I’ve had a great time creating a fashion line with Jabong; the shoot we did with Farrokh Chothia was very special and exactly how I imagined. And now comes the best part, sharing the experience and the brand with my fans and everyone out there who just loves clothes. Online shopping is the new rage which is enhancing the shopping experience altogether, and Jabong has the ability and the reach to deliver the experience right to your doorstep."

 

Having tied up with the ace designer, Rohit Bal, and having launched some leading international fashion brands like Miss Selfridge, River Island, Jabong is immensely geared up for many more A-class designer collections and global fashion brand launches this year. With the new Alia Bhatt collection, Jabong aims at striking a chord with the audience who idolizes Alia as their favorite fashionista!

Alia Bhatt to star in Chetan Bhagat’s ‘Half Girlfriend’

Chetan Bhagat  a sensational writer of this age . His books are the latest trends among youths. His stories have already given 3 box office hits 'Three idiots','kai po che','2 states'.

Therefore it is no wonder that interest will be palpable about his next book ‘Half Girlfriend’. Now Chetan Bhagat wishes to turn into a film producer and his friend director Mohit Suri will be a co-producer along with him in the adaptation of the this new book. Reports tell that Ekta Kapoor in a coupe of a sort visited the duo after midnight to discuss about the film and she will be a co-producer too in this project.

Since the producers for the film is now fixed, speculations are rife about who is going to play the female lead character of Riya in the film. The book is not yet release and mega release event is planned on 1st October this year. Although the book is not released a close source informs about the character of Riya as, "Riya is a student at St. Stephen's and has an air of self-importance around her. But that is just her exterior." Since Huma Qureshi and Kriti Sanon will be present during the book release mega event, it was rumored that one of them will be playing the role of Riya. However, the source clarified that, "No, they are just launching the book."

It is learnt now that Alia Bhatt will be playing the protagonist, as the source stated, "It's a role tailor-made for Alia and both Mohit and Chetan believe that Alia, who had earlier played Ananya Swaminathan in '2 States' based on another Chetan bestseller, will do complete justice to Riya. Alia herself is keen to work with Mohit, who is her cousin."

Mohit Suri when asked about Alia playing the central character in the filmy adaptation of ‘Half Girlfriend’ replied that, "Alia is an amazing actress. I'm currently developing the script and haven't reached the casting stage. All I can say at the moment is that she'd be great for the part."

With all the excitement in the air we can hardly wait for the movie to appear on the silver screen.
