With that, it all clicked – providing an even greater closure for Elsa’s story than a mooted reprise of ‘Let It Go’. “It was emotional, but it didn't quite have the impact,” says Buck of the idea. “It didn't connect with the beginning.” Where that would have taken Elsa back to her more immature past, ‘Show Yourself’ instead opens up her future. “It’s a further evolution of her character, accepting why she has her powers and what she's meant to do with them in the world,” says Del Vecho. “It seemed like a really good conclusion to that journey.” And with the emotional resolution comes a physical transformation, Elsa’s magic conjuring a flowing snow-white (not that one) dress – her true final form. “It's a different kind of triumph,” smiles Lee, “the arrival of Elsa in her true skin.”
The first Frozen was defined by three words: ‘Let It Go’. But the evolution of Elsa in Frozen II, through ‘Into The Unknown’ and ‘Show Yourself’, can be defined by the latter song’s biggest crescendo – three new words that hold even more power: “I am found.”
