Frozen oops
5 August 2019 06:46 pmI've just realised (while correcting other continuity issues in "Familiar" prior to posting) that I've written Anna throughout the second chapter and in the final line of the first as -- very sensibly -- wearing mittens in the snow, as we see her do in canon.
But during the first half of the chapter and, more importantly, during the scene that immediately precedes this in canon, Anna is bare handed; there is a close-up where she looks down at her hands in the snowstorm and sees ice crystals forming on her skin, and she then tries to catch Hans' sword in her open palm. So when and where does she lose her mittens (probably when she arrives back in the castle to beg Hans to kiss her?), and do I attempt to rewrite the rest of the story to remove them from the scene that follows, or attempt to explain how she gets them back? Presumably the cloak has pockets, or at least my mother's red cloak did...
(I strongly suspect that Disney's attitude to consistency in minor clothing details is entirely cavalier, as witness Hans' magically appearing sword, but unfortunately we do have an iconic scene where Anna clearly isn't wearing them.)
