And that’s what this song really expresses, is sort of his soulfulness. I love that Kristoff is a Disney leading man with a sensitive side.
The film of course features plenty of empowering moments for young girls, but do you feel like having Kristoff sing a song might also be empowering to the little boys who are watching? So it was fun to kind of just have that balance of awareness and camp, but also actual emotion that maybe that little girl is plugged into, of “He’s really going through it.” And there was a purity to it that we sort of laugh at now, but that purity is also actually what the character is feeling. But in those moments of those videos, it was a more innocent time. I mean, it seems like it’s funny now because they are such a music of a specific time period. Because those songs from the ’80s, they’re not making a joke. Even when we were recording it, I talked a lot with about toeing the line between emotion and camp, and telling the joke of the song, but also doing it with real sincerity. They’re like, “Kristoff is really going through it!” It’s so funny because it makes sense. And she said her daughter got so mad at that part because she couldn’t understand why all the adults were laughing at Kristoff. It’s so funny you say that, because earlier this week I was talking with a co-worker who had taken her daughter to a screening of the film.

So they took that little quirk from the first movie and then expanded it into this intimate epic ’80s number. Then in the second movie that quirk ends up becoming an entire ’80s soft-rock jam, and it’s sort of Kristoff’s way of expressing his deep, deep emotional feelings that he has for Anna. And then part of what inspired that song that I get in the second film is this weird personality quirk that Kristoff has where he expresses his emotions and subconscious through that weird voice for his pet reindeer, Sven - just as many of us who have pets do weird voices for - and that was sort of a funny joke in the first movie. And they told me they were going to try and write me a song for the second movie, and I couldn’t imagine how they were going to do it.
They just sort of dug in deeper with the characters from the first movie and cooked things and expanded on them. JONATHAN GROFF: Well, that’s actually funny you say that about the reindeer thing because I feel like with Frozen 2, they didn’t take the easy route, which would have been to do a re-creation of the first movie or introduce a bunch of new characters. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The only solo snippet we got from you in the first Frozen was the short number “Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People.” Were you aware going into the second film that people were upset that you didn’t sing more in the original?
