Walt Disney Animation Studios: Getting to Know Walt Disney's Tinker Bell and the Old-Time Art of Animation and NeverEnding Christmas PhilharMagic: The Story of Frozen Ever After

_________________________________

On the edge of a fjord, a deep mountain lake ringed by majestic peaks, the kingdom of Arendelle was a happy place. During the day, shopkeepers, fishermen, and ice sellers kept the city bustling. At night, the northern lights often lit up the sky in beautiful patterns. The rulers of Arendelle, King Agnarr and Queen Iduna, were kind. Their young daughters, Elsa and Anna, were the joy of their lives.

_________________________________

Tinkers' Nook was bustling with activity. The tinker fairies were making snowflake baskets for the fairies of winter. A flock of snowy owls soon arrived for the baskets, bringing a final shipment order for Fairy Mary with them. "Goodness," Fairy Mary said. "They need twenty more baskets for tomorrow's pickup!" Tink watched as the magnificent birds headed off toward the Winter Woods. "There's a whole other world over there," she said to herself.

_________________________________

Later that day, Tink volunteered to help her friend Fawn take animals to the Winter Woods to hibernate. But Fawn told Tink that they could only bring animals to the border, and weren't allowed to go into the Winter Woods. Then she got distracted by a sleeping marmot. "No hibernating yet!" she called into the animal's ear. "You do that in winter!"

Even though she knew it could be dangerous, Tink was very curious about the Winter Woods. With Fawn distracted, Tinker Bell jumped across the border!

_________________________________

Tink gazed in wonder at the beautiful wintry landscape, enchanted by the delicate snowflakes that drifted down all around her. Suddenly, her wings began to sparkle in a burst of colorful light–and she heard the faint sound of a baby's laugh!

_________________________________

The magical moment ended when Fawn yanked Tinker Bell back into autumn. Fawn touched Tink's wings and gasped. They were freezing! Fawn rushed Tink straight to the fairy hospital. A healing-talent fairy examined Tink's wings. Then she warmed them until they were back to normal again.

_________________________________

Tink was on a mission to find out what had made her wings sparkle. She flew off to the Book Nook, where she found a wing-shaped book she hoped would give some answers. Unfortunately, a bookworm had chewed through the pages. A fairy told Tink that the author of the book–the Keeper—might be able to help her. But he lived in the Winter Woods.

_________________________________

Tinker Bell put on a warm outfit, packed the book in a bag, and snuck into the tinkers' workshop. Then the adventurous fairy climbed inside a snowflake basket. Tink's fairy friends watched closely.

In a moment, Tink was soaring through the air. The young owl that had picked up the basket had no idea there was a stowaway inside!

_________________________________

As the owl crossed into the Winter Woods, Tinker Bell felt a cold blast of air. She peeked out of the basket and saw a majestic valley spread before her!

_________________________________

Suddenly, the owl accidentally let go of Tink's basket! She crashed onto the landing area, sending snowflakes scattering everywhere. Tinker Bell ducked behind the basket to hide–then realized that her book had been flung onto the ice. She had to get it back before a winter fairy found it!

Just then, Lord Milori, the Lord of Winter, arrived. "Now, that is odd," he said, grabbing the book from Sled, a winter fairy who had spotted it. Lord Milori asked Sled to return the book to the Keeper.

_________________________________

Tinker Bell secretly followed Sled to the Hall of Winter. When she arrived, she spotted the Keeper, whose name was Dewey. Then another winter fairy rushed into the room and asked Dewey why her wings were sparkling! Suddenly, Tinker Bell's wings began to sparkle, too–just like when she had crossed the border the other day! An irresistible force pulled her toward the fairy. The fairy's name was Periwinkle.

_________________________________

The girls hoped Dewey could explain what was happening to their wings. He brought Tink and Peri over to a giant snowflake. "Just put your wings into the light," he told them.

A few seconds later, the chamber filled with images showing the journey of a baby's first laugh–a laugh that split in two and landed on a dandelion! One half traveled to the Pixie Dust Tree on the warm side of Pixie Hollow, and Tinker Bell was born. The other half blew into the Winter Woods, and baby Periwinkle arrived. That meant Tink and Peri were sisters!

_________________________________

Suddenly, Lord Milori arrived. He was concerned about the book Sled had found. "What if a warm fairy brought it here?" he asked Dewey. "If a warm fairy comes here, you will send them back."

Peri and Tink, who had been hiding behind the snowflake, gasped. Did this mean that Tinker Bell would have to go home already?

_________________________________

Dewey told the girls they could have a little time to visit before Tink had to go home. Tink put on her coat and earmuffs to keep warm. When they got to Periwinkle's house, Peri showed Tink a bundle of items she had been collecting. "You collect Lost Things, too?" asked Tink. "I called them Found Things," Periwinkle replied, smiling.

_________________________________

Next, they went to the Frost Forest, where Peri introduced Tinker Bell to her friends Gliss and Spike. They went ice-sliding, which was like sledding on a frozen roller coaster. Tink had a wonderful time!

_________________________________

Agnarr loved telling Elsa and Anna, stories of long ago. One night he told them about the Northulara, a people who lived in harmony with the spirits of nature. The story left Anna and Elsa with many questions. But it was late, so Iduna lulled them to sleep with a lullaby. She sang of a river called Ahtohallan, which held all the answers to the past.

Elsa wondered if Ahtohallan knew why she had magical power. "Someone should really try to find it," she said before dozing off.

_________________________________

That night outside Periwinkle's house, after Tinker Bell had built a fire to stay warm, she had a thought. "I made it warmer over here," she said. "Maybe I could make it colder over there." Tink wanted her sister to be able to visit her on the warm side of Pixie Hollow.

Suddenly, the snow floor crumbled beneath them. It was melting from the fire! A lynx brought them to safety. Dewey told the girls that now it was really time for Tink to go back home.

_________________________________

The girls realized that they might never see each other again. Tinker Bell had to come up with a plan. When the three fairies reached the border, Tinker Bell broke into fake sobs. "I can't watch!" Dewey cried. "Meet me here tomorrow. There's something I need you to bring," Tink whispered to Peri.

_________________________________

A little while later, Tinker Bell arrived back on the warm side of Pixie Hollow. She asked her friends Clank and Bobble for help. The three fairies were hard at work when a few of Tinker Bell's other friends stopped by. Clank had told them about Tink's newfound sister, and everyone couldn't wait to find out more about her!

_________________________________

The next day, Tinker Bell arrived at the border with Bobble and Clank, who were pulling a strange-looking contraption. It was a snowmaker! Periwinkle and her friends gasped in surprise. "How does it work?" Peri asked.

_________________________________

A few seconds later, the snowmaker started to grate a block of ice and turn it into snow. Peri was delighted!

_________________________________

The older daughter, Princess Elsa, had a magical secret–she had the power to create snow and ice!

Anna adored her big sister and wanted to spend every minute with her. One night, Anna convinced Elsa to turn the Great Hall into a winter wonderland. They made a snowman together, and then Elsa created ice slides so Anna could soar through the air!

_________________________________

Peri's journey through the warm seasons was filled with one amazing sight after the next. She saw a fast-moving rainbow and a field of blooming flowers. She thought everything was so beautiful.

Soon, Fawn, Iridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist, and Vidia got to meet the frost fairy face to face. "Everyone ... this is Periwinkle, my sister!" Tinker Bell announced.

_________________________________

Peri was continuing her tour of the warm side of Pixie Hollow when Tink noticed that Peri's wings had started to wilt. The snowmaker was running out of ice, and there wasn't enough snow to keep Peri cold! Elsa accidentally hit Anna with a blast of icy magic. Anna fell to the ground, shivering. A streak of white appeared in her hair.

_________________________________

Immediately, Tink brought Peri back to the border. The worried Agnarr and Iduna rushed their daughters to the trolls. They were mysterious healers who knew all about magic. At the moment, Lord Milori appeared. "Lift your wings," he told Peri. "Let the cold surround them." A wise old troll named Grand Pabbie was able to cure Anna by helping her to forget the injury–and the magic. He also had a warning. "Elsa's power will grow," he said. "She must learn to control it." Suddenly Queen Clarion, the Queen of Pixie Hollow, arrived. She looked at the girls sadly. "This is why we do not cross the border," Lord Milori told Tinker Bell and Periwinkle. "I'm sorry. You two may never see each other again."

_________________________________

Elsa was afraid that she would hurt her sister again. She spent her time practicing to keep her magic under control. It was difficult, especially when she became upset. As a precaution, Agnarr decided to keep the castle gates closed. As the girls went their separate ways, Lord Milori mounted his owl and flew off–but not before he knocked the snowmaker into a stream. The contraption goes over the waterfall as Lord Milori had intended, instead of the contraption getting caught on a ledge.

_________________________________

Later that day, Queen Clarion tried to make Tinker Bell understand why the rule about not crossing the border was so important. She told the story of two fairies who fell in love. One was from the warm seasons and one was from the Winter Woods. One of the fairies crossed the border and broke a wing–an injury for which there was no cure. The queen finished her sad tale.

Anna couldn't remember Elsa's magic, but she still wanted to play with Elsa. No matter how much Anna pleaded, Elsa refused to open her door. Years passed, but the girls didn't grow any closer, even when their parents were lost at sea.

_________________________________

Tinker Bell and her fairy friends from Pixie Hollow were on their way to bring summer to the mainland. Summer was the busiest of all the four seasons–which meant the fairies would be away from home for months instead of days.

Tinker Bell was so excited! She had heard that the fairy camp where they'd be staying was an amazing place.

_________________________________

Once Tink and the others arrived, the nature fairies got right to work. Vidia, a fast-flying fairy, made the summer grasses sway. Iridessa, a light fairy, bathed flowers in sunshine. Rosetta, a garden fairy, helped bees find their way to the flowers' sweet nectar. Fawn, an animal fairy, greeted birds while Silvermist, a water fairy, frolicked with pollywogs.

_________________________________

Many years and adventures later, Arendelle was flourishing. Elsa was the new ruler, and she and Anna surrounded themselves with a friendly group–composed of a snowman, a reindeer, and a mountain man–they called family. One evening, they were all playing charades. Olaf and Kristoff made a great team.

"Teapot! Unicorn!" – Kristoff

Kristoff guessed correctly every time. Olaf rearranged himself into a new shape.

It was Elsa and Anna's turn. As Elsa stood before the group, she heard a haunting melody sung by a voice that no one else seemed to hear. It took her focus off the game.

When the round was over, Elsa abruptly excused herself, saying she was tired.

_________________________________

Anna knew her sister wasn't just tired. She opened the door to Elsa's room and saw that she had wrapped herself in their mother's scarf.

"You do that when something wrong, said Anna. "What is it?"

Elsa wanted to tell Anna about the voice but decided against it. Instead, she said she was worried about messing things up.

"You're doing great," Anna assured her.

Elsa smiled. "What would I do without you?" she asked. "You'll always have me," replied Anna.

_________________________________

Meanwhile, Tink landed in a peaceful clearing.

"Where is everyone else?" she asked Terence, a dust-keeper fairy.

Terence pulled back a tangle of leaves beneath a huge oak tree, revealing the bustling fairy camp.

Tink couldn't wait to get right to work.

"Don't worry, you'll find something to fix," Terence told her. Then he flew off to make pixie dust deliveries.

_________________________________

Tink went over to a fairy who was painting stripes on bees. "How's the bee striper working? Need any tweaks?" she asked.

The bee fairy shook her head. "It's working find, Tink," she replied.

Since there wasn't anything that needed to be repaired just yet, Tink decided to go look for Lost Things.

The other fairies reminded Tink that she needed to stay hidden from humans.

Just then, a loud CRACK! went through the fairy camp!

Fawn was startled and knocked over some paint she was using to decorate butterfly wings.

Tinker Bell was very curious about what had caused the loud noise. She went off to find out.

_________________________________

It was a car! Tinker Bell had never seen one before.

Tink followed, and watched as the car stopped at an old house in the country.

Then she saw a little girl, her father, and their cat get out.

"Could we have a tea party in the meadow? Please?" Lizzy pleaded.

"Not today," Dr. Griffiths said wearily. "I have quite a bit of work to do."

_________________________________

After the three had gone inside, Tink flew under the car to examine it. Suddenly, Vidia appeared. "You shouldn't be this close to the house!" she scolded.

But Tinker Bell was already poking around the engine. She found an interesting-looking lever and turned it. Outside the car, Vidia got showered with water!

Vidia was furious! Tink knew fairies couldn't fly with wet wings!

Moments later, Lizzy and her father returned to the car–and the fairies froze in fright. Luckily, the humans were busy examining a strange-looking butterfly.

"I guess that's just the way the fairies decided to paint it," Lizzy said.

"Fairies do not paint pbutterfly wings, because fairies are not real," Dr. Griffiths insisted as he captured the creature with a net.

_________________________________

Meanwhile, Lizzy was pulling a fairy house out of the trunk of the car. She hoped a real fairy would come to live in her miniature house one day. Lizzy invited her father to help her set it up in the meadow, but–as usual–he was too busy. He had to get ready for a meeting he was having at the museum the next day.

When the humans had left, Tinker Bell apologized to Vidia for getting her wet.

"Maybe if you spent less time causing disasters," Vidia snapped, "you wouldn't have to help everybody so much."

The pair set off together into the meadow, where they soon spotted Lizzy's fairy house.

Tink flew over to investigate.

_________________________________

"Tinker Bell, we're not supposed to go near human houses!" warned Vidia.

"Human houses are a lot bigger," Tink replied. She went inside and looked around, delighted by the tiny furnishings. "It's perfectly safe."

"Oh, really?" asked Vidia. She stepped outside and whipped up a gust of wind that slammed the door shut.

Tink didn't mind. She was having fun exploring.

Suddenly, Vidia saw Lizzy approaching in the distance. She pulled on the door to let Tink out–but it was jammed shut!

_________________________________

Later that night, the voice woke Elsa, louder and more insistent than before. She followed it to the fjord. She needed to know more about it.

Elsa began to sing along with the voice's call. As she did, she felt her magic getting stronger. The voice encouraged her to use her power in new ways.

Elsa found she could pull moisture out of the air and create wonderful fleeting images made of snow. How can this be happening? she thought.

_________________________________

Then Elsa felt the voice pull away from her. She reached for it and a shock wave of magic blasted from her in every direction. The moisture in the air froze into crystals that dotted the sky as far as she could see. Suddenly, an explosion of light came from the north.

_________________________________

"Tink, someone's coming!" cried Vidia. "Get out of there!"

Tink ignored her. She was sure Vidia was just trying to scare her.

Vidia hid, watching as Lizzy got closer. "Oh, no! What have I done?" she cried as the little girl peeked into the house.

"A...a...fairy...," Lizzy whispered.

_________________________________

Tinker Bell saw Lizzy's huge eye staring at her through the window. It was terrifying! Lizzy snatched up the fairy house and raced back home. Vidia followed at a safe distance.

Dr. Griffiths was busy studying the butterfly he had captured earlier.

"Now, dear," Dr. Griffiths said. "What did you want me to see?"

"Um, never mind...," Lizzy answered. She worried that her father might try to study the fairy the way he was studying the butterfly.

_________________________________

The shock wave woke Anna. When she saw that Elsa was not in her bedroom, she raced for the castle doors. Just as she stumbled into the courtyard, the frozen crystals fell from the sky.

The sound of crashing ice crystals brought the villagers out of their homes as well. All around them, lanterns suddenly flickered out, and the water in the fountains began to dry up.

The sisters found each other, and it was clear to them that something was very wrong. The ground shook and the wind blew the villagers, pushing everyone toward the cliffs.

After they were all safe, Elsa told her sister about the voice.

"A voice?" asked Anna. "What kind of voice? What did it say?"

_________________________________

Elsa revealed that the voice hadn't said anything it had simply shown her the Enchanted Forest. She knew she needed to travel there.

"Not without us, you don't," Anna said.

The ground rumbled again, but this time it was the mountain trolls rolling through the pass. Grand Pabbie went straight to Elsa.

"Much about the past is not what it seems," Pabbie said. "When one can see no future, all one can do is the next right thing."

Elsa had to find the voice. "And this time, Anna, I am not afraid," she said.

Grand Pabbie told Anna he would take care of the villagers but she needed to watch over Elsa.

"I won't let anything happen to her," Anna promised.

_________________________________

Up in her room, Lizzy took the roof off the fairy house, and ZIP! Tinker Bell darted out.

Vidia watched through the window as Mr. Twitches pounced. Tinker Bell was in more danger than Vidia had thought!

Lizzy scooped Tinker Bell out of the way and put her in a birdcage for safekeeping.

"Bad cat! No, no, no!" cried Lizzy.

Vidia raced back to the fairy camp to get help, but a storm had begun.

"We can't fly in the rain," Fawn reminded her. "And the meadow's already flooded!"

Clank and Bobble had the answer: They would build a boat!

_________________________________

At dawn, Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven left Arendelle, headed due north. They traveled day and night. Their mission was too important–the stakes too high–to stop for rest.

Olaf tried to lighten the mood. "Who's into trivia?" he asked, but he didn't wait for a response. "I am! Okay!"

The snowman kept up a never-ending chatter, revealing fun facts he had discovered since learning to read. "Did you know that water has memory?" Olaf said. "Did you know men are six times more likely to be struck by lightning? Sorry, Kristoff!"

_________________________________

As they went over a small hill, Elsa heard the voice again. She asked Kristoff to stop the wagon. Straight ahead, the sun revealed the Enchanted Forest, shrouded in a heavy mist.

Elsa raced across the plain with Anna right behind her, but they stopped before reaching the mist. "We do this together, okay?" Anna said.

"Together," Elsa replied.

At once, the mist began to part.

_________________________________

Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven hurried to join Anna and Elsa. The group stared as four giant stone columns were revealed.

The friends moved slowly toward the monoliths. But once they were inside the mist, it closed around them. They were trapped!

They didn't have time to be concerned, as the mist began to push the friends into the unknown!

_________________________________

Back at the house, Lizzy let Tinker Bell out of the cage and showed off her collection of fairy artwork. But as Lizzy described what was going on in each picture, Tink realized that the little girl had her fairy facts all wrong!

Tink interrupted, but all Lizzy heard was a jingling sound. "So that's how fairies speak! she exclaimed.

Tink went over to the fairy house and started repairing the door.

"Why, you're quite the little tinker, aren't you?" asked Lizzy.

Tink pointed to herself, then rang the house's fairy bell.

"Tinker Bell!" Lizzy cried. "What a lovely name!"

_________________________________

Just then, Dr. Griffiths came upstairs to deal with some leaks in the old house's ceilings.

"Lizzy," he said, "it sounds like you're talking to...a fairy?"

Tinker Bell hid while Lizzy quickly held up a fairy drawing. "Oh, yes, but she's make-believe," the little girl replied.

"Quite right," her father said. "I would like to see you spending less time in the fantasy world and more time in the real world. This summer you have an excellent opportunity to learn all sorts of wonderful things. Here is a blank field journal. I'm sure you'll be able to fill it with your own scientific research."

Satisfied, her father went back to his task.

_________________________________

They eventually stumbled into a wooded area. Everyone looked around in amazement. They had entered the Enchanted Forest!

Suddenly, the snowman was swept up by a gust of air.

"Olaf! Elsa cried, rushing toward him.

It was the Wind Spirit! Moments later, the whole group was caught in its vortex.

_________________________________

Elsa sent a blast of magic that pushed everyone out of the whirlwind–except her. She filled the vortex with a steady stream of snow and slowed its spinning. Then she threw her arms open and snow flew everywhere.

Elsa was free. And she was surrounded by ice sculptures depicting beautiful moments frozen in time.

"What's that thing you say, Olaf?" Anna asked.

"Water has memory," he said.

As Anna and Elsa walked among the sculptures, one in particular caught their attention. It showed their father as a teenager. He was being rescued by a girl who wore a scarf that was just like their mother's.

_________________________________

They suddenly heard a loud banging. Reindeer quickly surrounded Elsa and the others as people emerged from the bushes. They were the Northuldra! Anna grabbed an ice sword from one of the sculptures.

"Lower your weapon," said a Northuldra woman named Honeymaren.

Seconds later, soldiers from Arendelle, in faded and tattered uniforms, appeared.

"And you lower yours," Lieutenant Mattias of the Arendellians said to Honeymaren.

But another Northuldra, Yelana, sneaked up behind them. "Threatening my people again, Lieutenant?" she said.

_________________________________

The two groups charged, both wanting to be the first to capture the sisters and their friends. Elsa used her magic to make the ground slick, causing the Northuldra and the Arendellian soldiers to slip and fall.

"That was magic!" Mattias cried.

_________________________________

As Mattias got to his feet, Anna asked, "Do I know you?" She and Elsa walked over to him.

Then it hit her. His portrait was in the castle. "You were our father's official guard!" Anna exclaimed.

"I see him. I see him in your faces," Mattias said.

The young Northuldra were also eager to meet Anna and Elsa. Honeymaren approached them and asked about the scarf Anna was carrying. Anna explained that it had been given to her father, who had then given it to her mother.

It was remarkable to all that a traditional Northuldra scarf was cherished by an Arendellian queen. Maybe the two sides were more alike than different.

_________________________________

Without warning, a bright light shot out from behind a tree. It was the Fire Spirit! Everything it touched burst into flame. People scattered, but Elsa stayed to battle the blaze with her magic.

The Northuldra reindeer panicked and ran. Kristoff jumped onto Sven and took off after them.

Elsa spotted the tiny Fire Spirit, a salamander, under a rocky overhang.

Elsa held out her hand and the spirit cautiously climbed onto it. She smiled and sprinkled the salamander with snowflakes.

All of a sudden, Elsa heard the voice and so did the Fire Spirit! The two of them turned toward its calling.

"We have to go north," Elsa said. It was time to move on.

_________________________________

Tinker Bell came out of hiding. She was ready to go home, but a rainstorm had begun!

"You can stay with me until it stops," suggested Lizzy. "You can teach me more about fairies!"

Tinker Bell had an idea. She gathered together some art supplies, then opened the blank field journal.

Lizzy asked her questions about being a fairy, and Tinker Bell acted out the answers.

Soon Tink and Lizzy had filled the journal!

Meanwhile, Tinker Bell's friends were having a rough voyage in their homemade boat. In fact, they were headed straight for a waterfall!

After a wild ride, the boat crashed on the shore. The fairies were safe–but their boat was in pieces.

"I guess our sailing days are over," said Bobble.

_________________________________

Now that Lizzy's fairy field journal was complete and the rain was slowing down, it was time for Tink to go find her friends. Tinker Bell was sad about leaving, but excited to get back to the fairy camp.

"Good-bye, Tinker Bell," Lizzy said. "I'll never forget you."

_________________________________

But when Tinker Bell flew past the office window, she saw Lizzy inside. It was obvious the little girl wanted her father to look at her journal–but he was too busy trying to fix all the leaks in the house.

Tink realized she couldn't leave just yet. She had to find a way to help Lizzy and her father spend more time together.

_________________________________

Lizzy went back to her room, feeling sad. Suddenly, Tink appeared!

"You came back!" Lizzy exclaimed. She was overjoyed to see her new friend again!

Meanwhile, the other fairies were on foot, continuing their mission to find Tink. Vidia finally spotted the road that led to Lizzy's house. Everyone crossed the road safely except Vidia. She got stuck in the mud! Silvermist, Fawn, Rosetta, and Iridessa grabbed on to Vidia and pulled–but they couldn't budge her.

_________________________________

Then, suddenly, the fairies saw headlights coming toward them in the rain!

Iridessa held up her hand and bounced the headlight beams back toward the car. The driver stopped and got out. "Is somebody out there?" he asked.

The fairies reached out for his shoelace and held on tight. When the driver turned to leave, he pulled them all out of the mud!

After a fun evening of playing with Tink, and a yummy tea party, Lizzy fell asleep. Tink peeked into the hallway and saw Dr. Griffiths give up and head to bed himself as even more drips fell from the ceiling.

That gave Tinker Bell an idea. If she could help Dr. Griffiths with the house repairs, he would have more time to spend with Lizzy!

_________________________________

Tinker Bell found a hole in the ceiling and flew up into the attic. The musty old place was filled with crates and boxes–and leaks!

She searched the attic until she had all the parts she needed. In no time at all, she had invented a system to take the water from the leaks and send it back outside.

_________________________________

Tinker Bell flew down into the office to make sure her repairs had worked.

She couldn't help noticing the butterfly fluttering in a jar on the desk. It made Tink fell terrible to see the poor creature trapped and helpess.

By the time Tink was done taking care of his leaks, it was morning.

Dr. Griffiths came by to check on his daughter. "All the leaks seem to have stopped," he told her. "It's as if they mended themselves."

When Dr. Griffiths left the room, Tink picked up the field journal. She encouraged Lizzy to take it to her father.

"I would like to show him this," Lizzy said. "He has so much to learn about fairies."

_________________________________

Elsa started walking. Even though Kristoff and Sven were away from the camp, Anna and Olaf knew they had to leave immediately with Elsa.

It felt as if they had been walking for hours when a distressing sight came into view–the wreckage of an Arendellian ship.

When they got closer, Elsa and Anna realized it was their parents' ship! Inside, Anna found a map. Ahtohallan, the river from their mother's lullaby, was clearly marked on it.

Elsa was devastated. "This was my fault. They were looking for answers about me!"

"Hey, you are not responsible for their choices," said Anna.

_________________________________

Elsa let that sink in. She knew Anna was right. But she also knew that the next part of the journey would be the most dangerous. She had to go alone. If anything happened to Anna, she wouldn't be able to bear it.

She conjured up an ice boat beneath Anna and Olaf and sent them down a dry riverbed.

Anna reached for something, anything, to stop their boat. But they slipped into a quickly flowing river that took them farther from Elsa.

As their ice boat continued downstream, Anna spotted Earth Giants sleeping along the shore. The giants stirred as Anna and Olaf drifted silently by. As perilous as the moment was, Anna couldn't help wondering what dangers Elsa was facing.

_________________________________

But when Lizzy got downstairs, her father was very upset. "The butterfly is gone," he announced. "I was going to present it at the museum tonight. I didn't let to go, and since there is no one else in this house, it must have been you."

"I didn't," replied Lizzy. "It must have been..."

Tinker Bell started toward the office, but Lizzy waved her away.

"It must have been who?" Dr. Griffiths asked.

"I could tell you, Father," Lizzy declared, "but you wouldn't believe me."

"Very well," Dr. Griffiths said, "off to your room. I'm very disappointed in you."

_________________________________

In the woods nearby, Tinker Bell's friends made their way silently through the rain.

"I was just thinking, if Tink were here," said Silvermist, "how not quiet it would be right now. I really miss her."

"Tinker Bell getting trapped is all my fault," Vidia admitted. "I'm so sorry."

To Vidia's surprise, the other fairies weren't upset with her.

"Tinker Bell can get into plenty of trouble by herself," Rosetta declared.

The fairies joined hands and vowed to work together to save Tink.

_________________________________

Elsa had, in fact, reached the Dark Sea. Its ferocious waves made it nearly impossible for her to cross. Elsa was determined, but time and time again the sea pushed her back, and then it pulled her under!

She managed to reach the surface and create an ice slide, but when the waves broke it, she dove straight into the water, not noticing an enormous creature watching her.

Below the waves, Elsa was confronted by a looming spirit that took the form of a horse–the Water Nokk!

The spirit charged at Elsa over and over, but Elsa didn't surrender. She summoned all her power to create an ice bridle, which she hooked onto the massive horse.

At last, the Water Nokk responded to Elsa's commands. Together, they galloped to the other side of the Dark Sea.

_________________________________

Elsa had reached Ahtohallan–and the voice that had been calling to her. The answers to all her questions were there, just as her mother's Iullaby had promised. But more than the truth about her magic, Elsa also diseovered peace–a peace she couldn't wait to share with her sister, the spirits, and spread throughout the kingdom.

Meanwhile, Anna and Olaf had found refuge in a cave. A twinkle of snowflakes rushed in and formed an ice sculpture. It was a signal from Elsa that she was safe, and soon they would all be together again.

_________________________________

Meanwhile, Tinker Bell was trying to make Lizzy feel better.

"I wish I were a fairy just like you," Lizzy told Tink. "Then I could fly around with the other fairies all the time."

Tink knew how to make Lizzy's wish come true: pixie dust!

While Lizzy was being a pretend fairy upstairs, lots of real fairies were slipping into the kitchen downstairs to rescue Tink!

They didn't get very far, though. Mr. Twitches was blocking their way!

_________________________________

Vidia had an idea. She shot a stream of pixie dust at a plate, which began to hover in the air. The others joined in, sprinkling the magic dust on dishes and silverware. Now the fairies hurried across their flying bridge to reach the stairs–but Mr. Twitches was right behind them.

"You know where Tink is," Rosetta told Vidia. "You go. We'll take care of the cat."

_________________________________

Elsa rode the Water Nokk to Ahtohallan, using the mysterious voice to guide her. When she arrived, she discovered Ahtohallan was a glacier–a frozen river. Elsa entered the glacier, and realized the voice was the memory of her mother, Queen Iduna. She helped Elsa discover who she was always meant to be–the Snow Queen, Soon, memories appeared as ice sculptures. But one memory of her grandfather caught her attention, and Elsa learned the terrible truth about her grandfather and the Northuldra. But she had gone too deep. As the ice consumed her, Elsa used her final breath to send Anna a message.

At the same time, Dr. Griffiths could hear strange noises coming from Lizzy's room.

"What's going on in here?" he demanded. Look at this room! How did you get footprints on the ceiling? The truth this time."

"Well, I...," began Lizzy. "I was flying. My fairy showed me how."

"You've got to stop this nonsense!" insisted Dr. Griffiths.

Just then, Vidia sneaked into the room, but he didn't see her.

"You will never convince me that fairies exist!" he added.

Tinker Bell couldn't stand it any longer She flew out of hiding and hovered directly in front of his face!

"It can't be!" Lizzy's father cried. He stared at Tink in wonder. "This is going to be the discovery of the century!"

Vidia saw him raise a glass jar. "Watch out!" she warned. Now that her wings were dry, she was able to fly over and knock Tink out of the way.

SLAM! The jar came down on Vidia instead.

"I must get this to the museum right away!" declared Dr. Griffiths.

"Father, you can't do this!" cried Lizzy–but it was no use.

Dr. Griffiths ran out of the house, jumped into his car, and drove off to the city.

When the other fairies arrived, Tink told them that Vidia was in danger. "We have to hurry and rescue her!" she cried.

It was still raining, though. The fairies wouldn't be able to fly.

Meanwhile, Anna and Olaf were in a dark cavern. They were searching for a way out when suddenly Elsa's message appeared before them as an ice sculpture, It showed Anna's grandfather attacking the Northuldra leader. Anna now knew the truth–her grandfather had deceived the Northuldra people. The dam had not been a gift of peace. Anna knew she needed to set things right by breaking the dam. Suddenly, Olaf began to fade away. Elsa was in trouble, but Anna knew she had to pick herself up and do the next right thing.

The decision was not an easy one. Destroying the dam would flood her beloved home of Arendelle. But luckily the citizens would be safe; the spirits of nature had already forced them away from the village. Anna found a way out of the cavern and headed for the dam. With the help of the Earth Giants and their destructive boulders, Anna was able to destroy the dam. A massive wave burst forth, heading straight for the only home Anna had ever known.

At that moment, deep inside Ahtohallan, something was cracking. It was the ice around Elsa! Anna's selfless act had once again saved her sister. Elsa fell into the water where the Water Nokk was waiting. She rode the Water Nokk to Arendelle as fast as possible, hoping there was still enough time. When Elsa arrived, she turned to face the mountain of water. As it rushed toward her with incredible force, she used her power to create a barrier of ice. Then she pushed the waves away from Arendelle. The kingdom still stood!

Soon, Anna and Elsa were reunited.

"I thought l'd lost you!" cried Anna as she hugged her sister.

"Lost me? You saved me. Again," said Elsa.

The curse was finally broken; the Arendellians and Northuldra who had been trapped in the forest were released.

On her journey, Elsa realized she belonged with the spirits of nature, looking after the Enchanted Forest. The spirits all agreed that Anna would be crowned queen of Arendelle. So much had changed on their journey, but one thing would always remain the same–Anna and Elsa's love for each other.
