The art department created Ahtohallan as a magnificent, ethereal glacier comprised of several chambers, casting diamond shapes, which refracted the light, and revealing Elsa’s memories and experiences as holographic images. This diamond iconography extended to the color hues for the spirits, which ranged from blue to purple, and culminated with the creation of Ahtohallan (the ancient river that holds the answers to the past), where Elsa becomes fully transformed into the Snow Queen. She not only plussed it, she made it resonate as something much bigger than our initial graphic thought.” Here, we actually came up with a couple of ideas that inspired Jen to further create characters for these elements. Our job is to take the narrative and support it the best we can. “We often don’t have an opportunity to lead a bit of the narrative theme. “This was such a thrill for our art department,” Giaimo said. The symbols eventually helped shape the spirits of nature, particularly Bruni, the salamander/fire spirit, which has diamonds on his back.
