Product Information

The Nokk posed a challenge for Disney's licensing department in regard to creating merchandise, "how do you make a cuddly kids collectible based on a mythic horse made entirely of water? As a result, her skills as a horse whisperer do not threaten men’s ascendancy, reflecting real-life gender dynamics in equestrian sport. Elsa subsequently interjects, with irony, “The lack of romantic interest doesn’t bother me anyway” ( Wong 2020).

For example, Elsa’s equestrian prowess is relevant to how equestrian sport is unique: it is the only Olympic-level sport not subject to sex segregation; men and women compete against each other as individuals (as opposed to competition occurring in single-sex teams or mixed sex teams of paired men and women) ( Dashper 2012a, 2012b). The spirit's backstory appears to be based on the Scandinavian folklore tale of dangerous shapeshifting water-spirits that would lure travelers to the waterside, as the Nokk had been planned to shape-shift in Frozen 2 before the plan was changed. The Nokk fulfills the same function as equestrian activities that offer women a means “to be less constrained by norms of femininity [and] transcend social boundaries”, even temporarily ( Birke and Brandt 2009 p.As we know that Frozen 2 will be dealing with other gifted people - the teaser had one new character manipulating air - this could be the sign of a water-controlling person out there. After they stop the wave, they turn to look up at the cliff where Grand Pabbie, Oaken, and the other citizens of Arendelle and rock trolls are, who cheer Elsa and Nokk for their success, with Pabbie giving Elsa a respectful nod and smile for her efforts, before they head back to the Enchanted Forest and Nokk reunites Elsa with a relived Anna, who feared she had lost her sister forever.

With the object gone, Nokk is no longer being pestered by it and calms down the river to allow access to Gale and Elsa. Frozen 2 sees a water spirit named the Nokk try and ultimately fail to drown Elsa, despite them working together to bring balance to the elements by the end of the sequel. Screen Rant's Content Director, Alex Leadbeater has been covering film online for over a decade and been a permanent fixture of SR since 2016. With the Nokk’s assistance, she resolves this inner tumult by saving the kingdom that is her parents’ legacy, a feat possible because of her special connection to the horse, in a way that departs from historical horse and master relationships, in which spurs and riding crops were used. Along the way, the lead Earth Giant helps them up the cliff with his arms as a bridge, and they pass by Honeymaren and Ryder Nattura taking their reindeer pack out for a run, waving to Elsa as she passes by.

This very point reflects the “imaginative pull” of horse literature, that explores “the suggestive power of the horse in providing physical equality, domination and power, and substitute sexuality for women” ( Sceats and Cunningham 2014, p.

Aside from closing their eyes while standing head-to-head and Elsa’s use of the word “we” to convey a sense of closeness, Elsa then sends snowy sparks through the Nokk in a kind of magical electro-kinetic connection (kinesics). It is possible that this is hinted at through the Nokk's attacking of Elsa when it first comes across her. Growing up in the English countryside on a mixture of Star Wars, The Simpsons and Aardman, Alex is a lifelong movie obsessive. It leaps forward in flashes of lightning, confronts the Queen, before disappearing into a field of bubbles. r/Frozen is the subreddit for Disney's Frozen, its sequel Frozen 2, the short film Frozen Fever, the holiday featurette Olaf's Frozen Adventure and all other associated sequels and spinoffs.After Elsa's party enters the forest, the Nokk briefly manifests to Olaf when the latter looks into a pond and finds the Nokk staring at him, frightening the snowman away. The Nokk merits analysis because the horse is a primary means by which Elsa showcases her bravery, skill and heroism in Frozen 2.

This view of a relationship with a horse is popular in modern equestrianism ( Dashper 2016), including objections to seeing the relationship as “horse and master” hierarchy, with a preference for equality and cooperation, a trait that is more expected among women ( Charness and Rustichini 2011; Cigarini et al. In Frozen 2, Elsa forms a bond with a mythological male horse, a Nokk, whom she first battles, and then tames, showcasing her horse-whispering talents while building intimacy with the equine.This toy is not suitable for ages under 3 years: It contains one or more of the following items marbles; small ball; or small parts. Thus equestrianism, complete with a “glass escalator” for men, “promotes men and marginalizes women” ( Dashper 2012a, pp.
