I'm not actually analyzing the full short,just the beginning.
Ever since Frozen Fever came out I wanted to do this analysis but I didn't have time,but now I can so let's do this.And what better choice for my analysis on this short than the first thing that happens when it begins.
When Frozen Fever begins,the very first thing we see is Elsa changing and deciding on the ice topping figures for the cake.She changes them three times before she decides on the perfect one.When I first saw the short,I quickly recognized the posses of each figure from moments in the movie or from printed media and realized the reasons for why Elsa rejected them.Here are my thoughts on them:
-First topping:The very first topping is for Anna by herself and it bears a striking resemblance of the picture of her below(This pose of her doesn't appear anytime in the film,but was used for promotional pictures and is in some nonfiction books about Frozen).The only small difference between them is that the figure shows Anna's head positioned and facing straight ahead,while the image shows her head slightly shifted to the left.When Elsa makes this topping,she decides against it by saying,"So lonely".This is reference to the fact that Anna grew up feeling lonely since she was separated from Elsa,which both girls hated.So Elsa rejects this figure because no only as is it a reminder to their lonely pasts,but because,but because she especially doesn't want to illustrate Anna being alone on her birthday.
-Second topping.The second topping includes figures of both Elsa and Anna dressed in their coronation outfits,and it closely resembles the pictures below.The figures have some distance between them,and they're standing and looking straight ahead without any expressive details.In the picture,however,the girls are standing much closer to each other,with Anna looking downward with surprise(with her arms at her besides instead instead of behind like the figure)and Elsa looking(and slightly shifting her head and body)more to her right.When Elsa makes these figures,she rejects them by saying,"Stiff".She doesn't like this choice because even though it is of her with Anna,this still was a time when neither of them were happy.Elsa still acted closed in,stiff,and unfriendly to Anna,who was heartbroken when their seemingly renewed friendship seem to end very quickly.
-Third topping:The third topping is a clear,identical-looking figure of Elsa hugging Anna in her temporary frozen death state.When Elsa makes it,she gasps in horror and says,"I can't do that!".Of course,the obvious reason why she rejects this is because this shows the worst moment that ever happened to both Elsa and Anna.Things between sisters have gotten much better since then,so Elsa certainly doesn't want to see a reminder of that horrible moment!
-The fourth topping:The fourth and chosen topping is the one of Elsa and Anna ice skating together.The image to which the figures are identical is another one that doesn't show the two during the film,though it has been shown in promotional materials and indicates that it happens after the events of the movie.The only real difference between them is that the figure of Anna in the topping is wearing her hat(look closely),but the image shows the figure without it.Even though Elsa briefly frets after she makes this topping("I just want it to be perfect"),she ultimately decides to use it as it shows her and Anna having fun together,Since they are reunited and happy again,this topping is the perfect choice for Anna's birthday.
As always,Smell 'ya later.
