Not sure if this has been discussed on these forums, but why wasn't Arendelle affected during the First and Second Curses? It wasn't under Cora's protection spell because Arendelle is on the other side of the ocean.

While we're on this topic, it's been a while since I've seen the earlier episodes, but is it explained how Whale got to our world through the curse? Wasn't he living in the Land Without Color?
