Perhaps, an accident occurred and caused Penelope to die (as explained in OUaTiW)  Will never forgave her, causing her to run away. Perhaps Rumple came across her years later and imprisoned her for some reason. Cannot think of a way to involve Anna, just in flashbacks (unless she is a Storybrooke resident)

I would really love for her to have abducted Bae when he was a child, like the original Snow Queen did with Kai (I think that was his name) but not for any particular reason other than being lonely. Obviously Rumple could have wiped his memory and convinced him he was dreaming. Perhaps, she could pull the same trick with Henry but blah; seems a little deja-vu-ish.

I really don't want a dead on straight send up of Frozen. Even just a little nod to the Snow Queen's story would satisfy me. I'm sure they'll find a way to justify both the movie and the tale, like when they did Rapunzel they didn't base it off of Tangled, but the orginal tale, but when we first see Anna as a child I want her first lines to be "Do you wanna build a snowman?" Also, maybe to explain it to viewers who aren't familar with The Snow Queen Emma could be like "Elsa's real too? What's up with that Frozen isn't even a fairy tale?" and then Henry says "Frozen isn't just a movie, it was based off of The Snow Queen" I like that first line part for Anna. And from an audience perspective, I am totally OK with the concept of including Frozen. There is a lot of material to work with, and Elsa is a complex enough character to fit in well with the Storybrooke gang. In fact, I could see her character as a good foil for Regina's Snarkiness, and being able to dish some of it back at her.

However, I do have a problem with Emma, or anyone on the show for that matter, commenting on the fact that 'Elsa is real?'. Technically speaking, from the Point of View of the OUAT characters, Frozen has not even been released yet. Frozen was not released until November of 2013, and even trailers for the film were not released until Mid-to-Late June 2013. By current reckoning, the show timeline is up to around early 2013 (Started in October of 2011, and the events of Season 1 through Season 3A took probably 3-4 months tops, making it probably around February 2012 when everyone returned to the EF. add one year, and we are up to early 2013 show time. several months prior to the release of even trailers for the movie). So the characters should have no knowledge of Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, or even Olaf. Even the idea of an Olaf doll as a nod to the character would be out of place.
