I understand the inclusion of Grand Pabbi and Kristoff to the story, but the inclusion of Hans (who even though is one of my many favorite "Disney" characters) and that sauna owner and Sven as he is in "Frozen" is just way too much. A lot of other characters have had their tales twisted beautifully and sometimes unnecessarily, but the Frozen's tale though mostly starightforward needs to get a few twists. I mean Rapunzel can have her hair black, Belle can marry Rumplestiltskin, Cinderella can be forgotten, and Snow White can be over adored so why not Elsa and Anna stray a little more away from their origins as presented in a feauture film. I would say that, for the moment at least, Adam and Eddy are probably under orders to be extremely careful not to stray too far from the movie in terms of twists and such. Disney may still want to film a Frozen 2, and they don't want people to get too caught up with what is Frozen Canon and what is not. (Even though it has been made clear that nothing that happens in Once is to be considered Canon from a Frozen viewpoint).

Ingrid, they can play with all they want, and even keep her around after the inital frozen arc is done (if they so desire), but my understanding is that Elsa, Anna, and the rest of the Frozen gang will be sent back to Arendelle following the Frozen Arc.

Now, if Disney were to allow Elsa and Anna to stay (or come back) to Once, at that point Adam and Eddy may be allowed to add a couple of minor twists. But really, given that Elsa and Anna are already major twists (especially Elsa) on the original Snow Queen, I'm not sure that anything else is really needed. The screen writers already took a page (or whole chapter) from A&E in turning Elsa from the villlianous Snow Queen (in the original HCA tale) to the misunderstood woman that has magic she can't fully control. I actually like how the characters integrate with the main cast, they just need a little more depth.
