It doesn't bother me because of the fact that she's in it, it's the fact that Frozen is not a fairytale and the Snow Queen is. If Elsa is from Frozen and not TSQ ( the snow queen) then that will ruin the concept of the show, which was fairytale characters from actual fairytales living in Storybrooke. What next, Lilo and Stitch wash up on the beach? Wouldn't Emma or Henry have actually seen Frozen in New York ( I don't know anyone who hasn't seen it) and will wonder why on earth disney characters are showing up? I'm fine if they just make her look like Elsa so people get that it's the Snow Queen. But if Anna's there, then the shows ruined. She was not part of the story "The Snow Queen" at all.

But as long as I ain't watching this until it is proven to me that OUAT is not ruined, I do have a theory.

So basically, after Frozen, Anna is somehow killed in an accident involving snow. Elsa blames herself for it because she has her powers and thinks she could have prevented it. She is so devastated about her sister's death that she removes her heart ( as we have seen multiple times on this show). Elsa accidentally freezes her heart once it's outside of her, but instead of killing her she becomes cold and cruel, literally a frozen heart. Somehow she ends up in that jar thing.

I love this theory! A tiny follow-up I came up with: Elsa will be this misunderstood-type character, as we have already been told. People won't know right away that she is actually good, only she has a frozen heart. As we saw in the movie, love thaws, and with Anna dead, that means a love interest or strong friendship is going to thaw her heart. I think Red would be perfect for the job. She is one of my favorite characters in the show and now that Intelligence got cancelled, her little comeback made me hopeful that we might be seeing more of her in season 4. Red's story is very similar to Elsa's, and I think they could really connect. Think about it: She was completly misunderstood due to her obscure power (being a wolf), her family locked her up because of it (Granny used to lock Red in their home in the Enchanted Forest and in Granny's in Storybrooke) and she felt very guilty for killing Peter as a wolf, but after a while she learned to embrace her power and love that part of herself! I think a meaningful connection between them would be wonderful. Having done so herself, Red could really help Elsa free herself of her inner turmoil and find the beauty of her true nature, which is really what Frozen is all about. Also, I feel like Elsa as a lesbian would be a great twist for the adaptation of her character and would add a much needed diversity element to the show, instead of just hinting at it. Plus, Red is yet to find her second true love. I mean, if an old creepy lizard guy can find the sweetest young book enthusiast and be as adorable as they are (except for the whole false dagger thing), Red and Elsa could work out great
