The Snow Queen (1966)

One evening, the Snow Queen suddenly appears in the house of Kai and Gerda's grandmother, intending to take the unsuspecting Kai with her. When he refuses, she kisses him, causing his heart to freeze to ice. The once warm-hearted Kai is now unrecognizable. He becomes cheeky, outspoken, and even malicious towards his loved ones. All attempts by the grandmother to revive Kai's good side fail. Ultimately, the Snow Queen triumphs and abducts the boy to her ice palace. Gerda is deeply despairing and saddened by this loss and decides to force Kai's return herself. Thus, she embarks on an adventurous journey to the Snow Queen's castle. Along the way, Gerda encounters many wondrous things: she meets talking ravens, flies with crows to the "divided castle," and is kidnapped by robbers. Among the robbers, she meets the leader's daughter and befriends a talking, flying reindeer that knows the way to the ice palace in the north. Can Gerda, with the help of the reindeer, find the Snow Queen's castle and rescue her beloved stepbrother?.
