[MUSIC PLAYING]

Of course, Elsa.

Love.

[EXPLODING FIREWORKS]

And thus, we lived in the bliss of happily

ever after, for one whole day.

[SNORING]

Huh?

[CHIRPING]

[SNORING]

Stop it, Sven.

That tickles. Ouch!

Hey, hey, ouch!

Ouch!

Oh, what?

Oh, I love baby hedgehogs.

Gotta touch that belly.

[GROWLING]

Ow!

I-- I-- I still love them.

Oh, why is it so hot in here?

Huh?

[CREAKING DOOR]

[CHIRPING]

Ach!

I had to touch the belly.

You, too?

I woke up with a squirrel in my bed.

Your bed?

My head.

Oh, hey, guys.

[GASPING]

[MUFFLED YELLING]

Huh?

[CHIRPING]

What's going on?

Is it not obvious?

Let me explain it to you.

When Elsa unleashed her deadly eternal winter

in the middle of summer, she upset the natural balance

of the surrounding forest, thus creating

a severe threat of starvation, loss of safe shelter, panic,

and a pervasive fight, flight, or freeze response.

But why are they all baby animals?

Please, Christoph, raise your hand before asking questions.

See, that's the true tragedy of Elsa's snowy tantrum.

Parents in desperate search for food

were forced to leave their young ones to fend

the brutal elements alone.

Then it's my fault.

You said it, not me.

What do we do?

Well, they can stay with us here in the castle

until their parents get back.

Oh!

[METAL CRASHING]

Uh-oh.

If they stay here, there won't be any castle.

How about we take them to my fishing fortress on the fjord?

It's amazing, and private.

[GASPING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I built it myself.

Ah, there she is.

Look at her.

[CLATTERING, SPLASHING]

Hmm, it's a bit of a fixer upper.

You like what I did there?

I can work with it.

Oh.

Hoo, hoo.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Sven, you go find their parents, while we pretend

we know what we're doing here.

[BELLOWING]

But we don't know the first thing

about caring for baby animals.

Our families looked after an entire kingdom for generations.

And Elsa almost killed them in one day.

What could possibly go wrong?

[SQUEALING, FLUTTERING]

[SQUEAKING]

Ooh!

Oh, no.

Elsa!

Hey, whoa!

[GRUNTING]

Huh?

[SPITTING]

Oh, boy, rabbits poop non-stop.

The smell!

Oh, the smell!

Oh!

So cute, so painful.

Whoo-hoo!

Snack time.

You get what you get and you don't get upset.

One for you.

Consider them pacified.

[COOING]

Shhh, shhh.

Ah, we did it.

Are all children this exhausting?

[KNOCKING]

[GASPING]

[BELLOWING]

Sven.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Bye.

Bye!

See you soon.

Elsa says sorry about the whole eternal winter thing.

We did it.

That wasn't so hard.

Our shelter smells like muskox.

It's an improvement.

And thus, now we live in a peaceful, happily ever after,

assuming Elsa doesn't hear voices in her sleep

calling to her through song.

[MUSIC PLAYING]
