# C'mon, you gotta at least appreciate the twist(s) at the end.
EDIT: Although I probably would've liked my first viewing better if I had known beforehand that it was a musical, instead of being blindsided by it.

# Not really. It's full of dumb flaws.
Like, what use is replacing his ice-hauling sledge now the queen only has to snap her fingers and the whole town square is an ice rink? And the whole so-called "spell of eternal winter" barely lasts a day.

It's basically the same old isolation / reconciliation coming-of-age theme; it's just instead of a metaphor for growing up such as a girl having her pigtails shot off, this one goes just a tad further and gender-specific by incarnating PMT and a tampon...

# She *could*, but why would she?
They cynical answer would be, "It's a make-work project so princess won't be dating an unemployed loser."

The more likely response is something like this:
"Your Majesty, would you magically generate some ice blocks for free?"
"Fsck off, pleb."

# True, true.
And I suppose even if she did, he could always find gainful employment for those ice-cutting skills, such as being on-call to defrost the royal bog every time she's had a slash and it's frozen the plumbing solid. Not sure he'd need the sledge though, unless she'd had a particularly massive dump.
