Plot synopsis
Hans and Gerda love each other like brother and sister but during a storm one winter's day, a splinter of the Snow Queen's evil mirror gets into Hans' eye and hardens his heart. He can no longer feel any emotion. Irresistibly drawn to the Snow Queen, he follows her on his sled to her realm. Refusing to believe Hans dead, Gerda goes after him...
This film skilfully reveals the world of Anderson's characters. With its expressive drawings, masterly animation and rich artistic interpretation, the film has become a classic story-to-screen adaptation in animated form.
