I think I need to rewatch Moana cause for the life of me I cannot recall any significant moment HeiHei played in the plot, apart for random laughs.
Becoming just a comic relief is what saved him. His original role was more serious and over protective of Moana and getting into arguments with Maui, which didn't work, so they considered cutting him entirety before making him just a dumb chicken and just a comic relief.

This is called "testing the waters"… Pretty clear with the growing numbers of FIII stories cropping up that there is indeed something being worked on, and they want to get early feedback on what shape things should take by looking at reactions to "leaks" like these…

Frozen III is not an if or even when, just how long…

I can't recall what, but I recall the writers settling on HH swallowing some gem/totem Moana and Maui needed for the journey, and the need to bring him along on the raft--
Thus saving the chicken's plot role from becoming Extra Crispy.

Meaning
A) an actor is not allowed to say No, but
B) "Gals, for the bajillionth time, Elsa's NOT a freakin' 'lesbian'! She just has hurt trust issues...Wouldn't you??"

Yeah, but does raise an interesting question: Now that they finally GOT their "representational" Disney and Pixar characters (FWIW), do they even want Elsa anymore, as a mainstream "trophy"?

Or has that pretty much gone the way of their IP claim-staking campaigns for Captain America & Bucky, or Finn & Poe?

(Or, given the fan demographics, we can pretty well assume that to be a "Yes". It's going to live on longer than the "Firestar Anna" thing.)

Would have been more shocking if the anna voice actress had not accidently leaked it months ago.

It was never going to be shocking. It was totally set up in Frozen 2. The only reason F2 exists is to set up Frozen 3.

Yeah, and, well, Gad's obvious tweet a little while ago.

Funny…I keep reading the title of this thread wrong, and yet it's also so right, in perfectly describing the state of things. :(

Sorry, there's very little to dissuade me from the "Abandoned Brave sequel" conspiracy theory, especially when you can just picture Merida in most of Elsa's scenes, especially the ending.

Which means that F3, like Cars 3, will be going back to formula and doing a new important story from scratch, stretching minor F1 subplot references into needlessly fangirl-geeked "royal intrigue" backstory about the parents, and Hans, and neighboring countries, and everything else that's gone way off the original Hans Christian Andersen rails.
(And no, Anna doesn't get fire superpowers, too. :roll: )

Honestly, if they do a true redemption arc for Hans, I will see it opening weekend.
