Hans Christian Andersen
While playing in the town square on his sled, Kai is kidnapped by the Snow Queen and taken to her ice palace north of the Arctic Circle where she keeps him prisoner by freezing his heart. His friend Gerta goes in search of him on a long and perilous adventure, meeting many strange and sometimes comical characters and learning many valuable lessons. Eventually the warmth of her heart thaws Kai’s and he returns with her to their warmer homeland. This beautiful blending of a narrated dance/ drama and a thrilling action story shows off Andersen’s story at its best.
