An animated film called "Frozen" draws influence from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen." The story focuses on Elsa and Anna, two royal sisters, and takes place in the made-up country of Arendelle. The older sister, Elsa, has magical ice abilities that she finds difficult to manage. She disappears into her ice castle high in the mountains after accidentally revealing her skills to the public.

A young Elsa finds out at the start of the movie that she has the magical ability to make snow and ice. Elsa stays hidden in her room to guard against her abilities after an accident that upsets her younger sister Anna. The sisters grow apart as a consequence, and the royal gates are shut to outsiders.

A few years later, Elsa is about to ascend to the throne, and the palace gates open to welcome her. When Elsa's abilities are accidentally discovered during the celebrations, she runs away to live alone in the mountains. Anna starts on a quest with the goal of rescuing Arendelle from an everlasting winter brought on by Elsa's unrestrained magic and returning her sister back. Together with her are a funny snowman named Olaf, an ice harvester named Kristoff, and his loving reindeer, Sven.

The movie follows their experiences as they come across supernatural creatures and deal with the difficulties of the freezing environment. In the process, Anna and her friends work to restore the sisters' tense bond and, in the end, save their country.

Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development

# data[].attributes.body
Based on a person's age and life stage, Erik Erikson's theory of the phases of psycho-development is divided into eight parts. In his 1950 book "Childhood and Society", Erickson presented his theory of development. In the words of Erickson, as individuals move through different phases of life, they continue to develop and gain important aspects of their personalities. According to his idea, the numerous situations that develop at each phase of life are related to the stage of psycho-development that an individual is now in. This suggests that the stages of the theory match with the experiences that individuals experience.

The main problem is choosing whether to feel mistrusted or gain in confidence in providers and the outside world. When their wants and needs are regularly handled, babies develop trusting behaviors.

During this stage, there is an experience between feeling embarrassed and hesitant if one's freedom is restricted and trying to gain a feeling of freedom and control.

Children want to be able to be independent of starting things without feeling guilty for what they want to do or how they feel.

Between the ages of six and twelve, a kid must deal with the basic tension between "industry and inferiority". The kid understands the basic principles of skill as they begin developing an understanding of how the world works. This leads to the beginning of wondering how the world works and their contribution.

The subject of Identity vs. Confusion is a topic that teens deal with during young adulthood that continues from around twelve to nineteen years old. The child tries to figure out who they are when it comes to society and themselves as they go through life growing more and more dependent on themselves.

Between the ages of twenty and twenty-five, a young adult in early adulthood faces the conflict between intimacy and isolation. The young adult makes an effort to deal with personal problems around love and comprehend the difficulties of living together with significant others.

An adult learns to deal with the topic of generativity vs. stagnation between the ages of twenty-six and sixty-four. As the adult gets older, their goal is to be sure they achieved meaningful things during their lifetime or do more in the remaining time. They prioritize making a positive impact on society and the future generation. They have to choose between feeling productive and generativity, or stagnant and unproductive.

# data[].attributes.body
The adult states with Integrity vs. Despair, the last idea in Erikson's theory of development, throughout Old Age, which lasts from around age sixty-five to death. The older person's attention at this developmental stage is on their life. Wondering whether they felt their life had any significance.

# data[].attributes.body
Erikson's thesis, according to some detractors, is mostly dependent on his own observations and case studies and lacks empirical backing. Although his theories are provoking, it is not always easy to put them to the test through scientific investigation. They have drawn criticism for being overly general and maybe failing to take individual differences in development into account. And are less helpful for research and real-world applications since they might be ambiguous and challenging to operationalize. The hypothesis has come under fire for allegedly unintentionally encouraging age-based expectations and prejudices, which may have limited people's chances for personal development.

Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust (Infancy)

Elsa's early life probably involved building a strong foundation of trust with her parents, who loved and supported her, even though it isn't stated in the movie. It was potentially a defining characteristic of her early experiences.

Erikson's idea of identity development is in line with Elsa's character development. Her battle with her magical abilities, her fear of doing harm to others, and her final realization of who she really is and acceptance of this developmental stage. It's important to remember that, although Erikson's theory is compellingly and realistically shown in "Frozen" through Elsa's character arc, identity development in real life is much more complicated and subtle over time.

# data[].attributes.body
In conclusion, Erik Erikson's theory is helpful in understanding Elsa's process of developing her identity and her challenges with accepting herself, but it might not fully capture every aspect of her character's experiences, specifically those connected to the magical and magical parts of the movie. To properly understand the complexity and details of Elsa's tale, a wider range of psychological, narrative, and structural categories may be needed for the analysis of her character and her journey.

According to Erikson's theory in the book "My Psychology" in chapter nine he stated that age doesn't mean as much as it used to. In the earlier phases of development, age communicates a lot about the developmental tasks of the individual.
