Wolves (Frozen)

The Wolves are minor antagonists in Disney's 2013 animated feature film Frozen. Since their debut, the wolves have been commonly used as recurring enemies in Frozen spin-off material.

Role in the film
These wolves are shown to be inhabitants of the forest that is located outside of the capital village of Arendelle.

They are seen stalking Anna, Kristoff and Sven while on a journey to find Anna's sister Elsa. Once Kristoff notices them, the trio begin rushing off, the wolves chasing after the group immediately. Kristoff and Anna are able to fight them off, though they nearly succeed in devouring Kristoff. Fortunately, a cliff is in the distance, which the trio are able to jump across, saving themselves from the pack. They are not seen for the rest of the film.

Trivia

 * They might be a homage to the wolves from Beauty and the Beast.
 * A further similarity can be seen when their howling causes Anna's horse to become startled and leaves behind Anna by accident, similar to when Phillipe the horse became frightened by the sounds of the wolves and leaves behind Maurice.
 * Similar to the wolves in Beauty and the Beast, the wolves behaved unrealistically. In reality, wolves are usually more scared of humans and tend to keep their distance. The exception of their behavior in the film is if they're very hungry, considering the rapid shift to winter conditions during the apex of summer. This could be a possible explanation of their behavior in the film with the migration of the animals they would normally feed on.
 * Unlike the wolves in Beauty and the Beast, who have dark fur with yellow eyes, the wolves in Frozen have light fur and blue eyes.
 * In real life, adult wolves don't have blue eyes. Rather, wolves are born with blue eyes that gradually turn into other colors as they grow older, such as gold.
