The teaser trailer begins with a snowman ("The Snowman"?) walking up to a flower and saying, "Hello." I was instantly reminded of when I lived in an apartment house in Culver City, California (a suburb of Los Angeles) twenty years ago, and one of the other apartments was briefly occupied by a young Israeli couple and their little daughter, about 3 years old. She was just learning to talk, and one day she toddled out into the apartment house courtyard and started waving "Shalom" to everything. It was Shalom to all the people there, Shalom to the chairs, Shalom to the poinsettia bush, Shalom to the rosebushes, and so on.
She was 3 years old. I can only assume that the Snowman is mentally 3 years old, or that this is a very contrived setup for a ho-ho-isn't-this-funny? comedy scene that does NOT make me want to see "Frozen". I have not seen the Russian animated feature of "The Snow Queen" that came out late last year, but its trailer did not imply humor of this level.
