Everything that made the first film great needs to be considered again. The biggest factor will be in having to find a new plot, with the same momentum, same edge, but also retain such an evocative undertone. What makes the "We Were So Close" scene so beautiful is what had come before in the film; you had to have the events of the first fifteen minutes to make that scene work and elicit such power. And you are so right about the music. All of the songs in Frozen are a driver, convey something. It's the same with the score. You lose that, and you lose direction. The film needs direction, otherwise it will not work. The other thing is that I don't want to just have another film so that I can see my favourite characters again, I also want the film to do what the first one did and have messages to be taken away from it. That's what comes first, that's what should make you love a character, and then after that are you excused to go in and explore them and their world to a greater extent. But like I say, the film needs to have reason and direction, and not just be a reason to reprise the first film to create nostalgia for the fans.
