I'll tell you what's happened

to Kay.

He was made to kiss the Snow Queen,

and the heart of whoever kisses her

becomes a cake of ice.

I'm afraid our own little Kay

has a heart of solid ice.

That's all right, that's all right.

We'll melt it with love for him.

Why, he'll be alright by tomorrow

evening, you'll see,

he'll be as full ofjoy and sweet

like he always is.

Look, boys, just look at that!

- Look at those horses!

- I'd love to have a ride!

Look, they're coming back again!

Kay, why don't you try to catch

a ride?

Wait! Stop!

Slow down, I said!

"Dear Grandma, the spring has come

and Kay's heart is still frozen.

He hasn't returned.

I'm going to look for him.

Your loving grandchild.

Gerda."

Good morning, Miss Inkpot!

Good morning to you,

my dear Mr. Goblin.

It breaks my heart

just to look at Grandma.

Kay's disappeared, and now little

Gerda's gone off to look for him.

What a terrible shame!

Wherever can the children be?

Yes, it's a tragedy, Mr. Goblin.

My sadness is going to dry me up.

I'll go on weeping ink drops

until I'm out of them...

Through fields and through forests

I'm making my way.

I'm looking in earnest

For my dearest Kay.

The flowers me beckon,

They flutter and sway.

I'll gather them, I reckon

To give Kay a bouquet.

And Grandma is crying

For her poor kids.

She's not even trying

To hide swollen eyelids.

While far away, in the snow,

Under a white icy dome,

Our dear Kay doesn't know

How much we want him home.

All over the hill

The clouds swim and crowd.

A lot of fear I feel

When going through a cloud.

But I shall go on

For many hundred days,

To make him return,

Our dearest, dearest Kay.

Excuse me, Miss, you wouldn't

throw rocks at me, would you?

Oh, I'd never do a thing like that.

I'm greatly relieved to hear that.

- Would you throw sticks?

- Oh, never, sir.

Or bricks?

Never in the world.

Permit me to thank you

and express my appreciation.

Does my vocabulary impress you?

Oh yes, very much, sir.

I know a lot of rare words:

cybernetics, chaise longue...

It's because I grew up in

the gardens of the royal palace.

I might be called the court crow.

My bride is a genuine

pedigreed court bird.

She eats only leftovers

from the royal kitchen.

I surmise you're not from these

regions?

No, I'm a stranger around here.

You seem greatly troubled.

Tell me your trouble,

I'm a trustworthy bird.

I'll help you if I can.

Klara! Klara!

Karl! Karl!

You're going to drop your beak

in surprise.

This girl is called Gerda.

Our cousin, the magpie,

is a terrible gossip.

She told us all about you.

Klara, and that's not all.

It appears that Kay is

the princess's betrothed.
