Dear Disney,

Congratulations on Frozen II. Expectations were high, and you delivered. While my daughters left the theater thrilled, I was a little disappointed. I hesitate to tell you your business, Disney, but this sequel was missing the one thing I most hoped to see: a Prince Hans Redemption Story.

When we last saw Hans, our hero-turned-villain was being deported to his home country to face the wrath of his large, vengeful family, likely sporting a fresh shiner after being punched unconscious by his ex-girlfriend.
