Snow Queen is a 2002 made-for-television film produced by Hallmark Entertainment and directed by David Wu based on the 1844 story The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. The film stars Bridget Fonda as the title character and Chelsea Hobbs as her rival and the story's heroine, Gerda. The film originally aired on Hallmark Channel as a two-part miniseries, but has since been released as a full-length film on DVD in the United States. The DVD was released in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2009 and in Australia on September 2, 2011. This was Bridget Fonda's last acting role before her retirement.
Gerda lives in a remote hotel in the far North with her father, her only real companion being the hotel's new bellboy, Kai. A mysterious woman comes to stay at the hotel, dressed in white fur and diamonds and accompanied by wolves. She is the Snow Queen and in the middle of the night she disappears, taking Kai away with her to her distant palace, where he is tasked to put together a large broken mirror, while guarded by a polar bear. Gerda (who is romantically attracted to Kai, unlike in the book where they are simply friends) sets off to rescue Kai, having to journey through Spring, Summer and Autumn, in order to finally reach the Winter domain of the Snow Queen.
