So glad you enjoyed these. I feel like this is such an underrated series. The first film had a select audience as it was but this film was PANNED by everybody. Audiences and critics. I never got it. I love the symbolism in this series when it came to birds. 1) Ravenna is clearly tied to black ravens ("raven" is even in her name). There's a superstition that blackbirds are messengers of the dead, and can bring death and malice by hanging around your home. Ravenna clearly brings death to whatever kingdom she conquers as well as the land itself. She can turn into a flock of ravens to transport herself and there is even a scene of her eating the hearts of colorful ("more beautiful") birds. 2) When Snow White's mother wished for a child, she thought "skin white as snow, and hair as black as a raven's wings." Years later, from the window of her prison cell there are two what I assume are magpies (any bird experts feel free to correct me) who help lead SW to freedom. This is interesting because magpies have black wings and white bellies, very reminiscent of SW's own features. It's also interesting that there are two of them, possibly symbolizing the spirits of her parents watching over her. The first time I saw the film, I wondered if that is actually what they were supposed to be before it was revealed that they were fairies. While brief and likely of no consequence given how this series is most likely over, the post-credit scene of Winter's War leaves the audience wondering if this golden raven is the spirit of the mirror or Ravenna herself attempting to corrupt her. If we take ravens in this world as symbolic of evil or doom and she has the "hair of a raven's wings," it's quite possible she has the potential for darkness. 3) The birds tied to Freya are snowy owls. Befitting for two reasons: 1) Snow, obviously (they're not only white but their natural habitats are cold), and 2) snowy owls are diurnal rather than nocturnal (meaning they hunt during the day and night). This is also reminiscent of Freya who spies on her huntsman all hours of the day using magic stone owls, like how Eric and Sara thought they could sneak away in early dawn but were caught immediately. If I was going to try and make her name relevant somehow like I did for her sister's, there are two elements I could point to. 1) The Norse goddess Freya is associated with love, beauty, war and death (which are all themes throughout both of these films). 2) This is a bit of a stretch, but Freya kind of sounds like freeze. This didn't have anything to do with birds but something I thought about. Wow, these writers must really love birds to be this creative.
