First...
The motifs you hear in the movie are fragments of Kristy and Bobby's songs, Elsa's Theme, Anna's (Pursuit) Theme, Hans' Theme, Anna and Elsa's Sister Theme, Kristoff's Theme, The Trolls Theme, Marshmallow's Theme, Kristoff and Anna's Theme (not sure), and a there's a theme associated with a sense of urgent heard in the cues "Return to Arendelle", "Elsa Charged with Treason" and "Anna and Olaf", I'll just call it the urgent theme.

REPOSTING because of typo on title.
Songs: Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, Score: Christophe Beck.
This Disney animated film surprisingly has a musical score (not just the songs) worth analyzing cue by cue.
In addition, there are a series of leitmotifs Christophe Beck incorporated into the score in order to being “a cohesive musical journey from beginning to end”.

4 hours ago, The Illustrious Jerry said:
Meet Hans. Meet Han.
Han's Captures Elsa/Han Captures Elsa
This could be what old Solo was doing after ROTJ! And he had a kid with Elsa, solving Rey's parent problem and explaining why she's so powerful (just wait, Ep. IX she freezes Kylos heart).
@musictheorist thank you for posting the cue list. I presume you're going to post analysis and review the score? If so I look forward to your next post.
On 4m48, it was a typo. It meant to be say "Hans Captures Elsa". I fixed. It was the working title for the track "Summit Siege" on the album.

Film and TV Composers’ Favorite Key(s) to Write In
in General Discussion
Posted
Hans Zimmer for example uses the D Minor key in a lot of his scores.
I happen to find Randy Newman uses G Major as his go to key.
John Williams uses every major and minor key because he’s underrated.
Any other composers that have a favorite key signature?
Note: Randy Newman is one of my favorite movie composers next to John Williams because of his trademark uses of Mickey-mousing to the film’s actions, using various time signatures, and using triple tuplets.
