There is VERY little byplay on the ice-- most of the conflict is shown in the characters faces as they plot and plan. The "twist" (returning the carrot) has a completely different motivation. As I recall, the frozen trailer with Olaf and Sven was an early teaser that introduced two of the characters. Anyone who went to the movie based on only that just wasn't paying attention.
