Frozen: The Making of a Disney Animated Classic Part 2
The
Creation of Queen Elsa
Chris Buck, one of the directors for
Frozen, said that he admired how Idina Menzel gave Elsa, the essence of
vulnerability, Idina also commented how she really felt a relationship with
this character because when she was a child she would have this great singing
voice and she would hide it all the time, and just like Elsa, they both had
this amazing talent that was hidden. Wayne Unten (Animator Supervisor for
“Elsa”) said that when Idina came to the studio to meet the animators, he could
perceive the resemblance between her and Elsa. But what Wayne was most
surprised at was when Idina started singing, he said that all that
vulnerability, instantly vanished, he could also see the power flow out of her.
Here`s something people rarely know. Did
you know that in early sketches for Frozen, Anna and Elsa weren’t even related? Anna was a peasant that journeyed to ask the
ice queen, Elsa to freeze her broken heart. At the end it wasn’t a good idea
and so it was discarded obviously. In early sketches, Elsa was supposed to be
this blue evil queen, with an armada of snowmen, but something changed that,
something groundbreaking.
The actresses also commented on how they
felt a relationship between them and their characters, because they also had siblings
and also experienced most of the things Anna and Elsa went through. Kristen
Bell commented how when she was a child she felt just like Anna, a little
sister just wanting their big sister’s approval; and that eager to please,
little sister feeling lead to what would ultimately become one of the film’s
most beloved moments.
