What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale 'The Snow Queen'.
- Singer Demi Lovato recorded the song "Let It Go" specifically for the animated film.
- During Elsa's coronation scene, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider can be spotted among the guests, from the animated film "Tangled" (2010).
- A painting inspired by Jean-Honoré Fragonard's famous work "The Swing" was created during the production of "Tangled" (2010) and the creators of "Frozen" liked it so much that they used it in the scene where Anna sings "For the First Time" and mimics the pose of the girl in the painting as she leaps.
- Anna's love for sweets is boundless. For example, candies from the game "Sugar Rush," known to viewers from the animated film "Wreck-It Ralph" (2012), can be seen on a plate during the ball.
- Mickey Mouse can be spotted on the bottom shelf of the bookcase in Oaken's Trading Post.
- Kristoff, girded with a red sash and dressed in fur-trimmed clothing, embodies the Sami people, the indigenous inhabitants of Norway.
- Creating Olaf required the invention of two whole programs. One, Spaces, allowed animators to melt and reassemble the snowman. The second, Flourish, simplified the task of animating additional details of the character – branches on his head, for example.
- Elsa became John Lasseter's favorite character, who served as executive producer. According to him, the character's personality is so complex that she cannot be called a true villain.
- According to producer Peter Del Vecho, the familial relationship between Anna and Elsa was established to achieve emotional depth in the plot.
- To create the world in which the cartoon characters live, the production team visited Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Norway. In Norway, special attention was paid to the fjords, wooden churches and their textured roofs, as well as the national style of painting, "rosemaling." In Jackson Hole, some animators wore long, heavy clothing to find out how the cartoon characters should move through deep snow.
- According to Chris Buck, snow is one of the key characters. Its realistic appearance was the main headache for the animators. To cope with the task, new software was developed, including the Matterhorn program, which allowed for the creation of an infinite number of variations of fresh, sticky, and wet snow.
- Anna's wardrobe was designed by Jennifer Lee. The director chose "playful" floral patterns for the princess's dresses and rich colors. The clothes Anna wears on her journey are made of heavy wool and velvet.
- Prince Hans, Kristoff, and Anna are named after the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen.
- Idina Menzel auditioned for the role of Rapunzel in the film "Tangled" (2010). Although she did not get the role, the Disney casting director kept recordings of her audition and two years later Menzel landed the role of Elsa. Kristen Bell also auditioned for a role in "Tangled" (2010).
- In addition to Jennifer Lee becoming the first woman to direct a full-length animated film for Disney, she also became the second woman to solely write an entire screenplay for a Disney animated film. The first was Linda Woolverton, who wrote the screenplay for "Beauty and the Beast" (1991).
- Walt Disney Animation Studios attempted to make a film adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen" several times in the 2000s. The first attempt was in 2002, when animator Glen Keane left the project, after which the film's creation was halted. "The Snow Queen" resurfaced in 2009, and John Lasseter brought directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousdale onto the project. Producer Don Hahn and screenwriter Linda Woolverton also joined, along with Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, who were tasked with writing the songs for the film. In 2010, work on the project was suspended, and it returned to the development stage.
- Initially, Queen Elsa was supposed to be a villain. However, after the producers were presented with the character's main song, "Let it go," they found the song very touching and too positive for a villainous character. As a result, the plot was rewritten.
- Kristen Bell shared that she had dreamed of voicing an animated character since childhood. This desire arose after watching the cartoons "The Little Mermaid" (1989) and "Aladdin" (1992), at which time she recorded herself singing several songs from "The Little Mermaid" (1989). These recordings were one of the reasons she landed the role of Anna. Director Jennifer Lee said that if it weren't for these recordings of songs from "The Little Mermaid" (1989), it would have been very difficult to find a suitable actress for the role of Anna.
- In one scene, Oaken offers Anna "lutefisk," which is depicted as fish in a jar. Lutefisk is a traditional dish in the countries of Northern Europe. To prepare it, dried fish is soaked in an alkaline solution for three days, then soaked in water for several more days.
- To help the animators study the movements and behavior of a reindeer, a live animal was brought to the studio. Jennifer Lee said that this was the best moment for her during the film's creation process.
- The artistic style, created by Michael Giaimo, was inspired by films such as "Cinderella" (1950), "Peter Pan" (1953), and "Sleeping Beauty" (1959).
- Santino Fontana auditioned for the role of Flynn Rider in "Tangled" (2010). Due to that audition, he was offered the role of Kristoff in "Frozen" (2013). However, he ultimately landed the role of Hans.
- On December 22, 2011, Disney announced that the "Snow Queen" project was once again returning to the development stage and was being renamed "Frozen." It was also announced that a different team of people was now working on the project, and that the film's release was planned for 2013. However, it was not specified whether it would be traditionally animated or computer-animated. Twenty days later, on January 11, 2012, it was announced that the film would be animated using computer technology.
- Producer Peter Del Vecho explained the decision to put two directors in charge of the project by saying that they could both divide their responsibilities and work on different things, and, if necessary, make decisions together or generate new ideas. Thus, they could accomplish more work in a day than if only one director was working on the project.
- The film marked Jennifer Lee's directorial debut.
- Michael Giaimo was the one who proposed the idea of shooting the film in CinemaScope to convey its full scale. The idea immediately received support from John Lasseter.
- It became the highest-grossing animated film in history.
- Elsa's clothing at different times reflects the state of the character: at the beginning of the cartoon, when she hides her power, her clothes are modest and inconspicuous. When Elsa accepts herself and reveals her essence, the dresses emphasize her freedom.
- Towards the end of the film, when Kristoff hugs Anna, you can notice his thumb briefly passing through her body.
- In the scene where Anna and Hans dance in the lighthouse, their shadows are visible on the ship's sail, but the shadow of the platform they are dancing on is not.
- When Anna and Kristoff are chased by a large snowman, before falling off the mountain, Kristoff ties himself to Anna with a separate rope and descends on a separate one. After the snowman lifts them up, Anna cuts only one rope, and the second rope between Anna and Kristoff is visible in the frame as they fall. But after they fall and get to their feet, there is no rope between them.
- Singer Demi Lovato recorded the song "Let It Go" specifically for the cartoon.
- Anna's love for sweets is boundless. For example, during the ball, you can see candies directly from the game "Sugar Rush," familiar to viewers from the animated film "Wreck-It Ralph" (2012).
