20 Awesome Things You Didn't Know About Disney's 'Frozen'!




1. They modeled the reindeer, Sven, after Executive Producer John Lasseter's dog, Frankie! They actually brought in a real reindeer, but he just stood there and didn't move

2. The crew got to tour Norway as "research" when they were designing the kingdom of Arrendelle. Coolest job ever.

3. Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled make a surprise appearance in Frozen! When they open the city gates for Elsa's coronation, you can see the couple's backs toward the camera.

4. However, there are more Disney theories within the movie. Fans believe that when Elsa and Anna's parents left the kingdom, they were en route to Germany for Rapunzel's homecoming when their ship sank near Denmark. The second part of the theory is that the boat the parents were on is actually the sunken ship in The Little Mermaid. Where does The Little Mermaid take place? Denmark, of course. Disney can be so clever with their inter-weaving storylines.

5. Queen Elsa was originally supposed to be a villain. Thankfully they changed the story to make her misunderstood. The movie just wouldn't have been the same.

6. They approached Idina Menzel to play Elsa after hearing her audition tape for Rapunzel in Tangled.

7. Director Chris Buck has worked on animation for other Disney classics including The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Oliver & Company, and The Rescuers Down Under.

8. The animators of the film will watch the voice actors perform their lines in the booth and study the faces they make while they act it out.

9. The co-director and writer of Frozen, Jennifer Lee, also wrote the screenplay for Wreck-It Ralph.

10. Did you notice there is a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal on one of the shelves at Wandering Oaken's Trading Post?

11. Elsa is the only Disney princess who isn't a teenager. Jennifer Lee said that she's 21. Anna is 18.

12. Josh Gad improvised most of Olaf's lines to make the producers laugh.

13.During the end credits there is a disclaimer about boogers! "The views and opinions expressed by Kristoff in he film that all men eat their own boogers are solely his own and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the Walt Disney Company or the filmmakers. Neither The Walt Disney Company nor the filmmakers make any representation of the accuracy any such views and opinions."

14. Frozen was the first full-length Disney (non-Pixar) movie to win the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature.

15. Frozen is the highest-grossing animated film in history beating out Toy Story 3. It has made over $1.07 billion and is still raking in the cash!

16. Jennifer Lee is the first female to direct a full-length Disney animated feature film. She is also the second woman ever to solely write the screenplay for a Disney film since Linda Woolverton wrote Beauty and The Beast in 1991.

17. The movie is based off of a Hans Christian Anderson story titled The Snow Queen, which was also the original title of the hit film before they changed it to Frozen.

18. Kristen Bell admitted that it had been a dream of hers to voice a Disney princess. She grew up watching The Little Mermaid and used to record herself singing all the songs. Like Menzel, Bell also auditioned to play Rapunzel in Tangled.

19. Anna is the only Disney princess to share a duet with the villain character.

20. The composer of the film, Christophe Beck, composed a bunch of movies you love including Bring it On, Just Married, Hot Tub Time Machine, Date Night, The Hangover Part 2, Crazy, Stupid, Love and lots more.

Things You Never Knew About Disney Princesses



1. The current official lineup of Disney Princesses includes Jasmine, Ariel, Rapunzel, Tiana, Belle, Merida, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Aurora, Mulan, and Snow White.
2. Snow White is supposed to be 14 years old. She remains the youngest Disney Princess.
3. Belle is the only Disney Princess to have hazel eyes.
4. Mulan’s story is based on an ancient Chinese legend of Hua Mulan, a female warrior famously described in the poem “The Ballad of Mulan.”
5. Mulan is also the first Disney Princess to not actually be a princess. All the others are either royal by birth, or marry into royalty.
6. Cinderella was originally intended by Disney to be produced as one of the Silly Symphony series.
7. Ariel is the only Disney Princess who was not born a human.
8. Pocahontas is the only princess based on a real person. (Mulan is legend, and impossible to know whether she was real or not.)
9. Tiana is the only Disney Princess with dimples.
10. Both Mulan and Tiana are left-handed.
11. Mulan and Jasmine’s singing voices are performed by the same person, Lea Salonga.
12. Snow White is the only Disney Princess to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This happened in 1987.
13. Walt Disney once told Ilene Woods (the voice of Cinderella), that Cinderella was his favorite heroine.
14. Belle is supposed to be 17.
15. Ariel translates to “lion of God” in Hebrew.
16. Rapunzel’s eyes are the biggest compared to her Disney Princess counterparts.
17. Frozen’s Anna and Elsa are expected to join the lineup as official Disney Princesses this year.
18. Many of Ariel’s quirks and mannerisms came out of improvisation from her live-action model.
19. Pocahontas actually isn’t the first Native American Disney Princess. It’s actually Princess Tiger Lily in Peter Pan (but, clearly, Tiger Lily is not an official Disney Princess).
20. Jasmine’s character is based on the princess from an Arabic folktale called One Thousand and One Nights.
21. Rapunzel and Snow White are both from Bavaria.
22. Princess Aurora is the first Disney Princess to have violet eyes.
23. Walt Disney has said that the transformation scene in Cinderella — where Cinderella’s dress goes from rags to a ball gown — was one of his favorite pieces of animation.
24. A Disney intern who was still in school ended up providing some of the inspiration for Tiana. Inspiration also came from Anika Noni Rose, the voice of Tiana.
25. Kristin Chenoweth was originally cast as the voice of Rapunzel, but she dropped out. Reese Witherspoon was then cast, who also dropped out. (Jeez.) The role eventually went to Mandy Moore.
26. Reese Witherspoon was also originally cast as the voice of Merida… In the end Kelly Macdonald did the job. (Jeez, Reese.)
27. Cinderella is supposed to be 19.
28. Princess Aurora had only 18 minutes of screen time and 18 lines of dialogue in the film, making her the most quiet Disney Princess.
29. After auditioning more than 150 girls for the voice of Snow White, the part serendipitously went to 20-year-old Adriana Caselotti, whose father, a singing coach, was helping Disney find a fit. Adriana overheard her father’s phone conversation and began talking in the background to prove she had the right voice. She got the part.
30. Belle and Ariel share the same live-action reference model, Sherri Stoner.
31. Pocahontas is the only Disney Princess with a tattoo.
32. Jasmine actually helped influence the design of Aladdin. Earlier sketches showed him seeming much younger. But once Jasmine was designed, animators thought she wouldn’t go for someone who looked like a scruffy kid.
33. When Disney first announced The Princess and the Frog, the principal character was named Madeline or Maddy for short. This upset critics, who called it a “slave name.” Disney then changed it to Tiana.
34. Merida is the only princess with brothers. WHAT?
35. In earlier drafts of the film, Cinderella has a pet turtle named Clarissa.
36. Mary Pickford and Betty Boop helped inspire Snow White’s look.
37. Disney shot the entirety of Cinderella in live-action, using it as a guide for animation.
38. One thing Belle shares in common with Sleeping Beauty: Belle’s dance with the Beast was created from the same cells as Aurora’s dance with the Prince. Apparently, the animators were running out of time.
39. Belle is the second princess to not be of royal descent. (With Cinderella being the first.)
40. Merida is the only Disney Princess with a non-American accent.
41. When Snow White’s Scary Adventures opened at Disneyland in 1955, it didn’t feature Snow White anywhere in the ride; riders were supposed to experience the ride as her. This proved confusing and she was added in an overhaul in 1983.
42. Ilene Woods, a radio singer and personality, didn’t actually know she was auditioning for the role. She recorded a couple songs for the film as demos, as a favor to the songwriters with whom she was friends. When Walt heard the recordings, he chose her over the 400 other girls who had auditioned for the role.
43. Beauty and the Beast screenwriter Linda Woolverton wrote an important character detail into the script: Belle’s “little wisp of hair that keeps falling in her face” — this showed that Belle wasn’t perfect.
44. Why is Ariel a redhead? For starters, Splash had just come out, featuring Daryl Hannah as a blonde mermaid — Disney wanted to be different from this image. Second, it was easier and more pleasing to make darker shades of red (rather than darker yellows) when Ariel was in dark or shaded places.
45. Jasmine is the second-youngest princess. She’s 15, one year older than Snow White.
46. Disney’s Pocahontas is 18 in the film. In real life, Pocahontas met John Smith at a much younger age. By aging her, Roy Disney said that it made a more dramatic telling of the story.
47. Glen Keane, the creator of Rapunzel, drew inspiration for the character from his daughter, who, as a girl, always wanted to paint her bedroom walls. By the time Keane started on Rapunzel, his daughter had become an accomplished painter and he hired her to create the look of Rapunzel’s room.
48. Belle, the first Disney Princess with more character depth, was partly inspired by Katharine Hepburn’s portrayal of Jo in the 1933 film version of Little Women.
49. Disney used Alyssa Milano’s face as part of the inspiration for Ariel’s look.
50. In 2012 and 2013, the Disney Princesses were redesigned.
51. Mulan’s redesign caused a significant upset because she appeared to have her skin lightened. Similar claims were made for Pocahontas and Jasmine.
52. Merida’s hair is CRAZY: “Merida has more than 1,500 individually sculpted, red strands that generate about 111,700 total hairs.” Also: “If Merida’s curls were straightened, her hair would be four feet long and reach the middle of her calf.”
53. Tiana’s redesign was extremely minimal. Illustrators added two new strands of curls, and a print of reeds went onto her dress.
54. Belle’s physical appearance was inspired by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz, and Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.
55. Mulan and Merida are the only two Disney Princesses trained in archery.
56. Ariel makes a cameo in Peter Pan’s Flight in Disneyland. She can be seen hanging out in the mermaid lagoon.
57. Belle is the only person in her town to be seen wearing blue, symbolizing her position as an outsider. Later, you see the Beast wearing blue as well.

10 Celebrities Whoo Look Just Like Disney Characters

If you are anything like me, you watch all the old and new Disney movies. I am constantly comparing real-life stars with these princesses. Wait until you see these similarities!

1. AMANDA SEYFRIED
While Mandy Moore was the voice of Rapunzel, we think that Amanda Seyfried is a much better match. She has those beautiful green eyes and long golden hair- look at the similarities! Amanda Seyfried is known for her work on the television series “Veronica Mars” and started filming movies such as “In Time”, “Chloe”, and “Mean Girls.”

2. CHRIS COLFER

Known for his role on the television series “Glee,” Chris Colfer could have another gig as Pinocchio! Give us a second here: the rosy high cheeks, the big eyes… all you need is to add a hat/wig and a hilarious little outfit. Apparently everyone else sees this resemblance too! When asked about it during an interview for PR.com, he said, “I really want to be Pinocchio, if Disney ever did ‘Pinocchio’ on Broadway. Actually, some of my fans I think started a Facebook petition for me to do that. But I would love to do it, maybe in-between seasons of ‘Glee.’ It’s always been a goal.”

3. LILY COLE

We think that Lily Cole is a dead ringer for Merida from Disney and Pixar’s ‘Brave.’ All we have to do is slack a bow and arrow set in her arms and dress her up! It should not be a hard sell, she is a model after all. She started modelling at the age of 14 and continues trekking around the world for high profile shows and magazine shoots for designers like Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs, and Prada.

4. HANNAH SIMONE

Hannah Simone has been in the show business for a long time. This Canadian got her start as a fashion model, became a television host for a music network, and now stars in the hugely successful television series “New Girl” with Zooey Deschanel. We think that this beauty would be a great Jasmine given the chance. The stunning dark hair, expressive eyes and spunky attitude are all a perfect match! Her independent and sassy attitude screams Jasmine.

5. KERRY WASHINGTON

Best known for her role on the wildly successful television series “Scandal,” Kerry Washington is building her reputation for being a versatile actress, starring in films like “Django.”  We also think she would be a perfect Tiana from “The Princess and the Frog!” She is elegant, sassy, and has those beautiful eyes. All we need to do is slap a frog in her hand! We think she might be a little too busy to work at Disney with all her appearances and upcoming baby.

6. HUGH LAURIE

Hugh Laurie is known for his work on “House” and in roles in the films like “Sense and Sensibility.” His character on the television series “House” makes Hugh Laurie a perfect match for Scar from “The Lion King.”  It is not just his deep menacing voice, but his hair, eyes and general ambivalence to the world.  Give it a chance, just look at the pictures. You know you see it too.  Now take away his throne and make him eat mice, I think you get the picture.

7. ISLA FISHER

Isla Fisher is known for her hilarious roles in movies like “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and “Great Gatsby.” She could also be swapped for Amy Adams with very few people noticing, Isla Fisher could be so many princesses! She could be Giselle from “Enchanted” but we prefer her as Ariel from “The Little Mermaid.” While her hair is not quite the same shade, she has the beautiful pale skin and innocence of a Disney Princess. Picture her on that rock singing out to our next entry.

8. TOM WELLING

Tom Welling is Eric from “The Little Mermaid.” Case closed. That jaw line, dark flowing hair, and beautiful blue eyes. Let’s all take a minute to look at this comparison. Sigh. He got his start on the popular television series “Smallville” and for being a general dream boat.

9. LEIGHTON MEESTER

This beautiful actress is best known for her role as Blair on “Gossip Girl” is also the model for Vera Wang’s perfume, Lovestruck.  You need to stop picturing her as a snobby Upper East Side girl, and think of her as a naive little girl thrown into a forest with some dwarves. With her snowy pale skin and dyed dark hair, she is Snow White! Just stick a red headband on and some red lipstick and we have a match.

10. GOLDIE HAWN

Stay with us for this one. Remember in the Disney film “Lady and the Tramp”? When lady gets locked up in doggie jail (the pound), there is this raspy voiced shih tzu mixed dog in the corner with lots of floppy blonde fur. You know that is Goldie Hawn. Who else could that be?
