Frozen's story is well-known by now, but Elsa and Anna's relationship in the original plan would have changed both characters' journeys in the film.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Frozen is essentially about the love of two sisters, but the animated film’s original plan would have been even more heartbreaking for Anna and Elsa. Released in 2013, Frozen went on to become one of Disney’s most successful and popular animated films. With a central song like “Let it Go,” which became an instant classic, and a story that spoke to children and adults alike, Frozen became a staple of pop culture.
The Story of Frozen: Making a Disney Animated Classic, a TV special about the film, aired on ABC in 2014, nearly a year following Frozen’s theatrical release. The special boasted behind-the-scenes details, which included the fact that “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” was nearly cut out of the film entirely, and other interesting tidbits.
Frozen's Original Anna Plan Made Both Characters More Tragic Audiences have come to know Anna and Elsa as sisters whose parents tragically died in a sea storm, but Anna was actually a peasant girl in Frozen’s initial drafts, and Elsa was a dark snow queen. They were also not related in any way. Originally, Anna had planned to go to Elsa to have her heart frozen.
The lack of Anna and Elsa’s sisterly bond would have given the animated movie a darker tone. The dark tone would have been more in line with traditional fairy tales, including The Brothers Grimm’s stories and Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen, which directly inspired Frozen. While Anna’s heart does turn to ice in Frozen, the act is an unintentional side effect of Elsa’s powers, and not something Anna sought to have done to her.
Why Frozen Making Elsa & Anna Sisters Saved The Movie The filmmakers changing their minds and making Elsa and Anna sisters instead actually saved the movie. Their relationship — the love they have for each other, and the lengths they’re willing to go to save the other — is the beating heart of Frozen. Without it, the story wouldn’t have worked as well, nor would it have been as heartfelt and personal. Being sisters gave Anna and Elsa something to fight for: Each other.
