Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film sparked the 'Let It Go' phenomenon, becoming the first billion-dollar animated film and spawning a merchandising empire that still haunts toy aisles today.
Jennifer Lee became Disney's first female director on a feature film with this project, and Elsa's arc was rewritten to make her sympathetic rather than villainous—a pivotal shift in Disney princess storytelling.
