Queen Elsa of Arendelle is a fictional character that appears in the 53rd animated film Walt Disney Animation Studios Frozen . She is voiced primarily by Broadway actress and singer Idina Menzel. At the beginning of the film, he is voiced by Eva Bella as a young child and by Spencer Lacey Ganus as a teenager.
Created by director Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, Elsa is loosely based on the title character "The Snow Queen", a Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. In the Disney movie adaptation, he was introduced as the daughter of the fictitious Scandinavian kingdom of Arendelle, the heir to the throne and the sister of Princess Anna (Kristen Bell). Elsa has a magical ability to create and manipulate ice and snow. He accidentally sent Arendelle to an eternal winter on the night of his coronation. Throughout the film, he struggles first by controlling and concealing his ability and then by freeing himself from his fear of inadvertently harming others, especially his sister.
Snow Queen's character, neutral but cold-hearted in fairy tales and villains in various character adaptations, proved difficult to adapt to the film because of its transparent depiction. Some movie executives, including Walt Disney, are trying to build characters, and a number of movie adaptations that have been scheduled are suspended when they can not work on the characters. Buck and his co-director, Jennifer Lee, were finally able to solve the dilemma by describing Elsa and Anna as sisters. As much as Anna's struggle is external, Elsa is internal. This caused Elsa to be gradually rewritten as a sympathetic and misunderstood character.
Elsa has received positive reviews from reviewers, who praised her complex characterization and vulnerability. Menzel is also widely praised for his vocal appearance, especially his performance of the song "Let It Go", with critics often calling it a "power center".

Development
Origins and concept
Efforts were made as early as 1937 by Walt Disney to adapt the fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen, "The Snow Queen", into a movie. This story focuses on two children, one named Gerda, who serves as the basis for Princess Anna, and another named Kai, who is "cursed with negativity" after his heart is broken with broken glass from a mirror mirror and then kidnapped by Snow Queen. However, Disney is struggling with creating a trustworthy multi-dimensional adaptation of the fairy tale character, which is meant to be a criminal. In the story, she is described as "a woman, dressed in white gauze, who looks like millions of starched snowflakes linked together.He is fair and beautiful, but made of shining and shimmering ice Still she is alive and her eyes shine like a bright star , but there is no peace or tranquility in their gaze. "Disney could not find a way to make Snow Queen more real and finally abandoned the movie plan.
Several film executives then made efforts on the project, including Paul and GaÃÆ'Â · tan Brizzi, Dick Zondag, Glen Keane, and Dave Goetz. In 2011, director Chris Buck began working on other adaptation efforts and also faced challenges with the character of Snow Queen. Producer Peter Del Vecho explains that this is mainly because he can not connect and is too isolated, has no personal connection. As a result, they can not explain their motivation. After several changes were proposed, someone on the author's team suggested making sister Snow Queen Anna. "Once we realize that this character can be a sibling and have a relationship, everything changes," Del Vecho conveyed.
The Snow Queen, now named Elsa, continues to be discarded as a villain, and Disney released the following synopsis for Frozen in May 2013:
When Anna was cursed by her estranged sister, the cold-hearted Snow Queen, Anna's only hope to reverse the curse was to survive a treacherous but tense journey in a cold and unforgiving landscape. Joining outsider fishing, sensationalizing, the sole deer and the poor snowman, Anna has to race against time, conquer the elements and fight with the menacing snowmen if she hopes to melt her frozen heart.
The earlier manuscripts included more antagonistic actions by Elsa, such as by deliberately condemning Arendelle with an eternal winter. In addition, he was shown to create a snowman army similar to the original Snow Queen snowflake; Olaf's comedy character at the time was written as a smaller snowman who was thrown out by Elsa for being too absurd. Within two months, however, the script was changed to emphasize the lack of control over its power. Olaf is reduced to the only snowman created by Elsa, and he serves as a reminder of the childhood friendship of sisters. In the final version, Elsa created a gigantic snowman that Olaf nicknamed "Marshmallow" to act as a guard after being labeled a monster for her powers. According to director Jennifer Lee, the character eventually becomes more of a mixture of Kai and the Snow Queen, increasing her increasingly sympathetic portrayal. Del Vecho adds, "There are times when Elsa does evil things but because you understand where she comes from, from the desire to defend herself, you can always relate to her."
Voice
Eva Bella and Spencer Lacey Ganus role to portray Elsa as a young man and as a teenager, respectively. Actress and singer Megan Mullally was originally cast to voiced adult Elsa. but was replaced by Idina Menzel, a Broadway actress and singer famous for performing as Elphaba on Wicked. Menzel already knows Christian Bell, who voiced Anna, and has previously auditioned for a lead role in the 2010 Disney movie Tangled. He did not play the part, but the casting director recorded his singing and then showed the tape to film executives Frozen '. Menzel was surprised when he was asked to audition, and he accepted the role after reading the script aloud. In the interview, he acknowledged the similarities between Elsa, his current role, and Elphaba, his previous role. Namely, he says, they are very powerful and highly misunderstood individuals. He further said that he was associated with the characters, after hiding singing talent from his friends at school. "I do not want to alienate anyone," he explained. "If everyone sings together in the car for Madonna songs, I do not join because when we are younger we are afraid of sticking or showing off, when in fact we have to have things that make us truly unique."
Director Chris Buck believes that Menzel's vocals will help in his portrayal of characters, saying, "Idina has a sense of vulnerability in his voice He plays a very strong character, but someone lives in fear - so we need someone who can portray both sides of the character, and Idina "Menzel is not accustomed to working with animated films and is asked to describe his character's feelings in his own voice, although he does not find it particularly challenging. While recording, he can "play" with his voice, trying different tones to set the range in Elsa's emotions. For example, Menzel wants to have a difference between the way he sounds when he becomes brave and when he is angry. He would also physically restrict his hand to move when he recorded the initial scene of the film to project how his character was "very afraid to move and feel anything that would come out and hurt people".
During production, Menzel and Jonathan Groff, who portray Kristoff, went to the animation studio to explain to the animators how they approached their characters. The Animator asks Menzel questions about his singing, observes how he breathes while he sings directly, and makes videotapes of his recording sessions; they then move Elsa's breath to match Menzel's breathing, for further realism. Her voice gave inspiration for Elsa's most prominent song, "Let It Go". According to composer Robert Lopez, Menzel's vocal range is able to clearly convey the "weak, fragile, vulnerable" side of Elsa as well as her strength and self-realization. Menzel commented that it was an "honor" to own the song and that he was happy to record it. "This is a collision of a bunch of forces that all come together in the right way," he explains. "Character, what he sang and what he experienced, beautiful lyrics, beautiful melodies and a little me." Buck and Lee were also surprised by how well Menzel and Kristen Bell sounded. At one point during the reading table, they sang a ballad (later revealed as "Wind Beneath My Wings") back and forth with each other with so many sentiments reported leaving everyone present with tears in their eyes. Furthermore, Lee wants Menzel and Bell to be in the same room as they recorded an important emotional scene from the film.
Other sounds
Throughout the world, Elsa is dubbed in 46 languages.
Dutch singer and actress Willemijn Verkaik nicknamed Elsa in Dutch (both speaking and singing) and German (just singing), Spanish singer Gisela singing for Spanish and Spanish Catalan versions and French singer's song AnaÃÆ'¯s Delva also used in Canadian French Version.
Both AnaÃÆ'¯s Delva (France) and Jelena Gavrilovi? (Serbia) initially auditioned for Anna's role, but was eventually called back to dub Elsa instead.
Just like Idina Menzel, the four Elsa singers also play Elphaba's role in "Wicked" Musical: Maria Lucia Rosenberg (Denmark), Willemijn Verkaik (Dutch and German), Mona Mor (Hebrew) and Hyena Park (Korea).
Since 2013, several local TV stations have named movies in their local language, creating some unofficial copy (ie: Albanian, Arabic TV, Karachay-Balkar, Persian, and Tagalog).
Design and characterization
After casting Idina Menzel, Elsa's characterization has undergone several changes. According to Menzel, he was originally written as a one-dimensional antagonist but gradually revised as a more vulnerable and multifaceted figure. Menzel further describes his character as "very complicated and misunderstood". Director Jennifer Lee stated that Elsa was largely driven by fear throughout the film, while Menzel added that she also struggled with her potential to be "a strong, strong, extraordinary woman." The executive producer and animator John Lasseter became very "protective of Elsa" and insisted on describing himself in better sympathetic light. Writer and director Jennifer Lee stated on Twitter that Elsa's body language and behavior "deliberately shows anxiety and depression". In July 2013, Disney released a picture of the main character of the movie along with an outline of their role in the story. Elsa accepts the following description:
From the outside, Elsa looks calm, sublime and reserved, but in reality, she lives in fear as she wrestles with a powerful secret - she is born with the power to create ice and snow. This is a wonderful ability, but also very dangerous. Haunted by his magic almost killing his sister Anna, Elsa has isolated herself, spending every waking minute trying to suppress her growing power. His mounting emotion triggers magic, unintentionally making eternal winters so that he can not stop. He's afraid he's a monster and no one, not even his sister, can help him.
The one who watched Elsa was Wayne Unten, who asked for the role because he was fascinated by its complexity. Unten carefully developed the expression on Elsa's face to expel his fear in contrast to Anna's astonishment. For their work in designing and animating Elsa, Unten and three other Disney Animation employees later won the award for Animated Animated Character in Animated Animation Feature in 2013 Visual Effects Society Awards: Joy Johnson, technical director character ( rigging); Alexander Alvarado, see development artist (Disney job title for texture artist); and Chad Stubblefield, modeling supervisor. FX technical director Yoo Jae-hyun worked for a year and a half to create Elsa ice-based special effects, including the effects associated with his clothes.
The producer identifies the scene in which Elsa sings "Let It Go" as an important point in character development. The scene illustrates his choice to "let go" his fear using his power. The character design supervisor Bill Schwab said, "Before 'Let It Go', Elsa was really flying, her hair was up - everything was perfect.As long as the song, she gave herself permission to be who she was and everything changed - her hair more wild, her dress was magical He is finally free - even if he is alone. "The animators designed the appearance of Elsa to reflect his metamorphosis; At first, it is displayed primarily in tight and limiting clothing. Menzel said that, upon accepting his abilities, Elsa's appearance became "very vampy", continued, "She's sexy enough for Disney, I have to say - they push the limit there a bit! But there is a glow in her eyes and the accompanying walking supermodel and, for me , it's fun being a blonde because I'm not in real life. "In a January 2014 interview with John August and Aline Brosh McKenna, Lee revealed that Lasseter personally helped by conceptualizing Elsa's physical transformation:" [M] y favorite thing about it.. is the real model for doing so is John Lasseter... He is very helpful in talking through how we translate that emotional journey... with animation... [H] e wake up and he's like, 'hairs' gone, and he's changed, and he's struts, 'and he's doing it. "He's behaving."
The scene was also an important point in Elsa's character development and was originally planned to depict her to be evil. Robert Lopez, who composed a song with his wife, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, explains, "Elsa will change from being the perfect princess who has tried to keep her personality throughout her life to say, 'Fuck, I'll be me.'" They wanted to use the song as a way to gain a better understanding of the character and what he is like if he no longer lives in fear, which ultimately makes it more complicated. The last lyrics and "the ability to be so fragile and vulnerable and then enter into the power of power" this changed the storyline and caused Elsa to be revised as a "good" character. He initially tried to suppress his power to avoid hurting others, especially Anna, and when he was no longer able to do so, he drove himself from the kingdom to protect the people around him. Lead author Paul Briggs says that Anna's support is what Elsa needs most when his secrets are revealed. "The strength of this family bond makes this story so powerful," he explains, "because his sibling is willing to look beyond his power and stand between him and the world if that is what is necessary."
Elsa's appearance must be redesigned after the transition from antagonist to protagonist. He was initially intrigued by a style similar to other Disney criminals, with blue skin and pointy black hair. A few months after the release of the film, visual development artist Claire Keane (daughter of Disney Legend Glen Keane) publishes an early concept of Elsa art that is modeled after singer Amy Winehouse. At that time, he was imagined to have "bouffant" blue hair and "deep, emotional mood and mood swings". Lasseter reportedly influenced the creation of a much softer appearance of the final appearance, especially in the case of his thick platinum hair, which is hard to find by designers. Art director Michael Giaimo said that while a number of strategies were proposed for Elsa's hair, Lasseter would encourage the animation team to continue making improvements, saying, "It's not quite aspirational, we want people to feel like this hair is a beautiful statement." During the course of the study, the producers found that there were "many braids" worn by women in Norway; they then hired a stylist from New York named "Danilo" who helped create a style that would reflect it while still "slightly different". A new animated program called Tonic was created to help with the task, and character hair eventually required 420,000 CGI threads. Instead, Anna is given about 140,000 hairs while Rapunzel of Tangled requires only 27,000 CGI threads for her hair.
Ability
Since Elsa was introduced as a youngster at the beginning of the film, the animators wanted the first glimpse of her power to reflect her innocent and imaginary state of mind at the time. This includes giving her first snowflake with a simple design. The pattern of snow and ice then becomes more complicated and complex when he grows up. Co-effects supervisor Marlon West elaborates, "When Elsa finally let go and really started to have cryokinetic abilities, we wanted the ice and snow she made to get the idea that Elsa now has grown and become this beautiful, elegant, confident, and strong young woman. "
His ice palace, which he created while singing "Let It Go", was designed to describe his maturation of power and become "the manifestation of his feelings to the world". The palace was originally beautiful; However, once he is aware of the destruction he has caused by accident, and because he is increasingly slandered and hunted by others, it becomes darker and more distorted, with jagged ice formed on the walls. The film design team is unsure about how to view and draw designs for ice-filled ice castles. Lasseter suggested to base the structure and pattern on snowflakes. For example, very large snowflakes will serve as the foundation, and the palace will be hexagon-shaped. Lasseter also wanted the snowflake pattern to influence the way in which Elsa created the palace. "Snowflakes are tiny tiny ice crystals that form in the air, and when there is a change in temperature and humidity, these snowflakes begin to grow in a pattern known as branching and coating," says co-effects supervisor Dale Mayeda. "[Lasseter] said 'You know, when Elsa builds her ice castle, it would be amazing if - every step of the way like this castle is formed from thin air - it's just branched and plating, branched and plating along the way.'
Fifty animators work on scenes where the castle is built, and one frame takes 30 hours to make. They then expanded similar techniques to Elsa's clothing. While the traditional Norwegian rosemaling is the inspiration for her costumes at the beginning of the film, her ice dress is designed similar to her palace, with snowflakes profoundly influencing the style. The hood itself is a huge snowflake.

Appearance
Frozen
Elsa, the daughter of Arendelle and the heir to the throne, was born with the ability to create and control ice and snow. As a child, he uses his ability to create a winter wonderland to play with his younger sister and best friend, Princess Anna. One night, Elsa accidentally hurt Anna with her powers. The king and queen Arendelle hurriedly took Anna to a troll mountain tribe to be healed. While healing Anna, the troll told the nobility that Elsa's abilities would grow, be beautiful and so dangerous that she had to learn to control it. While the troll erased Anna's memory of the incident and the strength of her older sister in general, Elsa was traumatized by the incident. The king and queen take steps to control and hide the power of Elsa's ice: the castle gate is locked, Elsa is covered in her bedroom for most of the time, she is given gloves to help suppress her power and is ordered to restrain her emotions. as well. Nevertheless his strength continued to grow stronger and he became afraid to hurt the people he cared for the most. Meanwhile, her sister Anna is unhappy and confused about losing contact with her sister and trying, without success, to persuade her out of her room. As the sisters grew into adolescence, the ship where the king and queen sail overturned in a storm and they drowned, making Anna and Elsa feel more lonely.
Three years have passed, and Elsa, now aged, is set to officially replace her father as king of Arendelle. Although he was afraid to open the castle to a large crowd, his coronation was relatively peaceful. However, at the reception, Anna asked Elsa's blessing to marry Prince Hans of the Southern Islands, whom Anna had met that day. Elsa refuses to bless Hans's offer to marry Anna; he was someone he barely knew, pushing the quarrel between the two. Because irritated Elsa inadvertently reveals her strength. Following the horror of the guests and their subject and being accused of being a magic and called a monster, Elsa escaped from the castle and retreated to the icy mountains. In the process, his emotions release the "eternal" winter throughout Arendelle. While there, he decides to embrace, ultimately, all his strength and build an enormous ice castle where he believes he can live freely without fear of hurting people. He also rebuilt his childhood snowman, Olaf, and involuntarily brought him to life.
Anna, determined to find Elsa and bring her back, travel through the mountains, meet Olaf and a mountain man named Kristoff. They reach the ice castle, where Anna tries to persuade Elsa to return home and improve their relationship. When Elsa finally refuses (because her memory of hurting Anna as a child with her power reappears) Anna tells him about the circumstances that Arendelle and all her people are left behind. Horrified, Elsa whips out and accidentally freezes Anna's heart. Now even more appalled at the prospect of hurting his sister and the people with his powers, Elsa forces Anna, Kristoff and Olaf out by creating a gigantic snowman (called Marshmallow by Olaf), it is a symbol of her desire to be alone so as to be able to use her power without hurting even. After this, his ice palace became darker and more terrifying, reflecting his torturous and resurrecting fears. Meanwhile, Anna becomes weak day by day and Kristoff takes him back to the troll, who tells them that only "true love act" can save his life.
Hans and a group of soldiers attacked the now ugly ice palace. Elsa caught two soldiers trying to kill him. Hans convinces him to save them to prove that he is not a monster. However, he collapsed and was taken to his castle prison. Hans visited him and urged him to end the winter; Elsa admits that she does not know how to do it. After he leaves, he is able to free himself from the chain by freezing it and escaping from the cell, despite his fear triggering a massive snowstorm. Anna returns to the castle, believing that Hans's romantic kisses will be "the act of true love" to save her. Instead, he notes that his marriage offer (engagement) is the first step of a plot to give him the throne of Arendelle. Olaf tells Anna that Kristoff is in love with him and he believes that his kiss will heal him. They rushed to find Kristoff. Hans confronts Elsa and tells him that he has killed Anna. Feeling ruined, Elsa fainted and the snowstorm stopped abruptly. Hans approaches him and swings his sword to kill him, but Anna turns away from Kristoff who is approaching with his last strength and blocks Hans's attack as he froze.
Moments later, Anna begins to melt, because her choice to save her sister rather than herself is the necessary "act of love". Elsa realizes that love is the key to controlling her power and able to end the eternal winter of the kingdom. Summer returns to Arendelle, Elsa regains the throne and is able to use and control her power safely, while the bonds of the sisters are restored. He alienated Hans back to the Southern Islands to face punishment from his family and cut off trade with the Duke of Weselton city due to his previous behavior against him.
Frozen Fever
Nearly a year after the first film, Elsa tries to make her 19th birthday as perfect as possible as a way of compensating for the years they spend. To do so, he works very closely with Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf to make it happen. After making sure that his surprise party in the court yard was ready, he left Kristoff in charge as he went to get Anna. However, Elsa starts to cool down as she leads Anna's treasure hunt to find all the gifts she has made for her. Unwittingly, each sneeze he created created a small snowman called "snowgies", which created problems for Kristoff, Sven and Olaf. When Anna finds out that Elsa's cold gets worse, she tries in vain to get Elsa to stop pushing herself, even taking the medicine from Oaken if Elsa gets sicker. Unfortunately, Elsa's coldness makes her very tired and behaves like a drunk, and she almost falls from the Arendelle clock tower just for Anna to save her. After finally admitting that Anna was really sick after the previous incident, she allowed Anna to escort her home feeling that she had destroyed everything, and discovered that the party had succeeded successfully for Anna (as well as discovering her snow creations), and was still a little drunk , he ends the party by accidentally sneezing into the horn of a birthday horn, which inadvertently sends a giant snowball all the way to the Southern Isles and touches Hans who is now demoted, causing him to fall into a pile of horse dung. Afterwards, Anna tells Elsa who is now asleep that she has given her the best birthday by letting her take care of her.

They slide down the hill and Olaf and Sven are finally separated by a cliff. With only a fruit cake, Olaf tries to travel through the forest and is chased by wolves.
Meanwhile, Anna and Elsa find some forgotten items in their attic where they find items from their past. Sven returns to Kristoff and tells him (in vain), Anna, and Elsa about Olaf's fate. They gathered the people of Arendelle to go look for Olaf. Elsewhere, Olaf manages to escape from the wolves, but loses the fruit cake to the eagles and is surrendered by a tree not too far from the kingdom. Anna and Elsa found her and comforted her by revealing that they had a tradition: After Elsa had shut herself for years, Anna began annually shifting their snowman cards and dolls, Olaf, under her door.

Reception
Critical review
Elsa's character is widely praised by reviewers for her diverse and growing personality. Matt Goldberg of Collider.com commented that he was "a very sympathetic character", while Deepanjana Pal of First Post (India) praised the decision to rewrite as the protagonist and said, "Elsa is not evil, the vision is vague from crooked and poisonous maternity Snow White is a young woman in a difficult situation, frightened, trying to understand her abilities and burdened by hopes and conventions.It is easy to sympathize with her and admire her ability when she builds her spectacular castle in the mountains In addition, Anna is a child who must grow up and she does it on film. "James Croot of Stuff.co.nz compares his" insults and exile "with Simba in The Lion King. Katherine Webb, a reviewer for Wall St. Cheat Sheet , says that the scene depicting Elsa earns trust and individuality conveys an "interesting message to be sent to young girls looking for a new princess role model". Gary Wright of Rotoscopers states, "Her mental anxiety and her uncontrollable power define modern feminism, Elsa represents an infinite spirit of woman - strong and graceful, with the power to change the world."
Travis Bean of the Cedar Falls Times suggests that Elsa's ice powers, "personal oddities" that make him self-conscious, as well as his selfishness in pulling himself into isolation to avoid hurting others that allow children to connect more many with the Frozen plot . Laurie Levy of Chicago Now writes that her young grandchildren "admire Elsa for being intelligent, strong, magical, and strong" and do not care that she has no romantic children.
