Frozen Rewrote The Disney Princess Narrative — And 12 Years Later, It’s Still Relevant

In the final week of November 2013, Disney released a little film set in a fictional kingdom in Norway in the 1840s. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen, it told the tale of two sisters who are close as children but become estranged as adults. You might have heard of it — Frozen, a film that transcended typical box office success to become a cultural touchstone for children around the world. The sisters are, of course, the imperious Elsa, voiced by Tony Award-winning actor Idina Menzel, and the ebullient Anna, voiced by Kristen Bell, both princesses of Arendelle.
