When they showed what was finished of the film to a Story Trust group several months prior to release, many were still confused about who the voice was supposed to belong to. It was after that the decision was made to fully commit to the voice calling to Elsa being that of her mother, Iduna.
Disney's Frozen 2 sees Elsa searching for who she really is as she follows a mysterious voice. In Disney+'s Into the Unknown: Making of Frozen 2 co-director Jennifer Lee confirms the voice is Elsa's mother Iduna (Evan Rachel Wood) who she sees as she reaches Ahtohallan in the ice.
So because Elsa is the gift of Iduna's good deed, the fifth spirit who was chosen to rectify the evil deeds committed by her grandfather, it is why the voice calling to her is that of her mother when she did the first right thing by saving Agnarr.
Frozen 2 makes Elsa the immortal fifth spirit, giving the Disney film a happy ending but with some horrible implications for the future. Disney's Frozen 2 may have caused Elsa to be reborn as an immortal magical spirit, but that's not all good news for her.
After her performance as Elsa in 2013's Frozen, Idina Menzel returns to voice the ice queen once again. Menzel sang the movie's hit "Let it Go," which won the Oscar for best original song and also won a Grammy at the 2015 ceremony.

Why did they change Elsa's voice?
In Frozen 2, Elsa's voice changed slightly to reflect the character's growth and evolution since the events of the first film. Idina Menzel worked closely with the filmmakers and the voice over agency to ensure that her performance captured the changes in Elsa's character.
The mysterious siren call Elsa began hearing three years into her reign was that of her mother. The call led her to Ahtohallan, where Elsa was able to discover her true calling and the truth about the curse placed on the Enchanted Forest.
There hasn't been any indication that Elsa will have a girlfriend in Frozen III. That said, some fans have theorized that Honeymaren, a member of the Northuldra tribe, will be Elsa's girlfriend in the next Frozen film. Honeymaren was introduced in Frozen II as a resident of the Enchanted Forest.
It has a slot for November 2024 and November 2025 for “untitled Disney animation”, according to Business Insider. Again, assuming that Frozen 3 is following the same release pattern as its predecessors, it's safe to bet that it will be released November 26, 2025.
When they showed what was finished of the film to a Story Trust group several months prior to release, many were still confused about who the voice was supposed to belong to. It was after that the decision was made to fully commit to the voice calling to Elsa being that of her mother, Iduna.
Anna's parents rush her to the sacred realm, where discussions with the trolls reveal that Elsa was born with her powers/ depigmentation and deafness, rather than them being due to illness or accident. Grand Pabbie troll heals Anna but removes her memories of Elsa's magic.
Why didn't Elsa's mom tell her husband she saved him?
Due to the bad blood between their people, Iduna kept both her heritage and her rescue of Agnarr in the forest a secret for many years, though she finally confessed everything to him shortly before their deaths.
She died and was reborn to take on her true form like has happened in so many stories before. With that transformation, Frozen 2 has made Elsa an immortal spirit now. Like how Frozen 2's other four spirits appear as animals but more than just that, Elsa still appears human but is more than just that.
But she also has hidden disabilities — obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety disorder. So Elsa, the queen whose hidden condition is dramatically revealed, feels like an ally. "Elsa says, 'I don't care what they're going to say,' and I love that line," Liebowitz says.
Frozen 3 could also naturally bring Elsa and Honeymaren together as a couple since they both live in the same location by the end of Frozen 2: the Enchanted Forest. After Elsa discovers she's the fifth spirit, she finds her calling as the mediator between the natural world and civilization.
Elysium is the first daughter of Elsa and Jack Frost, protagonists in Frozen and Rise of the Guardians. She is also a Princess of Arendelle and Junior Guardian of Winter. She is the older sister to Elise and is the first heir to the Throne of Arendelle.
However, the filmmakers were willing to say one thing definitively: "Elsa's not going to have a romantic relationship in this," writer-director Jennifer Lee told a group of journalists gathered at Walt Disney Animation Studios.
While they're in there, Anna and Elsa also discover another twist: They're half-Northuldran. Their mother, it turns out, was a tribe member who saved their father during the battle, escaped with him out of the forest, and later married him.
Under this stress, Elsa accidentally injures Anna with her powers. Their parents, the King and Queen of Arendelle, take Anna to the magical trolls who heal her but also alter her memories so that she has no knowledge of Elsa's powers. This fright led the King and Queen to isolate both Elsa and Anna from the kingdom.
Both characters have two daughters (Agnarr is the father to Elsa and Anna, while Big Bob is the father to Olga and Helga). In Frozen II, Agnarr is voiced by Alfred Molina, while Iduna is voiced by Evan Rachel Wood. The two had previously voiced the Fairy King and his daughter, Marianne, respectively, in Strange Magic.
