(For an interesting video about the relationship between the Sami, Norway, and the making of Frozen 2, click here.) Anna and Elsa are not white either. They are Northuldra raised Arendellian, aka Native Raised Other. Regardless of where they end up by the end of the movie, they are and always will be Native women.
Disney tours in Norway even claim Bergen as the “storybook village” that was the “inspiration for Arendelle, the kingdom and home to Anna and her sister Elsa.”
In the Disney film adaptation, she is introduced as a princess in the fictional Scandinavian Kingdom of Arendelle, heiress to the throne and the elder sister of Anna (Kristen Bell).
The hiddenness of Anna and Elsa's biracial identity touches on a long history of passing—either voluntarily or non-voluntarily—by many bi- and multi-racial people.
Heavily influenced by Norwegian nature, culture and traditions, Frozen introduced us to unforgettable characters like Queen Elsa and her sister Anna, the ice harvester Kristoff and his reindeer Sven, Olaf the snowman and a bunch of cheeky trolls.
No, Elsa and Rapunzel are not twins. However, it seems likely that they are cousins. We see the specifics of Rapunzel's birth in Tangled. The queen of Corona must have been Rapunzel's mother, or else the flower's powers could not have transferred to Rapunzel's hair.
Anna and Elsa's last name in Frozen has finally been decoded as Agnarrsdatter or Idunasdatter, based on historical context and naming patterns in Norway in the 1860s or 1870s.
While it's rumoured that the Austrian town of Hallstatt inspired the setting of Frozen's Arendelle, and the look and feel of the village came from Norway's second city, Bergen, it's also said that the mass of water next to it was inspired by the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord in Norway.
Hans is a prince who takes the role of suitor for Princess Anna of Arendelle. Handsome and charming, he quickly proposes marriage to Anna after bumping into her on the day of her sister Elsa's coronation and she immediately accepts.
FROZEN is an original story, loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's “The Snow Queen.” Published in 1845, “The Snow Queen” begins when a magic mirror created by trolls shatters, causing pieces of it to lodge in the heart and eye of a boy named Kai.
For example, Elsa and Anna from Frozen are Norwegian, Jasmine from Aladdin speaks Arabic, and Snow White is German. The result is two videos, each featuring five different Disney princesses singing their signature tune in their native tongue.
Moana as she appears in Moana (2016). Inspired by Polynesian mythology, Moana is depicted as the strong-willed daughter of a chief of a Polynesian village, who is chosen by the ocean itself to reunite a mystical relic with the goddess Te Fiti.
The state religion of Arendelle, the fictional setting in Disney's Frozen (2013) and its sequels, is probably similar to the real world Evangelical Lutheran Church of Norway, as other posters have noted.
DiscussingFilm, a reliable source for film updates, has confirmed that Frozen 3 is set to hit theaters in 2026. While the specific release date within the year remains elusive, fans can anticipate a cinematic return at some point during this timeline.
At the beginning of the film, Olaf is an inanimate snowman created by Elsa and Anna in their childhood. He then reappears in the film as an anthropomorphic snowman created by Elsa's ice powers, and helps Anna and Kristoff in their journey to find Elsa.
Olaf may not have a gender, strictly speaking, but he's always been played by men: voiced by Josh Gad in the 2013 movie and played by Greg Hildreth on Broadway. That will change when Ryann Redmond steps into the role starting Feb.
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.
The home of Anna and Elsa is a fictional location made for the purposes of the magical world of the Frozen franchise, but Arendelle and its people are based on the Scandinavia region of northern Europe, which encompasses Denmark, Norway, and Sweeden.
