Elsa from Frozen was meant to be an evil queen with an army of snow monsters. Elsa from Frozen was originally intended to be an evil queen with an army of snow monsters. That's according to the animated film's producer Peter Del Vecho, who says they completely re-wrote the ending.
In original drafts, Elsa was intended to be even darker than her literary counterpart, being a ruthless evil monarch that sought to rule the nearby kingdom. Her backstory changed often, but the most common one was that she was a mischievous rebel as a child, who was ostracized due to her behavior and powers.
Created by co-writers and directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, Elsa is loosely based on the title character of "The Snow Queen", a Danish fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.
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.
Kristen Bell (Anna) said simply, "that's up to Elsa." Jonathan Groff, who voices Kristoff, said, “I love that Elsa, unlike any other princess, is not defined by any kind of romantic relationship—that she's just an independent woman."

Is Frozen 3 confirmed?
On February 8, 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that Frozen 3 is in the works, along with Toy Story 5 and Zootopia 2. While news of a third Frozen film was a welcome one, we have yet to hear more details about the movie or see a trailer. Here's everything we know about Frozen 3.
Although Elsa's disability is encoded as a magical ice power, the language the film uses to talk about her condition maps on to the experiences of people with physical, mental, and intellectual disabilities in recognizable ways.
While the Snow Queen does not do anything particularly evil in the story, she does kiss Kay and make him forget his friends and family. She also holds Kay hostage and keeps in him a nearly frozen state. The Snow Queen is unloving and unfeeling.
The ice from which the palace is constructed is capable of taking on different colors, such as purple, blue, red and yellow, based on Elsa's emotional state (blue when she is happy or neutral, yellow or amber when she is angry, and red when she is frightened).
Towards the end of the movie, when Kristoff is holding Anna in his arms, his thumb passes through her torso for a moment. When Anna and Kristoff first meet Olaf, Anna throws Olaf's head back onto his body. At this point, from our perspective Anna is on the left and Kristoff is on the right with Sven.
Here's a look at every detail of Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky's relationship. They met in 2010 and got married just a few months later. They welcomed their first child in 2012 and their twins in 2014.
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.
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.
Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen", the film depicts a princess who sets off on a journey alongside an iceman, his reindeer, and a snowman to find her estranged sister, whose icy powers have inadvertently trapped their kingdom in eternal winter.
Initially, Elsa had short, spiky black hair, that would turn ice-blonde during the “Let It Go” sequence. This design provided more of a before/after contrast, but it was scrapped along with Elsa's role as a villain. Another design featured ice-blue skin and flaming blue hair.
Created from Elsa's magical powers, Olaf is by far the friendliest snowman in Arendelle. He is innocent, outgoing and loves all things summer. Olaf may be a bit naive, but his sincerity and good-natured temperament make him a true friend to Anna and Elsa.
What sets Elsa apart from the mass array of Disney princesses is her inner battle with mental illness, anxiety and depression. In Frozen II, Elsa is the only person who can hear a voice but everyone couldn't.
Elsa freezes in response to the trauma of discovering her family's colonial past. Similar to the plot in Frozen, Elsa is overcome with emotion and loses control of her powers — she is so overwhelmed by her own ice magic that she is literally frozen.
In both films, Elsa wears two wonderful dresses, each of which is a sign of her character in the two movies. The blue color of Elsa's dress in Frozen is a peace, quiet and loyal sign. People who use blue color like Elsa, think well before doing anything and environmental conditions do not make them irritable.
The Evil Queen is Snow White's vindictive wicked stepmother who is obsessed with being "the fairest in the land". The beautiful young princess Snow White evokes the Queen's sense of envy, so the Queen designs a number of plans to kill Snow White through the use of witchcraft.
And after Anna (Elizabeth Lail) visited the rock trolls (yep, those of "Fixer-Upper" fame), that particularl family lineage was confirmed: The Snow Queen is the sister of Elsa and Anna's mother, Gerda. Originally named Ingrid, she was wiped from everyone's memory, along with...
In the very first edition of fairy tales published by the Brothers Grimm (1812), the Evil Queen is Snow White's biological mother. This was changed in the second edition (1819) and beyond, making her the evil stepmother, which became the better-known version.
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.
Canonically, Elsa of Arendelle, who sits upon the tiny northern kingdom's throne at the end of Frozen, is not queer. Canonically, she is not romantically interested in anybody. And lest you wonder if that description means Elsa is asexual or aromantic, neither of those qualities is canon either.
