How Elsa became a fem The 21st century Disney princess

DISNEY’S dreams of a white, and wealthy, Christmas are about to come true in spectacular style.

Cinema’s hottest hit is virtually certain to be Frozen II.

Children obsessed by the 2013 original can finally Let It Go because a new avalanche of princesses, adventure and laughter is about to overwhelm them.

Favourites Elsa, her sister Anna, Kristoff, snowman Olaf and reindeer Sven are all back.

They head to an enchanted land and face danger to find the origins of Elsa’s power and save their kingdom.

Frozen II has all the ingredients of a Disney animated classic and is shaping up to be an unstoppable force when it hits our screens on Friday. Even the trailer was a huge hit. It was viewed more than 116 million times in its first 24 hours.

And with Frozen earning £1billion, hell will freeze over if the sequel does not n rake in a fortune.

But why did Frozen become the highest- grossing animated film of all time? Aside from a strong plot and great songs s – Let It Go won one of its two Oscars – Frozen had a very modern empowered heroine in Elsa.

She is a girly but gutsy role model who is stunning but sassy and who can fight her own battles without a handsome prince to save her.

The strong hint of a f flawed heroine and s stumbling super hero a also runs t hrough Frozen II. But there will also be changes in the sequel as Kristen Bell, w who voices Elsa’s sister A Anna explains.

She says: “The world h has totally changed. W We go on an entirely new and somewhat dangerous adventure as these characters outs side t he walls of

As Arendelle to get ans swers about Elsa’s p powers.

“Along the way we m mp meet a lot of new people a nd we discover some probl lems from the past t that affect the future o of the kingdom.”

And despite bei ing a huge magical aai I adventure, Frozen II also feels very p personal to

Kristen. Some of
