We didn’t want to tell a good versus evil story.” We kept her a villain for a long time and it wasn’t resonating with us. But The Snow Queen herself was like an enigma.
The original story by Hans Christian Andersen has a great theme about love versus negativity or fear that we love – we really liked that. That was really hard for us and I think that’s what’s made it such a challenging story to tell. In the original story, the Snow Queen is evil, but that’s not the case in FROZEN.ĭirector Jennifer Lee explained Elsa’s transformation from evil Snow Queen to a more relatable character: “(In) the original story she is a villain, she’s just pure evil and you don’t know anything about her. One of the aspects of FROZEN that we (as viewers) enjoyed so much was the fact that there was no scary, evil villain. When we met with FROZEN Directors Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee and Producer Peter Del Vecho last week inside the Disney Animation building, we learned the inside scoop on how they made the magic happen.
#SNOW QUEEN SCENE MAKER ELSA LET IT GO MOVIE#
In just 5 short years, director Chris Buck’s pitch to make Hans Christian Anderson’s classic story of The Snow Queen into a Disney animated movie went from dream to big screen reality. And, yes, I will be showing you the scene that I recorded…soon!Ĭhatting with FROZEN’s Directors and Producer Voice Recording – We had the crazy opportunity to step up to the microphone and become a character in FROZEN ourselves! Yes, we each had a chance to act and record a scene from the film.They were a fun bunch! About 70 animators teamed up to work on FROZEN, and I love that they would get together regularly to screen sections of the film as it was in progress only to find that they were so lost in the story and the music that they forgot they had jobs to do. Acting Through Animation – We met FROZEN’s Head of Animation, Lino DiSalvo, and members of his talented team as they demonstrated how they brought the characters of FROZEN to life, including how they would sit in front of mirrors late at night or put themselves in front of the camera in their office to discover the perfect expressions.We joined them in their computer lab to test out our skills at moving the characters….and let’s just say that we’ll be leaving the complicated animation process to the professionals!ĭid you know that FROZEN used 245 clothing rigs, which is more than 2 times the number of clothing rigs in all other Disney movies combined?! Elsa has 419,000 hairs on her head. Rigging Lab – FROZEN’s Rigging team is in charge of creating the tools for both the most detailed and believable human expression as well as a snowman who can fall to pieces.Later, we broke up into smaller groups (go Team Anna!) for some hands-on fun where we visited 3 different sections of the animation process: First, we met with the talented filmmakers of FROZEN – Disney veteran Director Chris Buck (“Tarzan”) and first-time Director Jennifer Lee (co-writer, “Wreck-It Ralph”), along with longtime Disney Producer Peter Del Vecho (“The Princess & the Frog”, “Winnie the Pooh”). The morning after our group of 25 bloggers walked the white carpet and saw the world premiere of Disney’s FROZEN, we drove down to the Disney Animation Studios for an exciting day talking with the people involved in making the film. Don’t forget that FROZEN opens in theaters tomorrow, November 27, 2013!
Group shot with the directors and producer (below) was taken by our very brave leader, Marshall from Disney. No other compensation has been exchanged and all opinions are my own. Disney invited me on an expense-paid trip to Los Angeles for the Disney Frozen Event so that I could report back to all of my readers about the movie and behind-the-scenes details.
