The Snow Queen was among the stories that Disney's artists were developing. At around that time, artists at Disney were also visually developing animated adaptations of Andersen's stories (one of those stories, The Ugly Duckling, was released as a short film in 1939 and won an Oscar).

In 1936, producer Samuel Goldwyn came up with the idea to make a movie about Hans Christian Andersen that would feature several of his stories. So, how exactly did The Snow Queen become Frozen? Walt Disney's Original Snow Queen Movie Planĭisney's first planned adaptation of The Snow Queen did eventually get made - though not by Disney. The younger sister, Anna (Kristen Bell), resolves to bring Elsa home and break the ice spell hanging over Arendelle, and there are also friendly trolls, a talking snowman, and a wicked prince in the mix. Frozen instead followed two princess sisters who are driven apart when the older sister, Elsa (Idina Menzel), accidentally unleashes her magical ice powers and flees the kingdom. The Snow Queen's story seemed tailor-made for adaptation into a Disney movie, but by the time it made it to the big screen the story was substantially changed.

His friend Gerda decides to pursue him and bring him home, and has many adventures along the way. The original tale follows two childhood friends who are separated when the boy, Kay, gets splinters from a shattered demonic mirror stuck in his eye and his heart, and runs away with a mysterious and powerful woman called the Snow Queen. From the first efforts in the 1930s and 40s up until later stalled attempts in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Frozen was definitely a long time in the making.ĭirected by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, Frozen is a very loose adaptation of The Snow Queen. Frozen was a massive hit upon its release in 2013, three-quarters of a century after Walt Disney Pictures first began planning an animated adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen.
