Elsa the Snow Queen Original and Limited Edition Art

Queen Elsa of Arendelle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animated Studio's 53rd animated film Frozen (2013). She is voiced primarily by Broadway actress and singer Idina Menzel. At the beginning of the film, she is voiced by Eva Bella as a young child and by Spencer Lacey Ganus as a teenager. Created by director Chris Buck, Elsa is loosely based on the title character of The Snow Queen, a Danish fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson. In the Disney film adaption, she is introduced as the princess of the fictional Scandanavian kingdom of Arendelle, heiress to the throne and the elder sister of Princess Anna (Kristen Bell). Elsa has the magical ability to create and manipulate ice and snow but she loses grip on her control of the powers when her emotions are wildly unstable. She inadvertently sends Arendelle into an eternal winter on the evening of her coronation. Throughout the film, she struggles first with controlling and concealing her abilities and then with liberating herself from her fears of unintentionally harming others, especially her younger sister.
