Kristen Bell Reacts to Andy Cohen's Son Disliking Elsa from Frozen
Kristen Bell, the voice of Princess Anna in Disney's Frozen, was surprised to learn from Andy Cohen that his son, Benjamin, dislikes Elsa, Anna's sister, from the movie. Cohen shared this revelation during Bell's appearance on SiriusXM's Radio Andy. Benjamin, 6, is a big fan of Anna and has a strong dislike for Elsa, a character with magical ice powers. Bell was taken aback by Benjamin's strong feelings towards Elsa, as she had never heard such sentiments before.
In the 2013 animated film Frozen, Kristen Bell voiced Princess Anna, while Idina Menzel portrayed Elsa. The story revolves around the relationship between the two princesses, with Elsa struggling to control her powers. Bell was intrigued by Benjamin's dislike for Elsa and questioned why he found her horrible. Despite the revelation, Cohen and Bell moved on to record their interview.
Kristen Bell has voiced Anna in both Frozen and its 2019 sequel, alongside Jonathan Groff as Kristoff and Josh Gad as Olaf the snowman. The actress will reprise her role in Frozen 3, set to premiere in November 2027. Disney has also confirmed a fourth Frozen film. Bell's daughters, Lincoln and Delta, have not been as enthusiastic about Frozen as one might expect, with Bell acknowledging that kids often reject things their parents are involved in.
Bell shared her experience of shaping Anna's character to be relatable and imperfect, unlike traditional Disney princesses. She wanted Anna to be quirky, talkative, and endearing, with flaws that made her more relatable to audiences. Bell expressed gratitude for the collaborative process of developing Anna's personality and felt proud of her contribution to the character. The actress continues to find joy in seeing Anna on screen and remains thankful for the opportunity to bring the character to life.
