How Are The 'Frozen' Characters Unique? It Is All In The Details
Frozen characters Anna and Elsa are like two peas in a pod. They are sisters yet are distinctly different from each other. Apart from hair colour and clothes, there are more nuanced differences.
Anna
and
Elsa
are
like
two
peas
in
a
pod,
as
they
are
sisters,
and
yet
are
distinctly
different
from
each
other.
Apart
from
the
obvious
changes
in
hair
colour
and
clothes,
there
are
more
nuanced
differences.
These
differences
emerge
from
the
two
sisters'
personalities
-
the
warm,
awkward
and
expressive
Anna
and
the
kind,
proper
and
controlled
Elsa.
The
question,
how
would
these
different
personalities
act
in
a
certain
situation,
guides
the
character
design.
On
'Frozen
2
Country
Day'
in
October
at
the
Disney
Animation
Studio,
the
filmmakers
showed
a
glimpse
of
the
number
of
iterations
it
took
to
get
an
angry
Elsa
and
an
angry
Anna
absolutely
right.
While
the
poised
Elsa
gets
angry
but
at
the
same
time
is
seeking
a
solution
for
the
situation,
younger
Anna
simply
reacts
to
the
situation
and
her
expression
is
more
undisguised.
This
is
how
the
characters
evolve
and
appear
distinct
in
an
animated
movie.
The
filmmakers
have
to
endow
the
characters
with
a
personality
and
stay
true
to
the
character
through
the
film.
In
fact,
the
questions,
what
would
Anna
do
and
what
would
Elsa
do,
helped
form
the
blueprint
of
the
two
characters.
Not
just
their
expressions,
but
also
their
choice
of
clothing
reflects
who
Anna
and
Elsa
are.
Elsa
is
magical,
of
course,
and
one
of
the
perks
of
being
such
is
that
you
can
design
your
own
clothes!
Or
so
we
think.
So,
Elsa's
clothes
are
not
made
of
materials
you
would
traditionally
find
in
Norway,
where
Arendelle
is
located.
She
weaves
her
dresses
from
the
icy
blue
threads
she
spins;
her
clothes
have
a
light,
icy,
magical
quality.
Elsa's
clothing
is
also
replete
with
motifs
associated
with
ice.
You
will
find
traces
near
the
bodice,
at
the
hems.
Anna's
clothes
are
designed
to
show
her
connection
to
her
roots
-
the
Kingdom
of
Arendelle.
Her
dresses
have
motifs
associated
with
her
home.
The
filmmakers
have
used
these
personality
clues
abundantly
throughout
the
film.
Remember
these
details
when
you
watch
the
movie
and
you
will
learn
much
more
about
the
characters
than
what
simply
meets
the
eye.
