Menzel also starred in the original cast of Disney’s Aida the Musical by Elton John and Tim Rice. 2) Kristoff – voiced by Jonathan Groff, an actor/singer who starred in one the lead roles in the musical, Spring Awakening on Broadway. He also starred in the musicals Hair and Fame. 3) Prince Hans – voiced by Santino Fontana, who was in the musical, Billy Elliott. 4) Olaf the Snowman – voiced by Josh Gad, an actor/singer who starred as the Elder Arnold Cunningham in the Broadway musical, Book of Mormon. One of the songs from Frozen, Let it Go, was performed at this summer’s D23 Expo by Idina Menzel. Here’s a taste of that song performed at D23: <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXs-f5iy4PE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...-f5iy4PE</a> One of the reasons that Frozen looks like Tangled is because Disney had shelved the 2002 Snow Queen project indefinitely until Tangled came along and was a success for the studio. Hoping to repeat the success of Tangled, The Snow Queen was brought back to life, changing it from a 2D hand drawn animated film to a computer generated animated film like Tangled, and changing the name to Frozen. Incidentally, when the Snow Queen project was renamed Frozen, there was also another film named Frozen coming out, a horror film about three skiers/snow boarders getting stranded on ski lift chair for a very long time. Frozen 2010, the horror movie, has nothing to do with Frozen 2013, Disney’s animated musical, comedy adventure.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros With Princess and the Frog, Tangled, and now Frozen all being released in quick succession of each other, I wonder if there will be an oversaturation of the princess market. I know that each year brings around a new generation of little girls, but it still seems like Disney is focusing too heavily on a very small theme while ignoring a broad variety of available material
