1. What is the sisters' kingdom called?
Arendelle
Arendelle is Norway with the names changed: the artists toured the fjords, and the wooden waterfront, stave church shapes and rosemaling painting all come from there. DunBroch is Merida's kingdom in Brave, Corona is Rapunzel's and Agrabah is Aladdin's.
2. What is the older sister's name?
Elsa
Elsa is twenty-one at her coronation, the day the gloves come off and the kingdom freezes, and she has spent the years since the childhood accident shut in her room. Iduna is the sisters' mother, and Astrid belongs to How to Train Your Dragon.
3. What is the younger sister's name?
Anna
Anna is eighteen and the one who rides out to bring her sister back, taking the role of Gerda in Andersen's The Snow Queen, the story the film loosely grew from. Andersen's Gerda is searching for a boy named Kai, which is where the castle steward got his name.
4. What can Elsa create with her powers?
Ice and snow
Elsa was born with the power, not cursed, as her father tells the trolls after she accidentally strikes Anna as a child. The gloves and the mantra 'Conceal, don't feel' are his idea for keeping it hidden, and they work right up until the coronation.
5. Who voices the adult Elsa?
Idina Menzel
Menzel was Broadway's original Elphaba in Wicked, where Kristin Chenoweth played Glinda opposite her, which is the trap in the list. Her Oscar night performance came after John Travolta introduced her as Adele Dazeem.
6. Who voices the adult Anna?
Kristen Bell
Bell, known for Veronica Mars, had been angling for a Disney musical for years and does her own singing. In Do You Want to Build a Snowman? the younger Annas are sung by Katie Lopez, the songwriters' daughter, and Agatha Lee Monn, the director's daughter.
7. What is the friendly snowman called?
Olaf
Olaf is the snowman the sisters built as children, brought back to life by Elsa's magic without her realizing it, which is why he knows them both. He dreams of summer in his own song, and Elsa gives him a personal snow flurry at the end so he can enjoy one.
8. Who voices Olaf?
Josh Gad
Gad was the original Elder Cunningham in The Book of Mormon, which Robert Lopez co-wrote before Frozen. Two of the other three are in the film too: Jonathan Groff voices Kristoff and Alan Tudyk the Duke of Weselton.
9. What is Kristoff's reindeer called?
Sven
Sven never speaks; Kristoff supplies his side of their conversations in a goofy voice, which is the gag behind Reindeers Are Better Than People. The two grew up together after being taken in as orphans, and Sven's great passion is carrots.
10. What does Kristoff sell for a living?
Ice
Kristoff is an ice harvester, and the opening number, Frozen Heart, shows the trade as it was practiced on Norwegian lakes in the nineteenth century, cut with saws and hauled by sled. An endless winter is a disaster for a man who sells frozen water.
11. Which prince quickly proposes to Anna?
Hans
Hans of the Southern Isles is the youngest of thirteen brothers, as he mentions in Love Is an Open Door, and he proposes on the day they meet. Elsa refuses to bless the wedding, which starts the argument that exposes her powers in front of the court.
12. Which song does Elsa sing while building her ice palace?
Let It Go
Elsa was written as a villain, closer to Andersen's Snow Queen, until the Lopezes delivered Let It Go and the filmmakers rewrote her as a frightened sister. The song won the Oscar for Best Original Song, and Demi Lovato's pop version runs over the credits.
13. Which creatures raised Kristoff?
Trolls
The rock trolls, led by Grand Pabbie, heal Anna after the childhood accident and later tell her that only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart. They took in Kristoff and Sven as orphans, and Fixer Upper is their attempt to marry him off.
14. Who runs the trading post and sauna Anna visits?
Oaken
Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna is holding a big summer blowout, so the winter supplies Kristoff needs are scarce and expensive, and Oaken throws him out when he objects. Weselton is the scheming duke, Kai the steward and Pabbie the troll elder.
15. Which writers created the film's songs?
Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez
Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez are a married couple, and the Oscar for Let It Go completed Robert's set of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards. Menken and Ashman wrote The Little Mermaid, the Shermans Mary Poppins, and John and Rice The Lion King.
