Nine brand-spanking new character stills are out courtesy Walt Disney Animation Studios' Facebook page giving us clearer descriptions and insights into the world of Frozen, from mysterious Elsa who's hiding a secret to goofy Olaf's real dream. The studio hopes to continue the success of their last two computer animated films Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph with new and original stories and content while Pixar and DreamWorks Animation have mostly been releasing sequels (albeit successful sequels) to their previous films. Frozen is loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen and will release this Thanksgiving.
ANNA
(voice of Kristen Bell)
Anna
is more daring than graceful and, at times, can act before she thinks.
But she’s also the most optimistic and caring person you’ll ever meet.
She longs to reconnect with her sister, Elsa, as they were close during
their childhood. When Elsa accidentally unleashes a magical secret that
locks the kingdom of Arendelle in an eternal winter, Anna embarks on a
dangerous adventure to make things right. Armed with only her
fearlessness, a never-give-up attitude and her faith in others, Anna is
determined to save both her kingdom and her family.
ELSA
(voice of Idina Menzel)
From
the outside, Elsa looks poised, regal and reserved, but in reality, she
lives in fear as she wrestles with a mighty secret—she was born with
the power to create ice and snow. It’s a beautiful ability, but also
extremely dangerous. Haunted by the moment her magic nearly killed her
younger sister Anna, Elsa has isolated herself, spending every waking
minute trying to suppress her growing powers. Her mounting emotions
trigger the magic, accidentally setting off an eternal winter that she
can’t stop. She fears she’s becoming a monster and that no one, not even
her sister, can help her.
HANS
(voice of Santino Fontana)
Hans
is a handsome royal from a neighboring kingdom who comes to Arendelle
for Elsa’s coronation. With 12 older brothers, Hans grew up feeling
practically invisible—and Anna can relate. Hans is smart, observant and
chivalrous. Unlike Elsa, Hans promises he’ll never shut Anna out; he
just might be the connection she’s been waiting for all these years.
KRISTOFF
(voice of Jonathan Groff)
Kristoff
is a true outdoorsman. He lives high up in the mountains where he
harvests ice and sells it to the kingdom of Arendelle. Rough around the
edges, Kristoff’s the strong, no-nonsense type, who follows his own set
of rules. He may seem like a loner, but he always has his best friend by
his side—a loyal and extremely mangy reindeer named Sven.
OLAF
(voice of Josh Gad)
He’s
Olaf and he likes warm hugs. Sprung from Elsa’s magical powers, Olaf is
by far the friendliest snowman to walk the mountains above Arendelle.
His innocence, outgoing personality and uncanny ability to disassemble
himself at good and not-so-good times lead to some awkward, albeit
laughable moments. He may also have the world’s most impossible dream,
but what he doesn’t know won’t melt him—or will it?
SVEN
A
reindeer with the heart of a Labrador, Sven is Kristoff’s loyal friend,
sleigh-puller and conscience. He makes sure his mountain-man companion
is the stand-up guy Sven knows and loves, and does so without saying a
word. A few emphatic snorts usually get his point across. Life would be
perfect if only Kristoff would lose that ridiculous reindeer voice he
likes to use when speaking for Sven (as if reindeers really talk that
way).
THE DUKE OF WESELTON
(voice of Alan Tudyk)
What
the Duke of Weselton lacks in stature, he makes up for in arrogance and
showboating. He’s determined to get close to the new queen—that is,
until Elsa’s magical secret is revealed. Then he’s the first to call her
a monster and try to turn her own kingdom against her—anything that
might help him exploit Arendelle’s tradable goods.
OAKEN
(voice of Chris Williams)
Oaken
runs Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna. But since Elsa’s massive
winter storm hits in mid-July, he finds himself with a surplus of
summer supplies. Deal-seekers beware: though he’s good-natured and
helpful, if you cross him, Oaken won’t hesitate to throw you out of his
humble establishment.
MARSHMALLOW
Marshmallow
is an enormous icy snowman born from Elsa’s powers. He serves as a
brute bodyguard charged with keeping intruders away from her ice palace.
The menacing white beast doesn’t say much, but he packs a powerful
punch.
