00:00:08,112 --> 00:00:11,472
It was an old fairy tale for
a new generation.
2
00:00:16,218 --> 00:00:18,786
The princesses were the heroes.
3
00:00:19,018 --> 00:00:21,261
I bet they're absolutely lovely.
4
00:00:21,512 --> 00:00:24,249
The handsome prince, the bad guy.
5
00:00:24,582 --> 00:00:25,512
Aah!
6
00:00:26,099 --> 00:00:28,333
The heartthrob needed a stylist.
7
00:00:28,462 --> 00:00:29,837
The breakout star?
8
00:00:30,674 --> 00:00:31,594
Olaf?
9
00:00:31,619 --> 00:00:34,884
I like to think it was this
devilishly good-looking snowman.
10
00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:41,204
But you won't believe how it all
came to be.
11
00:00:44,647 --> 00:00:51,130
Because the story of how we made "Frozen"
is as magical as the movie itself.
12
00:00:51,984 --> 00:00:53,887
This is amazing!

but now, before we start, I
got to level with you...
15
00:01:07,703 --> 00:01:09,904
I'm not really a snowman.

[ Grunts ]
17
00:01:11,633 --> 00:01:12,983
See the resemblance?
18
00:01:13,258 --> 00:01:15,936
Hi, folks. My real
name is Josh Gad.
19
00:01:16,224 --> 00:01:21,223
And welcome to the legendary
Walt Disney animation studios.
20
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:26,150
Nice, long, sweeping
lines around her face.
21
00:01:27,621 --> 00:01:29,444
This is all the painting here.
22
00:01:29,582 --> 00:01:35,588
Do you know that 600 people worked for 2
1/2 years to bring Anna, Elsa, Kristoff,
23
00:01:35,743 --> 00:01:37,114
and yours truly to life?
24
00:01:37,139 --> 00:01:38,898
Fixer-upper!
25
00:01:38,923 --> 00:01:40,423
I'm in love with the animators.
26
00:01:41,545 --> 00:01:44,571
They're the true heroes of this
whole thing.
27
00:01:44,596 --> 00:01:48,723
In creating a character in animation,
two people are really vital.
28
00:01:48,985 --> 00:01:50,272
Did I say that out loud?
29
00:01:50,450 --> 00:01:52,699
The voice actor and the
animator.
30
00:01:52,724 --> 00:01:53,778
When she throws the crown.
31
00:01:54,038 --> 00:01:55,886
They together make
the character.
32
00:01:55,946 --> 00:01:57,217
You look beautiful.
33
00:01:57,242 --> 00:02:00,471
We're gonna tell you all kinds
of things about how they did it.
34
00:02:00,702 --> 00:02:03,550
But first, another
surprising detail.
35
00:02:03,609 --> 00:02:05,382
"Frozen" almost didn't get made.
36
00:02:05,407 --> 00:02:07,490
I'm guessing you don't have
much experience with heat.
37
00:02:07,515 --> 00:02:08,807
Get ready for this...
38
00:02:08,832 --> 00:02:13,194
It took 70 years to get this
movie into production.
39
00:02:13,219 --> 00:02:17,367
The origin story of "Frozen" is "the
snow queen" by Hans Christian Andersen,
40
00:02:17,555 --> 00:02:21,707
and Disney had been trying to develop
that story for many, many years.
41
00:02:21,813 --> 00:02:25,559
Walt Disney dreamed of doing
it as long ago as 1937.
42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,580
Well, how about the one we've always
wanted to do and never got around to?
43
00:02:29,184 --> 00:02:31,551
But it never quite
happened, and eventually,
44
00:02:31,552 --> 00:02:34,544
animated princess movies
just went out of style.
45
00:02:34,569 --> 00:02:42,240
A lot of people felt that the world had
grown too cynical for a sincere fairy tale.
46
00:02:43,824 --> 00:02:45,828
They said, "we're not
gonna make another one."
47
00:02:46,457 --> 00:02:50,793
And so when Ed Catmull and I came in,
we go, "yeah, we're gonna change that.
48
00:02:50,818 --> 00:02:51,970
We want to do this."
49
00:02:52,343 --> 00:02:57,741
So we started out by bringing back hand-drawn
animation with "the princess and the frog."
50
00:02:57,971 --> 00:02:59,380
Then they made "Tangled"....
51
00:03:00,387 --> 00:03:03,320
And then went back to
tackling "The Snow Queen"...
52
00:03:03,658 --> 00:03:05,534
This time, with a whole new name.
53
00:03:05,559 --> 00:03:07,631
And voila!
54
00:03:07,656 --> 00:03:11,926
This is so nice. Oh! I wish it
could be like this all the time.
55
00:03:12,197 --> 00:03:14,210
Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel.
56
00:03:14,235 --> 00:03:16,584
What power do you have to
stop this winter?
57
00:03:17,326 --> 00:03:18,482
To stop me?
58
00:03:18,507 --> 00:03:21,965
They're amazing with what they
brought to these characters.
59
00:03:23,984 --> 00:03:25,465
There? Here?
60
00:03:25,632 --> 00:03:28,320
Oh, are you sure? 'Cause I don't
think I'm supposed... oh.
61
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,093
Kristen brought this wonderful,
goofy, real girl character
62
00:03:33,094 --> 00:03:36,763
that people can relate to because she
has her faults and everybody does,
63
00:03:36,788 --> 00:03:41,087
so it really makes the character
come to life and become believable.
64
00:03:41,372 --> 00:03:43,849
Oh! Hey!
65
00:03:43,874 --> 00:03:46,491
I did look at Kristen's
recording sessions,
66
00:03:46,516 --> 00:03:50,573
and what I got from it was just
some of the goofy things she'd do.
67
00:03:50,598 --> 00:03:55,024
I mean, you look beautifuller.
Just by watching her expressions.
68
00:03:55,049 --> 00:03:59,623
I kept pushing for her to
be quirkier and goofier
69
00:03:59,648 --> 00:04:02,198
because that's how I felt
as a kid growing up.
70
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:04,084
I'm awkward. You're gorgeous.
71
00:04:04,109 --> 00:04:06,811
- Wait, what?
- I sort of embraced having a
72
00:04:06,836 --> 00:04:10,234
not-so-standard princess personality.
73
00:04:10,259 --> 00:04:12,983
- I'm completely ordinary.
- That's right... she is.
74
00:04:14,018 --> 00:04:15,401
Keep the thing the best way.
75
00:04:15,426 --> 00:04:18,245
I really wanted to make
Anna different.
76
00:04:18,270 --> 00:04:22,903
And I wanted her to be a role model
for little girls who were like me.
77
00:04:23,395 --> 00:04:25,405
I love that she's a real girl.
78
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:28,695
She wakes up with messy hair,
with the hair in her mouth.
79
00:04:29,408 --> 00:04:30,201
Yeah?
80
00:04:30,226 --> 00:04:34,225
You're always recorded, so you can
come to work in your pajamas,
81
00:04:34,250 --> 00:04:36,018
but someone is going
to view that tape.
82
00:04:36,130 --> 00:04:39,787
So you have two cameras on
you at all times to catch,
83
00:04:40,381 --> 00:04:43,724
like, itsy-bitsy imperceptible
movements of your face,
84
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:46,335
of your eyebrows, where
you use your hands.
85
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,028
It adds so much dimension
to these characters.
86
00:04:50,323 --> 00:04:54,268
Becky Bresee also used another
actress to capture Anna herself.
87
00:04:54,293 --> 00:04:58,602
I have a camera at my desk, and I shoot a
little movie of myself acting the scene out.
88
00:04:58,627 --> 00:05:00,427
Witch, that's part of
the joy of my job.
89
00:05:00,452 --> 00:05:01,835
This is what the reference was.
90
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,698
Sorry. I'm sorry.
91
00:05:03,723 --> 00:05:04,316
I didn't...
92
00:05:05,226 --> 00:05:07,515
We leave... now. Right now.
93
00:05:07,540 --> 00:05:10,017
What I'm taking from this
are poses or expressions.
94
00:05:10,042 --> 00:05:13,815
Like in this scene, I didn't quite
know where to put my hands.
95
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:14,550
I was uncomfortable.
96
00:05:14,575 --> 00:05:18,366
I thought, "ooh, that would be good for the
fact that she is a little uncomfortable."
97
00:05:19,385 --> 00:05:21,887
We leave now. Right now.
98
00:05:23,522 --> 00:05:26,157
What it is, it's putting those
little truths into your scene,
99
00:05:26,158 --> 00:05:29,007
that really makes the character come
to life a she becomes believable.
100
00:05:29,749 --> 00:05:31,593
For the younger versions
of Anna and Elsa,
101
00:05:31,594 --> 00:05:34,861
Becky also found inspiration
from her own family.
102
00:05:35,137 --> 00:05:38,621
My daughters, some of the scenes with Anna
and Elsa in the beginning of the movie,
103
00:05:38,646 --> 00:05:40,530
they acted some of those
scenes out for me.
104
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:42,139
What? No. No, no no, no.
105
00:05:42,164 --> 00:05:46,452
Idina also brought this
wonderful vulnerability to Elsa.
106
00:05:46,477 --> 00:05:50,020
When I was a kid, I had this voice,
and so I would hide it all the time,
107
00:05:50,023 --> 00:05:52,812
so I completely related
to this character.
108
00:05:52,837 --> 00:05:57,056
When Idina came to the studio to
visit, she talked to the animators.
109
00:05:57,071 --> 00:06:00,784
They sat me down in front of
a group of about 80 of them,
110
00:06:00,809 --> 00:06:01,933
which I thought it was
just gonna be three.
111
00:06:01,958 --> 00:06:06,291
Maybe it was a little bit overwhelming
for her. She was a little bit nervous.
112
00:06:06,316 --> 00:06:09,324
And I was thinking, "this is
kind of like Elsa."
113
00:06:09,349 --> 00:06:11,185
But when Idina started singing.
114
00:06:11,210 --> 00:06:15,576
♪ The past is in the past ♪
115
00:06:15,601 --> 00:06:17,097
All of that changed.
116
00:06:17,122 --> 00:06:20,530
You could see the power come out of her.
It was amazing.
117
00:06:20,555 --> 00:06:24,235
Idina worked with animators to make
Elsa's singing feel realistic.
118
00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:26,449
They wanted to know how I
sing, really.
119
00:06:26,474 --> 00:06:27,784
What do I do when I breathe?
120
00:06:27,809 --> 00:06:32,299
She talked about how when singing you
use your diaphragm. It's very subtle.
121
00:06:32,324 --> 00:06:34,473
That's what this control does
right here.
122
00:06:35,742 --> 00:06:39,113
You can kind of get the sense
that she's actually breathing.
123
00:06:39,567 --> 00:06:41,114
It's a puppet, it's not real,
124
00:06:41,139 --> 00:06:45,569
but you want to make sure that it feels like
she's taking in oxygen and she's breathing.
125
00:06:45,594 --> 00:06:48,871
Idina talked to them, they added
it, and it just, like... bink!
126
00:06:49,406 --> 00:06:52,014
It just... all of a sudden,
she seemed more real.
127
00:06:53,611 --> 00:06:58,415
The writers, animators, and actors worked
together to find the voice of each character.
128
00:06:58,416 --> 00:07:00,119
It's a palace made of ice!
129
00:07:00,144 --> 00:07:02,877
And sometimes, the
odd reindeer, too.
130
00:07:02,878 --> 00:07:07,992
It felt psychotic to be talking as
Kristoff and then also as Sven.
131
00:07:08,017 --> 00:07:11,956
♪ Let's call it a night
good night ♪
132
00:07:11,981 --> 00:07:13,982
I think Sven would probably
say to Kristoff.
133
00:07:14,458 --> 00:07:17,865
"Kristoff, why are you trying to
such a tough guy?
134
00:07:17,890 --> 00:07:19,983
You know you're in love with
Anna."
135
00:07:20,354 --> 00:07:22,663
And then Kristoff would be like,
"no, I'm not in love with Anna.
136
00:07:22,688 --> 00:07:23,477
What are you talking about?"
137
00:07:23,502 --> 00:07:27,932
You know, just that sort of back and forth
makes you feel like a crazy person,
138
00:07:27,957 --> 00:07:29,255
but it's so much fun.
139
00:07:31,914 --> 00:07:34,641
And then there was this guy.
140
00:07:35,027 --> 00:07:38,558
Hi, everyone. I'm Olaf.
And I like warm hugs.
141
00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:40,457
Olaf is an animator's dream.
142
00:07:40,482 --> 00:07:41,827
I really like this guy.
143
00:07:41,852 --> 00:07:44,582
I mean, here's a character
that you can pull apart.
144
00:07:44,846 --> 00:07:46,281
Man, am I out of shape!
145
00:07:47,156 --> 00:07:49,603
Put back together in
different forms.
146
00:07:49,604 --> 00:07:51,111
There was a lot we could do
with him.
147
00:07:51,897 --> 00:07:54,357
Olaf's not Olaf without Josh Gad.
148
00:07:55,026 --> 00:07:55,704
Yes.
149
00:07:56,190 --> 00:07:59,700
- Yellow.
- No, not yellow. Yellow and snow?
150
00:07:59,725 --> 00:08:01,156
[ Shudders ] No go.
151
00:08:01,837 --> 00:08:05,831
Josh would go into that recording
booth and just put himself into it.
152
00:08:05,856 --> 00:08:08,791
Hi. I am Olaf, and
I like warm hugs.
153
00:08:08,816 --> 00:08:12,407
And for an extra flower,
I'm also a love expert.
154
00:08:13,745 --> 00:08:19,241
And just the little movements and especially
his facial expressions were very helpful.
155
00:08:19,266 --> 00:08:21,889
I don't have a skull or bones.
156
00:08:22,037 --> 00:08:25,589
Like everyone else, Hyrum
found inspiration close to home.
157
00:08:25,723 --> 00:08:28,054
- Say hi, Tim.
- Hi, Tim!
158
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,062
I actually looked to my
little boy Timmy at home,
159
00:08:31,063 --> 00:08:36,759
to try and look at his little mannerisms and
the things that he did to animate Olaf,
160
00:08:36,784 --> 00:08:41,195
and it led to things like really
keeping him light, he hops a lot.
161
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:44,493
We really tried to keep him in a
childlike feel to his character.
162
00:08:44,617 --> 00:08:48,381
And Hyrum found even more inspiration
in the family scrapbook.
163
00:08:50,738 --> 00:08:51,653
I am an Osmond.
164
00:08:51,654 --> 00:08:55,112
There's a small tribute in
"Frozen" to my Uncle Donny.
165
00:08:55,137 --> 00:09:00,227
It's during the "love is an open door" song,
as they're walking from the waterfall,
166
00:09:00,252 --> 00:09:03,385
that big note where Hans
kind of belts it out.

00:39:09,287 --> 00:39:10,710
Common in adolescents.
665
00:39:10,735 --> 00:39:14,111
- Diagnosis... puberty.
- Whoa! What?!
666
00:39:14,536 --> 00:39:17,911
Cool, huh? Now, I know my
mother's at home right now going,
667
00:39:17,936 --> 00:39:21,416
"but I wanted to hear what the
characters in 'Frozen' have in store!"
668
00:39:21,615 --> 00:39:24,755
So we have one more pretty
cool announcement left.
669
00:39:24,934 --> 00:39:29,098
We are bringing back the characters
from "Frozen," and we're doing a short.
670
00:39:29,123 --> 00:39:34,753
It'll have a new song. Basically the whole
crew is returning. It's absolutely hilarious.
671
00:39:34,868 --> 00:39:39,216
Well, that's all for now.
Don't forget to visit us online,
672
00:39:39,989 --> 00:39:41,864
'cause we've got lots of cool
stuff there.
673
00:39:42,124 --> 00:39:46,238
And make sure you check in with
us at #makingFrozen.
674
00:39:46,263 --> 00:39:51,389
I'm Josh Gad. Thank you, and
have a wonderful night.
675
00:39:51,698 --> 00:39:52,729
And don't forget.
676
00:39:52,754 --> 00:40:00,802
I like warm hugs. Hope you
had a great summer, bye!
