When Walt Disney Pictures released an animated feature film
in 2013 that was inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale “The Snow
Queen”, its reception was beyond anyone’s wildest imagination. Five years
later, the popularity of Frozen is as
strong as ever and as beautifully choreographed as ever with the latest Disney
on Ice production.
The theme behind Frozen
is similar as other Disney classics – the power of true love. What makes this
film unique is the power representing sisters Anna and Elsa’s love instead of a
stereotypical love between a princess and a prince. When sharing this story live
on ice, the dynamic between the two royal sisters is captured in a new and
compelling way.
“In our many years of producing Disney on Ice shows, Feld Entertainment has been waiting for a film like this,” producer Nicole Feld said in a press release. “While it may seem obvious that Frozen is well suited for the ice, this Disney on Ice production will touch audiences emotionally through innovative show elements and world-class ice skating.”
Frozen directors
Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee add, “Seeing audiences around the world embrace Frozen has been the experience of a
lifetime. And to now have the chance to consult with the talented team at Feld
Entertainment and watch their creation come to life on ice, is thrilling.”
Disney on Ice presents Frozen
has everything you love about the film, from Elsa’s ice castle and snow monster
to sing-along favorites “Let It Go”, “Do You Want to Build A Snowman?” and “Fixer
Upper”. The set design is completely
immersive, capturing the smallest elements of Arendelle and bringing them to
life. The audience experiences scenes from Elsa’s coronation, Anna and Hans’
emotional scene near the fireplace, Kristoff’s interactions with Sven and so
much more in a series of extensive choreography, set design, lighting design
and costuming.
In addition to everyone’s Frozen favorites, the beginning and end of the show brings out characters
from Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Lion King
and beloved princesses Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel. Mickey,
Minnie, Donald and Goofy sport their best winter outfits as they play host for
the evening, preparing the crowd for a night of animation brought to life.
Disney on Ice continues to bring magic and wonder across the
country, and their production of Frozen
is no exception. The Academy Award® winning, number one animated feature
film of all time is just as mesmerizing on ice as it is on screen, and is a
must-see for all who enjoy the happiest place on earth and all that encompasses
it.
