These designs depicted her with spiky black or dark blue hair and even blue gray skin, a more angular body as opposed to the final, heroic Elsas curvaceous body and a constantly malicious smile. Some concept art depicted her with a group of pet ermines who scurried up and down her body and formed themselves into a cloak for her. Instead of being fearful and insecure about not wanting to reveal her powers, Elsa would have been very hostile and bitter toward others and simply resented everyone, especially Anna, whom she was incredibly jealous of because of the royal status she held. Songwriter Kristen Anderson Lopez stated in a 2. Elsas original motivation throughout the film was to freeze Annas heart to take over the kingdom. Puppy! Downloading. However, this did not work out very well, as it would have been difficult for her to reform if she was an outright evil villain, and after listening to the song Let It Go, intended to be Elsas villain song when it was written, the writers realized that her motivations of self empowerment and wanting to be herself were too positive to be expressed by a villain and did not fit the villain role, and as a result, instead of changing the lyrics they ended up changing the plot, and therefore the character was changed from a villainous role to an anti heroic role seen in the actual film. Voice. Actress and singer Megan Mullally was originally cast to voice Elsa,3 but was replaced by Broadway actress Idina Menzel, best known for performing Elphaba from Wicked when the story changed. Menzel had previously auditioned for a lead role in the 2. Disney animated feature film, Tangled. She was not cast for the part, but the casting director recorded her singing and later showed the recording to Frozens film executives. Menzel was surprised when she was subsequently asked to audition, and she received the role after reading the script out loud. Director Chris Buck believed that Menzels vocals would help in the portrayal of the character, saying, Idina has a sense of vulnerability in her voice. She plays a very strong character, but someone who lives in fearso we needed someone who could portray both sides of the character, and Idina was just amazing. In an interview with Menzel, she acknowledged the similarities between Elsa and Elphaba. She mentioned they were both very powerful and misunderstood individuals, and she herself could relate to the characters, having hidden her singing talent from her peers at school. I didnt want to alienate anyone, she explained. If everyone was singing along in the car to a Madonna song, I didnt join in because when were younger were afraid of sticking out or showing off when in fact we should own those things that make us really unique. Characterization. Following the casting of Idina Menzel, Elsas characterization underwent several alterations. According to Menzel, she was originally scripted as a one dimensional antagonist but was gradually revised as a more vulnerable, multifaceted figure. Menzel further described her character as extremely complicated and misunderstood. Director Jennifer Lee stated that Elsa is largely driven by fear throughout the film. Producers identified the scene in which Elsa sings Let It Go as a pivotal point in the characters development, as the scene depicts her choice to let go of her fear of using her powers and be herself. Character design supervisor Bill Schwab said, Before Let It Go, Elsa is really buttoned up, her hair is upeverything is perfect.
