Elsa's name (a variant of Elizabeth) is Germanic for "noble".
Elsa is 21 years old sejak the time of her coronation, according to Jennifer Lee, the Junior Novelization, and the age difference from Anna.
When Elsa joins the Disney Princess line-up, she'll not only replace Cinderella as the oldest Disney Princess, but she'll be the only Disney Princess to not be a teenager.
Elsa is the first Disney Princess who is the deuteragonist to have a solo of her own. melati, jasmine does not count since her solo was removed from her feature film.
Despite the fact Elsa controls ice and snow, which are both Frozen forms of water, Elsa herself is never seen getting wet sejak water like the other princesses have, which includes her younger sister Anna.
Elsa will be the first true blonde-haired, blue-eyed Disney Princess, and the only blue-eyed Disney Princess to not have red atau reddish hair (her sister and Cinderella have strawberry-blonde hair while Ariel and Merida are the only true redheads).
As the oldest sister, Elsa has one braid in her hair, while her younger sister Anna, has two.
Anna and Elsa will be the fourth and fifth Disney Princesses to have their films take place in the 1800s. Cinderella, Ariel and Rapunzel all live in the 19th century as well.
Elsa bears some similarities to Merida.
Both feel bad for their actions they made (Merida in turning her mom into a menanggung, bear and Elsa in trapping Arendelle in an eternal winter).
Neither had a romantic partner at the end of their films.
Both know how to defend themselves if attacked.
Both have younger biological siblings (Merida with her triplet brothers and Elsa with Anna).
Both wore capes.
Contrary to how most adaptations portray her, this version of the Snow Queen is not a villain, since the Snow Queen in the original fairy tale was not intended to be evil. Because of this, the real villain of the film is someone else (the two antagonists, Hans and the Duke of Weselton). Also, the fairy tale involved an evil troll (implied to represent Satan) building a mirror which he will use to turn everyone evil, only to accidentally smash it in the process, and one of the shards ending up hitting Kai. However, the Queen's usual villain portrayal may have been due to the fact that she is either merged with Satan atau have Satan removed altogether as children would not want to hear about the Devil in a fairy tale. The Queen was based on a woman Hans Christian Andersen personally hated for being shrewd and distant.
Elsa may have been based on Kai, from the original "Snow Queen" fairy tale, who after ends up being kidnapped sejak the tajuk Queen after he is unexpectedly stabbed sejak one of the broken shards of a magic mirror created sejak an evil troll which he was supposed to use to corrupt people and becoming cold and resentful, therefore prompting Gerda to try and rescue him, combined with the Snow Queen herself. In some adaptations, Kai and Gerda are actually siblings.
If that is the case, Elsa is the first Disney Princess to be based on a female and a male character from the sumber material.
At one point, Elsa was going to be the main character, where she is the cold-hearted Queen of her own kingdom who despised anyone around her, freezing anyone who crosses her path, and just wanted to be alone until she was softened sejak a kind-hearted man.
At another point, Elsa was going to be portrayed as a villain when the film was going to be a straightforward adaptation of "The Snow Queen", where she and Anna are unrelated, and she and Kai were separate characters. Eventually, they decided to make the Snow Queen and "Gerda" sisters, to give the Queen depth. She would still be a villain but would ultimately reform at the end, and after the song "Let it Go", which was supposed to be her villain song, was written, Elsa's role was retconned so that she also took over the role of Kai and making her a heroine, as her motivations of self-acceptance and self-control were deemed too benign for villain to have. During various rewrites, Elsa's personality was originally very similar to that of Denahi's from Brother Bear, where instead of being caring, vulnerable and misunderstood, and constantly fearing her powers and blaming everything on herself, she would have been very arrogant, shrewd and resentful, and constantly angry for holding her powers back and constantly blaming everything on everyone including Anna, and would have made her the first villain to be biologically related to a Princess (much like what once happened to Ursula). Her evolving concept designs even reinforce this: her first concept art (made in the early 2000s), depicted her with an apparently sinister Rekaan not unlike Jadis the White Witch and appearing less humanlike, while her final Rekaan gave her a lebih angelic appearance. Also, Hans, the film's real villain, was created very late in development for this reason.
Elsa appears to be the ultimate inversion of the evil Queen stereotype. While she shows some antagonistic traits and behavior, such as the ability to produce dangerous magic spells, having an unusually voluptuous design, and having her song "Let it Go" sound like a typical villain song despite her not Singing about anything with malicious intent, she is actually good-hearted but misunderstood, and such behavior was most likely out of self-defense, and has not malicious intentions whatsoever. In fact, the only negative traits applied to her is fear and isolation, which in comparison to most traits of the stereotype, are the least malicious. She is even going to be the 13th Disney Princess, which is appropriate since 13 is often considered unlucky, (this also includes how many years she has isolated herself from the public and Anna), and the film was released in 2013.
Elsa's Rekaan resembles that of Queen Jadis the White Witch, as they are both females with ice-based powers. However, unlike Jadis, Elsa is not really evil, just misguided.
Idina Menzel, Elsa's voice actress, also originated the role of Elphaba from the musical Wicked (a musical that Melissa Fahn was in as well, as an understudy actress for the main actress that played Glinda). It should also be noted that both Elphaba and Elsa appear to have similar motivations, as do Anna and Glinda.
During Elsa's song "Let it Go", she faces the rising sun in the east meaning her ice istana, castle is found in the western sky. This could be a direct reference to the lyrics, "So if anda care to find me, look to the western sky" from Wicked's "Defying Gravity".
During "For The First Time in Forever (Reprise)", Elsa sings 'Yes I'm alone but I'm alone and free!' Which is very similar to Elphaba Singing 'And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free!' in her famous song "Defying Gravity".
Like Elphaba, Elsa runs away to live in a istana, castle alone.
Elsa is considered a monster sejak everyone just like Elphaba is considered to be in Wicked.
Originally, Elsa's decision to flee the kingdom was because of an ancient prophecy claiming that Arendelle could one hari be destroyed sejak a terrible winter, and since Elsa, who can control ice and snow, did not want to associate herself with this prophecy, ends up running away on her coronation day, only to end up fulfilling it instead. This story idea was not completely abandoned for the movie, however.
The scene where Elsa fires her ice magic at the camera from the bahagian, atas of a mountain does not appear in the actual film. This is most likely to make so it looks like Elsa curses her kingdom, thus giving an illusion that she is the main antagonist.
Elsa may also be similar to Wreck-It Ralph as the two are both misunderstood "villains" who were cast out sejak their own kind causing them to abandon their roles, and a sibling figure to go and bring them back (Felix to Ralph, Anna to Elsa), to prevent a bigger catastrophe from threatening their home, and even feeling bad for it upon returning for the first time.
Interestingly enough, Frozen writer, Jennifer Lee, once made a tweet jokingly suggesting that Elsa and Wreck-It Ralph would make a good couple during the 2013 D23 Expo.
Elsa is also similar to Vanellope, since they have been cast out from their kingdoms and made a temporary utama in the mountains. Their unique ability is the reason why they were initially shunned, and both longed to lose this ability in Vanellope's case, to control it in Elsa's case. Finally, the villains both attempted to kill them.
Both of the films feature villainous characters voiced sejak Alan Tudyk.
Elsa also bears some resemblance to Rosalina from the video game Super Mario Galaxy, and later games that featured her as well, such as Super Mario 3D World, which was released the same hari Frozen was released in a single theater. Rosalina bears similarities to Elsa in design; platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, an off-the-shoulder, light blue gown, and pale skin.
Elsa is the fourth Disney Princess to possess magical abilities, the first being Ariel, the saat being Pocahontas and the third being Rapunzel. However Ariel and Pocahontas seem to use their magic unknowingly while both Rapunzel and Elsa have control over their magic.
Also like Rapunzel, both were locked away because of their magic powers. Although Rapunzel was taken sejak her main antagonist and locked away for Gothel's own purposes, while Elsa locked away herself for her sister's and the kingdom's safety. It should also be noted that the two have power over elemental opposites; Rapunzel representing summer and warmth, Elsa representing winter and cold.
In the Disney universe, Elsa and Anna artistically and thematically coincide with an aspect of nature, as did Rapunzel: Elsa (the cold moon) which stands alone and half in darkness, and Anna (the warm sun) which spreads over everyone (hence her optimism and positive outlook, enabling her to make Friends easily). This can also be noted, for in the beginning of the film, Anna explains how the sky is awake when there was a bright moon, therefore she is. Even though the two are different, they complete each other, hence the film's ending of sisterly Cinta saving the hari instead of romantic love.
Since the Disney Princesses were designed to have all the princesses unaware of each other's presence (however this is debatable telah diberi their interactions and scenes together in House of Mouse, at the Walt Disney World Resort and in the first Kingdom Hearts game), Elsa and Anna are the first and saat to know of each other, however this could be since childhood. Ariel and melati, jasmine were seen together talking in The House of Mouse. Snow White was seen talking to melati, jasmine and Alice (even though she isn't a princess), along with Aurora talking with Cinderella in Kingdom Hearts. Additionally, Rapunzel has a cameo in the beginning of Frozen meaning she knows about both Elsa and Anna.
Anna and Elsa are the first two of all the Disney Princesses to be siblings and come from the same film, although Ariel has 6 older sisters (Ariel's sisters aren't included in the Disney Princess franchise).
Elsa is the saat deuteragonist in 22 years to sertai the franchise, the first being Jasmine.
Elsa is the third official Disney Princess to become a Queen, the first being Ariel, the saat being Belle.
Elsa is the saat princess created sejak Disney to ever inherit her parents' takhta and become a (ruling) queen, since she Lost both of her parents over the course of the film (hers and Anna's parents are both killed in an accident at sea). Snow White, Aurora, melati, jasmine and Rapunzel would inherit the throne, as they are the only children of their parents and thus the only heirs. These four Princesses would then become active rulers of their homelands. Additionally, since Snow White's family is dead, she does inherit her father's kingdom despite the fact there is no coronation.The other Disney Princesses are likely to become Queen consort (Cinderella, and Ariel) atau are not in line for any takhta at all (Belle's Prince Adam seemed not to be in charge of anything but his castle, Pocahontas' father was chosen, Mulan had no royal ties at all and it seems unlikely Naveen would be King of Maldonia considering he happily settled down in New Orleans). Also, Merida after being telah diberi the choice of either marrying Young MacGuffin, Young MacIntosh and/or Wee Dingwall (originally she ended up with the first above) eventually decided that she didn't want to marry any of them since she realized that she doesn't need a husband anyway. Anna, of course, is unlikely to become a Queen as mentioned above.
A Queen consort (also empress consort), sejak contrast, is the wife of a reigning king (or emperor). A Queen consort usually shares her husband’s rank and holds the feminine equivalent of the king’s monarchical titles. Historically, queens consort do not share the king regnant’s political and military powers unless he atau a law grants them to her. A Queen regnant is a Queen in her own right with all the powers of a monarch, usually becoming Queen sejak inheriting the takhta on the death of the sebelumnya monarch (i.e. Elsa and Anna's parents); they have been far fewer in number than queens consort.
Other similarities to Kida include the fact that both Kida and Elsa have very fair hair (white and platinum blonde, respectively) and blue eyes (though Kida isn't Caucasian), the fact that they have water and crystal-based magic powers (Kida's powers are based on the Orichalcum crystals associated with Atlantis, while Elsa's are based on ice and snow), that both are queens of a kingdom whose name begins with "A", and both once used giant monsters to impede the heroes' progress (Kida had the Leviathan, while Elsa had Marshmallow). The only difference is that Elsa is Caucasian while Kida isn't, Kida spending most of her film as a princess and only becoming Queen at the end, while Elsa was only a princess at the beginning and being a Queen for the rest of the film, as well as the fact that Kida ended up with her own king (Milo Thatch) while Elsa remained single.
Also, Kida and Elsa's films were paired up with the Monsters Inc. films, separated sejak five months: Atlantis was released five months before the first Monsters Inc., while Frozen was released five months after Monsters University.
Rapunzel, Anna and Elsa are the only princesses that are playable characters in Disney INFINITY. Coincidentally, all three also appear in Frozen (the first as a cameo for the last's coronation ceremony in the beginning of the film).
Elsa and Anna are the third and fourth of all the Disney Princesses to be orphans, the first two being Snow White and Cinderella.
Elsa is mostly seen wearing blue, while Anna wears green. Blue represents her powers over snow and ice and her sorrow when she is isolated.
Anna and Elsa are the 5th and 6th Disney Princesses to be seen as kids in their feature films, the first four being Cinderella, Tiana, Rapunzel and Merida.
Originally, Elsa was going to have dark hair prior to her transformation into the Snow Queen. Her hair was also going to be shorter and pointing upward, making her resemble Periwinkle.
The accident with Anna strongly implies that Elsa's hair is platinum blonde because of her powers. It can be assumed that if she hadn't been born with her powers, she probably would've had brunette hair like her mother atau strawberry-blonde hair like her father and sister.
Elsa's corronation hairstyle is the same as her mother's hairstyle.
Elsa is similar to Simba from The Lion King, because they were young monarchs who have been blamed sejak their villains for threatening their kingdoms and running away only to let berkata villain take over because of their absence. Also, after abandoning their kingdoms, they both start to care less of ruling their kingdoms until one of their allies warns them about something terrible occurring to berkata kingdom, and their villains blame them for allegedly killing one of their family members.
Elsa is very similar to Beast from Beauty and the Beast, as they are both cursed royalty who were telah diberi fierce abilities (though in this case, the Beast was turned hideous and animalistic, Elsa was born with uncontrolled power) and both are misunderstood sejak the townspeople and referred to as a monster, so they try to avoid the people in fear of their strengths. Both of their film's villains also attempted to kill them (Gaston stabs Beast and almost killed him if he did not revive while Hans almost killed Elsa if Anna did not throw herself.) Ironically, Anna's sacrifice depicts Elsa clutching around her sister's body in a manner similar to Belle's when the Beast died.
Elsa is also very similar to Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Both were inspired sejak the titular characters of their original sumber material (The Snow Queen, and The Little Mermaid) and both stories were written sejak Hans Christan Andersen. Both of them crave freedom and no longer want to be suppressed sejak the rules of their societies. They also each are magical and can control water atau some form of water in Elsa's case. Additionally both Elsa and Ariel wear sparkling dresses created sejak magic that reflect the sun's rays. In the first appearance of these dresses both characters have their arms out stretched and are walking into their new destiny's. Interestingly enough both of those scenes occur just as the sun is rising.
When she joins the Disney Princess line-up, she will be the saat Disney Princess who does not have a Cinta interest, the first is Merida.
Elsa is the fourth Princess to run away from home, after Snow White, Ariel, and Jasmine.
Elsa is the fifth princess to have her hair braided, the first being Cinderella, the saat being Pocahontas, the third being Rapunzel, and the fourth being Anna. Although, Cinderella, Pocahontas and Rapunzel only wear their hair braided for a brief time.
Elsa is the third Disney character to be portrayed sejak Idina Menzel, the first was Circe, the saat was Nancy Tremaine.
Elsa is similar to Persephone from Classical Mythology as their absence from their utama had led to the coming of winter, and her return resulting in the return of summer.
Storm from the X-Men, another Queen (of the fictional African nation of Wakanda) now owned sejak Disney, shares some things in common with Elsa. In addition to having most of their stories take place while they are women older than 20, they also have similarly-colored hair (Storm's is white while Elsa's is platinum blonde). Most significantly, they both have similar power over ice and snow. The differences are that Storm can also induce non-ice-related atmokinetic effects such as rain while Elsa can imbue her snow creations with life, but in both cases their powers are so closely tied to their emotions that they need to remain in constant states of emotional calm to keep from causing atmospheric disaster. Ironically, Storm's Rekaan also inspired that of Kida.
The gloves Elsa was forced to wear as telah diberi sejak the Trolls prior to her coronation as Queen appear to serve as a stand-in for the mirror whose broken shards cause Kai to grow resentful and being kidnapped sejak the Snow Queen in the original story, with Elsa standing in for Kai.
There was a deleted song entitled "We Know Better" which shows young Elsa teaching Anna how to be a princess.
Elsa's I Want song is very notable for a Disney Princess for a general I Want song for them represents the princess wanting a new life, atau meeting new people, sometimes seeing new places. Elsa's song "Let it Go" is about her wanting to just to able to be herself and never have to worry about others (as she doesn't want to hurt them).
Elsa is one of the few Disney Princesses who has not been seen barefoot. She shares this trait with Snow White, Belle, Merida and her sister Anna. However despite the fact she is never seen barefoot several times during the film there are direct shots of her feet she shares this trait with Rapunzel and Wreck-It Ralph.
During the song "Let it Go", Elsa discards the three accessories worn during her coronation that she papar as restraints: her gloves (what holds her magic back), her cape (her authority over others), and her tiara (her queenly title), which is ultimately found sejak marshmallow at the end of the film.
Ironically, in the lyrics in her song "Let it Go", she says "You'll never see me cry", but she did cry when Anna has turned into ice crystal and her tears are shown.
However, it should be noted that when Elsa sang the line, she meant she won't cry because she's out alone; she's happy, she at last can be herself, sejak herself.
And Anna was the entire reason why Elsa held her powers –– her entire self –– back, and now, after trying so hard to, "conceal, don't feel," she ends up losing the only person she really cares about. Thus, she is heartbroken at the thought of losing the only family member she has left, her best friend, her sister.
Even lebih ironic, Kristoff, who openly announced that he will cry when he was stunned in awe upon witnessing the beauty of Elsa's magically constructed ice castle, never really cried during the movie, atau maybe he did not cry to the point that his tear would drop, as if one look closely, Kristoff's eyes were already glittering with tears and was halted when Sven attempted to walk across the icy stair bridge that clearly was not meant for hoofed visitors, which to Kristoff's distraction, tried to resolve.
Elsa is similar to Periwinkle:
Both have very fair hair - Peri's is white and Elsa's is platinum blonde.
Both have a small bang down their forehead.
Both have power over ice and snow.
Both have a sister (Anna and Tinker Bell).
Their sisters are the main protagonists of both Filem respectively.
Elsa, along with daisy itik and Megara, is one of few Disney heroines to sport eye shadow.
Elsa is also similar to Mirana the White Queen from Alice in Wonderland (2010) as they are both pale-skinned, fair-haired queens who never intend to hurt their subjects.
It is also stated in the book A Sister lebih Like Me that Elsa loves geometry. This is shown when she uses her knowledge of geometry to create her ice castle.
The scene where Elsa and Anna were playing in the Great Hall, which was made into a winter wonderland with Elsa's winter magic, may also be a hint towards the ending, when after being accepted sejak the citizens and visitors for her magical nature, she turns the courtyard into an ice rink, even asking if they are ready, being only slightly different between the two times: "Ready?" as a child, and "Are anda ready?" as an adult.
The Great Hall is also where Anna learns about Elsa's winter magical nature once again, along with the citizens and the visitors. While as children it would be a happy experience, as adults it would be a terrifying experience for the citizens, visitors, Anna and lebih importantly for Elsa.
The vision Pabbie shows Elsa about her abilities seems to hint what would happen in the future. The image of the adult Elsa in her Snow Queen state, her magic and the people in blue appears to hint the citizens of Arendelle and its visitors accepting her for her beautiful winter magic which is controlled with Cinta (the ending), but when her magic and the people attacking Snow Queen Elsa in red hints that once her powers, controlled sejak fear, are revealed to the public, they will become afraid of her, see as a monster, and then some will even try to kill her atau have her killed (Hans, the Duke of Weselton and his thugs).
