[242] Overall, its largest opening weekends occurred in China (five-day opening of $14.3 million),[243] Russia and the CIS ($11.9 million, including previews from previous weekend), where the film set an opening weekend record among Disney animated films (ahead of Tangled),[244] and Japan (three-day opening of $9.73 million). [62] Finally, Giaimo and several artists traveled to Norway to draw inspiration from its mountains, fjords, architecture, and culture. [59] "Bobby and Kristen...started talking about what would it feel like [to be Elsa]", Lee said. (2012). [336][337][338] Lee also said that she used the film and its strong female characters to inspire her own daughter, who had experienced bullying at school, and admitted that she herself as a child was bullied as well;[336] thus, they had managed to be true to themselves like Anna and Elsa. [220] On April 25, 2014, Frozen became the nineteenth film to gross $400 million in North America and the fifteenth to do so without a major re-release. Elsa's coronation takes place without incident, but she remains distant from Anna. Why does it say "This film was made in no part thanks to Theodore C. Mitchell" in the credits.

[256], Clayton Dillard of Slant Magazine commented that while the trailers made the film seem "pallid," positive critical reviews could attract interest from both "core demographics" and adult audiences, and therefore he believed Frozen stood a good chance of surpassing Tangled's Thanksgiving three-day opening record. [349][350][351] In the space of a single business quarter, Iger went from speaking of Frozen's "franchise potential" (in February 2014)[352]:8,13 to saying that it was "probably" one of Disney's "top five franchises" (in May 2014). [123], Regarding the sound of Frozen, director Jennifer Lee stated that sound played a huge part in making the film "visceral" and "transported"; she explained, "[i]n letting it tell the story emotionally, the sound of the ice when it's at its most dangerous just makes you shudder. [54] To construct Anna and Elsa's relationship, Lee found inspiration from her own relationship with her older sister. The Frozen Dead premiered in France on M6 on 10 January 2017. [392] In a May 2015 interview, Buck said, "We have lots of things to figure out but at least we know where we are going. [84], Another challenge that the studio had to face was to deliver shots of heavy and deep snow that both interacted believably with characters and had a realistic sticky quality. [339] Sarah Barrett, managing director of the site, explained that while the film's popular heroine is called Anna, "Elsa offers a more unique name and is also a strong female role model. [123] The final orchestrations of both the songs and score were all recorded at the Eastwood Scoring Stage[123][126] on the Warner Bros. Pictures studio lot in Burbank by an 80-piece orchestra, featuring 32 vocalists, including native Norwegian Christine Hals. Peter Del Vecho explained that "the title Frozen came up independently of the title Tangled. [75] From the beginning, Buck knew Giaimo was the best candidate to develop the style he had in mind – which would draw from the best Disney hand-drawn films of the 1950s, the Disney Little Golden Books, and mid-century modern design – and persuaded him to come back to Disney to serve as the art director for Frozen. A grisly find atop a mountain in the French Pyrenees leads investigator Martin Servaz into a twisted dance with a serial killer in this icy thriller.

Now “The Frozen” does have its share of that as the story evolves, but it also makes a clever play for supernatural content. "[289] Frozen was also praised in Norwegian Sámi media as showcasing Sámi culture to a broad audience in a good way. [255] Chris Agar from ScreenRant expressed a similar opinion; he cited a string of recent box office successes of the studio, and thought that Frozen would fill a void of kid-friendly films in the marketplace, but did not expect it to surpass Catching Fire in terms of box office gross. This helped her discover elements that made the scene feel real and believable.

[164][165] Frozen finished its first week at No. [79] In order to get the general feeling of each scene, some animators did their own acting.
