Menzel, Bell, and otherFrozencast members toldPEOPLEin 2019 that they loved being part of theFrozenphenomenon that Bell said “shook all the norms” for Hollywood films.
“The happily ever after is not waiting for a kiss from your prince, which has sort of been the standard in literally every Hollywood movie,” Bell said. “[Frozen] was about something that was just as deep, if not deeper, which was like the love of family.”

“There were questions along the way the whole time: is this going to be important?” Bell continued. “We felt it was, and then when it came out, seeing kids elated about it and parents elated and having the movie affect people because they were interested in this new story, this new idea, that like ‘oh yeah, let’s explore the love of family, let’s break some boundaries,’ that, to me, was progress.”
“It was really cool to get to approach the story again and write a duet for Anna and Elsa, which we had never gotten to do, and we had always wanted to [with Anna and Elsa] singing in harmony,” Robert toldPEOPLEat the time.
