== Plot ==
[[Anna (Disney)|Anna]] and [[Elsa (Disney)|Elsa]] are two princess sisters who live in Arendelle. Elsa, now queen of Arendelle, has the power of working with [[snow]] and [[ice]], but her power gets out of control and upsets the people of Arendelle. Not wanting to hurt anyone, Elsa runs off and makes her own palace for herself. Meanwhile, Anna sets off in the snow and ice in order to bring Elsa back and make things right with her. On the way, she meets Kristoff, a friendly iceman, and Olaf, a funny [[snowman]] made alive by Elsa who dreams of seeing [[summer]].

Hans wants to marry Anna, but he tells her he only wants to marry her to destroy Elsa and get royal powers. As Hans raises his sword over Elsa, Anna stops Hans and as a result turns to a frozen statue. Elsa weeps out of love for the frozen Anna, and this thaws Anna back to life. Seeing this, Olaf realizes that an act of true love is what thaws a frozen heart. With the power of love, Elsa stops the icy spell over Arendelle, and all of Arendelle live happily ever after, including Olaf, who is able to see summer with a snow [[Flurries|flurry]] over his head so that the summer heat will not make him melt.

== Production ==
Plans to make the movie were started in the 1940's, but the writers were not sure how its story could go, and so the movie was never made. Later, in 2011, the writers finally found a story to use for the movie and the production team began making the movie. Original plans said the movie would be [[Traditional animation|hand-drawn]], but the team decided to use [[computer animation]]. It took only two years to make ''Frozen'', which was a very fast production time for a professional computer-animated movie. 

''Frozen'' is also probably one of the most difficult animated movies to make. The animation team had to travel to a snowy area in Wyoming so that they could study the behavior of snow and simulate it with a computer.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://ohmy.disney.com/insider/2013/10/29/making-it-snow-in-disneys-frozen/|title=Making It Snow in Disney's Frozen {{!}} Disney Insider|date=2013-10-29|newspaper=Oh My Disney|access-date=2017-07-17|language=en-US}}</ref> They also used a program that could generate a lot of strands for Elsa's hair. An average human has about 100,000 strands of hair, while Elsa's hair was made of 400,000 strands.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/DisneyFrozen/posts/820091588007811:0|title=Frozen|website=www.facebook.com|language=en|accessdate=2017-07-17}}</ref>
