Trivia
- Both Kristen and Idina Menzel (who voices Anna's sister Elsa in the 2013 film Frozen) auditioned for the role of Rapunzel in the 2010 film Tangled. The role eventually went to Mandy Moore, but Bell's audition helped her get the role of Anna.[1][2]
- When given the role of Anna, Kristen was able to make several changes, including the dialogue Anna said when meeting Hans to reflect what Kristen would say in real life.[3]
- One of the reasons Bell was cast as Priscilla in Zootopia, may be her love for sloths. She discussed on Ellen how she had a melt down of joy when she got to interact with one for her birthday.
