Every Disney is just the quintessential nemesis. You know, there's challenges, there's things, but there isn't your necessary villain. You know, acceptance, the people that don't accept us. The mistakes we make as people, how that informs us as kids and how we decide where we're going, what we're going to believe in, and what our principles are going to be. MENZEL: Yeah, and about contending with a past that we all have to reckon ourselves with. Talk a little about that aspect, that it's not about someone coming to get your character's powers or come between the sisters or take over the land.
#IDINA MENZEL FROZEN SONG MOVIE#
I think my favorite part of this movie is that there's no villain.

But I just always admired that about them. I will say that I know that she loved it because she liked to escape from the corporate part of things and get back to her creative writer artist self. Jen was running a studio, and she found the time to come in and kick off her shoes and sit with us with Chris Buck and read and direct us for hours and hours. They want to know what we think and what we feel about stuff and they just keep us informed along the way. They want to show the storyboards and the illustrations or the visuals that they have going and they want to share with you where the demos are or the music. You come in and everyone wants to share with you where are the scripts at. I mean, theatre is pretty collaborative, but you just wouldn't expect it in a film out here in Hollywood. But I also think that you guys inhabit these characters. I agree with you that Bobby, Kristen, Jennifer, Chris, all the people involved are all geniuses. The sequel also features the voices of Evan Rachel Wood, Alfred Molina, Martha Plimpton, Jason Ritter, Ciarán Hinds, Jeremy Sisto, Alan Tudyk, and Rachel Matthews.Ĭheck out what Idina Menzel had to say below.Ĭollider: First of all, congratulations on the sequel.
