In Disney’s Frozen, who provides the speaking voice of Anna?

In Disney’s Frozen, Kristen Bell provides the speaking voice of Anna.

Bell was cast as Anna, the younger sister of Elsa, and performs Anna’s spoken dialogue throughout the 2013 animated film. Anna is characterized as optimistic, energetic, impulsive, and determined to repair her relationship with Elsa after years of separation.

A common mix-up concerns the film’s two principal female vocalists. Idina Menzel voices Elsa and sings Elsa’s major songs, including “Let It Go,” while Kristen Bell voices Anna and sings Anna’s musical parts. The characters’ contrasting vocal performances help distinguish their different personalities and emotional journeys.

Bell had extensive musical-theater experience before Frozen, including work in the Broadway musical The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. She later returned as Anna in Frozen II, released in 2019. Anna’s story also continued in short films, television specials, and stage adaptations based on Disney’s film.
