Which actress voiced Anna in the 2013 animated film "Frozen"?

The story behind the answer

Kristen Bell voiced Anna in Disney's 2013 animated film "Frozen."

Anna is the optimistic princess of Arendelle who sets out to find her sister Elsa after Elsa's powers plunge the kingdom into an eternal winter. Bell supplied Anna's adult speaking and singing performance, including the songs "For the First Time in Forever" and "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?"

The film was inspired loosely by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen," but Anna is not a direct adaptation of Gerda. The character was developed as Elsa's younger sister and as the emotional center of the story.

One detail can cause confusion: younger versions of Anna were performed by other actors. Livvy Stubenrauch provided the young speaking voice, while Katie Lopez sang for young Anna in the original film. For the principal adult character, however, Kristen Bell is the canonical answer.
