Who is the younger sister of Elsa in the 2013 animated film "Frozen"? Anna is Elsa’s younger sister in Disney’s Frozen.
Anna is the younger princess of Arendelle, while Elsa is the elder sister and heir to the throne. Elsa was born with the magical ability to create and control ice and snow, a power that causes the sisters to become separated during childhood after Anna is accidentally injured by Elsa’s magic.
In the film, Anna is voiced as an adult by Kristen Bell. Young Anna has separate speaking and singing performers, including Livvy Stubenrauch and Katie Lopez. Anna’s character was loosely inspired by Gerda from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Snow Queen, the story that also helped inspire Frozen’s broader premise.
Anna drives the film’s emotional story: after Elsa accidentally plunges Arendelle into winter and flees, Anna journeys to find her. The sisters’ relationship—not a romantic rescue—is ultimately central to the film’s idea of true love.
