Chapter 1: Coronation

Arendelle village is based on the "Dragonstil"style of architecture,which was a late nineteenth century nostalgic take,blending the Victorian aesthetic with Norwegian rustic design.The artist were particularly struck by the Norwegian stave churches,flamboyant wooden that date back to the twelfth century.Giaimo praises Womersley's design for the castle of Arendelle,Which"looks like a castle,but it's roof line and detailing riff on a stave church.The snow globe Anna is holding was originally a gift from Hans,presented to her post coronation.

Elsa
Elsa has matured into a beauty whose distant mien heightens her loveliness.Since she has a little girl,Elsa has been groomed for the day she would assume the throne.In contrast to the open,straightforward Anna,Elsa begins as a repressed character,forced to conceal who she really is.Elsa is interesting because she could be perceived as the villain,but she not,"Briggs continues.Elsa's afraid,and she needs someone help her,stand beside her.This story with two protagonist.The fun Elsa,acting wise,is you have a character that's been hiding things from her sister and the people in the Kingdom,"say head of animation Lino Disalvo."There's so much fun in the kingdom,as an animator,I'm not sure what else you could ask for."
Design
The elaborate costumes on Elsa and Anna were enormous challenges on this film in order to sustain it's appeal.We had dressed that trekked through deep snow,clothing that survived a chase and capes that endured a winter storm.All in the spirit main character and keeping the believability of how their costumes would react in the various circumstance.
