New Spectacular Interview With Kristen Bell From Frozen

Embark on a magical journey behind the scenes of the beloved Frozen franchise with this exhilarating new interview. Join us as we talk to Kristen Bell, the voice behind Princess Anna and the enchanting world of Arendelle. From the highs of musical enchantment to the depths of character development, this spectacular interview offers an exclusive glimpse into the captivating mind of one of Disney’s most cherished stars.

Our initial inquiry delved into the origins of Kristen Bell’s involvement in the Frozen project and how her journey into the enchanting world of Arendelle began.

I’ve always wanted to be in a Disney animated feature like since I was four years old or five years old. It was the first goal I had ever set for myself.  I auditioned for Tangled and after my audition the casting director pulled me aside and she said, oh that was great and if we go another way, I want you to meet Chris Buck because he’s directing a project that’s a few years down the line called The Snow Queen, and I think you’d be right for it.  What’s funny is that she said it’s a much more traditional Disney musical.  I think this is the most untraditional musical they’ve ever done!  (We all laughed at that point!)

Following up, we inquired about her feelings toward singing and if the prospect of singing evoked any apprehension.

No, that was what incited me to want to do it, because I studied music in college.  I trained operatically when I was a little girl, and I love musical theater so much.  I’ve done a couple Broadway musicals and I try to keep music as relevant as possible.   It really just puts me in a mental state of happiness like nothing else, I think. Really like nothing else. Um, maybe now other than the kid.

Continuing our conversation, we explored the contrasts between some of Kristen Bell’s roles. We asked how the experience of portraying characters in Gossip Girl compares to voicing animated characters.

I can pull myself out of it when I watch this animation because I like it so much. I’m a huge fan of animation, and I’m swept away by this story. When I watched Gossip Girl, it was a tiny bit like playing your own answering machine over and over and over again.  That’s kind of what it felt like to me because I don’t love the sound of my own voice.  It’s much nicer to be able to pay attention to a storyline as well and not go like, wow, I sound so screechy. Not pick myself apart, you know.

Following up on her reputation for being outspoken, we inquired if there’s a role she’s portrayed that resonates with her personality.

Wow, well all my roles have been aspects of my personality, sans a few. I mean the role I’m currently playing on House of Lies is not like me at all, neither really is Sarah, the one you think of.  Sarah Marshall wasn’t really.  Veronica Mars was close to the snarky darker side of me, that’s about as dark as I’ll get. This is a caricature of me for sure. This is definitely closer to who I am.  This is who I was as a kid, for sure.

I made a movie with my husband last year called The Hit and Run and that’s probably the closest to me and maybe the most- the truest because he wrote it knowing I was going to play it, so he wrote it as me.  I think somewhere between Anna, Annie in Hit and Run, and Veronica Mars is this version of myself.  It depends on the day that you wake me up in.  (We all laughed.)

Kristen Bell also shared insights about her involvement with a remarkable initiative: This Bar Saves Lives. With each bar purchased, some proceeds support non-profit organizations providing food packets for underprivileged children. She graciously provided us with a taste test while highlighting the cause’s importance, which I’m eager to share with you!
