The show tells of two young princesses who spend their time building snowmen and having fun in their Arendelle castle. When Elsa’s power to freeze things accidentally causes harm to her sister, Anna, she becomes fearful of her power.
This fear forces Elsa to isolate herself, leaving Anna feeling alone and confused. After Elsa becomes Queen, the two sisters reconnect but Anna’s desire to marry and Elsa’s refusal of a marriage blessing ignites a storm, causing Elsa to flee the kingdom.
The show features the Oscar-winning song, “Let it Go.”
