In the mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, her secret magical powers take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of ice harvester Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and a charming snowman named Olaf.
Based on the beloved animated movie, Disney’s Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.
