Get the Behind-The-Scenes Story of Elsa’s Hair 

If we had to pick our favorite part of Frozen (which is really difficult for us to do), it would have to be Elsa’s magical transformation during her song “Let It Go.” Not only has the song become a phenomenon in its own right, that scene is one of the most powerful, and inspiring sequences of a Disney film. As Elsa finally lets go of her fears and the past, she truly puts some meaning behind the phrase “letting your hair down.”

Have you ever wondered how the Disney animators transformed her tightly wound bun into that signature, beautiful long braid? Watch as Wayne Unten (animator supervisor for Elsa), Brittney Lee (visual development artist) and Idina Menzel (voice of Elsa) explain how they went about creating Elsa’s hair and how this style change adds to the significance of “Let It Go.”

This preview is just one of the many behind-the-scenes stories that will be revealed tonight, September 2 in “The Story of Frozen: Making a Disney Animated Classic” airing at 8:00 p.m., ET on the ABC Television Network. Viewers will get a rare look inside Walt Disney Animation Studios and unprecedented access to the creative team that brought Frozen to life. Learn more about this special here.
