Actress Kristen Bell has recently uncovered a not-safe-for-work (NSFW) joke concealed within the lyrics of a song from the popular Disney movie, Frozen. Bell, known for her role as Princess Anna in the 2013 animated film and its sequel, shared the revelation during an interview with Vanity Fair.
In the movie, Princess Anna sings a beautiful medley that includes the hit song “For the First Time in Forever.” Hidden within the lyrics of this powerful ballad is a cheeky joke when Princess Anna ponders, “Why have a ballroom with no balls?” Bell, now 44 years old, jokingly questioned how they managed to slip such a joke into the family-friendly film.
Initially, Bell hinted that the joke almost didn’t make it past approval from executives, but she, along with the team, managed to sneak it in under the radar. Despite the initial pushback, they successfully included the humorous line in the song.
Returning to voice Princess Anna in Frozen 2 in 2019, Bell reflected on her unique portrayal of the Disney princess character. She aimed to bring more depth and nuance to Anna compared to traditional Disney princesses, wanting her character to be relatable and imperfect, unlike the typical princess personas portrayed in other films.
Bell also shared insights into her personal life, mentioning how her own children, Lincoln and Delta, have not been as captivated by the Frozen franchise as one might expect. While they acknowledge the importance of the movie in their lives, Bell humorously noted that her kids’ rejection of the film is a typical way for children to keep their parents grounded.
Describing her experience working on Frozen as a collaborative journey where she had the freedom to shape her character, Bell emphasized her desire to portray Anna as a more realistic and flawed individual, drawing inspiration from genuine quirks and imperfections.
The actress’ candid revelations about the behind-the-scenes antics and her unique approach to voicing Princess Anna provide fans with a fresh perspective on the beloved Disney movie and its iconic characters.
