Frozen Anna star reveals slipping dirty joke ‘under the radar’ into final cut of the movie

PublishedLast updated

Disney has a history of occasionally sneaking such humour into their films, and Frozen is no exception.

Kristen Bell, who voiced Anna in Disney’s 2013 blockbuster Frozen, recently revealed that a cheeky joke slipped into one of the film’s musical numbers – and it nearly didn’t make it to the final cut.

The scene in question comes early in the movie during the song “For the First Time in Forever,” as Anna sings about her excitement for the castle’s grand reopening and the chance to meet new people, especially potential suitors.

But one particular line, which now seems more suggestive than Disney’s typical humour, managed to sneak by.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Bell revisited her role and expressed her surprise that the joke made it into the film.

As Anna excitedly prepares for the event, she sings the line, “Why have a ballroom with no balls?” Bell, reflecting on the moment, seemed just as amused and astonished as fans have been since noticing the double entendre.

“We slid it in under the radar,” she said, laughing about how the line almost didn’t make it through Disney’s notoriously strict content guidelines.

She explained that while some were hesitant about including the joke, they were able to defend it: “We were like, ‘What are you talking about? That’s not what it means. Don’t be a perv.’”
