[95] Despite being busy with other projects, including The Book of Mormon, Lopez and Anderson-Lopez were eager to collaborate with Disney on a fairy tale musical, and they were convinced to join the team after a personal pitch in New York City. [96] Disney valued Anderson-Lopez's strong storytelling abilities, making the decision to work on the film an easy one for the couple.

Rendering refractive objects like ice took extensive time in CGI, [79] and the scene where Elsa built her palace took 30 hours to render. [88] Lighting the clear ice required careful consideration of how it would reflect light realistically. The team faced challenges creating realistic visuals for snow, ice, and their correct combination in Frozen, aiming for a visually stunning and intricate ice environment without strictly adhering to physical accuracy. [79] To achieve this, they use various elements including geometric and painted snow, different snow shapes, and snow sparkles to create a stable, renderable, and art-directable appearance. [91] After receiving insights from physicist Dr. Kenneth G. Libbrecht who explained the formation of snow crystals at a molecular level, they approached this by focusing on the natural growth and shapes of these elements and avoiding morphing or artificial movements. The transparent ice frameworks and refractive ice pillars of Elsa's Ice Palace required intricate optical properties. Unlike snow, ice is optically active and its colors can shift based on the surroundings. It also refracts light into rainbow highlights, varies from transparent to opaque, features a smooth or patterned surface, and reflects and distorts the surrounding environments. [92] When Queen Elsa’s hidden powers plunge the land of Arendelle into an eternal winter, her sister Anna sets out to find her and save the kingdom before it’s too late. But as the storm rages on, both sisters must learn that only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart.Landy, Tom (September 4, 2019).
