Anna and Elsa in Zootopia
Frozen, Disney’s most successful film of the 2000s has already established itself as an iconic classic alongside The Lion King. As a result, we can probably expect many references to it in future Disney films. In fact, there have already been a number of them.
There is a scene in the 2016 Zootopia where we see a fish market. Outside, two small elephants are walking among the other animals, and upon closer inspection, they are dressed as Elsa and Anna.
Adjusting to international audiences
It’s easy to overlook how intricately Disney films are produced. The films are sold worldwide, even though they are made in America and are in English. Furthermore, children in Japan, Norway, and Italy do not understand or speak English.
It’s easier to make changes for international versions of Disney films because of all the adaptations that need to be made. This, for example, takes place in Toy Story 2, where the American flag was changed to a globe.
