Evolution of Frozen’s Anna In Disney Parks - DIStory Ep. 42

[@clementine6973]

I stan Anna. No powers and having to trek after her sister everywhere and fix the occasional magic mess with her wits and a 110 pound frame. Queen

[@christiandacanay3086]

Not to mention she did all the work! So yeah, mad respect for Anna.

[@broadway331]

“Once Upon a Time: where Disney fairy tales go to die.” Made me laugh.

[@malatdisney5067]

I tried to watch it being a Disney fan no just no

[@AgwithAjm]

I’m watching it right now with my mom and in includes a lot of WWWHHHAAATTT?!? And NO!!! And OMG 😱

[@myriadmediamusings]

It’s funny cause it’s true. People shit all over Frozen 2 as a sequel, but the OUAT continuation was A MILLION times worse.

[@suzyra1212]

No olaf but i want to see him in it like elsa did on snow monster do samething with olaf 😳😵

[@shinetilly]

I wish they would rep Anna’s cream colored dress from “Some things never change.” It’s my favorite of her dresses

[@suzyra1212]

Did you watch once upon a time tail of two sisters and elsa create a snow monster but no olaf i would been excited to see olaf on my tv but no olaf that likes a warm hugs 😩😫

[@gabbyl3856]

A friend of mine (we met in middle school and are both now college seniors!) is Anna (and a few other characters) at Disney World in Florida. I couldn't be more proud of her!

[@christiandacanay3086]

Good for her. She's living the dream!

[@theelephantintheroom4150]

But like why is his laugh borderline wheeze in the best way possible

[@christiandacanay3086]

But it's really infectious!

[@alysaur3069]

Can you do Auroa/Sleeping Beauty. She has the best princess dress in my opinion and would love to see the evolution of it!

[@Ireton06]

Ooh Princess Aurora would be fun along with Alice

[@TjSamson]

Gosh, the amount of research Dan needs to do about Sleeping Beauty in Disneyland Paris alone.

[@joceyyy_]

Can we appreciate that Dan themes his desk space to whatever he's talking about? True dedication!

[@AgwithAjm]

The skirt shortening is for the safety of the performer 😊

[@AgwithAjm]

Wow OMG 32 likes thanks guys

[@courtneyozog3675]

As a skater, I can attest for that statement. Do you want to see tricks or pretty costumes? Choose one.

[@kayleediggins7393]

@@courtneyozog3675 I feel like Elsa should’ve had like sparkly tights under the shorter skirt to give the illusion of a longer skirt or make it look more like the original look

[@suzyra1212]

No olaf that loves warm hugs 😳😵

[@LuluWoofers]

I love his jokes-- I can't stand them that I'll laugh likes theirs no tomorrow

Yeah I kind of like the joke he made about Once Upon A Time

[@candyjumper20]

@@christiandacanay3086 Yea And The Fact That Elsa Was Meant To Be The Most Popular Character But Anna Ended Up Kicking Her Frozen Behind And Being Like ' Nah Sis Its My Turn !' Makes Me Laugh

[@akaikami_cherryblossom]

Can I just say that the Disney community is so darn awesome? I know this is unrelated to the vid, but the people here are fantastic! Everyone’s super nice and wholesome, there’s no drama, no gate keeping, and no absolute madness from time to time like most fandoms. It’s just chill and feels like home. Thanks for bringing us awesome content Dan!! Keep up the awesome work!!

[@suzyra1212]

No olaf on once upon a time tale of two sisters elsa did snow monsters if she can create that why not she created olaf and see how olaf turned out that be so cool and be really excited to see him in it 😳😵

[@gogogamer2790]

I once sneezed on a Disney cruise while getting my picture with anna and Elsa. They were nice and said bless you

[@malxredleader]

We’ve neglected to mention that Disney Dan is a solid Tenor. Like those notes at the end of this video *chefs kiss*

[@726berkshire]

Dan: Is Elsa Santa? Me: Nah! She's a Snow Miser. XD

[@jigglypuff52]

She never wants to see a day above 40 degrees.

[@reaganreilly3574]

that intro was perfect

[@Alberto_Tellez]

So in terms of the costumes, I think the Disney Parks version of Anna is my kind of Anna, for rather in her blue and magenta mountain climbing outfit or her green and black queen outfit, the accuracy of the costumes hits high with the embroidery and added accessories to match perfectly with that COOL movie.

[@paigeofmybook]

I would love a whole video on just the Frozen on Broadway costumes bc they are STUNNING

[@bearmcculloch1179]

Evolution of Captain Hook and TikTok the crocodile please!! They have some *interesting* looks and oh god those eyes 😂

[@rachaelmow]

Up vote this one so that he talks about OUAT Hook LMAO

[@Ireton06]

I would love a Cap Hook DisTory, he had some interesting evolution, I grew up with the 80s Hook (i started Visiting DisneyLand in the 90s)

[@Alberto_Tellez]

I, most certainly, am hooked on the Frozen characters, including Anna. What can I say? She and I are the same: we dream of big adventures, we have similar relationships with our beloved older sisters, we both have met the best and worst of people, even the ones who don't turn out nice at all. Overall, Anna, in terms of character, is considered my inspiration and Norwegian counterpart. Thanks for making this vid possible.

[@MZ-gk1vv]

I'm sad he didn't show the Broadway costume change at the end from the frozen white outfit back to her original costume on stage like she just walks behind somebody then he hair goes from all white hair to red again its insane!

[@DistoryDan]

Hahah oh I did. And it turned into me waxing poetically about how much I loved it. And so we had to cut it. But I’ll put it on my patreon. Haha

[@courtneyozog3675]

I was thinking the same thing. He talked about the stage shows for that scene, but not THE stage show.

[@phantomrox87]

I saw the Broadway show 2019 and was in absolute awe by how they did the Anna freezing scene. I'm sad you didn't include that costume and any clips from that scene, because it was spectacular.

[@macadamiamochi]

Disney Dan: Posts Me: AH THE DISNEY KING PRAISE HIM HALLLELUJAH

[@christiandacanay3086]

The Disney King? More like the 2nd coming of the Dreamfinder. I mean I feel he looks like a real life Dreamfinder that is just missing his Figment.

[@Alice-hj2bv]

I wish they would put Anna in her green dress from the end of the Frozen 1 I feel like it fits her character best

[@Krispin260]

Flawless intro ❄️ Hey Dan, is there enough material to do a Kristoff evolution too? And did Hans make it to the parks?

[@lespena3722]

Hans did but only in Paris and Tokyo from what I heard. I heard a rumor he is going to have a comeback in Epcot but due to the pandemic we won’t know for sure.

[@kanniekosplayyes2799]

going through the first parade float with Anna Coronation dress and my brain is just thinking of the little shoot of one of the float Annas seeing one of the guests dressed up as her and is in look of shock x3

[@yagirl1014]

Frozen on Broadway is my favorite musical! I got to play Elsa in the jr. version and it was the biggest dream come true. I’ve also met Cassie Levy, Ryan Mccartan, and McKenzie Kurtz all who are performers from the show. I also got to perform the song Monster for Patti Murin and Audrey Bennet who are other performers from the show

[@UsedtobeaDuchess]

I literally thought “is Elsa Santa???” Like a second before you said it. 😂😂😂

[@naadeiashie6053]

I absolutely loved the Frozen musical on Broadway. When I saw it I was so excited to see Anna as a woc. It made me feel represented in places where representation is often scarce

[@lorenbennington4952]

Wow he has a lovely voice at the end too! ❤

[@Meg63826]

Anna is my favorite princess and queen and should get more recognition

[@carabenneyworth7478]

Absolutely love your videos! I know this isn't technically 'Costume' but I feel like it's worth mentioning that in the Broadway production Anna's wig gets whiter as her heart gets more frozen which I think is absolutely incredible how they did that! Wish I could've seen it live but I live in England so hopefully will be able to see it in London (When we're all free of lockdown). Big love to everyone and I hope all your family and friends are in good health :)

[@maryfletcher5834]

You can see Frozen JR. at your community theatre

[@SConArt87]

I love how in Frozen 2 Anna and Kristoff’s color palettes are matching. It shows visually how connected they both are.

[@QueenTJ1991]

This was royally icetastic! Queen Anna and Queen Elsa are enchanting especially in Once Upon A Time!

[@katiemealey9895]

I love Anna and her costumes!! With Once Upon a Time, I think they ripped the costumes right from their movies more so than they did with any other franchise they used which worked but made them seem pulled from an animated movie rather than part of that natural world. Also, I love Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, it was just put in the wrong place lol

[@theoriginalsache]

"Elsa falls in love with her sister..." Well. This took a turn.

[@elyon192]

"that one terrible olaf one in front of the coco movie” excuse me?? that hilarious short before the coco movie made Ernesto de la Cruz’s death even more HILARIOUS!!! death by the christmas bell?? priceless X'D

[@that_one_who_is8037]

When I was younger, I went to see Disney on ice in Dublin. The whole show wasn’t just about frozen, but I still remember the moving staircase they pushed around on the ice for the ice palace to this day

[@sjdavanzo]

Was on the Fantasy in November 2019. We saw the premier of Frozen 2 on Thursday night, that Sunday we were in Epcot and saw the new outfits, all I could say was "well played Disney, well played."

[@yippedoodah]

I met Anna and Elsa only once during my DCP two weeks before the movie was released. From that point on, it was the hour+ wait which I was not willing to do.

[@amandawittenstein1873]

I was on the Magic on the second cruise after the show had started. I’m a seamstress and asked if I could maybe see some costumes. Disney went above and beyond for me, and I got to see all the costumes except for Elsa’s quick change dress. Apparently for the first couple of runs of the show, the designer gets to choose their preferred fabrics, then Disney will go for a cheaper option. But everything was silk when I saw it. And not flimsy sad silk, but top of the line expensive silk. It was an incredible experience. If you go on a cruise with Disney and there’s something you want to know about, ask. I also got to speak extensively with their IT team on my second cruise, and learned how wave phones and WiFi work on board.

[@beltingtokra]

Anna is so underrated

[@jonnyboy4289]

I agree. She's a Disney princess underdog.

[@enriqueramirez0615]

Uh Dan that's not a Lizard, that's a Salamander. He is one of four elements of nature including (The Wind representing AIR🍃, The Salamander representing Fire 🔥, The Horse representing WATER 💦, and the Giants representing EARTH 🪨).

You should do an evolution of Ariel. SO many outfits & appearances!

[@CooperE.]

Do people still wait 3 hours to meet Anna and Elsa at the parks? That is insane.

[@ET31171]

I think that was when they first appered there

[@christiandacanay3086]

@GAF Drawings same, except I only saw Anna. She even surprised me when it was my turn to meet her!

[@ThePumpkinCutie99]

No, even right before Covid, the lines weren’t that long. Maybe up to 2 hours when it’s a busy day but waiting for the characters has been pretty easy to do. I was a bit spoiled by being able to go all the time when I did the Disney college program in fall 2019 so if I had to wait anymore than 30 minutes I’d skip so I never actually met them while I was there but wait times were probably closer to an hour. Midday and other high guest amount times make the wait longer Excuse my lengthy reply

[@Baldjotarokujo]

I think they do for encanto characters

[@emilypeduto981]

i thought it was clever how the hyperion show dressed anna in white to make her body a projection screen, but i wish they had introduced the cloak better. she just quick changed into it offstage as if in the middle of dying she had the time and energy to put on a new outfit. it would have been so easy to introduce it organically by having one of the servants wrap it around her to try to keep her warm.

[@phoenixdiricci6043]

I adored Anna in Once Upon a Time. The casting and costume were both impeccable.

[@LunarLucinda]

The jokes and laugh is what got me so much. I'd hear the laugh and just lose it

[@kkstar1297]

I love the Elsa costume change in the Broadway musical better than in all the other productions because it’s quick it’s easy and very clever. Amazing idea to have the stage’s trapped door just rip the costume off for her. That’s pretty amazing in my opinion. As for Anna, I just love all of her costumes. I love how she did her hair like it’s just down and then around the middle of her head in the back is this very cute braided headband that she has going on. I love it. When I first saw the previews for this movie, I knew right then and there it was going to be a huge hit. And I just couldn’t believe how it just exploded my expectations out of the water. Disney really hit the ball out of the park with this movie. The money that it earned was just unbelievable. Over 4 billion dollars! I couldn’t believe it! Frozen will now and always be one of my favorite Disney movies of all time!

[@august4674]

oh, i love how you included all the different costumes Anna has! Your Elsa video focused on the Let It Go Dress, so i think a similar video on all her other looks would be rly cool too :3

[@Maria_Miciano_5]

Awesome video! I love Queen Anna!

[@Sam-em7co]

Love your commentary! As for the Disney on Ice, the princesses need their skirts shortened so that they can have full movement, and so that their skates don’t get caught on the dresses

[@amandaprouse5720]

I got to see Frozen Broadway when they opened in previews. Loved it ever since. I have yet to go to the parks and see Frozen Ever After in Norway

[@cjtaylor6639]

So glad you made this one!! Love u and TMPVids, keep the DIStory episodes coming

I just remember talking to cast member in 2014 about seeing Anna and Elsa, and you had to get a fast pass to meet them which they had never done before. It was absolutely wild how much Frozen took over.

[@BettyMareeHOHCountry]

woah woah woah. its been 8 years already!!! geez im getting old. Anna is my fav frozen character because i see myself in her for some reason. she is a queen in her own right and i wish that disney would do a wedding short like they did with tangled so we can finally see anna and kristoff marry for crying out loud. also i have seen frozen on ice and i loved it. and i did meet anna and elsa at hong kong disney land the cast member who did Anna she was just a lot of fun to meet and if you ask Anna about Kristoff she will actually gush about him. so i asked her. Anna where is kristoff and seven and she said oh that blonde cutie and seven is up in the mountains collecting ice like always. i just laughed because i wasnt expecting that.

[@luthientinuviel3883]

I saw Frozen on ice...we were super far away from the rink but we saw everything really well

First time watch and already a FAN. Subscribed!

[@fatebreakerproductions]

Anna really deserves more love, even from Disney itself! She's brave, courageous, loving, all the traits that make up a great princess, but so many times is just in Elsa's shadow. how many little girls get disappointed that their sisters claimed to dress up as Elsa first and so theyre "stuck with" Anna.

Definitely prefer Anna to Elsa. Although, I do have to admit her dress in the movie when she switches to the winter dress could very well keep her warm. She didn't need some winter get up like in the broadway version.

[@redgirlfive]

I'm obsessed with frozen the broadway musical (sad that its not coming back to broadway) but its coming to my country and I really wanna see it! (Ciara Renee and Mckenzie Kurtz are my favourite Elsa and Anna) also yay you mentioned Anna in OUAT! (my fav show)

[@TheQuickAsAFlash]

I wish the Frozen short had been handled in some different way; it's the only time I've seen my Christmas tradition portrayed, and I wish I could be happy! But It shouldn't have been attached to Coco lol.

[@sarahlamper5701]

As horrid as that Frozen Olaf “short” before Coco was, that blue dress she wears is my favorite 😍😍😍 I am absolutely obsessed with it. I guess she’s never seen with it anywhere else cause you skipped over it which is a shame bc it really is just so pretty

Ah, Anna. The 4th prettiest Disney girl! Behind Alice, Tinker Bell, and Ariel!

[@konoikurozora5851]

[@christiandacanay3086]

Ah yes, but Anna is no. 2 in my list, with Ariel 1st, Rapunzel 3rd, Belle 4th and Elsa 5th.

[@wraithkelso]

The first time I met Anna & Elsa was in February 2014 at Disneyland so their meet and greet next to Pinocchio still had insanely long lines, but I went on a day it was raining (being from Seattle, "the rain doesn't bother me anyway"), and I'll never forget those circumstances because while I was in line to meet them, I was also on the phone with Merchandise Guest Services to see if I could order a Roger Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit statue/figure from the gallery stores and use my AP discount (this was the first time I had an AP), and that was when I discovered that it actually costs less to order something and get it shipped via merchandise guest services (last time I checked, that feature hasn't returned post shutdown yet) than it was to buy it in person at one of the gallery stores to have shipped home because a day or 2 before I'd bought an Ariel statue/fig at the Disney Gallery so I was able to compare the prices. I haven't been to the parks since Frozen 2 came out so I haven't gotten to see them in their final costumes yet, but hopefully someday I get to see them.

[@Kerberos.Cosplay]

I think the reason why nobody buys Anna going out in the blue dress, is cuz none of the parks outfits translate it well. For one, they make the shirt a SATIN WHY, and they use cheaper fabrics. Like that skirt would have been a wool, with a petticoat or two, and the shirt would have been a thinner wool. Obv this cant be done in the heat or scale that disnet needs it, but still, Anna is done dirty sometimes

[@Mynamehere6901]

Anna had a character glow-up like no other princess has seen before! (I mean, Ariel kinda did, but Disney likes to pretend that she didn't become queen and have a daughter, soooooo....)

[@frozenicequeen7]

I'm kinda sad that I've only ever seen Anna in her F1 dress. I was late coming into the fandom, so I missed the Disney On Ice show and my last trip to Disneyland before the closure was a week or two before F2 dropped, so she was still in her original dress. Hopefully I'll get to meet Queen Anna soon.
