The upcoming Disney release "Frozen" is based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale "The Snow Queen." The directors hope to kickstart a fairy tale revival.

Disney has traversed on very different grounds in the past decade. It seems to have forgotten a timeless treasure: The Fairy Tale. Last explored in 2010's "Tangled," the fairy tale returns in "Frozen" which is another verb- based adjective title.  

Featuring voices of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Santino Fontana, Josh Gad and Alan Tudyk, it tells the tale of two sisters, Anna (Bell) and Elsa (Menzel).  Elsa has the ability and intent to create an entirely new Ice Age so Anna joins forces with a mountain man, Kristoff (Groff), his reindeer, Sven, and a magical snowman, Olaf, to stop her.

The directors, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee had an interview with Comingsoon.net. They share their thoughts on the movies Snow Queen, Elsa.

Buck: "She started as a villain. Elsa, if that's who you're talking about. It was a just a matter of finding her way. She was such a fascinating character and that led us to make her more three-dimensional and not so much one note. Less of a villain and more of a, "Who is this person? Who is she really?"

Lee: "John [Lasseter] is really an interesting guy as a storyteller because the villains are not really his favorite part. If there is a villain, for him, you really need to understand him or her. There needs to be a reason that they are a villain. It can't just be for villains' sake. Oftentimes, when you do that, you end up with much more complex characters."

"We have antagonists through the whole film who are people that exploit the themes of love and fear. We're not giving those away, but we have them. Elsa certainly was not as interesting when she was just a villain, unlike now where she's so torn and ruled by fear. John pushes it because he thinks that's far more interesting."

Buck: "And it is. It turned out to be much, much more interesting than some of the earlier versions we had."
