 * The Walt Disney Animation Studios film Frozen was originally developed as an adaptation of "The Snow Queen", although by the time the film was released the plot had almost nothing in common with the original story. [28]
 * Frozen, an animated film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released in 2013, followed the success of the Rapunzel film Tangled, is loosely based on The Snow Queen. A film adaptation of the original tale had been in development since the late 1930s when Walt Disney himself took an interest in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. The protagonists of Kai and Gerda were rewritten as Queen Elsa of Arendelle and her younger sister Princess Anna, respectively. Elsa also took some elements of the original fairy tale's Snow Queen, such as having the ability to produce ice from her bare hands, but while the character from the original fairy tale was neutral and, to some degree, villainous, Elsa is depicted as a main character. Frozen Fever, a short film sequel to the 2013 film, was later released in 2015.
