Frozenis a Disney classic that quickly captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, with its compelling story of sisterhood, adventure, and catchy tunes, it’s no wonder the film continues to resonate years after its release. And with live-action adaptations of animated classics becoming increasingly popular, many fans and industry insiders have been speculating about what a live-actionFrozenmight look like.

Amidst these discussions, Kristen Bell, who voiced Anna in the animated films, has stirred up some conversation about her casting preferences. However, Bell’s thoughts have sparked mixed reactions, especially on social media, where opinions on live-action remakes tend to be quite divided.
Kristen Bell and Her Surprising Choice for Anna in Live-ActionFrozen
Kristen Bellhas long been synonymous with Anna, the spunky and fearless younger sister fromFrozen, and her voice acting for the character helped bring it to life in a way that has cemented her place in Disney history. Given her connection to the movie, Bell’s opinion on who should play Anna in a potential live-action adaptation holds weight.
In aninterviewwith Elle, Bell was asked who she would cast as Anna in a live-action remake ofFrozen. Without hesitation, she responded,“First of all, it’s Anna, in the live-action?! All of them, Joey King!”

To many,Joey Kingis a somewhat unconventional pick, as she is known for her roles in films likeThe Kissing BoothandThe Act, King has shown her range, but she isn’t necessarily the first actress that comes to mind for the role of Anna. Many might have expected Bell to name someone likeAnya Taylor-Joy, who has recently expressed her interest in being cast in this particular role if a live-action was ever to be made (viaEntertainment Weekly)

However, Bell’s vote of confidence for King showcases her belief in the actress’s abilities, particularly in embodying Anna’s quirky yet determined personality. And even though the young actress hasn’t been in the spotlight for Disney roles before, her dynamic acting and youthful charm could make her an interesting choice for a live-action adaptation.

Unsurprisingly, Bell’s casting suggestion was met with a wave of differing opinions across social media. Fans took to Twitter to voice their thoughts, with some showing support for King’s potential in the role, while others weren’t so thrilled.
