Like all other culture-related projects, Idina Menzel’s documentary has been seriously hampered by the health pandemic. It took four long years for the singer to complete it completely. But after that, she had to face another big problem: censorship from Disney+ studios. Since she is the voice of Elsa, some words and images could not be kept in her documentary. The studios therefore decided to drop the project, which did not discourage the artist: “I lost the funding at one point, so I bought back [le film]. I wanted to find people who really believed in it and who were going to be creative. I bet on myself, which I constantly try to do. I’m so happy it came to fruition.”
