The mistake in the “Let it go” scene in “Frozen” (2013)
Through a video clip posted on March 8, 2023, character animation effects specialist Cruz Contreras revealed the mistake in Elsa’s scene: her hair crossed her body instead of moving naturally between her shoulders and arm during during the chorus of the song “Let it go”.
It is a very fast movement that can be missed by the naked eye when it flashes, but the most detailed ones managed to notice it.
Due to the nature of his job, the animator was able to ask the scene artist why he made the mistake, and it turned out to be on purpose. The reason? The music tempo was so fast that it was impossible for them to add the full movement of the hair, so they decided to go through the character’s body because they thought the audience wouldn’t notice.
