Frozen Characters: Names, Voice Actors and Who Is Who

The Frozen characters center on two sisters from Arendelle, Elsa and Anna, and the friends who travel with them: Kristoff, his reindeer Sven and a living snowman named Olaf. Frozen (2013), directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, introduced all five, along with Prince Hans, the troll leader Pabbie and the trading post owner Oaken. Frozen II (2019), directed by Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, added the sisters' mother Iduna and the Northuldra people of the Enchanted Forest. Each character comes with the actor behind the voice, and the full credits sit on the frozen cast page.

Elsa is voiced by Idina Menzel, with Eva Bella as Young Elsa. She is a princess of Arendelle born with magical ice powers, and a childhood accident in which she hits her younger sister with a blast of ice leaves her shut away behind the castle gates. Her coronation day, when the gates reopen, is the moment her secret comes out in front of the court. The elsa powers guide covers how those abilities grow between the two films.

Anna is voiced by Kristen Bell, with Livvy Stubenrauch as Young Anna. After the accident the trolls heal her and erase her memory of the magic, so she grows up knowing only that her sister has pulled away. She gets engaged on the day of the coronation, and when Elsa flees to the North Mountain, Anna is the one who goes after her. That loyalty carries into Frozen II, where the sisters travel together.

Kristoff is an ice deliverer voiced by Jonathan Groff, and he joins Anna on the climb up the North Mountain. His companion is Sven, the reindeer, which makes Sven the answer if you are searching for Frozen characters who are reindeer. Frozen II credits Groff for Kristoff, Sven and the other reindeer, so one voice covers all three.

Olaf is a living snowman voiced by Josh Gad, and he appears in all three shorts. Once Upon a Snowman (2020) follows him from the moment he wakes on the mountain until he meets Anna and Kristoff, and Olaf's Frozen Adventure (2017) sends him across Arendelle collecting holiday traditions. Frozen Fever (2015) has him helping Kristoff and Sven plan Anna's birthday party.

Hans is the Prince of the Southern Isles, voiced by Santino Fontana, and Anna quickly gets engaged to him on the day of Elsa's coronation. His story turns on events late in the film, so the character page is the place for the rest.

Oaken, voiced by Chris Williams, runs the trading post and sauna, and he appears in both features and all three shorts. Bulda, voiced by Maia Wilson, is credited in both films. Pabbie, the troll leader voiced by Ciarán Hinds in both films, has his own Grand Pabbie page. Frozen (2013) also credits Alan Tudyk as the Duke, Stephen J. Anderson as Kai and Edie McClurg as Gerda.

Iduna is the sisters' mother, voiced by Evan Rachel Wood. The Enchanted Forest brings in Honeymaren (Rachel Matthews), Ryder (Jason Ritter) and Yelena (Martha Plimpton), alongside Mattias (Sterling K. Brown), Agnarr (Alfred Molina) and King Runeard (Jeremy Sisto). If you watch the sequel after frozen 2013, these are the names to learn first, because the second film leans on the history of its own forest. The frozen 2 page has the full plot.

The male Frozen characters are Kristoff, Sven, Olaf, Hans, Oaken, the Duke, Kai, Pabbie, Agnarr, Mattias, Ryder and King Runeard. By billing, Kristoff, Olaf and Hans have the largest roles, voiced by Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad and Santino Fontana.

The shorts mostly reuse the main cast, with a few additions. Frozen Fever adds the Snowgies, small snow creatures that appear when Elsa sneezes, and credits Paul Briggs as Marshmallow, the snow monster from the first film. Olaf's Frozen Adventure adds Mr. Olsen (John de Lancie) and Mrs. Olsen (Lauri Fraser) to the voice cast. The shorts sit outside the main watch order, which is laid out in frozen movies in order, and the frozen timeline shows where each fits.

Disney has dated Frozen III for November 24, 2027, according to TheWrap. The frozen 3 page tracks the cast and release news, and the frozen movies hub links every film.
