After decades worth of umming and ahhing, which started when Walt Disney originally touted to adapt Hans Christen Andersen's The Snow Queen in the 1940s, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee were finally hired to bring their own take on the tale to the big screen, under the new title of 'Frozen.' Buck and Lee decided to turn the titular character of The Snow Queen, who in 'Frozen' is Elsa, from a villain into a more relatable and redeemable character, a laborious process that the duo recently discussed with SpinOff. She noted that before the song Lee and Buck had planned to keep Elsa a villain, however they were already wrestling with the thematic idea of "more love versus fear instead of good versus evil," which they believed was more "compelling," while they had already made the pivotal decision to make the two lead characters sisters, which "gave such emotional depth to the whole story," and "seemed to really resonate." Then the minute that they heard Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez's song they realised they "could break free from the villain and do more complex things with her character."
