director jennifer lee strongly believed that there could not be any other anna but kristen bell, saying, "it was definitely a wonderful surprise hearing her voice [during auditions], not knowing that she had been classically trained. also, she had such a warm, sweet voice. she was everything that we could've hoped for anna." co-director chris buck shared lee's ideas, commenting, "kristen bell for anna was the very first person that we saw. we did a lot of casting to find anna, but she just hit it out of the park. from the beginning we loved her, and she just kind of became anna and anna became her. i don't know which one is which." idina menzel was also surprised by her co-star's singing ability, stating that, "i didn't know how great a singer she was. i quickly found out and need to constantly tell her because she doesn't tell anybody else! she's always playing it down." songwriter kristen anderson-lopez later commended bell's quick comprehension of her ideas, saying that she would collaborate with the actress for "the rest of [her] life" if she could. anna's animator becky bresee commented that bell's voice "lends itself well, so you are taking bits and pieces."
