The whimsical, magical setting? The catchy, award-winning music? A culmination of all three? Regardless of the reason, fans love it, and Disney is well-aware.

This video shows how fluidly the audio animatronic moves in both the limbs and the face. The lip-syncing to the hit song “Let it Go” by the Broadway star and voice of Elsa, Idina Menzel, is sure to create magical memories for hundreds of Guests.
Immediately, Guests were delighted by the “full-on animatronic,” as opposed to the animatronics utilizing projections on screens in EPCOT’s Frozen Ever After.
If this is just a sneak peek at Hong Kong Disneyland’s version of Frozen Ever After, we definitely can’t wait to see the final product!
