Kristen Bell reveals how her daughters really feel about Frozen and the NSFW joke they slipped in ‘Under the Radar’

Kristen Bell reveals how her daughters really feel about Frozen and the NSFW joke they slipped in ‘Under the Radar’

Kristen Bell has one of the most recognizable voices of her era narrating Gossip Girl in turn as Anna in Disney’s frozen i Frozen 2. But even though we’re obsessed with the Nobody wants that star and his many projects, his daughters are not so impressed. Bell shared some details about his famous animated musical, including exactly what her daughters Lincoln, 11, and Delta, 9, think of it, and the NSFW joke that made it into the final film.

Bell revisited a scene from the 2013 film, in which her character sings “For the First Time in Forever,” to Vanity Fair recently (If you’ve had a child in the last 11 years, you’re probably intimately familiar with this song and many others from the movie starring Idina Menzel, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff.) At one point, she sings. with his phrase, “Why have a ballroom without balls?” joking about his double meaning. (If anyone asks, I was talking about it football balls.)

“How did we get this joke in?” Bell asks. “Come on! We flew it under the radar. It almost didn’t make it. But then we said, ‘What are you talking about? That’s not what it means. Don’t be a pervert.

She’s so funny, and her portrayal of a Disney princess, which includes sleeping around with drool dripping from her mouth, continues to love us today. Bell loves it too, telling the outlet, “I still get so much joy when I see it because I’m so proud.”

But her daughters, who she shares with husband Dax Shepard, aren’t fans. “They certainly appreciate the fact that they can go to college for it. But they’re not part of the ‘Frozen’ phenomenon.

“Because kids are meant to put you down and they’re meant to reject things their parents are involved in,” he continued. “Even if they secretly really like it, they would never tell me.” There’s nothing like kids to keep us humble!

One day, his daughters may even give him feedback on another of his signature roles: Veronica Mars “I haven’t seen Veronica Mars in probably 17 years,” he said Vanity Fair. “Looking forward to the day when my kids are old enough to see some of the themes they explore in ‘Veronica Mars.’ Because I think it probably holds up, is my guess. It was a very well-written show.”

And if they don’t like it, well, it’s a good thing Bell has tough skin. In a previous interview with And! news, Bell shared how her daughters treat her at home. “The amount of insults they can throw at me in a very short period of time, it really brings me back down to earth,” he said. “I come home and they just pull the rug out from under you so quickly,” she continued, adding that she would call a movie about her life “My Kids Keep Me Grounded.”

They will thank you one day!
