Is that you, Elsa? How one woman transforms into a Disney princess

Feb 16, 2016

A big-hearted Disney fan is making kids’ dreams come true with her uncanny fairytale princess impersonations.

Sarah Ingle from Denver in Colorado has spent an astonishing €12,500 on costumes and wigs to turn herself into some of Disney’s most-loved princesses including Snow White, Cinderella, Anna, Elsa and Ariel.

And we have to say we’d come over a little ‘Disney fan-girl’ ourselves if we met her – she looks SO like them that it’s like our fave characters have stepped out of the telly and come to life!

Sarah is a marketing manager by day, but spends many weekends as her princess alter ego, visiting children in hospital in full costume.

“People often compliment me on my looks when I'm in character, and children always think I'm a real princess which is lovely,” she says.

“I'll never forget the day that I was asked to perform for a little girl who was celebrating the beginning of a break from her cancer treatments. Seeing her face light up as she sang along with me was just incredible and it was just the most amazing day.”

Isn’t it amazing how caring and passionate people like Sarah find their own unique ways to make a difference? We can only imagine the happiness she brings to the kids she visits.

If you thought you had seen the last of Disney's most popular animated film ever, you have been seriously misinformed.

Because not only is Frozen getting a sequel, but it will also be made into a Broadway musical for 2018.

And we are totally not ashamed to say that as fully-fledged adults, we adore this film.

Following on from the success of the movie and the animated short Frozen Fever, Disney has announced that it will be adapting the beloved kids story to the stage.

And the company intends to include many of the same writers and musicians who were involved in the original film.

YES.

Disney also announced a sequel in December.

"We enjoyed making Frozen Fever so much and being back in that world with those characters," said John Lassester, chief creative officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios.

"[Writers] Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck have come up with a great idea for a sequel and you will be hearing a lot more about it and we're taking you back to Arendelle. We are so excited about that."

Planning a trip to New York in 2018 ASAP.

In perhaps the most unexpected of Yuletide collaborations, Channing Tatum has channelled full on princess for his Lip Sync Battle against his gorgeous wife, Jenna Dewan.

In a New Year special of the breakout American show, we are treated to a full hour of the Tatum's going hell for leather in order to be crowned lip sync champion against their better halves.

This special episode is due to air January 7th and kicks off season 2 of the show. You can watch the hilarious trailer below.

Apart from Channing performing on a horse and Jenna clearly channelling Magic Mike, the cherry on top has to be Channing in a full on Elsa costume.

And according to Jenna, the Tatum's are "going to war" and we cannot wait.

We have to say this is most definitely #relationshipgoals

A different side of Zayn! Mr Malik channels his inner Olaf with Gigi

If Frozen hasn't captivated the world already, Zayn Malik as hopped on the bandwagon in his latest Dubmash video.

The ex-boyband member shared a video on Twitter, where he lip-sync's some of Olaf's lines.

He clearly thinks the video is as funny as we think it is because he's laughing to himself all the way along.

Now, we love Olaf, but an Olaf-Zayn mash-up could get seriously messy in the future. Who knew he was such a big fan?!

Only yesterday, Zayn shared a photo to his Instagram page with his new girl, Gigi Hadid.

She was visiting him in London all weekend, so no doubt she was behind-the-scenes giggling as he filmed the Olaf video.

The pair really seem to be taking their relationship to the next level – but that doesn't stop Gigi from being a bit shy about it as she was seen hiding her face when she entered his hosue.

Taylor Swift's 1989 tour has come to an end (at least its North American leg has), and the superstar certainly impressed her fans in Tampa, Florida last night.

And with it being Halloween and all, Taylor decided to dress up as one of the world's most loved characters; Olaf from Frozen.

Of course the crowd went WILD as Taylor emerged in the snowman get-up, but it was her next guest that delighted her fans.

Ms Swift welcomed Idina Menzel, the Broadway star whose Frozen hit Let It Go reached the Top 10 of the Hot 100 last year.

Thank you @taylorswift13! That was definitely an out of body experience. Or out of Elsa's body! #1989TourTampa pic.twitter.com/oGPl9l6jp6

The 1989 tour will officially wrap for good on December 12 in Melbourne, Australia but since this was the last American show, she made sure it was one to remember.

You have to see Penelope and North’s perfect Halloween looks

Over the next 48 hours you can expect your Instagram timelines to be completely overloaded with celebrity Halloween looks, but we doubt you'll see anything cuter than this.

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian's daughters got dressed up early for Halloween last night, donning Frozen-insipred looks for the evening.

Penelope wore an Anna costume and red-haired wig, while North (unsurprisingly) dressed as Elsa, the star of the show, in a blonde plaited wig and ice blue dress.

A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Oct 29, 2015 at 11:12am PDT

"Elsa & Anna in the house! #HalloweenVibes," wrote Kim next to a photo of the pair.

Given North's obsession with all things Frozen, we reckon these costumes have been worn a few times before – something tells us this isn't the last Halloween look planned for North this weekend.

Last year the adorable tots dressed as the cutest skunks in town, though North had a second costume just days later.

The two-year-old was also styled as fashion king André Leon Tally for a Vogue-inspired shoot with her mum in a full Anna Wintour-esque wig and Chanel suit.

We cannot WAIT to see what the Kardashians come up with this year.

The Frozen director just confirmed an insane internet fan theory

Fans of Disney have countless theories about how each of the films and characters are actually all connected in some way.

One popular theory is one which connects that characters of Disney’s mega-success Frozen with the story of Tarzan.

The idea is that Anna and Elsa’s parents actually never died. Instead when they were shipwrecked, they ended up on an island this is where their mom gave birth to Tarzan.

So, Tarzan is actually Anna and Elsa’s younger brother.

Chris Buck, the director of Frozen has now come out as saying that he believes the theory could actually be true.

In an interview with MTV News, he said that while the connection may not be official, in his mind he considers the characters to all be one big happy family.

Chris explained his own version of the theory on Sunday saying:

“She gave birth on the boat, to a little boy… somehow they really washed way far away from the Scandinavian waters, and they end up in the jungle. They end up building a tree house and a leopard kills them, so their baby boy is raised by gorillas.”

Sounds legit, right?

He went on to say that “whatever people want to believe, go for it.” Fully encouraging fans to continue with their interesting and sometimes bizarre theories he said “that’s the spirit of Disney.”

Excellent news, so we can look forward to the internet producing more of these fantastic observations:

Ah, that explains it:

Excuse you but there is a new Disney princess in town and she also a personal friend of Queen Elsa of the smash-hit Frozen.

Kristen Bell, who was the voice of Anna in the animated success left a dream-come-true voicemail for one Frozen fan. Avery Huffman, 6, was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), last month. This means Avery has a brain tumour which cannot be operated on.

Kristen got into full Princess of Arendale mode to speak with her young fan. She congratulated her for being “so brave” as she continues to fight her illness.

She also let Avery know that her sister Queen Elsa would love to make her an honorary princess.

You can watch the full video below- but be prepared to experience some very intense feels.

Avery’s parents are also chronicling their daughter’s battle with cancer by using the hashtag #AveryStrong where hundreds of Twitter users have been leaving their messages of support.

Frozen proves yet again that its fans are the most hard core

Maleficent, Simba, Cinderella… While these are some of our all-time favourite characters, we don’t quite know if we would be naming our kids after them.

Although, it seems that there is one Disney film that has sparked quite the baby name craze.

For the first time since 1917, the name Elsa has climbed its way back into the top 500 most popular baby names.

According to The New York Times, a total of 1,131 babies last year were named after Frozen’s leading lady.

This surge means that Elsa is now the 286^th most common name given to new-born baby girls.

With Frozen 2 having been recently confirmed we can only imagine what number Elsa will be at on the list next year.

Did you notice this hilarious joke in Frozen?

It seems that Disney were having a lot more fun than we realised when they were making our absolute favourite film, Frozen.

Despite Frozen being the most popular Walt Disney film in recent years, and people coming up with all sorts of conspiracy theories about it, it seems that there was one joke the creators slipped in that we all missed.

At the end of the film, in the middle of the credits, the studio puts in an apology on behalf of Kristoff.

You may remember during the film when the character Kristoff claims that “all men eat their own boogers.” Well, apparently Disney decided to make it clear, in a hilarious manner, that this is the opinion of Kristoff, and not the company.

The statement reads, “The views and opinions expressed by Kristoff in the film that all men eat their own boogers are solely his own and do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of The Walt Disney Company or the filmmakers.”

The apology continued, “Neither The Walt Disney Company nor the filmmakers make any representation of the accuracy of any such views and opinions.”

As we are still finding more and more jokes in the Disney film, we are also delighted that Frozen 2 has been confirmed and Kristen Bell is set to return to voice Princess Anna once again.
