Abstract
The article examines instances of disability representation in the fantasy genre, focusing particularly on the 2013 American animated fantasy film “Frozen”. It provides evidence, through a thorough analysis of details, such as the protagonist‟s attire and hairstyle, that her magic is a metaphor created to hint at her disability as well as her struggle to cope with it and accept it. The research underscores the importance of diverse and nuanced representation in popular culture.
