We just learned so much about Disney’s classic movie Frozen!

Believe it or not, the original blockbuster premiered in theaters 10 years ago. In honor of the special anniversary, Vanity Fair got stars including Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff together to look back on the start of the successful franchise.

In the process, we learned a lot about how the final movie we know and love differed from the original plot. It featured different actresses reading for Elsa and Anna (the characters played by Idina and Kristen) and a very different plot.

We also learned that Frozen was not the first Disney movie either Idina or Kristen auditioned for. Interestingly, they were both in the running for the same part in another hit from the House of Mouse.

At the end of the interview, the cast also reflected on John Travolta‘s now iconic flub at the Oscars when he introduced Idina as Adele Dazeem.

Miley Cyrus became one of the Disney Channel’s breakout stars playing Hannah Montana. However, it turns out that she faced some stiff competition for the role.

The 31-year-old Endless Summer Vacation hitmaker was only 13 years old when she was chosen to play the pop star who hid her offstage identity from fans behind a blonde wig.

She stuck with the role until 2011, releasing music and even starring in a movie inspired by the character. After that, Miley went on to launch her solo music career, becoming the Grammy winning sensation she is today.

Thirteen years ago, Hannah pulled off her iconic blonde wig in the show’s fourth and final season. It brought an end to her secret identity and introduced fans to Miley Stewart, the talented teen behind the blonde hair.

In honor of Miley‘s recent Grammy wins, we did some digging to track down all of the other actresses who might have de-wigged themselves on the show.

We discovered five actresses that auditioned for the part before Miley was cast. The list includes several other Disney Channel stars as well as a few musicians.

The Hannah Montana casting director has even revealed the top three actresses in the running, while other stars have said that they were offered the part and turned it down.

Tish Cyrus opened up about the Cyrus family’s experience when Miley and Billy Ray were starring in Hannah Montana.

The “Flowers” Grammy winner came to fame playing the titular character in the hit Disney Channel series. Her real-life dad played her onscreen dad, too.

During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Tish revealed how she was responsible for getting her ex-husband cast and why she championed him joining the show.

She also responded to Billy Ray, who previously said that the show “destroyed” their family.

The Lilo & Stitch movie is currently filming in Hawaii and we have some photos from set!

Billy Magnussen is playing the role of Agent Pleakley and he was spotted in costume on set on Monday (February 5) in Oahu, Hawaii.

In the Disney animated movie, Pleakley was an alien sent to Earth by the United Galactic Federation to prevent Dr. Jumba Jookiba from harming anything or anyone on Earth while they look for Stitch.

It was believed by many that Billy would just be voicing the role of Pleakley and the character would be created using CGI, but it appears the character might be human after all.

Billy is best known for roles in movies like Into the Woods, Game Night, Aladdin, and No Time to Die, as well as the series Made for Love.

One of the actors cast in the movie had to be recast amid a controversy.

Caitlyn Jenner has a bone to pick with Disney, and she seemingly wants Elon Musk‘s help to make it happen.

If you missed it, the tech billionaire is currently funding a wrongful termination and discrimination lawsuit for former Disney+ star Gina Carano. The actress was fired from The Mandalorian following controversial social media comments in 2021.

After news of the lawsuit broke, Elon took to his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to offer similar support to anyone who had been “discriminated against by Disney or its subsidiaries.” Caitlyn responded and appeared to reveal why she felt she had a case.
