“Frozen” is one of Disney’s most successful movies, but initial screen tests rated it a flop.

“Cut to six months later, when I’m screening the film with my wife and Kristen Bell (Anna) and Idina Menzel (Elsa) and the creatives,” he said. “I turn to my wife, who is the most critical person I know…and she says, ‘This is really, really special.’ And I left thinking, OK, we really hit the mark.”
