Unforgettable Disney Song Hides An Explicit Joke
Kristen Bell recently revealed that one of her songs in the hit Disney movie Frozen contains an intentional dirty joke. The actress, who is no stranger to raunchy comedy, discussed her experience working with Disney on the film and revealed she couldn’t believe the joke, in which Anna sings the line “why have a ballroom with no balls” made it into the movie. She also discussed making her character, Anna, more grounded than the average Disney princess.
“How did we get that joke in there? It almost didn’t make it in.”

The line in question comes from the song “For the First Time in Forever” in which Kristen Bell sings about her Frozen character’s stuffy life. During the opening verse of the song she sings, “Why have a ballroom with no balls?” While the line could be a reference to the lack of dances being held, many pointed out that the line could also apply to male genitals.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair posted on TikTok, Kristen Bell herself confirmed that the Frozen song was using the line as an intentional double entendre. After singing the line the actress asked, “How did we get that joke in there?” before saying, “It almost didn’t make it in.” She then claimed that when confronted about the line, the team behind the hit movie denied the obvious comedic interpretation, managing to avoid censorship.
Despite Kirsten Bell’s dirty joke that slid by Disney’s censors, Frozen was a huge hit.
While the dirty joke is an extreme example, Kristen Bell also told Vanity Fair about how she pushed to make her Frozen character more relatable than other Disney Princesses. She had nothing but good things to say about her Disney experience, with the company allowing her to shape the character to a certain degree. She cited a scene when Anna is sleeping as an example, insisting that the character should be loudly snoring and drooling.
Despite Kirsten Bell’s dirty joke that slid by Disney’s censors, Frozen was a huge hit. Released in 2013 it made over a billion dollars at the box office and became one of the decade’s defining family movies. It spawned a sequel which also earned over a billion dollars, with a third film slated for release in 2027.
While the line may seem out of place in a Disney movie, Kristen Bell is known for her comedic acting both before and after Frozen. Her character in The Good Place was known for her crass humor and foul mouth, often comically censored due to the particular rules of the afterlife. She also starred in the 2008 raunchy romantic comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Of course, Kristen Bell’s raunchy joke in Frozen is far from the first adult material to make it into a Disney movie. An infamous scene in Tarzan briefly showed the shadow of the movie’s villain Clayton hanging to death. Comedian voice actors like Robin Williams in Aladdin and Eddie Murphy in Mulan also often snuck slightly dirty jokes into their performances.

The double meaning behind the line in “For the First Time in Forever” seemed obvious to many adult fans, but it’s interesting to see Kristen Bell confirm the intention behind the crass Frozen joke. Given the movie’s incredible success at the box office and as a merchandising opportunity, Disney isn’t likely to act on the revelation. Adult jokes meant for the parents often make their way into family movies, but the dirty line is one of the sneakiest.
