Looks like Anna Faith Carlson might not be the only real-life Queen Isabella!
Peruvian author Isabella Tanikumi is suing Disney and the producers of Frozen for $250 million, claiming that the story is plagiarized from her 2011 autobiography, Yearnings of the Heart.
Sadly, Tanikumi's life story doesn't include any talking snowmen, and she's not able to turn everything that she touches to ice. Even so, the author says that her adventures in the Andes following a family tragedy bear a stunning resemblance to Isabella's exile.
The suit doesn't go into specifics with regard to which elements of her life Tanikumi feels were lifted for the script, but we imagine she won't be a fan of season 4 of Once Upon a Time, either. As far as we can tell, it's basically Frozen for grown-ups.
Frozen grossed $1.2 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing animated film of all time. In that context, the $250 million that Tanikumi is asking for almost seems somewhat reasonable, but she almost certainly won't see a dime.
Clearly, the author either believes that she has an iron-clad case, or she's not aware that Disney is famous for fiercely protecting its properties against such suits.
Out advice to Ms. Tanikumi is to simply let it go. (You knew that was coming.)
It's Kristoff and Elsa on Once Upon a Time Season 4. And also Sven!!!
