The Grammy-nominated \"Into the Unknown,\" Kristen added, sums up what many were feeling at the start of the pandemic.

\"The stakes of the song are sort of this call that is dangerous and ... forces Elsa to take action,\" she said. \"I think that does resonate with the current situation of everybody kind of being lost in the woods, having to find their way forward.\"

You can hear more from Kristen and Robert in a special bonus episode of ABC Audio's Inside Frozen 2 podcast, available for streaming now.
