Frozen Actress Only Paid $926 Despite the Film's $1.2 Billion Gross

Frozen may be one of the highest-grossing animated movies, but paying the voice behind the film's lead character is just so gross.

Spencer Lacey Ganus, one of the actresses who gave voice to the character of Elsa, was paid a measly US$926.20 for one-day guaranteed work, her contract filed at court indicates, an exclusive report from TMZ can reveal.

With the movie grossing US$1.2 billion, Ganus' paycheck was just a mere 0.000077% of the money earned after the animated movie became a blockbuster hit.

Given the paltry paycheck that 15-year-old Ganus got, many wonder how much was paid to Idina Menzel, whose voice got more airtime given that she was the voice behind the adult Elsa  and the smash hit, "Let it Go"?

But compared to Menzel, Ganus only got to speak four dialogs and 30 seconds after the movie was edited.

Joining Mendel and Ganus as the voices behind the animated film were Eva Bella, whose voice was lent to an eight-year-old Elsa. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Kristen Bell, Livvy Stubenrach (5 years old), Katie Lopez (5 years old and singing) and Agatha Lee Monn (9 years old, singing) were the voices behind Anna.

Based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, Frozen tells the epic tale of a brave princess in search for her sister who was cursed to be trapped in eternal winter.

The film won the Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
