The Disney's Frozen Whitewashing Controversy refers to the long-standing debate and internet discourse regarding the depiction of the Sámi people and the skin tones of characters in the Frozen franchise. While the films are inspired by Nordic cultures, critics and activists pointed out the discrepancy between the diverse indigenous North Sámi populations and the predominantly fair-skinned character designs in the first film. This led to a significant online movement and eventual collaboration between Disney and the Sámi parliaments for Frozen 2 to ensure more authentic cultural representation. In meme culture, this topic is often used to critique corporate diversity efforts, highlight the differences between concept art and final products, or discuss the importance of cultural accuracy in global animation.
