DISNEY’S Frozen has made a whopping $1.2 billion since its release last year, making it the highest grossing animated movie in history.
Everyone involved in the production must be set for life, right? Wrong.

Believe it or not, actor Spencer Lacey Ganus, the voice of teenage Elsa, arguably the movie’s most famous character, made just $10,000 for her role.
TMZ reports that Ganus, who was 15 when she made the film, walked away with just $10,000 in residual cheques.

But wait, it gets worse. Had Frozen not turned out to be Disney’s biggest money-spinner ever, the youngster would have had to make to with the paltry one-day payment $926 she was originally guaranteed for her voiceover work.
The actor’s contract was made public after it was submitted to court — a routine procedure for minors working in the industry.

Ganus is not complaining, however. Her agent says she is putting the cash towards her college fund and excited about future opportunities after Disney “expressed an interest” in hiring her for other projects.
