16. Elsa leaves Anna behind in Arendelle, in order to protect her and keep her safe, and decides to live in a massive and beautiful ice palace she made herself. Which Disney character does NOT leave home to protect a family member she loves?
From Quiz How Unique is Disney's 'Frozen'?
Answer:
Penny from 'The Rescuers' (1977)
Elsa sings, "There's so much fear / You're not safe here," when Anna goes to the North Mountain to try to bring her sister home. Probably Elsa feels guilty from harming Anna when they were little and doesn't want to risk hurting her or anyone else again.
In 'Mulan', Mulan joined the Chinese army in her father's place because she knows he is old and unsteady on his feet, and is thus unlikely to survive fighting. Similarly, Belle from 'Beauty and the Beast' (1991) leaves her poor, provincial French town and decides to be the Beast's prisoner, in order to save her father. Moana, from 'Moana', wants to return the Heart of Te Fiti because it will save her island and her family from destruction. Moana has a dream whilst on this quest about her parents suffering and this spurs her on.
Penny from 'The Rescuers' doesn't leave her orphanage in order to save anyone - she is actually kidnapped by Madame Medusa. She is made to live in Devil's Bayou with Medusa, Mr Snoops and Brutus and Nero, the alligators, until she finds the Devil's Eye, a precious diamond.
