If she were really in China, what would Mulan's dramatic solo, "Reflection" sound like in Chinese? Or what about Belle singing in French? A dedicated Disney fan has found the answer. Below, check out a compilation of every Disney leading lady of the modern era- from Ariel to Elsa- singing their iconic songs in their own languages!

BroadwayWorld previously announced that the next Disney heroine to hit the Broadway stage will be Elsa. FROZEN is set for a 2018 Broadway bow. In addition, FROZEN will play its out-of-town tryout beginning in summer 2017 at a theatre to be announced.

Frozen features music and lyrics by creators of the film score Kristen Anderson-Lopez (In Transit, Up Here) and Robert Lopez (Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon, Up Here) and a book by Jennifer Lee(Wreck-It Ralph), the film's screenwriter and director (with Chris Buck). Frozen won 2014 Oscars® for Best Song ("Let It Go") and Best Animated Feature.

Golden Globe Award and Obie winner and two-time Tony Award®nominee Alex Timbers (Peter and the Starcatcher, Here Lies Love, Amazon'sMozart in the Jungle) is Frozen's director and Tony-winner Peter Darling(Billy Elliot, Matilda) is choreographer.

The design team for Frozen includes scenic and costume design by seven-time Tony Award winner Bob Crowley(Mary Poppins, The Coast of Utopia, An American in Paris), lighting design by five-time Tony Award winner Natasha Katz (Aladdin, An American in Paris, The Glass Menagerie) and sound design by four-time Tony nominee Peter Hylenski (The Scottsboro Boys, Motown, After Midnight).

Two-time Tony Award winner Stephen Oremus (Avenue Q, Wicked, The Book of Mormon) is music supervisor and creates vocal and incidental arrangements.

Casting and Broadway dates and theatre will be announced at a future date.

Frozen is produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, under the direction of Thomas Schumacher.
