Dory, voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, in a scene from the Pixar sequel "Finding Dory."Pixar/AP  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Sep 20, 2016 9:04 PM UTC It’s a clash of the Disney animated universes: in an unexpected (and, frankly, adorable) bit on Ellen DeGeneres’s show with guest Kristen Bell, the two actresses — who have each voiced iconic characters for Disney, as forgetful [Dory in _Finding Dory_](http://time.com/4375834/baby-dory-finding-dory/?iid=sr-link6) and upbeat Princess Anna in [the blockbuster _Frozen_](http://time.com/3656230/why-kids-cant-resist-frozen/?iid=sr-link2) — gave their cartoon selves a chance to get acquainted. (Well, sort of.) During the _The Ellen DeGeneres Show_ on Tuesday, Ellen brings out cardboard cut-outs for the two to stick their faces into, and they enact the unlikely meet-up, busting out their instantly-recognizable character voices and character traits. [Anna’s relentless optimism](http://time.com/4419780/kristen-bell-frozen-game-of-thrones-anna-arya/?iid=sr-link5) played against Dory’s instant memory loss, making it one mashup of universes that shouldn’t work but is really quite funny when it does, all of which comes down to the comic talent of the two actresses. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4501913/ellen-dory-frozen-disney-princess-mashup/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4501913/ellen-dory-frozen-disney-princess-mashup/"},"headline":"Watch Dory Meet Frozen's Princess Anna in a Live-Action Disney Mashup","datePublished":"2016-09-20T21:04:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:47.703Z","description":"The princess and the... blue tang?","url":"https://time.com/4501913/ellen-dory-frozen-disney-princess-mashup/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf7bca3cafed9568b/6988987f196cf4e3eb03c143/finding-dory.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf7bca3cafed9568b/6988987f196cf4e3eb03c143/finding-dory.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Box Office","caption":"This image released by Disney shows the character Dory, voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, in a scene from \"Finding Dory.\" The Pixar sequel far-surpassed the already Ocean-sized expectations to take in $136.2 million, according to comScore estimates Sunday, June","creditText":"Pixar/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4501913/ellen-dory-frozen-disney-princess-mashup/","name":"Watch Dory Meet Frozen's Princess Anna in a Live-Action Disney Mashup"}}]}] ```
