What do they know about love? And, more importantly, what do they know about iconic Disney couples?

We recently visited the Theatre Royal Drury Lane to meet the West End’s newest Disney couple. Emily Lane and Djavan van de Fliert play Anna and Kristoff, respectively, in the hit musical Frozen, so we thought we’d take the opportunity to test their knowledge of romantic pairings from the wider world of Disney.

Check out our exclusive TikTok below:
