The woman behind Frozen has finally spoken out about whether or not ice princess Elsa might get a girlfriend in the Disney sequel.

The CGI original was an instant hit in 2013, and many interpreted its Oscar-winning song Let It Go as a coming-out anthem (although it's not the only alternative take on the tune). Fans even launched petitions for Disney to make the theory canon, and a #GiveElsaAGirlfriend campaign on Twitter.

Now writer and co-director Jennifer Lee has responded to the speculation in an interview with the Huffington Post.

"I love everything people are saying [and] people are thinking about with our film – that it’s creating dialogue, that Elsa is this wonderful character that speaks to so many people," said Lee, who was promoting her new film, A Wrinkle In Time. "It means the world to us that we’re part of these conversations."

"Where we’re going with it, we have tons of conversations about it, and we’re really conscientious about these things," the director added. "For me... Elsa’s every day telling me where she needs to go, and she’ll continue to tell us. I always write from character-out, and where Elsa is and what Elsa’s doing in her life, she’s telling me every day. We’ll see where we go."
