Kristen Bell has revealed that an emotional song in Frozen 2 was inspired by her mental health struggles.
The 39-year-old actress, who belts out The Next Right Thing as her alter-ego Anna in the hit Disney sequel, explained how the idea came from a discussion with co-director Jennifer Lee.
Speaking on the Disney+ series Into The Unknown: Making Frozen 2, Bell said: ''When Anna thinks everyone around her has perished she has to look inward and realise what else is there to live for.
''And this mantra of 'do the next right thing' came out of a conversation that Jen and I had really early on about my anxiety and depression.
''I think The Next Right Thing, it really is for anyone who is feeling low and struggling and does not know what to do. Because the only thing you can do at those lowest moments is one step at a time.''
Bell added that she frequently follows the advice of the song when she is feeling down.
''When I'm experiencing that, for me, if I wake up and I'm feeling very low, all I've got to do is step out of bed and then, the next right thing is to brush my teeth, and the next right thing is to go and have a cup of coffee, and the next right thing is to wake my kids up," she said.
''And I take those steps incrementally when the world and its problems seem too big for me to handle.''
