elsas-castle-frozen-iceElsa created herself one sweet castle. I still find it impressive that she was able to build that bad boy all on her own. Let’s take a look at some of the other amazing castles that we have seen animated throughout history (this includes CGI castles too!) and see what might have inspired Elsa to create her own masterpiece.

10. The Disney Logo

I know, it might not be intricate, but this castle is so recognizable, I am sure that just looking at it has hit you with a wave of nostalgia, and now the little theme song is running through your head as you read this.

9. King Triton’s Castle from The Little Mermaid

He has one of the most unique castles that I have ever seen before, and it is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Plus, I can’t help but get “Under the Sea” stuck in my head whenever I see it. If only I were a mermaid…

8. Merida’s Castle in Brave

Okay, just look at the location of that place. Who wouldn’t want to live there? Plus, it has all of those awesome secret passages!

7. Beast’s Castle in Beauty and the Beast

He might not have the most recognizable castle on the outside, but on the inside we have magic and wonder galore, plus an amazing library that I am completely jealous of.

6. Howl’s Moving Castle

This might be the most bizarre castle yet–and we love that about it!

5. Maleficent’s Castle from Sleeping Beauty

This castle is certainly memorable, even if you wouldn’t want to necessarily live there…

4. Hogwarts from the Harry Potter series

Now I know for a fact that we all want to live there, with it’s moving staircases and magic and talking portraits and just complete and total awesomeness.

3. The White Witch’s Castle from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Normally, this castle might rate a little lower on the Awesome-o-Meter, however, it got bumped up a little because I’m pretty sure that this was Elsa’s main inspiration for her own fortress. She and the White Witch could have gotten along well…

2. Rapunzel’s Castle from Tangled

tangled-disney-castle-rapunzel-lights-festival-ending-scene

Maybe it’s those lights, but it really makes her castle look so ridiculously beautiful and perfect. I wish I could live there!

1. Anastasia’s Castle from Anastasia

The whole dancing scene was so beautiful, and while we never did see all that much of the outside of the castle, the inside was so skillfully done; evolving from a dilapidated building to a powerful and masterful castle from Anastasia’s memory.

Honorable Mentions: The Emperor’s palace in Mulan (there is a plethora of fireworks which would make it so much fun to live there!), Prince Eric’s castle in The Little Mermaid (seaside adjacent!), the temple from The Road to El Dorado (mainly because it is filled to the brim with gold…), Mount Olympus from Hercules (because that kind of looks like a castle, and it’s pretty cool), and the Sultan’s palace in Aladdin (because that was so different in comparison to all of our other Disney castles, which is always fun.)

What are some other animated castles that have wowed you?
