The rendition of 'Let it Go' by a little Ukrainian girl in a bunker captured the attention of the original Elsa, actor Idina Menzel.
A brave little Ukrainian girl has captured hearts worldwide with her rendition of an inspiring Disney song brought to life in an underground bunker.
The video, which has been viewed more than 14 million times since it was posted to Twitter Sunday, shows a young girl standing up in front of a group of people in a bomb shelter.
The crowd of people in the bunker falls silent as she begins to sing the first few lines of Let It Go from Disney’s Frozen.
According to CNN, the video was captured in a shelter in Kyiv, Ukraine, where people are hiding from increasing attacks by Russian forces.
CNN identified the young girl as a child named Amelia, who told Marta Smekhova — the woman who recorded and originally posted the clip — that she wanted to be “a singer on a grand stage.”
Marta said to Amelia, “Well, why not start now?”
Idina Menzel, who originally sang the song in the role of Elsa in Frozen, shared the tweet, adding “We see you. We really, really see you. 💙💛.”
