Gale

Gale is a character in the upcoming Disney animated feature film, Frozen II. It is a powerful wind spirit that dwells within the Enchanted Forest.

Development
Gale proved to be one of the more difficult characters to visualize for the animators, as wind does not have a physicality to it. Early visual development portrayed Gale as an ethereal being. Eventually, it was decided that Gale would interact with leaves, sticks, and debris to identify itself. New software was created to make this possible, titled "Swoop". Swoop allowed animators to create a path that Gale would travel along, which would then be used to add leaves and other objects to identify the character's presence.
