The teenage actress who voiced Elsa in Disney's Frozen took home more than $10,000 for her part in the movie that went on to make more than $1.2billion.

At only 15 years old, actress Spencer Lacey Ganus gave her voice to the teenage Elsa but she received payment for only one day’s work, according to a contract obtained by TMZ.

Ganus had a few lines in the movie that went onto become Disney's highest-grossing film ever, with another younger actress voicing the younger Elsa and another taking the adult part.

The teen's take home pay is a far cry from other Disney voice actors like Tom Hanks who cashed in $17.2million for Toy Story 3 alone, according to The Richest.

When Robin Williams offered his wide gamut of voices to the Genie in Aladdin in 1992 he took a pay packet of $86,000 because he wanted to be part of the film for his children.

But the comedian later accused Disney of breaking their agreement because Williams entered into the role on the condition that he did not "want to sell anything — as in Burger King, as in toys, as in stuff," he said in 1993.
