Michelle Trachtenberg's Best Starring Role Was in This Unfairly Overlooked Disney Teen Drama

When you watch a Disney movie that's centered on a teenager's experience, you'll usually get one of two scenarios. Most of the time, you'll see teens who fall into the broadest stereotypes. The High School Musicalfilms were all about the status quo of, well, high school and breaking out of it. The other half centers on teenagers who are thrust into circumstances that stretch the suspension of disbelief; see the entire setup of The Princess Diaries. But 20 years ago, Disney put out a film that managed to capture the teenage experience perfectly with Ice Princess. A large part of that is due to the late Michelle Trachtenberg's starring role; in the same vein as her Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl performances, Trachtenberg gave plenty of depth to what could have been a one-note character.
