I don't consider her one. I think some people consider her an antagonist because she made a lot of mistakes during the movie. However, she was breaking from the stress and couldn't control her emotions. She wanted to help Anna and Arendelle, but she didn't really understand her powers and I personally think she was afraid of making things worse. Disney was originally going to make her a villain, but I'm glad they didn't because just because she made some mistakes, she had a good heart and meant well. Whether or not Elsa is considered an antagonist is based on opinion. I consider her a protagonist :)

She's a deuteragonist, not an antagonist.

Antagonist = the character that opposes the protagonist.

Deuteragonist = the second character that the media focuses on (the protagonist obviously being the first).

I heard that Elsa was, in early preproduction, considered to be the villain/antagonist of the movie, but a lot can change in movie production and in her case her role changed a lot!

No. She never once had bad intentions. Hans would be the one true antagonist of the movie, along with the Duke of Weselton's guards.

Elsa is not an antagonist. She isn't evil. She does not want to kill anyone, take over the world, etc. (which is pretty much the motive of every antagonist I've ever seen). She is more of a protagonist. In truth, Anna and Elsa are each other's foils.
Foil: a character created to demonstrate the qualities of the hero through comparison and contrast

Actually Elsa is the deuteragonist, not quite the protagonist.

No, I personally think she should be the real main character since she is the one teaching the most of the lessons in the movie.
