Ice Princess is a 2005 Disney live action film, directed by Tim Fywell.

Michelle Trachtenberg plays Casey Carlyle, a brainy bookworm and physics geek. Casey decides to use her academic skill by pursuing a scholarship offered to the top students in the state. For the scholarship, Casey must do a 'personal' project about physics. While watching a figure skating competition featuring Sasha Cohen, Casey realizes that her hobby, skating, would make a perfect project for getting her scholarship. Initially, she watches other skaters at the local rink, but decides to try to improve her own skating by applying the physics and what she found out from analysing other skaters. She becomes exceptionally good at skating, even skipping two levels to get a Junior Pass.

Unsure of what she really wants, Casey has a difficult time juggling schoolwork, skating, and a job to pay for her skating lessons. Her mom, played by Joan Cusack, realizes that her daughter's constant skating is affecting her schoolwork and tells her to stop skating. Casey refuses and goes to regionals with help from her friend, Genn, and her coach. In the end, Casey turns down the scholarship to Harvard to keep skating, and attains a silver medal in the Sectionals. Casey and her mom reconcile after two months, and Casey finally gains her mother's support.
