ALBANY, NY -- A young girl in New York now owns a "Frozen"-themed item that's completely unique to her: a prosthetic arm.

Karissa Mitchell was born without a right hand. Now 9 years old, she recently received a prosthetic made with a 3-D printer. Students at Siena College helped make the prosthetic, which features themed elements from the hit Disney film, local station WTEN reports.

It took about 30 hours to print and includes about 30 pieces.

Disney is the parent company of this ABC station.
