Yesterday, Disney announced their plans to produce a sequel to critical and commercial hit Frozen, during the annual Walt Disney Company shareholders meeting. Pixar's John Lasseter, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Frozen actor Josh Gad were the ones to make the announcement.
Frozen directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee will return to develop the sequel along with producer Peter Del Vecho. Josh Gad has also been confirmed to return to the role of Olaf. Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell are expected to reprise their roles as Elsa and Anna. However, other details about the film have yet to be revealed.
Frozen was released in November 2013 and became the highest grossing animated film of all time, as well as the fifth highest grossing film of all time, making over $1.25 billion on a $150 million budget. The film's soundtrack topped music charts, with the song "Let It Go" winning the Oscar for Best Original Song. The film also took home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature as well. You can see a Frozen short film entitled Frozen Fever before Disney's Cinderella this weekend.
This is not shocking news. We all knew this was going to happen eventually. I loved Frozen when it first came out and I still really enjoy it to this day, but the hype does get a little annoying after a certain period of time. But, with the original cast (we're not sure about Jonathan Groff as Kristoff) and crew coming back, I'm sure this sequel will satisfy hardcore fans of the first film.
