Frozen has captured the heart of all kinds from the toddler wearing her Elsa costume or how their first -learned song happens to be "Let It Go" up to the adult who just can't stop the song running on their heads. It is mind-boggling that it went totally popular, being the highest-grossing animated film of all time, the 13th highest-grossing film of all time, the highest-grossing film of 2013 with over $1.276 billion earnings worldwide box office revenue. With all that achievement, was it easy for Walt Disney to decide on a sequel? It took two years to decide, and a lot of deliberation has occurred as the Mouse House executives would not want any "force storytelling" to happen.
It was on March 2015 that Frozen 2 was officially announced a full- length sequel over a shareholders meeting with then-chief creative officer John Lasseter and he explained how characters like Elsa, Anna and Kristoff, and the others deserve another run with the team-up of Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. It was just so hard not to pass up the opportunity since the original movie was such a great hit, plus Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez were set to make "four or five" additional songs which were for the initially prioritized Broadway musical. In March 2018, Anderson-Lopez in an interview about Broadway's Frozen, for which she and her husband wrote the new featured songs, confirmed that they had already recorded a song for the sequel with Kristen Bell.
The first Frozen 2 trailer was first released on February 12, watching Elsa dive on a fierce ocean, seemingly searching and Anna looking at all those snowflakes symbols and lots of autumn leaves and Kristoff riding at the back of Sven as they run along with the relatives and again autumn leaves with Olaf. Josh Gad was just so excited for the movie and generous enough to give a hint for the snowflakes having four symbols on it, and that these may mean that these four seasons can be seen in all parts of the movie one at the same time. Also, there are speculations that this time, Elsa and Anna's parent's mysterious fate in the ocean might be solved as two new characters under the voices of Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown whose roles in the film was not yet revealed.
Frozen 2 is directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, produced by Peter Del Vecho and Allison Schroeder as the screenwriter to assist Lee as she replaces John Lasseter as the head of Walt Disney Animation. Frozen 2 features the returning voices of Idina Menzel as Queen Elsa, Kristen Bell as Princess Anna, Jonathan Groff as Kristoff and Josh Gad as Olaf. Watch out for more updates on Frozen 2 as viewers once again feel the rush of excitement as it returns in cinemas on November 22, 2019.
