In 2013, Frozen became one of the biggest hits of the year generating $1.3 billion at the box office and even winning an Oscar. Frozen now holds the title for the highest-grossing animated film in history. Due to the such high reviews, a sequel was expected. The release date and production details have not been announced.
John Lasseter and Bob Iger announced the sequel on March 12, 2015 in San Francisco at Disney’s annual shareholders meeting. Much of the cast was also there to share the news such as Josh Gad, who played Olaf. Kristen Bell, who played Anna, also tweeted about the sequel saying, “Dreams really do come 2!!!” creating a lot of hype. And, although they have announced the sequel there has been no decided plot line just yet.
Disney has been able to keep the news of a sequel quiet till now, but many people have been circulating rumors of a sequel for about a year now. Also, in November 2014 Idina Menzel, who voiced Elsa, mentioned that another movie was “in the works”.
They have been able to keep the hype up with the release of a Broadway show and the animated short “Frozen Fever”. The cast had said that they enjoyed making the animated short so much that they encouraged a sequel. They had said that they loved “being back in that world with those characters.” Many viewers are so excited for the sequel especially after seeing the seven minute short along with Cinderella.
