Let it go! Let it go! Again?!
Hi, my name is Micah and I like warm hugs!
After MUCH speculation and a long game of "will they or won't they", Disney announced today, at a shareholder's meeting, that a sequel to the insanely successful movie, "Frozen", is in the works!
Not much is known at this time, but we do know that Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee will both be returning to develop the sequel, and Josh Gad will be returning in the role of Olaf.
Disney issued an official press release, which you can read below. (via Collider)
"Winter weather ahead! Frozen 2 is officially in development at Walt Disney Animation Studios with directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee and producer Peter Del Vecho, the Oscar®-winning filmmaking team behind Frozen.
The news was announced at Disney’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders this morning by Bob Iger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company; John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios; and actor Josh Gad, who provides the voice of Olaf from Frozen.
“We enjoyed making Frozen Fever so much and being back in that world with those characters,” said John Lasseter. “Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck have come up with a great idea for a sequel and you will be hearing a lot more about it and we’re taking you back to Arendelle. We are so excited about that.”
A release date and production details are yet to be announced."
Can't wait for more details to roll out? The short film, "Frozen Fever", will be shown in theaters on March 13th in front of Cinderella!
