'Frozen 2' Full-Length Movie Set to Be Released After Disney Gives Green Light

Disney Studios has officially announced that it is developing a sequel to the successful animated movie "Frozen." The announcement was made during a recent shareholders meeting by John Lasseter, Disney and Pixar's chief creative officer, Disney Chairman Bob Iger and Josh Gad, who voiced the lovable character of Olaf in the movie.

According to Variety, the announcement was very much expected after the first movie became one of the highest-grossing animated films in history, earning $1.3 billion in the box office in 2013 and said to have "helped reinvigorate" Walt Disney Animation Studios. The merchandise developed after the movie continues to earn millions for Disney to this day.

"Frozen 2" will see the directors of the first film, Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, coming back to direct. Disney Producer Peter Del Vecho is working with the duo to develop the project.

Although Disney has not confirmed casting except for Josh Gad, who made the announcement with Disney's big bosses, some reports are saying that both Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel will surely reprise their roles as Anna and Elsa respectively. Both actresses returned in the short sequel of sorts, "Frozen Fever."

A report in Telegraph also says that Elsa and Anna will likely sport new dresses, which will be a good thing for merchandise sales. When "Frozen" came out, what followed was a frenzy for "Frozen" dolls and other retail merchandise.

No plot details have been revealed, but the Telegraph report bravely made some predictions about the sequel. One of these is that Disney needs to outdo itself if it wants the sequel to be as successful as or more successful than the first.

The first film produced a musical success with the song "Let It Go." It is unclear whether the sequel will involve Robert and Kristen Lopez, the composers from the first film. Another prediction is about Olaf's love life. The report says that the sequel may have Olaf finding a "snow soulmate."

The announcement about the sequel comes after the recent release of "Frozen Fever," which is being shown with the live-action adaptation of "Cinderella," which opened in theaters this past weekend.
