'Frozen 2' News, Update: Directors Clueless on Follow-Up Film
Becoming Walt Disney Pictures' highest grossing animated film ever made is just one of the reasons why the 2013 hit movie "Frozen" can be considered a gigantic success for the studio.
And like the old adage says, "strike while the iron is hot," talks of a Frozen big screen sequel have been circulating on and off around the Web. Unfortunately, two people behind the beloved full-length feature admit they have no idea on what to do for a follow-up.
Co-writers and co-directors Jennifer Lee and Christopher Buck informed the publication that they haven't even found the story to tell for "Frozen 2."

"It's been in the press that we are doing [Frozen 2], and we would ask each other, 'Are we?' They'd have a date and they'd have a cast and it was like, OK," Buck said.
"It all comes down to the story … Until we find our way into what's next, emotionally, it will feel too big. We just finished the short two weeks ago. One year ago, it was a lot to even think about doing a short. We were quite tired. We don't really know what it's like to stop for a minute and think about what we want to do next," Lee joined in.
While the two may have already thrown in the towel, this doesn't necessarily mean, according to SR, that the Mouse House will also give up on such a huge potential property. It would certainly be too easy for the studio to let someone else take the challenge.
The duo said they aren't sure how to follow-up the huge success of "Frozen."
"It was the scary thing of, 'How do you follow Frozen up?' We were scared. I don't think we even began to understand what people liked about the movie… I don't think you can ever quite get your head around it. And just when you think you're starting to figure out why, you realize you have no idea," Lee said.
"Frozen" is currently being adapted to a short film titled "Frozen Fever" and a stage musical based on the movie's characters and story.
