'Frozen 2' Spoilers: Plot Will Reflect Real Social Issues
The upcoming sequel of the successful animated film "Frozen" is expected to take on some social issues.
After the success of "Frozen," the creators of the film saw their responsibility to create a substantial story, knowing that their message has the power to influence people of all ages. Chris Buck, one of the film's directors, explained that he was surprised at the amount of positive feedback he received from "Frozen."
With that, he understood that filmmaking can be a medium for change, creating statements that society needs to hear. This means that the upcoming "Frozen 2" is expected to put the two strong female characters, Anna, played by Kristen Bell, and Elsa, played by Idina Menzel, in a situation that reflects the culture nowadays.
According to MTV, Buck stated, "I think we're very aware of what is happening in society. I don't think any of us take [them] lightly, even though they can be very funny and entertaining, the messages that our movies have and the influence they can have on young people. When the kids [watch] them, they watch them over and over again, and if we don't have a decent message in there, I think we've missed an opportunity."
Along with Bell and Menzel, it was reported that Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad will also be reprising their roles in the upcoming film. Apart from that, there has yet to be any details regarding the plot of the film. However, there have been many speculations regarding what the characters could be facing in the upcoming sequel.
One of the most prominent rumors regarding the story line is that Anna will also be revealing her own superpower. This was speculated because of how she was saved in the previous installment. However, none of these theories have been confirmed.
"Frozen 2" is slated to premiere in theaters in 2018.
