Disney Finally Announces a 'Frozen' Sequel


This weekend fans of Disney's Frozen will get to revisit Elsa and Anna as part of the short film, Frozen Fever, which plays ahead of Cinderella. But that's not the follow-up lovers of Disney's $1.3B-grossing hit really want, and after months of rumors a sequel has finally been announced.

At today's Disney shareholder meeting, Bob Iger made Frozen 2 official but failed to go into specifics. So we don't have a release date or even a confirmation on the voice cast, although it can be expected that Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Joshh Gad, and Jonathan Groff will be back just as they were for Frozen Fever. Co-directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck will be involved but Iger didn't necessarily say they would be directing.

Frozen easily won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature last year, and chances are the sequel will be a frontrunner to take one, too.
