Disney Officially Greenlights 'Frozen 2'
by Andy Neuenschwander
Just when you had finally gotten "Let It Go" out of your head, there's this news: Disney has greenlit "Frozen 2."
There will officially be a sequel to 2013's hit animated film, as reported by Variety. The announcement was reportedly made during the Walt Disney Company's annual shareholders meeting early Thursday.
According to reports, Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck will return to direct the film. We have to assume as well that songwriting duo Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez will also return to compose the music, considering their massive success the first time around.
That the company would move forward with a sequel is no surprise: "Frozen" earned more than $1 billion globally at the box office, and has sold more in merchandise than any other Disney film in recent history. Disney parks have also recently opened Frozen-themed attractions.
The announcement also comes one day before the release of a new "Frozen" short film, titled "Frozen Fever." The short is set to premiere on March 13th. Check out the trailer below:
