Frozen 2 is on its way, according to Idina Menzel, the star who voices Elsa.
After months of speculation about a sequel to the Disney hit, Menzel appeared to confirm that a second feature-length film is planned.

Asked in a Telegraph interview what she could say about rumours of a sequel and a stage musical - in addition to a six-minute short due to show in cinemas this Christmas - Menzel said: “That they’re all in the works."

This is kinda unusual considering that most Disney film sequels have been direct to video and not been released to theaters.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Of course it is.

That's money on the table.

I thought Lasseter said the direct to video era was over with?

let it go

I hate when articles do this crap

 

[Byakuya769]

let it go

Hahahah.

 

[rekameohs]

I don't want to build a snowman! God, stop asking me!!

 

[Lazyslob]

i hope you are all happy

 

[Deleted member 102481]

I mean it grossed 1 billion do you not expect FROZEN 2

Well anyway I consider the crap going on "ONCE UPON A TIME" Frozen 2 anyway

 

[FelixOrion]

No brainer if true. Frozen was a smash for Disney, they're gonna milk this for all its worth.

 

[DrForester]

Where can you possibly go with the story? The first movie was a mess, plot wise, but at least it didn't tease a sequel.

I guess the positive is that the sequel will likely focus more on Elsa, and not Anna.

Umm, Planes says no.

 

[Anth0ny]

Shocking. Frozen was/is the biggest thing ever.

 

[studyguy]

There have been tons of sequels to Disney films.
Most of which have been straight to DVD/VHS

 

[EulaCapra]

Elsa and Anna meet the Snow Queen please. And not the Once Upon a Time version where she's their aunt either.

 

[Fiktion]

Nooooooooooooooo.

 

[Akahige]

“Not the stage show – I don’t know what will happen with that – but the movie hopefully. We’ll see. I’m just going along for the ride,”

Yeah that is a confirmation.

 

[Xpike]

What? This seems really weird, Disney has never made a threatical sequel to one of their animated features except Winnie the Pooh and The Rescuers. Especially since Frozen ended pretty great.

 

[rekameohs]

There have also been tons of Disney films that grossed less money than Frozen.

Oh wait, that's all of them.

 

[JaseC]

Umm, Planes says no.

"Most", not "all". One example to the contrary isn't much of a counter-point.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Frozen 2: Even Colder

 

[Dr. Malik]

just do the Snow Queen plot like in OUAT

 

[Zeyphersan]

Of course.

You don't say no to another billion dollars

Also, count me in!

 

[sn00zer]

No shit

 

[Shaanyboi]

as if anyone is shocked

 

[Gibbo]

I usually balk at the idea of sequels for animated movies- but How to Train your Dragon 2 has proven me wrong

 

[Hero of Legend]

Yeah this is the first true sequel by the Feature Animation department since Rescuers Down Under, yeah they did Pooh but that was... weird, hell the original Pooh was made as shorts, not a feature film.

So where the fuck were they when Lion King killed it and they left the sequel to Disney Toon Studios? Yeah I'm not downplaying their post TLK movies like Hunchback, Hercules, and the like, but FUCK The Lion King is my all-time fav film and it's sad that it didn't get the sequel it truly deserved. Even if I do like TLK2 and to a lesser extent 1 1/2.

 

[googleplex]

Movie made a billion dollars. Of course it's getting a sequel.

 

[Chao]

I'm in Tokio at the moment, and the first thing I saw when I switched on the hotel TV was a Toyota (I think it was Toyota) commercial with "Let it go" as the background music.

There's Frozen merchandise everywhere you go here (that and youkai watch of course)
It is THAT big.

 

[Not]

Hope it doesn't become cool (harharhar whoops) to hate on Frozen. While not a great movie, it's definitely a good one.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

No shit.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Hope it doesn't become cool (harharhar whoops) to hate on Frozen. While not a great movie, it's definitely a good one.

Where have you been since like.... its release?

 

[Valhelm]

Why? I understand that it would make money, but there's no need for a sequel.

 

[DrForester]

I didn't hate it. I just thought it was very sloppy. Especially compared to Disney's previous two films. "Wreck it Ralph" was amazing, and "Tangled" is all around a better film than Frozen.

 

[Forkball]

Disney is going to turn Frozen into a cinematic universe.

Frozen
Olaf: The First Snowman
Frozen 2: Age of Elsa
Kristoff: The Winter Soldier
Frozen 3 Part I: The Cold War

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Why? I understand that it would make money, but there's no need for a sequel.

You've answered your own question.

I personally don't understand the hoopla over the movie. It's like there is some type of Illuminati message encoded into it that zaps the minds of people.

Spoiler

Or everyone is secretly thinking about Elsa and Anna naked. Either one is equally plausible to me

 

[Monocle]

I'm down with this if they somehow manage to come up with a decent plot.

Where can you possibly go with the story? The first movie was a mess, plot wise, but at least it didn't tease a sequel.

Elsa has to repel an invasion by the Fire Nation.

Hope it doesn't become cool (harharhar whoops) to hate on Frozen. While not a great movie, it's definitely a good one.

The backlash is already strong. It's popular so it sucks or something. But whatever, great film.

Frozen 2: Global Meltdown

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I guess they have to since it'll print money. I hope it's not shoddy. I was pretty satisfied with the ending.

 

[Not]

I mean, I liked all of those movies better, and now Big Hero 6 is my fave of the four (even with the minor plot issues that has)

Frozen still should get a pass IMO

 

[Deleted member 102481]

Once Upon a time is basically frozen 2 right now people

 

[royalan]

Carry On! Carry Onnnnn!
Milk the ever-living-crud out of Thhhhiiiiiiissss!

Carry On! Carry Onnnnn!
Don't let it go for Shhiiiiittt!

 

[LycanXIII]

Oh, I know that, but with Planes starting off as a DVD Movie, I wouldn't be surprised to see more lower quality sequels getting released in theaters.

 

[CronoShot]

1. It's Disney
2. It's the highest grossing animated film ever

No shit there's gonna be a sequel.

 

[Not]

Once Upon a time is basically frozen 2 right now people

did Once Upon A Time cross a billion worldwide again though

 

[FLAguy954]

How to Train your Dragon 2 wasa Dreamworks movie, and Dreamworks simply makes better animated movies (in the past 12 years anyways).

 

[HeelPower]

Would love disney to try making adult themed movies like Pocahontas and Hunchback in 3D.


Probably highly unlikely since these movies aren't generally beloved by the average Disney viewer...

 

[mr stroke]

All the Pixar movies?

Pixar is distinctly separate from Disney Feature Animation.
