It is safe to argue that Disney’s brand has undergone a revolution thanks to the Frozen films. You won’t believe this, but the first Frozen movie came out in 2013—eight years ago! Elsa and Anna, two orphaned sisters, and their adventures with love, power battles, and their sisterly relationship are followed in both Frozen and Frozen II. Disney introduced two incredibly well-developed princesses in a single series, winning over the hearts of Disney devotees of all ages. And just when you thought the soundtrack couldn’t possibly get much better, “Let It Go” and “Into the Unknown” were released, and even years later, no one has been able to shake them off.
Disney has fully monetized the adored film since its astronomically profitable debut of the Frozen movies. Disney has been nothing but smart and strategic in how they use Frozen to grow their business, from the Oscar-winning songs, products, in-park events, and new attractions based on the film in theme parks. Is producing a third movie the right course of action now? What we do know and what you would want to anticipate from a (potential) Frozen 3 are listed below.
When someone mentions Disney, it is nearly hard for them to avoid thinking of Frozen. The soon-to-be-iconic sister combo first caught the attention of the public in 2013. In the first Frozen film, sisters Anna and Else—voiced by Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel, respectively—discover the meaning of true love by falling in love with each other rather than a handsome prince. Disney fans of all ages were quick to identify the appeal of the film because to this and endearing and dynamic side characters like Olaf (Josh Gad), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), and Sven. Since then, it has only caused the animated film scene to blow up. Disney’s Frozen soundtrack was and is still one of the most well-known soundtracks in recent memory. Its 16-week run at the top of the U.S. box office and over $1 billion in revenue were made possible by the story and animation. In addition to winning the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature and two Academy Awards in 2014 for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, Frozen was unable to end the year without being acknowledged for its accomplishment.
Disney undoubtedly had a big hit with Frozen, so the pressure was on for the sequel to match the first. You could say that viewers were anticipating a sequel with an attitude of “Into the Unknown.” Frozen 2 adheres to the successful structure of the first film and places a strong emphasis on the friendship and relationship between Elsa and Anna. In the follow-up, Elsa sets out to investigate the source of her abilities after becoming inquisitive. This was the ideal opportunity to broaden their universe and raise the stakes, two things that every sequel ought to attempt to do. There is no arguing that the calibre of the animation, the cinematography, and the score all helped to make Frozen 2 nothing short of a Disney mainstay, even though the sequel did not have the same global takeover that Frozen did.
Frozen 3: What We Know So Far & What Could Come Next
It seems almost inevitable for any Disney fan to desire and anticipate a third Frozen movie given the popularity of the first two films in the series. However, any information on Frozen 3 or even the mere potential of it is pure conjecture. A third film has not been officially confirmed by Disney or any of the original actors. But there is absolutely no need to feel let down. The fact that there was a 6-year gap between the first and second films should serve as a reminder that animated film development requires patience, so hold onto hope for the time being.
Disney practically has the world at his disposal. There was no doubt that Frozen 2 had a happy and satisfying finish. Disney can essentially do whatever it wants to continue Elsa and Anna’s journey or expand on the universe they created because, like the finale of the original Frozen movie, there were no plot holes or cliffhangers left. Even though there isn’t a known plan for Frozen 3, anything is conceivable if Disney decides to develop it.
Should We ‘Let It Go’?
As has previously said, Disney is a wise business. Profiting from Frozen’s years of momentum can undoubtedly cause more harm than good. Fans of the series have been active on social media, posting fan-made trailers, edited photos, and discussions about potential storylines. Jonathan Groff, who plays Kristoff in the Frozen films, recently said that a third Frozen film is “possible” in an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, despite their being no confirmation. Additionally, Olaf, the world’s favourite talking snowman, acted as wholesome and endearing comedy relief throughout both Frozen films and taught us all that certain individuals are worth melting for. He is one of the most adored movie characters. His appeal was so great that Disney developed Once Upon A Snowman, which told the origin tale of the snowman, and Olaf Presents, a collection of shorts featuring Olaf acting out scenes from well-known Disney films. In order for us to continue singing our hearts out and laughing till our lungs hurt while waiting for fresh developments, Frozen, Frozen 2, and the Olaf shorts are all available on Disney+.
