Frozen 3 – All the cool news as next chapter to open

It was confirmed that Frozen 3 is in pre-production. It won’t shock many after the mega success of the first two films.

Frozen 3 release date

The release date for Frozen 3 has not been announced yet, which will frustrate fans of the films.

However, based on the production timeline of Frozen 2 it would be 2027. We know it seems a long way off, for the kids and the kids instead you!

Many of the cast are expected to return for Frozen 3, though what awaits in the next chapter for Elsa and Anna is a closely guarded secret, reports Screenrant.

Frozen 3 was confirmed by Disney CEO Bob Iger himself in the Disney Q1 earnings call.

Alongside the next Frozen sequel, Iger also revealed that Toy Story and Zootopia would be getting the sequel treatment. 

“Today I’m so pleased to announce that we have sequels in the works from our animation studios to some of our most popular franchises, Toy Story, Frozen, and Zootopia. We’ll have more to share about these productions soon, but this is a great example of how we’re leaning into our unrivaled brands and franchises.” 

Mr Iger made these comments in February 2023.

Cast

There has been no official announcement, but as most of the main voices returned for the second film, one assumes that Frozen 3 will see most, if not all of the characters from the first two films.

Director

Frozen 3 will not have original director Jennifer Lee at the helm, who co-directed the first two movies with Chris Buck. Disney is seeking a new director to take over.
