It’s the sort of news that might make you bellow “well, of course it is!”, but given that Disney has yet to make any sort of official announcement about a sequel to Frozen, we suppose the word of the woman who voiced Elsa is something. According to Idina Menzel, the Mouse House really does have a sequel to the mammoth hit in development.
So far, the company has largely used the property to spin off lines of merchandise, is bringing out a short film based on the characters, has a musical stage version in the works and loaned Elsa, Anna and some of the others to US TV drama Once Upon A Time, which uses Disney fairy-tale characters for modern-day drama.
But with the movie making more than $1.27 billion worldwide, there has still been no real word on a sequel, with John Lasseter and Ed Catmull’s team and Disney Feature Animation instead focusing on original films – Big Hero 6, which has been a success in the States so far, arrives here on January 30, while 2016 will bring Zootopia and **Moana, so we wouldn’t expect to see any frosty feature-length follow-up until 2017 at the earliest.
