Yes, it’s safe to say that we’re very excited for the long-awaited release of the sequel to Disney-Pixar’s 2013 hit, “Frozen.” The wintry adventure was a smash hit — the highest-grossing animated film ever, not to mention the 13th biggest movie of all time, according to Variety — and it’s not like Disney to sleep on a guaranteed cash cow (or cash reindeer.)
Finally, there’s a teaser trailer and a premiere date, November 22, 2019. The geniuses behind “Let It Go,” husband and wife team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez are back, as is director-writer Jennifer Lee. But don’t be fooled. Our friends in Arendelle still haven’t recorded voice acting or likely finalized much — according to Variety, Lee is still in talks with actors Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K Brown to play voice parts. The trailer, conspicuously, has no voice acting or solo singing — just a choral moment.
Hurry up, “Frozen II”! In the time we’ve been waiting for you to arrive, that ocean Elsa tries to run across has risen significantly.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
