Disney Announces Plans for Fourth ‘Frozen’ Movie
It’s time to return to Arendelle once again! Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed on “Good Morning America” that the studio is working on a fourth “Frozen” movie, in addition to the previously announced “Frozen 3” which has not yet been released.
“‘Frozen 3’ is in the works, and there might be a ‘Frozen 4’ in the works too,” Iger said. “But I don’t have much to say about those films right now. [Director] Jenn Lee, who created the original ‘Frozen’ and ‘Frozen 2,’ is hard at work with her team at Disney animation on not one but actually two stories.”
Iger made the announcement from Disney’s theme park in Hong Kong, where he’s in town for the opening ceremony of “World of Frozen.” The attraction allows guests to meet Olaf, Anna, and Elsa, as well as dine at themed restaurants and walk the streets that evoke the mystical world of Arendelle.
“For years at our Disney Parks, we’ve been creating these large immersive worlds. Essentially, they are the physical embodiment of some of the greatest stories that we’ve told… And of course, ‘Frozen’ being one of our most valuable franchises, I think it’s just right for building the place that ‘Frozen’ takes place in,” Iger said.
The “Frozen” franchise has been a massive success for Disney, with the original movie and its 2019 sequel “Frozen II” becoming huge box office hits. “Frozen II” remains the biggest animated release of all time with $1.45 billion, though the original was also a blockbuster success with $1.33 billion. Both movies have also produced popular songs and a Broadway musical.
With the announcement of a fourth movie, it seems that the world of Arendelle and the adventures of Anna and Elsa are far from over. Disney fans can look forward to even more magical and musical adventures in the future.
