Disney’s chief creative officer Jennifer Lee concluded the Disney Animation announcements, unveiling visual development art from musical “Frozen 3.” Created by Britney Lee, it shows Elsa on a white horse and Anna on a brown stag.
Lee wrote and co-directed with Chris Buck the best animated feature Oscar winner “Frozen,” as well as “Frozen II,” which were set around the fictional kingdom of Arendelle and featured a voice cast led by Kristen Bell as Anna, Idina Menzel as Elsa, Jonathan Groff as Kristoff and Josh Gad as the sentient snowman Olaf.
The first “Frozen” movie debuted in theaters in 2013 and was inspired by the classic fairy tale “The Snow Queen,” written by Hans Christian Anderson. It became an instant blockbuster and grossed $1.28 billion globally at the box office. It was the fifth highest-grossing movie of all time after it released, and it now stands at No. 22.
“Frozen’s” immensely catchy songs, like “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and the Oscar winner “Let It Go” that were composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, helped the soundtrack sell more than 4.1 million copies by June 2016 and nab more than 51 million streams. It also won the Oscar for best animated feature.
“Frozen 2” released in 2019 and surpassed the original by making $1.45 billion at the global box office. It’s currently the 14th highest-grossing movie worldwide, after peaking at No. 10. The sequel expanded upon the wintery world of Arendelle and introduced more magical elements, locations and creatures.
In addition to the films, the world of “Frozen” has spawned TV specials, short films, a Broadway musical, ice-skating show and much more.
