After its debut in Latin America at the beginning of 2014, Frozen became the most viewed Disney animated film on this side of the planet and remains the most grossing of all time at the global level. The whole world was enchanted with the songs and characters of this history in key of musical, becoming a phenomenon that remains in force. Now Disney prepares a sequel to debut in theaters at the end of the year and today launched the new trailer, along with some promotional images. The official synopsis anticipates a journey in which Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf must delve into the woods beyond Arendelle to discover the truth about an ancient mystery of the kingdom. The tone of the film will be even more epic than its predecessor and there will be new characters that add up to the ones we already know.
The original cast of Voices returns for the second part of this adventure, with Idina Menzel as Elsa, Kristen Bell as Anna and Josh Gad as Olaf, the anthropomorphic snowman. Kristoff and Sven will also accompany the sisters in their journey and there are already confirmed at least two new characters, with the voices of Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld) and Sterling K. Brown (This is Us). Although there is still no official information about them and not even the names were revealed, the fans are already speculating with a possible romantic interest for Elsa. The famous main song of Frozen, ‘ Libre Soy ‘ (Let it go in its original language) was interpreted by many as a statement that Elsa would be the first gay Disney princess (Better said, Queen). Director Chris Buck recently said that his character will enjoy the freedom he found in the first film, fueling fans ‘ hopes.
She had to go through such a dramatic journey, so she could begin to feel that she can open up and have fun again. That was the really good thing about the short: we could have fun with Elsa. And that personality… It will be reflected in the next one.
It refers to one of the two shorts released by Disney after the success of the first film, titled ‘ Frozen Fever ‘. In this eight-minute story, Elsa prepares a birthday party for Anna along with her friends, and she sees her more loose and confident than in the feature film that starred her. But the tone of this short was more cheerful and even comical, while the trailer of the new movie looks darker and more dramatic.
The short frozen: Frozen Fever was released in the cinemas along with the live-action of Cinderella directed by Kenneth Branagh on 2015
Until now, we had been able to see Elsa at the seashore, practicing her powers or trying to escape. It is not very clear what is the context in which it uses its magic to create large platforms of ice on the waves and running up, but we see it fail and try again and again. In the new trailer comes a new detail: a water horse formed by magic under the sea. We also know from the new trailer that the trolls are back, and warn the sisters that ‘ the past is not what it seems ‘. Both will head north accompanied by their friends to find out more about this mystery, where there seems to be a new form of magic. The forests burned around the soldiers of Arendelle and the words of the troll can only indicate one thing: that the powers of Elsa have its opposite.
In the first trailer we saw an unknown character in the Woods, a girl who woke up the questions of the fans and could be the key to this new mystery. Also appeared a new form of magic created by Elsa around Arendelle: Some brilliant rhombuses for which Anna looks very worried. We know that the sisters are parting somewhere along the way and everything seems to indicate that they must face new threats.
The two directors of the first film, Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, will be in charge of this delivery again. Having won the Oscar for best animated film in 2014, this time they add the writer Allison Schroeder (hidden figures) to the creative team. The couple responsible for the music of Frozen, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, also took the Oscar to best Original song by the popular central theme ‘ Let it Go ‘ and will return with the composer Christophe Beck to create the music of this sequel.

It has already been confirmed that there will be at least four new songs and director Jennifer Lee said that one of them is like an evolution of ‘ free Soy ‘, giving the pattern that Disney has another hits in hand.
It could be a duet between the sisters. They shared very few scenes in the first film, so I feel that deepening the development of that relationship has to be the way forward.
The actress Kristen Bell, who finished recording as the voice of Princess Anna, said that Disney is taking its time to perform this sequel because they want to handle it carefully. The idea of the creative team is that this continuation is as important and significant as the first, which broke several paradigms reinforced by the same study over decades of successful animated films.
Frozen 2 ‘s screenplay is expected to delve deeper into the fraternal relationship between Anna and Elsa
The exciting thing is that it seems based on the first film. You understand things better in the original after having seen the sequel.
The producer Peter of the Vecho confirmed the statements of Bell, saying that the sequel will explain retroactively some parts of the first film that left the fans with many doubts about the universe of Frozen. This could mean that we will finally know where Elsa’s powers come from, how the magic of the trolls works, or why Olaf has consciousness.

Frozen 2 premieres in the United States on November 22 and its premiere in Argentina is scheduled for December 5, although it could be anticipated. In this note:
