Disney announces 'Frozen' sequel in works
Sequel to the animated mega-hit "Frozen" is in the works, Disney announced
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Note to young girls around the world: Elsa is coming back to a theater near you.
Disney Animation announced Thursday that a sequel to the animated mega-hit "Frozen" is in the works.
"Forecast: Winter weather ahead! Disney Animation developing #Frozen2," the studio said on Twitter, adding that directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee would be back for the second installment of the musical tale.
"At last, I can say - FROZEN 2!!!! I m beyond excited to create alongside my Frozen family!" Lee tweeted, along with a photo of Queen Elsa and her sister Anna -- the stars of the blockbuster Oscar-winning flick.
"Frozen" has raked in nearly $1.3 billion in worldwide ticket sales -- a record for the studio. It is also one of the top grossing films of all time.
It won two Oscars last year -- for best animated feature and best original song for the ubiquitous "Let It Go."
The film tells the story of princess Anna, who sets off on a journey to find her sister Elsa, whose hard-to-control icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.
The dynamic sisters are set to star in an animated short, "Frozen Fever", to be released with Disney s live-action feature "Cinderella" on Friday.
