The thin plot didn't hold up to scrutiny, and even the songs didn't live up to the ubiquitous "Let It Go." Despite this, Frozen 2 went on to make $1.450 billion worldwide, compared to the $1.280 billion of the first movie.
Frozen 2, released in 2019, generated US$1.325 billion at the global box office, pushing past the original and Incredibles 2 to become the highest grossing animated movie in history.
On February 8, 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that Frozen 3 is in the works, along with Toy Story 5 and Zootopia 2. While news of a third Frozen film was a welcome one, we have yet to hear more details about the movie or see a trailer. Here's everything we know about Frozen 3.
Frozen 2 dives deeper into the lore of Arendelle and Elsa's powers. We get a better understanding of the world that our protagonists live in, which is something that the first movie lacked. We also get a deep dive into Elsa's powers, how and why they exist, and why they exist within her.
Frozen II grossed $477.4 million in the United States and Canada and $976.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.453 billion. It was the third-highest-grossing film of 2019, the tenth-highest-grossing film of all time, and the second-highest-grossing animated film of all time.
Honeymaren, a member of the Northuldra tribe who was trapped in the Enchanted Forest by the curse, could return for Frozen 3 as Elsa's girlfriend based on the two characters' shared chemistry.
There hasn't been any indication that Elsa will have a girlfriend in Frozen III. That said, some fans have theorized that Honeymaren, a member of the Northuldra tribe, will be Elsa's girlfriend in the next Frozen film. Honeymaren was introduced in Frozen II as a resident of the Enchanted Forest.
The rest of the movie doesn't fare quite as well. It doesn't pick up from any obvious ideas in Frozen for how to build the sequel. Frozen 2 tells a more ambitious story, going away from a traditional Disney movie structure to go after something bigger and more complicated.
The studio reports Frozen 2 is now the highest grossing animated release globally of all time with estimated earnings at $1.325 billion, beating records set by its predecessor Frozen ($1.281 billion) and Incredibles 2 ($1.243 billion).
It's because of the story and characters, coupled with the fantastic animation that bring those things to life, that Tangled IS the better film of the two. Though the box office may disagree, Tangled is more complete from a film-making standpoint.
Frozen 2 went through several changes during its development process, including removing a disturbing feature from one character. In Disney's Art of Frozen 2, the filmmakers note that creating the Wind Spirit was an interesting challenge for the movie.
"Frozen II" is the highest-grossing animated movie with a lifetime worldwide earning of $1.45 billion. The $150 thousand-budget Disney film is the 2019 sequel to "Frozen," which follows Princess Anna and her sister Queen Elsa, whose ice powers place their kingdom in perpetual winter.
Frozen 2 picks up a few years after the first movie, with Anna and Elsa living happily in Arendelle. After Elsa hears the call of the "unknown,", she and Anna explore the wider world to find out the source of Elsa's spiritual powers.
Although Elsa's disability is encoded as a magical ice power, the language the film uses to talk about her condition maps on to the experiences of people with physical, mental, and intellectual disabilities in recognizable ways.
These two characters are just being themselves. Unlike traditional love tropes, Anna and Kristoff are not getting married at the end of the show. Rather, it is the start of their relationship.
Elysium is the first daughter of Elsa and Jack Frost, protagonists in Frozen and Rise of the Guardians. She is also a Princess of Arendelle and Junior Guardian of Winter. She is the older sister to Elise and is the first heir to the Throne of Arendelle.
However, the filmmakers were willing to say one thing definitively: "Elsa's not going to have a romantic relationship in this," writer-director Jennifer Lee told a group of journalists gathered at Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Olaf. Created from Elsa's magical powers, Olaf is by far the friendliest snowman in Arendelle. He is innocent, outgoing and loves all things summer. Olaf may be a bit naive, but his sincerity and good-natured temperament make him a true friend to Anna and Elsa.
The film covers deep and heavy topics unknown to Disney princess films. The first Frozen broke the Disney formula by sharing “true love” doesn't need to be romantic. The second film addresses loss, grief, depression, and how to find hope and personal growth through life's uncertainties.
Olaf appears in the sequel Frozen II, where he no longer needs a permanent snow flurry, as he is now made of permafrost, and enjoys being able to freely bask in the sun year-round. Now three years old, Olaf is slightly more intelligent and mature.
Disney confirms Frozen 3 is in pre-production after the success of Frozen 2 at the box office. The next chapter for Elsa and Anna's story is a secret. Frozen 3 will continue the story from where Frozen 2 left off, potentially exploring new directions and introducing new characters.
