“Frozen 2” co-director Chris Buck recently revealed that they have already figured out how to end the film but they are still working on ideas on how to start it.
In a recent interview, Buck said that the important thing is that they know where they are going but admitted that they still have a lot of things to figure out.
The Oscar-winning animator, screenwriter, and director admits that it is really a challenge to further improve on perfection since “Frozen,” being the top-grossing animated film in history, is in itself a perfect movie.
He said that it’s really tough putting together a sequel for a very successful movie because of the pressure and weight of expectations that is given on him by the producers and most especially the fans.
Having had his fair share of film-making experience, Chris Buck truly understands the power of animation and how it captivates young audiences from all around the world.
Buck said that he takes the films that he makes very seriously particularly the messages and the morals that his films want to convey to its mostly young audiences. He has previously worked with various animated films including “Tarzan,” “Surf’s Up,” “The Fox and the Hound,” “Pocahontas,” and “The Little Mermaid.”
Hoping for the best on the sequel
Walt Disney officials are also hoping that the immense success of “Frozen” will trickle all the way to “Frozen 2” when it is released a few years down the road.
“Frozen” made a combined box office and home video haul of $1.6 billion worldwide and has also won two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. The catchy theme of the movie, “Let It Go” is still very popular almost 18 months after “Frozen” was released late in 2013.
Disney officially announced “Frozen 2” during a shareholders’ meeting in March and the animated film is due to hit theaters in 2018 still, details the Latin Post.
“Frozen” is a certified money-maker. It has raked in a worldwide box-office haul of $1.27 billion and another $308 million in the US alone from home entertainment.
That amount is staggering considering that the movie has been illegally downloaded 30 million times in 2014.
John Lasseter, chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, after making the official announcement about “Frozen 2” in March, also confirmed that much of the characters in the first movie will return to the sequel to be led of course by Queen Elsa and Princess Anna.
The sequel’s plot is something that millions of fans of “Frozen” the world over should really be excited about especially when they got word that most of the old characters will be back to Arendelle along with some new ones.
