“Frozen 2” is still years away from its release date, but rumors and speculations about the sequel to the most successful animated movie of all time have become sort of staple food on the internet with practically daily doses about it.
There have been plenty of interesting rumored plotlines and cast members to “Frozen 2” as much as there are also absurd theories.
Since Disney or its co-writers and co-directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee have yet to confirm much of the rumors that have been swirling pretty wildly on the internet, information should be taken with a pinch of salt, just to be on the safe side.
However, one thing is certain at this time is that the movie will become a platform to send out a strong and good message to its viewers, who will be comprised mostly of children.
Chris Buck confirmed it during a recent interview. He said that he realized that what they do at Disney is very important. So he and Jennifer Lee want to make viewers laugh, cry, and feel as well as give them hope when they watch “Frozen 2,” notes Movie News Guide.
He said that he believes that it is precisely the reason why he has been entrusted with the task of doing a movie because he takes his work very seriously and more importantly, the messages and the morals that he and Jennifer have been trying to convey.
A funnier Queen Elsa
“Frozen” has always been the story of sisters Queen Elsa and Princess Anna of Arrendelle. While Princess Anna may be the bubbly, adventurous, and comical sister, Queen Elsa appears to be the more straight-forward, stern, and serious between the two.
However, if latest reports are to be believed about “Frozen 2,” Queen Elsa shall apparently come out of her shell and show her lighter and funnier side.
The reports were actually based on the recent statement made by co-director Chris Buck who said that fans should expect a different side of Elsa in the sequel. Accordingly, the Queen shall be a doting and fun sister that she showed a glimpse of during the short film “Frozen Fever” released in March this year.
In the first movie, Queen Elsa had to undergo a personal dramatic journey. Towards the end, she eventually felt that she can open up and have some fun in her life again, cites Buck.
Chris Buck added that he and co-director Jennifer Lee had fun with Queen Elsa’s mini-transformation in “Frozen Fever” and fans should expect more of such personality in “Frozen 2.”
The origin of Elsa’s powers
Based on most reports, “Frozen 2” will feature the backstory of Elsa and Anna. It will touch on how the young Princess Elsa was able to obtain her powers and how her parents became aware of it, which was not explained in “Frozen.”
It can be recalled that in the first film, the King of Arrendelle told the leader of the trolls that Elsa was born with her ice powers and was not cursed by it.
It seems that the backstory report is on target since the actress who voiced the young Elsa in “Frozen” has been confirmed to return to “Frozen 2,” which is scheduled to hit theaters worldwide sometime in 2018.
In addition to teasing about the backstory and transformation of Queen Elsa in “Frozen 2,” Chris Buck also assured fans of the franchise that the ending of the movie will really be terrific.
On the rumors about Princess Anna having her own powers, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, in an interview, said that Anna’s superpower, as shown in the first movie, is love, alluding that reports on the younger sibling’s ability may not be accurate after all. They added that Anna saves the day in “Frozen” with love.
