One of the most popular animated films of all time was Frozen and that is without any doubt in anyone’s mind. The movie is based on a novel from 1962 and when it was produced, used Norway as an inspiration for many of the scenes in the movie. The movie has such a following that a source in Norway reported that the movie brought a 37 percent increase in tourism to the area from the United States in the first quarter of 2014.
The movie has made such an impact on popular culture and made many stars from the voice actors in the movie that fans from all over the world were expecting to see another movie released very quickly. Frozen 2 is going to be produced for sure, there are plenty of rumors and speculation on the internet that point to this fact, however, fans might have to wait a few years before it hits the big screen. According to one source, it could be 2018 before you see it in a theater near you.
The original Frozen movie was released back in 2013 and was made with a $150 million budget. That movie brought in more than $1.2 billion worldwide and that is why fans would expect to see Disney take full advantage of the popularity to make more movies and money from it. You cannot walk into any store right now and not find something that has the characters from Frozen on a product of any kind.
The movie was first put into a screenplay back in 2011, but went through many story changes until it was settled in 2013. The premiere was in November of that year and shortly after that hit all theaters nationwide bringing in more than $400 million from the United States alone. Just like any other popular movie, it brought in plenty of award nominations and took home a few as well. Frozen was nominated for Best Animated Feature, Best Original Song and won both of those categories. Nobody is going to argue that the original was a success. Now the producers, actors and actresses are going to be looking forward to the next one.
Frozen 2 is in the works according to reports and since the movie is not going to be released for a few more years, there are very few details about it that can be revealed about it. The script is reportedly in the works and some of the plot has been figured out based on the last movie. Rumors suggest that Prince Hans will be back to make things right with Elsa and Anna, which are ready to move into a new adventure against a new villain. With ice, there must be fire and that is the concept behind those that are assuming the new villain is going to be able to control it.
