Well, the new Frozen movie is about to head “Into the Unknown.”

We were surprised — and thrilled — when Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that there would be a Frozen 3. We weren’t the only ones surprised; the Frozen and Frozen 2 songwriters only learned about it JUST before we did. We don’t really know a lot about the story of the new movie, but we do know one thing — a NEW director will be helming the film.
According to The Wrap, Frozen and Frozen 2 director Jennifer Lee will not be returning to direct the third movie in the Frozen franchise. However, she will remain involved with the film in some way in some kind of advisory or mentor role.

She said, “I can’t say where we are [with Frozen 3]. All our stories are driven by the artists in the studio. Where we’re going with Frozen did not come from me. It came from an incredible person. That’s a new piece, I’ve told no one. And I’ve been blown away by it and I’m just having a blast with that team.”

Lee said, “I’m doing what I do with all the other projects. It’s really fun on Frozen,…cause we’ve lived the world for awhile together and a lot of the artists in the studio grew up with that film too, both of them, and have been there the whole way…They kinda own them as much as anyone else.”

However, Frozen and Frozen 2 songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez will be returning for the third movie. “It got us very excited,” Kristen said. “Now, we have to let the wheels of Hollywood do what they do, but we were very excited with their ideas.”
In the meantime, a new Frozen-themed land will be opening at Hong Kong Disneyland in November 2023, while Disneyland Paris AND Tokyo DisneySea will be opening their own Frozen lands after that.
