Frozen II is an American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released in the U.S. on November 22, 2019, as the sequel to Frozen (2013). Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, it stars the voices of Kristen Bell (pictured), Idina Menzel, Josh Gad, and Jonathan Groff. It follows sisters Anna (played by Bell) and Elsa (Menzel), and their companions, Kristoff and his reindeer Sven (both Groff) and Olaf (Gad), as they travel to an enchanted forest to unravel the origin of Elsa's magical power. The film's animation technology, involving an interdepartmental collaboration, was more complex than that in Frozen. Frozen II was translated into 46 languages and was accompanied by Into the Unknown: Making Frozen II, a documentary series. It was the third-highest-grossing film of 2019 worldwide, at $1.453 billion. Critics generally reviewed the film positively, and it was nominated for Best Original Song at the 92nd Academy Awards, among numerous other accolades. (Full article...)
