UPDATED: New Frozen Posters Give Us a Look at its Main Characters


Argentinian movie blog Cine 1 has got three cool (pun intended) new posters for Disney's next animated film, Frozen. The posters are nice and hi-res, but un-nice and scrawled with the site's logo (though a great poster resource, Cine 1 are notorious for watermarking everything).

In addition to the nice title poster above, Cine 1 have two posters which show off the sisters at the heart of Frozen: Anna and Elsa (both below). At the time of writing, Cine 1 has just taken the posters off their site (Disney is apparently emailing round getting people to take them down, so check them out while you can).

More Details on Disney's Frozen



Walt Disney Animation Studios announced (via ComingSoon.net earlier today some more details about their 2013 animated release, Frozen. We heard a while back that Frozen was the new title for the Disney adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, and that it was due on 27th November, 2013 (the date previously scheduled for Bob Peterson's The Good Dinosaur), this latest release though just cites November 2013 - no specific date is mentioned.

The computer-animated "epic tale of adventure and comedy" is directed  by Chris Buck (Tarzan, Surf's Up) and produced by Peter Del Vecho (Winnie the Pooh, The Princess and the Frog). Frozen features the vocal talent of Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) as Anna, "a young dreamer about to take the adventure of a lifetime", and Tony Award winning actress, Idina Menzel (Broadway's Wicked, TV's Glee), as Elsa the, formerly titular, Snow Queen.

Original songs for the film are being created by Broadway's Robert Lopez (The Book of Mormon) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (who's working on songs for a stage-adaptation of Pixar's Finding Nemo), and the synopsis for the film reads:

In “Frozen,” a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, so Anna (voice of Bell) must team up with Kristoff, a daring mountain man, on the grandest of journeys to find the Snow Queen (voice of Menzel) and put an end to the icy spell. Encountering Everest-like extremes, mystical creatures and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.

Frozen seems like a more traditional film for Disney - going down the princess and musical route again - and a million miles away from Wreck-It Ralph. That said, it worked phenomenally well for Tangled, and it does look to provide some great range (both with its setting and premise), following the more Pixar-esque Wreck-It Ralph late this year.

Can't wait to hear more about this as we progress!

Disney's Snow Queen Now Titled Frozen - Pixar's Dinosaur Film Bumped Off Release Date


Disney recently unveiled the title for their November 2013 release, Frozen. This caused some confusion on Twitter yesterday, as the Novemeber 27, 2013 release date touted for Frozen is the very one that we had been told Up co-director Bob Peterson's Untitled Dinosaur Film would be released on. This in turn led to several reports that that film was now called Frozen; however, courtesy of /Film, we now know that that's not true.

/Film tells us that Frozen is the new name for Disney's The Snow Queen, the adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, a film which has been circling around Disney for years, being on and off the shelf time and time again. Speaking of on the shelf, this now means that The Untitled Pixar Movie About Dinosaurs has been bumped off its release date. This presumably means that we'll be seeing the film around 2014 - when The Untitled Pixar Movie That Takes You Inside The Mind is due out.

Whilst this means we'll have to wait slightly longer to see another Pixar film, it means The Snow Queen is finally back on track - for now.
