Kristen Bell, the voice for Anna, and Josh Gad, the voice for Olaf the Snowman, responded joyfully to the news. “Dreams really do come to!!! #FROZEN2 #itsofficial,” the former tweeted along with a picture of her smiling as she lay on a bag of ice.
Frozen collected $1.27 billion worldwide and won two Oscars for best animated film and best song for “Let It Go”.
Gad, meanwhile, posted a picture of him smiling with Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios John Lasseter. “We enjoyed making “Frozen Fever” (a short movie) so much and being back in that world with those characters,” said Lasseter in a statement. “Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck have come up with a great idea for a sequel and you will be hearing a lot more about it and we’re taking you back to Arendelle. We are so excited about that.”
