Frozen

Frozen is an upcoming Walt Disney Animation Studios film, set to be released November 27, 2013. Frozen is an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen 's fairytale ''The Snow Queen. This would be WDFA's second Andersen-inspired feature, the first being The Little Mermaid. ''

On March 5, 2012, author Eric Eisenburg reported the original details about Frozen: "The story is based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen and is about an evil queen who kidnaps a young boy named Kai. Following his disappearance, a young girl named Gerda goes on an adventure to save him." The film is being directed by Chris Buck, who previously co-directed both Surf's Up - the animated film about surfing penguins - and 1999's Tarzan. Much like many of Disney's recent animated films, the project is being overseen by Pixar chief John Lasseter and Peter Del Vecho and will be done using computer generated animation. Eisenberg also reports that Kristen Bell will provide her voice in the film as the lead character.

On June 11, 2012, a new story plot was given by The Walt Disney Animation Studios: Frozen chronicles “a prophecy trapping a kingdom in eternal winter. Anna (Bell) must team up with Kristoff, a daring mountain man, on the grandest of journeys to find the Snow Queen (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.”

Broadway songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who previously wrote songs for the 2011 film Winnie the Pooh, have been confirmed to write original songs for the film.
