Grandparents Are Going Crazy After Disney’s Big Announcement

Tags:

Hey Frozen fans, are you sitting down for this? Actress Kristen Bell just tweeted a bombshell about the Disney movie that has grandparents cheering.

Ready for it? Well, Frozen 2 finally has a release date! The sequel to the 2013 hit movie is due to reach theaters on Nov. 27, 2019—just in time for Thanksgiving. We can’t think of another family-friendly activity we’d rather do after stuffing our bellies with turkey.

Even though the highly anticipated follow-up won’t be out for almost a year-and-a-half, Bell, 36, is ecstatic to be reprising her role as Anna.

The star tweeted: “Quick weather forecast from your favorite disney princess’ sister: Theaters are gonna get Frozen on November 27, 2019! Woo Hoo!!!!”

Disney also confirmed the fall release date in a tweet they posted along with a very excited Olaf.

More good news for Frozen fans? Broadway actress Idina Menzel will also return for the next movie. Menzel, 45, who voiced Anna’s older sister, Elsa, tweeted about Disney’s announcement, saying, “It’s happening! All my Elsas say ho!”

Since Disney released the original film, Frozen has amassed an astounding $400 million dollars at the box office in the U.S. alone. To capitalize on the film’s success and, perhaps, to please fans who have patiently waited for a sequel, Disney announced Frozen would make its way to the stage and appear on Broadway as a musical in 2017.

Disney hasn’t released any further details about the upcoming release except to say that Frozen 2 would also be available in 3D. According to the studio’s release schedule, Frozen 2 comes on the heels of a Mary Poppins reboot called Mary Poppins Returns. Disney is also releasing another movie in the Toy Story franchise in 2019.

Parents and grandparents everywhere—be prepared to listen to your kiddos sing Frozen 2‘s follow-up to “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?”
