Disney has officially announced development of Frozen 2 with Frozen directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee returning to develop the feature and Josh Gad already confirmed to return as the voice of Olaf. The news is relatively limited at this time, actually, as no story or release date plans were announced.
The news comes only days after Buck and Lee were quoted by BuzzFeed saying they only completed the short film Frozen Fever, which plays in front of Cinderella this weekend and don’t even know what it’s “like to stop for a minute and think about what we want to do next.”
It all comes down to the story. Like with the short, it was so daunting until we found the story. Then it was all of the things it usually is and we were thinking of every emotion and moment and feeling. I think that’s all we can do. Until we find our way into what’s next, emotionally, it will feel too big. We just finished the short two weeks ago. One year ago, it was a lot to even think about doing a short. We were quite tired. We don’t really know what it’s like to stop for a minute and think about what we want to do next.
To judge by those quotes it would almost seem the movie wasn’t happening, but clearly they were playing coy.
