Jennifer Lee "blown away" by Disney's work on Frozen 3

For the first time in a while, fans are finally getting an update on Disney's Frozen 3.

The upcoming sequel to the blockbuster animated films announced back in February, has Frozen and Frozen 2 co-director Jennifer Lee "blown away" by what she's seen so far, Lee revealed at the BFI London Film Festival this week.

“All I’ll say is that last week, they carved out time for me to work with the creative team on it. And I’m blown away,” Lee said. “I’m so excited. I don’t know what I’m doing on it yet. I might be doing nothing.” 

Lee, however, remained tight-lipped about other details including the release date and production status.

Lee is also a writer and executive producer on Wish, the story of how Disney’s wishing star came to be, directed by Chris Buck and Fawn Veerasunthorn. It features original songs by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Julia Michaels and is all set to premiere in theatres on November 22. It stars stars Ariana DeBose as Asha, a 17-year-old girl who wishes upon a star. 

Frozen 2 brought in $1.45 billion at the global box office in 2019, and the Frozen franchise has brought in $2.73 billion overall at the global box office. 

The song Into the Unknown from the pic was nominated for Best Original Song at the 2020 Oscars, while the first film won two Oscars in 2014, including Best Animated Feature and Best Song. The Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez’s anthem Let It Go was also a huge hit worldwide.
