Given Frozen’s huge success at the box office, and the movie’s pop culture phenomenon status around a particular song (we won’t say the title here, just in case you’re worried about earworm syndrome), it was natural that Disney would look to keep the chilly bandwagon rolling. Initially there was chatter about a sequel – which may one day show up – but for now, a short follow-up, Frozen Fever, will have to suffice. Check out the trailer for the new footage.
The plot, once more cooked up by co-directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, finds Elsa (Idina Menzel) attempting to throw a birthday party for sister Anna (Kristen Bell).
Things don’t exactly go according to plan, and part of the reason is that the title is a little more literal than expected, since the short features Elsa getting the sniffles (and Josh Gad's Olaf apparently unable to restrain himself from digging into the sweet treats on display).
Boasting a new song by Oscar-scoring duo Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Frozen Fever will arrive attached to Disney’s new live-action Cinderella, which attends the cinematic ball on March 27.
