I'm not impressed with Anna's and Olaf's songs, especially Olaf's. So far the soundtrack appears to be worse than the first film's.

No offense, but that trailer has already been posted.

New stills and details about three of the songs (from this article):



SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE – In “Frozen 2,” Anna’s positive spirit is reflected in a song she begins in an effort to assuage Olaf’s uncertainty about the ever-evolving world around him. The song, “Some Things Never Change,”—which features Anna, Olaf, Elsa and Kristoff —introduces the idea of change to the story, and despite its title, it’s also a promise that change is on the horizon.



INTO THE UNKNOWN – In “Frozen 2,” Elsa feels that she’s being beckoned by a voice from far away, a calling she can’t ignore showcased in the original song “Into the Unknown.” She learns that answers await her—but she must venture far from home.



WHEN I AM OLDER – When Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf find themselves in the enchanted forest in “Frozen 2,” Olaf faces a series of inexplicable events, illustrated in the song “When I Am Older.” Despite the mystery and dangerous realities coming to life before his eyes, the lovable snowman is convinced that one day, it’ll all make sense.

I'm not impressed with Anna's and Olaf's songs, especially Olaf's. So far the soundtrack appears to be worse than the first film's.

To be fair, "In Summer" wasn't good either and pretty much on par with "When I Am Older". The biggest disappointment for me is Anna's new song. "For the First Time in Forever" was great whereas this one not so much, at least going by the snippet. I think it's premature to write off the soundtrack with so many songs we have yet to hear. I'm particularly eager to hear the duet between Elsa and her mom, Kristoff's song, and the full version of Iduna's lullaby in the end credits.

Yes, you're right. At least there isn't any song for the trolls.

[disneyprincess11]

Why are people judging The Next Right Thing? We literally have only heard three sentences of the song, which are the first couple of notes. We have at least heard a verse of When I'm Older and already most of Into the Unknown. I looooove ITUK! It's gorgeous, but I do have a bad feeling that it'll the strongest and most, if not only, memorable song. Like AGLY, WIO isn't a bad song per say. It's just......why? Do we need a silly song in a serious movie? In Summer made sense because it was Olaf's introductory song. WIO may be character development esepecially if Olaf becomes eternal with Elsa and a nice tie in to STNC, but for now it's just filler.

I can't say if the first one is the stronger soundtrack, but the thing is we learned all about these characters six years ago and the songs were the window to the characters and their minds. The songs here are focused much more on the story, which is clearly a lot more serious here, since we already know who they are. So of course, the songs from the first one has a bigger advantange.

Why are Elsa and Anna are about to go "into the unknown", but then Kristof, Olaf and Sven are there the next shot?

[Sotiris]

Elsa is Jesus!

“The mythic story is a tragic story and it’s about a sort of superhuman character, someone with special powers who carries our sins and our flaws and our mistakes for us and then usually has a tragic fate,” Lee said.

Well, that was just a rumor. It was never officially confirmed.

Thank you, God! I can’t stand Demi Lovato’s voice. I still wish they’d got Ariana--or so many other people, really--for the first film’s end credits. I love Brendon Urie, and love love love Kacey Musgraves!!! So happy with those choices.

I'm not listening to song snippets and not seeking out spoilers, although I doubt seeing crumbs dropped will ruin it for me. For me, spoilers make things more fun wondering how the story events will be shown onscreen. What I've seen posted here, I'm not really surprised by Elsa and Anna separating at the end. And I could see Arendelle being in trouble in a third film, because they no longer have a powerhouse like Elsa to scare off people who resent them for what happened in the first film. No doubt Elsa would come back to rescue them. I'm not sure if I'd want to see Hans as the chief villain in that scenario though... Maybe as an underling to one of his older, more intimidating brothers? Hopefully he would die at the end of the third film if they went with a story like that one.

Even though I would have liked duets between Elsa & Anna and Kristoff & Anna, I still expect this to be the best soundtrack of the Disney revival after the first Frozen's soundtrack. *shrug* I imagine any weaknesses it could hypothetically have would be lifted by Idina and Bell if Anika Noni Rose and Keith David could do the same for an underwhelming soundtrack like TP&TF's. I'm not sure what people were expecting if they were surprised Olaf got a song. What wavelength are you guys on? I couldn't care less that the new characters don't have songs.

Panic at the Disco and Weezer? yep they really want to get that older audience(and their millennial parents.)

this line in this article got my attention:
https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainmen ... quel.html/

Perhaps Hans doesn’t qualify as the main villain of Frozen. He was sent to assassinate Elsa, but he was only a symptom of the problem.

is this official or just the article writer's interpretation of the first film? b/c that's the first time Ive read that Han's attempt to kill Elsa was an assassination ordered by someone else(and not his own doing). That changes many interpretations fans have had about the character's backstory.

Kacey’s is SOOOoooOOO cute! Somebody out there needs to make an edit of that with "Screw Misogynist Country Radio" at the bottom in place of the song title.

It's technically the fifth one. Rescuers Down Under, Fantasia 2000, Winnie the Pooh, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen II. And I'd say Winnie the Pooh definitely counts as a musical.

“It’s an incredibly exciting time for us,” said Del Vecho. “Over the last several years the cast, the crew, everyone has really been pouring their heart and soul into the making of this film. At Disney Animation we never make sequels unless the filmmakers themselves have an idea for a film and a desire to tell it. That’s why even though ‘Frozen II’ is our 58th animated feature, it is only our fourth sequel – and it’s the first animated musical sequel that we have made, at that.”

It's cool they were inspired by Hans Christian Andersen for the sequel as well.

At home, they pulled from Scandinavian and Norse mythology, meticulously examined the works of Hans Christian Andersen, and spent hours ruminating on the future of Frozen’s beloved characters.

We'll see if that's true. As of now, all signs indicate they're moving away from the traditional Disney villain.

Lee confirms that there will be a lot of “antagonistic forces” that the core group will come across in Frozen 2. “We have a lot of great Disney villains, and will continue to do so, and I believe in the Disney villain, but I also, again, like to mess with tropes in the writing, and that was important to Chris, we can say in terms of antagonism and villainous forces, we got that, but we are going to do it in the Frozen way.”

They treat it as if it is a Marvel film. At least it doesn't have that stupid raised eyebrow.

[D82]

I don't know why they are using the same poses in almost all the posters, but this one isn't bad actually. I like the magical representations of the spirits and Elsa on the top of the cliff.

As for the songs, "Into the Unknown" doesn't seem to be as good as "Let it Go", but I quite like it. "When I Am Older" (like "In Summer") sounds like a fun little song. Not all the songs in a movie need to be spectacular, in my opinion. "The Next Right Thing" doesn't sound bad to me either, but I need to listen to more of it to have an opinion.

The official soundtrack listing! Such a disappointment that there are no Kristoff/Anna or Anna/Elsa duets (especially with the end) or anything from the new characters.

1. "All Is Found" - performed by Evan Rachel Wood

2. "Some Things Never Change" - performed by Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff

3. "Into the Unknown" - performed by Idina Menzel (featuring Norwegian singer AURORA)

4. "When I Am Older" - performed by Josh Gad

5. "Reindeer(s) are Better than People (Cont.)" - performed by Jonathan Groff

6. "Lost in the Woods" - performed by Jonathan Groff

7. "Show Yourself" - performed by Idina Menzel and Evan Rachel Wood

8. "The Next Right Thing" - performed by Kristen Bell

9. "Into the Unknown" - performed by Panic! At The Disco (end credits)

10. "All Is Found" - performed by Kacey Musgraves (end credits)

11. "Lost in the Woods" - performed by Weezer (end credits)

https://www.billboard.com/articles/news ... track-list

Well, Iduna more or less counts as a new character given that she has a new voice here and, apparently, much more screen time. I didn't expect she would also sing "Show Yourself" with Elsa, apart from "All Is Found". Maybe she's the voice Elsa hears after all?

I didn't expect Kristoff would sing a new version of "Reindeers are Better than People" either. I suppose it'll be as short as the original, but Kristoff sings in three songs here, a great improvement over the first film. Also, I guess Disney considers "Lost in the Woods" a stronger song than "The Next Right Thing", if the former has gotten an end credits version, but not the latter.

And speaking of the end credits songs, I find the choice of performers a bit odd. For instance, why have they chosen a male artist to cover "Into the Unknown"?

It's also disappointing there aren't any reprises of the new songs.

Yes, what happened to Anna's reprise of "All is Found"? Has it been deleted from the movie? I hope it's included in the deluxe edition that fortunately we are getting.

I think it's just the article writer's (mis)interpretation of what happened in the first film. If anything, Hans could have been sent to try to marry one of the sisters. Plus, I think killing Elsa wasn't planned by him beforehand either; he decided to do it later when he saw the opportunity.

Exactly. I don't understand why they don't get their facts straight.

How much sugar did the Lopezs eat before writing this song?
