It's common for people in Hollywood to do that. They lie about upcoming projects all the time, in order to not ruin the surprise. It's not exclusive to Disney at all.Sotiris wrote:Well, well, well. Would you look at that?After all that vehement denial, this is really embarrassing for Disney. Even as we speak there are interviews of Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee coming out denying that there is a sequel planned.
Willing to bet money Disney will fast-track this for November 2017. It took over two years for Buck & Lee to make the first one, and I can't imagine Disney willing to wait until 2018 to release it. Four years is a big enough gap as it is.
