Disney uploaded a 25 langauge version of "Let It Go", in all different languages.

Funny little tidbit is that the german and dutch version were both sung by the same actress, Willemijn Verkaik, who funnily enough also played the role of Elphaba (made famous by Idina Menzel) in the german production, then the dutch production, recently on Broadway and is now starting the West End version in Wicked.

The Spanish and Catalan versions are sung by the same singer, too: Gisela.

(Gisela was also the singing voice of Giselle from Enchanted)

Calm your tits Iger, I know you get a hard on when a franchise explodes.

LOL! I just know that he's going to take this perfectly enjoyable film, milk it to death & make us all despise it in a couple years.... Exactly what happenned to me with Lilo & Stitch.

I would love the sequal to have some kind of redemption for Hans, but I dont think Disney has the pelotas. They cant even make Maleficent a villain in her own movie(sheesh!)

All joking aside though, if Frozen 2 does happen, I hope Hans comes back and explain himself. Same with Turbo in Wreck-It Ralph 2 (He was encoded when he died, so technically he could have lived)

1. Wreck it Ralph wasn't really a villain, and it was made very clear in the trailer that he didn't want to be evil.
2. He isn't a existing villain. I would understand why a little girl would refuse to go see a movie about Hans. He is the villain who tried to kill both Anna and Elsa. It makes sense. So the movie would mainly be for the older children

Kind of like when people say that Disney isn't confident enough to make maleficent a full-on villain cause they know that kids don't want to see a movie about villains.

Honestly. i don't see them making a sequel to frozen. And I don't want them to, cause I want them to focus on other movies.

Frozen was simply fantastic. Probably the best Lasseter-era WDAS film thus far. It's an absolute charming romp with some good laughs, entertaining (if not particularly memorable) songs, and some decent action sequences. The animation is flawless, and the rendering on the snow is pretty much photo-realistic (nice to see snow look and behave like real snow).

The film does a marvelous job in creating a sound emotional foundation right from the beginning scenes. You care about the two sisters right away, and without going into any spoilers, I'll just say that the film further builds upon that emotional investment throughout the film and culminates in a very satisfying resolution.

Olaf, the snowman, is going to be huge. He has some of the funniest lines and sequences in the film, and his song about wanting to experience warm weather went over like gangbusters with my audience. He's marketing gold, and I betcha we end up seeing a lot of him at Disneyland and Walt Disney World in the years to come.

The short that preceded the movie Get A Horse! was pretty good too. A nice little mix of old and new school.

Hello there, welcome to the forums.

I like your avatar.

I'm drooling over that Avatar as well

Thanks guys.

I just don't see a sequel to Frozen happening. Everything worked so perfectly in the end and no loose ends were left. Elsa no longer has fear and can control her powers, Anna has a healthy sister relationship and found love in Kristoff, Olaf is just a happy snowman and Sven is just a happy reindeer. Hopefully this sequel buzz is just a rumor. And besides, WDAS has been very sequel-lite. Ralph is the only one I see getting a sequel.

It could be a world building and character development kind of sequel that continues the story, especially when it comes to Hans and the Southern Isles.

Look who's the voice of the Queen!

I'm so glad this movie has been doing so well! It really deserves all the success it gets!
My niece and I really enjoyed it when we saw it in the theaters.

However, I am upset that the 3D Blu-ray isn't coming out until the fall. This does not make any sense and I will not be purchasing the Blu-ray until it comes as a 3D Combo Pack.

The problem with a sequel is the nature of the story platform.

If you take something like Toy Story, for example, the world that exists in the beginning of the story is much the same as the end. While the character situation may be changed, it's still the same "your toys are alive and have adventures" concept that is open-ended enough for further stories within the same setting.

Frozen does not have that luxury. The world that exists at the beginning has been irrevocably changed by the end. Doing a sequel has the problem that many sequels have: there isn't a story that follows logically AND feels like a sufficient escalation that it won't be a letdown. There are definitely stories that you can tell, but few, if any, of those stories would be good enough for an actual, filmed sequel.

Part of the reason the various DTV sequels were subpar wasn't because of poor production, but because the stories themselves don't really allow for it. Some things are really finished with one. And that's fine. Not everything needs to be ongoing.

Not that there isn't any value in those story concepts. I actually like a number of suggestions that were brought up, but all of those feel like something a fan would explore in a fan-fiction. And those could be great, enjoyable stories, but again, not the sort of thing I'd necessarily want to see Disney splurge $150 million dollars on.

But it's possible that Disney could make a good sequel. I'd hope that it would be in keeping with Frozen; twisting the expected fairy tale concepts, strong focus on progressive ideals, lack of a true villain, and so fourth. That's really a tall order to do well upon. However, I do have faith in a possible sequel if Jennifer Lee is involved.

Oh, you mean like this?




(Side note: glad we've all pretty much lost our spoiler tag addiction here. )

Oh my gosh, this all made my day

* laughing so hard *


But, seriously being ignored for two years straight can cause alot of mental harm. Not trying to defend Hans here, just say, that being ignored by your brothers, can seriously mess you up. Quoting from Tumblr, Elsa froze Anna's heart via magic, but Hans froze his heart mentally, hence becoming a douche.

So yes, Anna was completely right about Hans having a frozen heart. However if the douche choose to really love Anna and not use her and do the right thing, that heart could of been healed. Dumb-bum. But then he wouldn't be a villain and break that cliche Prince Charming stereotype.

The movie has been out for a while now, it should be okay ? then again there's people out there who don't that Aeris died in FF VII and that Luke is the son of Darth Vader....

You know how sometimes in Disney films they have different singing and speaking voices for their leads? Well I wondered after watching the 25 Language Let It Go clip, does that happen when Disney films are dubbed? Different singing and speaking voices?

Germany has a different speaking and singing voice for Elsa. not sure about other countries.

I have been having a very crappy day and this is cheering me up. Trust me it's worth it

i work in the dubbing industry. the practice here is to have separate teams for dialogue and music. so... the director won't have ANY SAY on the singing part, which usually disappoints. the lyrics department doesn't event know the essence of each movie and translates literally. it happened to me so many times that i'm just about to give up. regarding frozen, the malaysian actress and singer for elsa is also the pop version singer which will be available on american blu ray.our anna uses different people for each. honestly the local frozen dub is awful. luckily they picked the good part for the 25 multilanguage clip.

I'm hoping to find the full Japanese version. It sounds amazing!

All-New Sing-Along Version of Disney's FROZEN to Hit Theaters, Jan 31

"Frozen" audiences are invited to join the act-literally-as more than 1000 theaters nationwide introduce an all-new sing-along version of Disney's Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe-winning big-screen adventure beginning Jan. 31, 2014.

"'Frozen' fans have embraced the film's original songs and its soundtrack with such passion-there are countless YouTube videos from people singing songs like 'Let It Go'-we decided to create a version that would celebrate that enthusiasm," said Dave Hollis, executive vice president, theatrical distribution, The Walt Disney Studios. "It's a great opportunity for families to get together and have some fun with these songs."

According to Hollis, on-screen lyrics and a magical bouncing snowflake will accompany select showings; moviegoers can check local listings for showtimes and theaters. The duration of the sing-along run will vary by theater.

Singing in the theater... YES PLEASE.

Well, actually I'm slightly (just a bit) turned off. Hearing several off-pitch fangirls (i.e., me) sing might take away from the actual story. But then again by this point the only ones who haven't seen Frozen are those in Japan (March release date), so...
