Disney's Frozen 2 releasing 22 November will reveal that the past isn't what you thought it was.


The worldwide public couldn't let it go, making the animation film Frozen the 15th highest grossing film of all time, so when the sequel is released on 22 November the story will reveal that "the past is not what it seems".

The upcoming sequel that is set 3 years after the 2013-original and that will likely surpass the box office take of the original, will once again feature Elsa, her sister Anna, Kristoff, Sven and the snowman Olaf who this time all go on a new journey beyond their homeland of Arendelle in order to discover the origin of Elsa's magic powers.

At Disney's D23 Expo this past weekend but not yet released online some new clips of Frozen 2 were shown, with Disney Africa that also showed some of it this past Tuesday to the media at its annual upfront for its 2019/2020 content showcase.

Key is the phrase "The past is not what it seems".

Frozen 2 will answer all of the unanswered questions left from the original,

At the D23 Expo during the Frozen 2 presentation, the film's co-director Jennifer Lee said the sequel will explore questions like "Why was Anna born the way she was? Where were their parents really going when that ship went down? And is there really such a thing as happily ever after?

The other co-director Chris Buck said that Frozen 2 revolves around "a past that wasn't what it seems, a past that could threaten the future of Arendelle, a past that leads our gang to an enchanted forest".

"It's a story that starts in the past. In these Disney films, we tend to kill off the parents. Well, we're bringing them back."

About the enchanted forest that the group soon finds themselves in, Chris Buck said that it's "a place of transformation where change comes for you whether you like it or not. Relationships are tested, everything you thought you knew proves to be wrong, powers that were once too strong for the world are suddenly not enough, and it's easy to get lost."

"We can't tell you whether they solve the mystery of the past or whether Elsa ever finds the answers about her powers, but we can tell you that Frozen 2 is even bigger and more epic, but most importantly, in the end Frozen 1 and Frozen 2 work together to form one complete story."

The Walt Disney Animation Studios produced film will start off in the past with a prologue and the flashback will feature the mother of the princesses, Queen Iduna (Evan Rachel Wood) singing to her two young daughters to help them fall asleep.

The sequel will have 7 new, original songs, including an ensemble number with Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Kristoff. There will also be a big power-ballad called that will be the film's version of "Let It Go".
