night, Elsa hears a mysterious voice calling her. She
follows it, unintentionally awakening the elemental spirits, who are forcing everyone in the kingdom to
evacuate. The Rock Troll colony arrives, and Grand Pabbie tells the sisters they must set things right
by uncovering the truth about the past. Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven follow the mysterious voice,
and travel to the Enchanted Forest.
The mist parts at Elsa's touch, while the air spirit appears as a tornado, catching everyone in its vortex
until Elsa stops it by turning the vortex into ice sculptures that show images from their father's past.
Elsa also befriends the fire spirit, who is an agitated magical salamander. They later encounter the
Northuldra and a troop of Arendellian soldiers who are still in conflict with one another. Anna and Elsa
arrange a truce between the soldiers and the Northuldra after discovering that their mother, Queen
Iduna, was a Northuldran who had saved the Arendellian Agnarr. The Northuldra tell them about a
fifth spirit, who is meant to reunite the people with the magic of nature.
While Kristoff and Sven stay with the Northuldra, Elsa, Anna, and Olaf continue north. They find their
parents' wrecked ship and a map with a route to Ahtohallan, a mythical river said to explain the past.
Believing she should continue alone, Elsa sends Anna and Olaf to safety despite Anna's protests. She
encounters and tames the Nøkk, the water spirit who guards the sea to Ahtohallan. Elsa discovers that
the voice calling to her is the memory of young Iduna and that her powers are a gift from nature
because of Iduna's selfless saving of Agnarr. Venturing into the most dangerous part of Ahtohallan, she
learns that the dam was built as a ruse to reduce Northuldran resources because of Runeard's
contempt for the tribe's connection with magic, and that he began the conflict by murdering the
Northuldran leader in cold blood. Elsa relays this information to Anna before freezing solid, which in
turn causes Olaf to fade away from existence.
Upon discovering the truth, Anna concludes that the dam must be destroyed for peace to be restored
and the forest to be freed. She awakens the earth spirit, Jötunn, and lures it towards the dam. The
massive rock giants hurl boulders, destroying the dam and sending a flood down the fjord towards the
kingdom. Elsa thaws and rides the Nøkk to Arendelle, where she freezes the flood and saves the
kingdom. As the mist disappears, she rejoins Anna and revives Olaf, before Kristoff proposes to Anna.
Realizing she is the fifth spirit herself, Elsa explains to Anna that they are the bridge between the
people and the magical spirits. Elsa abdicates the throne to Anna and becomes the protector of the
Enchanted Forest, visiting Arendelle regularly with peace restored.
In a post-credits scene, Olaf visits Elsa's ice palace and recounts the events to Marshmallow, the snow
giant created by Elsa as palace guard,[b] and the Snowgies, miniature snowmen inadvertently
generated by Elsa from sneezing.[c]

Production
Conception
Producer Peter Del Vecho said on March 31, 2014, that he, Chris
Buck, and Jennifer Lee collaborated well, and he envisioned
another Frozen-related project.[1 8] The following month, Walt
Disney Studios chairman Alan F. Horn said that a sequel would not
be immediately forthcoming because the studio was focusing on a
Broadway musical adaptation of Frozen.[1 9][20] In a May 2014
CNBC interview with David Faber, the Walt Disney Company CEO
Bob Iger said that the company would not force the development
of a sequel, because it was concerned about not living up to the
first film. Iger said that the Frozen franchise "is something that is
kind of forever for the company", similar to The Lion King.[21 ] (left to right) Producer Peter Del
Vecho, director and writer Jennifer
On June 10, 2014, Lee confirmed that Walt Disney Studios CCO Lee, and director Chris Buck at
John Lasseter had authorized her and Buck to explore a possible Frozen's 2013 premiere
sequel.[22][23] While working on the short film Frozen Fever
(2015), they realized that they missed the characters. Meanwhile,
Del Vecho had been asked by fans about Frozen's future. Lee, Buck, and Del Vecho discussed the
possibility of a sequel.[23] Buck later said, "The one thing that we did right away was to figure out what
would be satisfying for Anna and Elsa at the end of the movie."[24] They decided on ending the sequel
with Anna becoming the queen of Arendelle, while Elsa would be "free".[23]

hearing a lot. was approximately $150 million.[32]
Frozen 2 's first completed scenes were test screened at the Annecy International Animated Film
Festival in June 2019,[43][44] where Becky Bresee and effects-animation head Marlon West said that
the film was "still in production, with seven weeks of animation to be completed and 10 weeks of
special effects".[45] The filmmakers collaborated with Sámi experts on the depiction of the Northuldra
tribe with Verdett, an advisory group which was the result of an agreement between the Walt Disney
Company, the transnational Saami Council, and the Sámi parliaments of Finland, Norway, and
Sweden.[46] Anderson-Lopez confirmed that Elsa would have no female love interest in the film,
despite some fans' desire for one.[47 ] Lee later explained to The New York Times reporter Maureen
Dowd that Elsa's main audience did not seem ready for such a relationship.[48] Lee also stated in a
press conference that Frozen 2 would not acquire elements from the television series Once Upon a
Time 's Frozen storyline, which was part of its fourth season.[49]
Frozen 2 underwent significant revisions after its first test screening in San Diego; Disney Animation
discovered that although adults liked the film, children found it hard to follow. The production team
realized they needed to clarify the identity of the Voice and the point of Elsa's transformation, and add
more comedy and shots of Bruni (the fire salamander). A scene of expository dialogue in which the
lead characters explained to the people trapped in the Enchanted Forest why they had come there was
replaced with Olaf's humorous recap of Frozen. Due to the changes, the animators needed to create 61
new shots and redo another 35. An undisclosed number of shots were cut from the finished film; about
a dozen animators and artists worked for two months on an elaborate resurrection scene for Olaf
before it was cut.[50]
The last major animation scene completed before the production team locked the picture was "Show
Yourself", the musical number in which Elsa enters Ahtohallan and learns all the secrets she has been
seeking. According to Del Vecho, the scene "required all of the resources at the studio" to get the film
done on time.[23] Lopez said that the first draft of "Show Yourself" was very different from its final
version.[51 ] Megan Harding directed an official documentary series on the production of Frozen 2,
which depicted the process of Del Vecho and Lopez determining The Voice's identity. Once the
production team settled on Queen Iduna, the lyrics of "Show Yourself" finally began to come together,
but then the studio's artists, designers, and animators needed to quickly figure out how to stage the
dramatic culmination of Elsa's journey towards becoming the Snow Queen.[50] The film was edited by
Jeff Draheim.[52]
Design
Costume and character designs underwent several revisions before they were finalized. According to
designer Griselda Sastrawinata-Lemay, the process was the most intricate of any animated film.
Technological advancements allowed the designer to create more-detailed outfits, with extra beads
and sequins. The team used Marvelous Designer, a computer-generated imagery (CGI) program, to
drape each character's clothing.[53]
Anna's outfit was inspired by the Norwegian folk bunad, worn during the 1840s and 1850s. Typically
made of wool, it had decorative embroidery. Anna lost the pigtail braid she had in Frozen because she
is three years older in Frozen 2, and it was replaced by a braid across the back of her head. Aging Elsa
three years was inspired by artists Alexander McQueen and Elie Saab. Saab's designs had long trains
and cumbersome floor-length hemlines; the designers instead created a tailored coat with a double-
panel cape and epaulettes, highlighting Elsa's strength.[53]
The animation team used a curve-based method for the intricate embroidery. A program interpreted
two-dimensional visual designs as line strokes, rendering them as curves. This allowed quick changes,
minimizing manual work during design modifications. It also supported free-form stitching with
threads of various widths, colors, and densities, crucial to the production of a variety of embroidery
styles.[54]
Animation
About 800 people, 80 of them animators, were involved in the production of Frozen 2.[55] Tony
Smeed and Becky Bresee were the film's heads of animation;[3] Hyun-Min Lee replaced Bresee as
supervising animator for Anna, while Wayne Unten again served as supervising animator for Elsa as
he had done on Frozen. Steve Golberg was the supervising animator for visual effects.[56][57 ] Scott
Beattie was the director of cinematography layout, while Mohit Kallianpur was the director of
cinematography lighting.[58]
Frozen 2 made use of advancements in technology, artistic performance, and skeletal animation.[59]
Before the animation began, Unten showed scenes of superheroes like Frozone to Elsa's animators as
examples of what to avoid.[56] Creating the personal flurry effect was so difficult for the animators
that the directors had Elsa put a permafrost coating on Olaf in Frozen 2 instead.[60] Elsa's graceful
movements were modeled on Frozen and modern dance, particularly Martha Graham's work.[56]
In accordance with Disney's preference for a different style for each film and the directors' and
production designer's artistic vision, the multi-departmental animation team[30] was instructed to
reconstruct the characters so they were slightly different in tone and style from Frozen. They differed
in "very subtle ways", with a "through line from the first movie to the second".[59] As well as making
the Enchanted Forest vegetation autumnal, the effects team applied two internally developed
applications (Vegetation Asset and Fire Tree) to enhance the film's vegetation and fire animation.[61 ]
Lighting and special effects were applied to glacial ice, spirit magic, and memory.[62]
The first step for the animation team was to study the screenplay and understand the characters.
Blocking (creating key poses) was next, followed by CGI and layout.[57 ][63] Effects were proposed for
layout before animation process to choreograph the dam-collapse scene.[64] Although Frozen's
greatest difficulty for Frozen was the winter snow, Frozen 2 is set in fall; its main challenge was how to
consistently depict the wind and "pass that downstream".[57 ][63]
Frozen 2 's animation software was influenced by the software in several other Disney films. Anna's
hair was animated with Quicksilver, developed for Moana (2016) to deal with wind; for Elsa's hair, the
lighting software Beast was used. A vocal coach instructed the animators on how a singer would
breathe.[65] The animators then spent about eight months creating Nøkk, which has a liquid
appearance, with effects supervised by Erin Ramos. Jötunns had a long rigging process to avoid
making rocks distracting.[30] The water simulation was intended to be more realistic than in
Moana.[66] To create Gale, the wind spirit, a tool called Swoop was developed. They later received
real-time feedback from the supervisors, directors, and producer.[67 ][68]
Music
Lopez and Anderson-Lopez returned from Frozen to write
songs for the sequel, and Christophe Beck returned as
composer.[69] The soundtrack album was released on
November 15, 2019,[7 0] after the release of Panic! at the
Disco's version of one of the film's songs, "Into the
Unknown".[7 1 ] The seven-song album also contains a remix
of "Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People" from Frozen.[7 2]
Beck said that the score conveys Elsa and Anna's emotional Songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and
growth, "matured and introduc[ing] more sophisticated Robert Lopez in 2019, and composer
musical concepts and thematic elements". He wanted it to Christophe Beck in 2012
Thematic analysis
The indigenous Sámi people were historically associated with reindeer, and identified with the animals'
strength. Trude Fonneland wrote that a female divinity emphasized female contributions with themes
including unity, courage, hope, friendship, and truth.[7 5][7 6][7 7 ] Elsa attempted to send Anna away
because she was concerned about her sister's safety.[7 8][7 9]
While Elsa attempts to find out who was calling her, Anna destroys
the dam to make amends to the Northuldra for Arendelle's

atrocities.[5] Matt Goldberg wrote that the symbolism of the film's
ending is undercut by having Elsa save Arendelle, instead of
rebuilding the kingdom elsewhere.[82]
Racial issues in Frozen 2 are mitigated by making Elsa and Anna half Northuldran, and their mother is
depicted as a heroine who saved their father (King Agnarr) from death during the battle.[5][86]
Jennifer Baldwin described Frozen 2 as a film about trauma, transformation, and faith communities'
more-active role in environmental repair.[87 ] Environmental trauma is caused by the dam, which
weakens the elemental spirits. Olaf describes the forest as a place of transformation, including
venturing into the unknown, befriending the spirits and the indigenous Northuldra, and confronting
trauma. Elsa gains the trust of the spirits, each leading her closer to the truth and her transformation
into one of the elements. Anna employs the giants (symbolic of the earth) to break the dam (symbolic
of trauma and mistrust) and gains her own strength, independent of her relationship with Elsa.
According to Baldwin, this encourages the audience to adopt more sustainable practices, make amends,
and work together to preserve the natural world.[81 ] The film can introduce young children to
environmental issues, such as climate change.[88]
Sociologist Lauren Dundes describes Elsa's relationship with the mythological horse Nøkk and
concludes that "her skills as a horse whisperer do not threaten men's ascendancy [...] These themes
show how Disney balked at modernizing Elsa, retreating to outdated conceptions of gender roles".[89]
Nia Kurniawati wrote that Frozen 2 's feminist message was subtle and realistic.[90]
The 103-minute film Frozen 2 premiered on November 7, 2019, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood,
Los Angeles.[1 01 ][1 02] It was initially scheduled for release on November 27,[1 03] but was moved
forward five days, to November 22, 2019.[1 04] On January 17, 2020, a sing-along version of Frozen 2
was released.[1 05] It was localized by Disney Character Voices International into 45 languages by its
original theatrical release date;[1 06] Frozen had been translated into 41 languages.[1 07 ] The success of
Frozen's localized versions led to the release of an album with all versions of "Let It Go",[1 08] and
Jikŋon 2 (a Northern Sami version) was released to honor the people's contributions.[1 09]
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released Frozen 2 for digital download on February 11,
2020, and on Blu-ray and DVD on February 25.[1 1 0] At the same time, a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray ,
Ultimate Collector's Edition, and 4KUHD Blu-ray steelbook edition was released.[1 1 1 ] Special features
include a sing-along audio recording of the film, a presentation of the Nordic mythology on which the
Enchanted Forest is based,[1 1 2] musical clips, and 29 translated versions of "Into the Unknown", as
well as deleted music and scenes.[1 1 3] The film, initially scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on June 26,
2020, was moved up to March 15 in the United States and March 17 in Canada, the Netherlands,
Australia, and New Zealand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1 1 4][1 1 5]
Documentary series
Megan Harding (who had directed a 2014 making-of ABC television special about Frozen) reached out
to Disney Animation about documenting the production of Frozen 2; with the company's cooperation,
Harding, working with Lincoln Square Productions, commuted from New York City to Burbank,
California and shot 1,300 hours of footage in 115 days between December 2018 and the November
2019 world premiere.[7 4] She edited the footage[1 1 6] down to six episodes, about 35 to 45 minutes
long.[7 4] Disney Animation knew that Harding intended to take a "fearless" and "honest look" at the
filmmaking process; her crew was asked to leave only once,[7 3] when the production team wanted to
decide the mysterious voice's identity.[50] The documentary series, Into the Unknown: Making
Frozen 2, was released on June 26, 2020.[7 4]
Reception
Box office
Frozen 2 grossed $477.4 million in the United States and Canada and $976.3 million in other
territories, for a worldwide total of $1.453 billion.[32] It was the third-highest-grossing film of
2019,[1 1 7 ] the tenth-highest-grossing film of all time,[1 1 8] and the second-highest-grossing animated
film of all time.[1 1 9] On December 15, 2019, Frozen 2 passed the $1 billion mark at the global box
office.[1 20] Deadline Hollywood calculated the film's net profit as $599 million, accounting for
production budgets, marketing, talent participations, and other costs; box office grosses and home
media revenues placed it second on their list of 2019's "Most Valuable Blockbusters".[1 21 ] According to
Disney (who did not consіder the 2019 Lion King remake an anіmated fіlm but a live-action reboot),
Frozen 2 was the hіghest-grossing anіmated fіlm (surpassing Frozen) at that time.[1 22] Frozen 2 's
box-office success was attributed to its release date near Thanksgiving. According to Comscore analyst
Paul Dergarabedian, the film was "perfectly positioned to play well into 2020."[1 23]
Frozen 2 was released with A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and 21 Bridges on November 22,
2019, in 4,440 theaters:[1 24] 2,500 in 3D, 800 in the premium large format (including 400 in IMAX),
and 235 in D-Box/4DX.[1 25] It grossed $41.8 million on its first day,[1 26] including $8.5 million from
Thursday night previews.[1 24] The film debuted grossing $130 million, the highest opening for an
animated film that month.[1 27 ] Frozen 2 primarily drew a mostly female audience and approximately
70 percent of the viewers were families.[1 28] Its second weekend grosses dropped by 34 percent to

by another $34.7 million the third weekend.[1 30] By December 29, the film's domestic grosses topped
$400 million.[1 31 ] Frozen 2 left theaters by March 19, 2020, making it the fourth highest-grossing film
of 2019 in the United States and Canada,[1 32] at which point the film industry became significantly
affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.[1 33][1 34]
Worldwide, Frozen 2 grossed $228.2 million in its opening weekend in 37 markets, for a global debut
total of $358.5 million. This surpassed the 2019 remake of The Lion King to become the highest-
grossing film for an animated title until The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) took over. It had the
best all-time opening of an animated film in the United Kingdom ($17.8 million) and France

($69.7 million), Germany ($60.6 million), and France ($53.9 million).[32]
Critical response
Frozen 2 received generally positive reviews.[1 39][1 40][1 41 ] It has an approval rating of 77% based on
336 professional reviews on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of
6.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Frozen II can't quite recapture the showstopping feel of its

weighted average) assigned Frozen 2 a score of 64 out of 100 score based on 47 critics, indicating
"generally favorable reviews".[1 44][1 45] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average

stars on the film's opening day.[1 24]
efforts to mitigate climate change. McCarthy praised its "catchy songs", "easy-to-like characters", and
"astonishing backdrops", with humor and a plot driven by "female empowerment
galore".[1 48][1 49][1 50]
Frozen 2 's narrative, music, and focus were criticized.[e] In The Wall Street Journal, John Anderson
noted that the sequel was not innovative and criticized the film's flawed narrative and low-quality
music in comparison with Frozen.[1 51 ] In an Empire review, Ben Travis said that the narrative relied
too much on mythology and hazy backstories.[1 53] Minow criticized the film's excessively detailed
narrative,[31 ] and Observer writer Oliver Jones said that the film's energy and originality were overly
focused on the sisters.[1 52] Reviewers for the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post cited
Frozen 2 's complicated story and dark tone.[1 61 ]
