'Frozen 2' Trailer & Release Date: Film on Active Development! Is Olaf Returning? [Spoilers]

In the 2013 "Frozen" film, a talking snowman touched the hearts of viewers as he melted with the heat. In the coming "Frozen 2" movie, Olaf may be singing summer songs again. 

Actor Josh Gad, known for giving life to Olaf in the first film, told ComingSoon.net, "It's already been announced and I know that they're actively developing it. I think it's still a bit away."

He said that the creative team is taking their time on defining how to top the story. "The more I hear about it, the more excited I'm getting and I think it's going to be wonderful," he adds.

Gad is currently busy with a Sony film "Pixels", an action-comedy film coming on July 24.

According to a separate report from ComingSoon.net, "Frozen 2" was officially announced in March at Disney's Annual Meeting of Shareholders. "Frozen" directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee are returning for the next film.

"Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck have come up with a great idea for a sequel," said Walt Disney and Pixar Animations Studios chief executive officer, John Lasseter, as quoted by The Guardian.

The announcement was made before the debut of an eight-minute sequel film to "Frozen" titled "Frozen Fever". The short film centers around Elsa and Kristoff's birthday plan for Anna. The sequel also shows that the sisters had grown closer to each other again.

There are not much details revealed about the movie plot. However, there are rumors claiming of new villains. According to Christianity Daily, the new villain may be of equal but contrasting power with the ice queen. Masterherald also notes that old villains, such as Prince Hans, may comeback for "Frozen 2," but as a "redeemed person."

After "Frozen" grossed $1.27 billion worldwide as per Box Office Mojo, the public got addicted to Idina Menzel's "Let It Go, which, as Telegraph reports, is due to a number of factors including its appeal to a broad audience, Idina Menzel's musical prowess and it's perfect fit with the animation. 

Disney itself has uploaded a Sing-along version of the song. Here is the video.

Here comes more evidence of the popularity of "Frozen" characters. While Anna had always been a popular name, the name "Elsa" had surprisingly become the 286th most common girl names in 2014. The data came straight from the Official Social Security website, which has a feature showing the popularity of baby names.

According to records, the last time it made the top 500 was in 1917, almost a century ago. On the other hand, the name "Anna" had stayed at the top 50 since 1990. Babies named Olaf also increased a bit.

Meanwhile, a festival show is being held at Disney's Frozen Village in Hong Kong Disneyland. Children can enjoy watching a theater show, building ice castles and meeting live Elsa and Anna characters.

The story of "Frozen" was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's book "The Snow Queen." The author is also known for penning "The Little Mermaid", where a Disney animated film of the same title was based from.
