Iger recently traveled to Hong Kong to attend the opening of the new Disneyland attraction “World of Frozen”, and shared some amazing news about this franchise during an interview with Good Morning America.
“Frozen 3 is in the works, and there might be a Frozen 4 in the works, too. But, I don’t have much to say about those films right now. But Jenn Lee who created Frozen, is hard at work with her team at Disney Animation on not one but actually two stories,” said Iger.
Frozen songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez addressed the news on social media and revealed they’ll return to pen music for the two follow-up films. They previously won an Academy Award and Grammy Award for the hit song “Let It Go” from the first Frozen film.
Frozen came out in 2013 and went on to win an Oscar for best animated feature. It produced a feature-length sequel Frozen II in 2019, in addition to inspiring short films, live shows, and TV specials.

“I’m so pleased to announce that we have sequels in the works from our animation studios to some of our most popular franchises. We’ll have more to share about these productions soon, but this is a great example of how we’re leaning into our unrivaled brands and franchises,” said Iger.
Pixar’s Toy Story franchise earned Disney $3.03 billion at the global box office so far, with Toy Story 4 alone grossing $1.07 billion in 2019. The spinoff Lightyear was released in June last year, but it struggled to find the financial and critical success of the original franchise.
As for Frozen, the sequel to the original movie came out in 2019, grossing $1.45 billion. The sequel to Zootopia was a long time coming, and fans have been asking for it ever since this movie came out in 2016 and went on to win an Oscar for the best animated feature.
