Frozen 2 has been a hit among audiences who savored the anticipated sequel to the first movie. With the first two entries in the franchise being a global hit, it may seem likely that Disney would be working on a third movie – Frozen 3.
However, at the end of the second movie, one hints that the story of Arendelle is over. Despite the satisfactory ending, many fans wish to follow the colorful cast along a new adventure, and the odds might be in their favor.
The Frozen Franchise
A quick glimpse at box office statistics will reveal that both movies have been quite popular among the target audiences. Released in 2013, Frozen earned more than $1.28 billion, planting the seed for a profitable franchise. Six years passed until Frozen 2 was released in 2019, scoring $1.45 billion at the box office and proving that the interest has grown over the years.
Besides the main movies, Disney has also released several animated shorts, among which we can count Olaf’s Frozen Adventure and Frozen Fever. The revenue collected by Disney is even larger if we take into account the assortment of Frozen-themed merchandise that can be found on the market.
Frozen 3 possible release date
It is likely that a third movie would bring even more people to the theater. Creating an interesting plot should not be a difficult task for Disney, and the co-director has stated that one should never say never when a possibility is involved.
With Disney spending six years on the creation of the sequel, it should be no surprise that a new Frozen movie will not be announced in the close feature, despite the demands made by dedicated fans. If an optimist release window and current trends are included, Disney may release Frozen 3 in November 2023.
It is important to keep in mind that several animated movies are already in the making, and these projects have to be finished first, so Frozen 3 might come out later.
That would make me, my friends and the fans happy if there really was a Frozen 2.
I really like the idea that Queen Iduna and King Agnarr survived the storm in the first movie and therefore come back in Frozen 3, and I really hope it will be formal. Seeing Anna and Elsa finding and saving their parents after learning that they are alive seems very exciting to me. As soon as Anna and Elsa find their parents, it will be explained and revealed:
if Iduna had told King Agnarr that she was the one who had saved him;
if the parents had explained to Anna why Esla was isolated, no longer spoke to her and no longer played with her (even if they did not reveal her sister’s powers to her): like she was sick, and if they had reassured her that she could see her sister Elsa again;
if the parents, before their boat sank, had started to think and even to believe that to separate and isolate their daughters was a mistake;
Queen Iduna and King Agnarr expressing their regrets to their daughters for having isolated and separated them, even if it was for a good cause but realizing that it was a mistake.
I also hope so much that it will be told and explained in Frozen 3:
that even if she is the fifth spirit, Elsa is not immortal so far: according to a Q&A session afterwards, although she has become the fifth spirit, Elsa is still human and therefore always mortal. This means that the “bridge” between humanity and nature will continue after her death and that of Anna or require another person to become the fifth spirit. Otherwise, if Elsa is truly immortal, she could start looking for a way to be freed from immortality with the help of her sister Anna and his friends: like Henry Turner looking for a way and managing to free his father Will Turner from the Flying Dutchman curse that made him immortal in Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Dead Men Tell No Tales.
If following a magic accident, or other, the magic powers of Esla were transferred to her sister Anna and that the latter declares not without humor why this did not happen to her earlier (before she was separated from her older sister) which makes them laugh, and that until Elsa has recovered her powers she has to help Anna has mastered them;
if Anna found all her memories of the magic of her sister during her childhood before the accident that Pabbie had erased (although this has already been explained in a book);
who are Kristoff’s parents, and what happened to them so that he was left alone since his childhood with Sven;
Anna mysteriously disappearing and it will be Elsa’s turn to look for her and save her as her sister had done before;
Anna perverted following a curse (which Elsa would have had a nightmare before this happened) and Elsa and her friends must find a way to free Anna from this curse;
if Anna also has magic powers;
If Hans is going to be forgiven for his betrayal towards Anna and Elsa, knowing that Hans was ill-treated by his brothers (except Lars) and his father King Westergaard to whom his last ones recognized their fault by transforming Hans into sociopath, and they him therefore imposed a lenient punishment after his expulsion to the southern islands and did not deprive him of his royal status, seeing that Hans having been punished by shoveling manure in Frozen Fever and that it is shown that he keep his royal clothes. Encouraged and accompanied by his brother Lars and his mother, Hans goes on a mission accompanying Esla, Anna and their friends despite their distrust of the prince who had tried to kill them.
If there is a marriage of Anna and Kristoff, Elsa as well as the Northuldras will be present, but that following an unexpected event, Anna postpones her marriage as in Once Upon A Time.
