Disney's latest animated feature Frozen has broken box office record sales and is only one of five Disney animated films to reach number 1 on the billboard top 200 chart for their Broadway-bound soundtrack. With all of the success of the film, Disney CEO Bob Iger has already expressed plans for a Broadway musical and even possibly, an upcoming sequel.
Disney and Pixar are known for their animated feature films, however, it has been a while since experiencing such a success as they have with their recent film. According to Disney Dreaming, Iger expressed how the success of Frozen was a major milestone for the company and put them back in a good place, financially and reputation wise. Iger then revealed how he is also focused on bringing more films like Frozen to movie theaters world wide in hopes of creating a sequel to the widely admired film.
Iger was also not shy with Fortune Magazine about sharing what Disney considered disappointments, like their 2009 release The Princess and The Frog, and how their recent icy film has given their company a new hope and sense of accomplishment. While confirmation and a release date is yet to be unknown for the sequel, Disney is demanding that it be just as spectacular as the first.
Frozen tells a beautiful story revolving around two sisters fighting to keep their hometown safe from an obstruction of icy veils that would ultimately destroy their land. The inspiring and catchy soundtrack includes voices from Broadway veterans like Jonathan Groff, Idina Menzel, and Josh Gad adding to the major success of the musical film. Fans can expect to see the award-winning animated film on store shelves March 18th.
