Disney's Frozen

Four new stills. That last one sure does give off a Moana vibe.

New poster. Stunning! From the same link, here's a special look at the song "Into the Unknown":



Slightly longer compared to the earlier clip I posted. It's already getting stuck in my head.

[Daniel]

Just a head up, the ending has leaked thanks to storybooks. Be cautious if you don't want to be spoiled!

Here's more snippets of songs:




Guess these make up for the lack of songs in the previous trailer. "When I Am Older".. another iconic Olaf song! Sounds upbeat and very catchy.

Hmmm, still not sold on the songs, maybe hearing them in full and seeing visuals will help. The soundtrack is available for pre-ordering on iTunes. No clips but song titles and who is singing and I must say I am a little disappointed as there are a lot of solo or duets. I miss the days of songs that were like a Broadway show with lots of company numbers ie Belle, One Jump Ahead. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the songs from this movie follow the same trajectory as High School Musical 2. The eye more on radio play than actually smoothly being integrated into the plot.

I now want to hunt down the books just to see if Han makes an appearance at all

[Ben]

I’m getting a bit of a "trying too hard" DTV vibe from the songs at the moment. And how is Olaf surviving without his flurry? This concerns me!

[Daniel]

Hopefully they acknowledge that since he still had it in Frozen Fever.

1. "All Is Found" - performed by Evan Rachel Wood

2. "Some Things Never Change" - performed by Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff

3. "Into the Unknown" - performed by Idina Menzel (featuring Norwegian singer AURORA)

4. "When I Am Older" - performed by Josh Gad

5. "Reindeer(s) are Better than People (Cont.)" - performed by Jonathan Groff

6. "Lost in the Woods" - performed by Jonathan Groff

7. "Show Yourself" - performed by Idina Menzel and Evan Rachel Wood

(Possible length)

For all the duets, shame there isn't one for Anna and Elsa...

Preview of some of the merch released last week. Lots of cute stuff. Ooh, a Frozen Monopoly Edition!

Nothing really grabbing me (yet)... although not shown, there's a new ornament from Disney Store that I have my eye on.

Japanese trailer offers a longer snippet of "Into the Unknown":



Now I'm really liking this song! The visuals are astounding.

UK trailer:



Love the charades bit. Elsa with her hair down and unbraided, wow! She looks amazing.

[Bill1978]

Based upon the UK trailer and my sneak peak of the books in the shops I have a feeling the ending of the movie is going to be a bit divisive. Some people will be excited about what the ending means, while others may be wondering what the point was. I'm assuming of course that the books actually end where the movie does and they didn't stop the story 2 pages short to keep the ending of the actual story more of a surprise.

[Daniel]

Had to peek, eh?

I've read similar reactions. I'm... intrigued.

[Daniel]

Brief interview with Santino Fontana, voice of Hans, answering if he will be in the sequel: (about the 4 minute mark)



"Yes. In a small way" Well, at least it's something. Wonder if it will be a flashback or maybe Anna's having nightmares? Whatever it is, I just hope it's treated seriously and not be another joke at his expense like in Frozen Fever. In a perfect world, it would be at the end to foreshadow another sequel... for his revenge or redemption.

[Bill1978]

Redemption I demand redemption. It 20 years time when Frozen gets a live action remake I demand they fix that ridiculous nonsensical twist.

I hope also Han isn't treated like a cheap joke as he was in Frozen Fever and hopefully he is in it for more than half a second. But glad to hear that we will be seeing him in the sequel

[Ben]

Hehehe...twenty years. I give it five to ten: it’s already been five since the first one!

[Daniel]

Going on six, but yes. I see at least one more sequel to make it a "trilogy", afterwards a live remake. I can already see myself making the thread!
