Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind “Tangled” and “Wreck-It
Ralph,” presents “Frozen,” a stunning big-screen comedy
adventure. Fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets
off on an epic journey—teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff
(voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven—to find her sister
Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom
of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions,
mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf (voice of Josh
Gad), Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the
kingdom.
The film is directed by Chris Buck (“Tarzan,” “Surf’s
Up”) and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, “Wreck-It Ralph”), who also wrote
the screenplay. It is produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Winnie the Pooh,”
“The Princess and the Frog”). Featuring
original songs from Kristen Anderson-Lopez (“In Transit,” “Winnie the
Pooh”) and Tony® winner Robert Lopez (“The Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q”),
and an original score by Christophe Beck (“The Muppets,” Oscar®-winning
short “Paperman”), “Frozen” hits theaters in 3D on Nov. 27, 2013.
