Haha, a minute apart! Snow's came first, but I'll add Sawyer's descriptor to the title.

Director of Tangled and music from the Frozen team sounds like a winner.

 

[Snow Queen]

Snow Queen!!!!!!

A minute too slow, Sawyer.

 

[Sithborg]

Director of Tangled and music from the Frozen team sounds like a winner.

Agreed.

 

[Majik1387]

Well which music from Frozen? The sung songs or the orchestral score?

 

[flickchick85]

The songs.

 

[Majik1387]

Eh, hopefully it will be a full on musical then instead of dropping out of the third act.

Yeah I'm hoping for a musical as well. I always hope for musicals.

I want captain America: civil war to be a musical

The one interesting thing about this adaptation is that it takes place in Spain.

So what's the Disney animation film for 2017, if Moana is 2016 and this is 2018?
Wreck it Ralph 2?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Love the image. Love it. Totally for this.

 

[Majik1387]

I'm curious what kind of animation style it's going to go for.

Is it not for Frozen 2?

 

[Quasimod0]

Just read on IMDB that Frozen 2 is set for a 2018 release.

 

[psylockolussus]

I'm looking forward to this!

Nothing, same as there are none this year. Disney is now on a 2 film every other year schedule. 2016 is Zootopia and Moana, 2018 is Gigantic and Frozen 2.

Shame.

 

[Gee]

Good. Now they can focus on Toy Story 5, Frozen 3, Cars 5 and Zootopia 2.

 

[psylockolussus]

Pixar can continue doing sequels but WDAS, I prefer them to make 1 and done films.

Its a shame that this one gets canceled, they have also canceled King of the Elves which sounded interesting and I was looking forward to another fairy tale based Disney animated film.

“Sometimes, no matter how much we love an idea or how much heart goes into it, we find that it just isn’t working”

Translation:

"Moana didn't rake in a billion dollars, so we're pulling the plug on original movies and playing it safe with sequels."

It surely made a lot of more money than Cars 3. And it made more than movies like Wreck-It Ralph and The Incredibles (at least when you're not adjust the numbers for inflation).
