Kristen Bell Says 'Frozen 2' Cast Going Into the Recording Studio Soon

A year has passed since Disney announced its completely unsurprising plans to make Frozen 2, a sequel to the studio’s extremely lucrative, 2013 ice-princess smash Frozen. Since then, additional information about the Anna/Elsa follow-up, including a confirmation of its release date, has been relatively scarce. But according to Kristen Bell, the voice of persistent snowman-builder Anna, the actors may start recording their performances very soon.

In a new interview with Collider, Bell said she and her cast mates are about to go back into the studio. “They’ve just written it and they’re still doing tweaks,” she said, referring to Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, who co-directed and co-wrote the first Frozen, “but I think we should be recording this month.”

She added that neither she nor her returning cast mates, including Josh Gad and Idina Menzel, have started working on the songs. She also dropped zero hints about what the plot of Olaf Part Deux (not the movie’s actual name) might be.

“Generally when you have a first successful movie, you want to make a second one. It took them a while because they wanted to figure out what story they needed to tell and what would be important and engaging and I think they found it,” Bell told Collider.

There’s still no release date news, either, but with the Broadway musical version of Frozen set to arrive in 2018, that would seem like a logical target time frame for the sequel. Until Disney confirms that though, we’ll have to take our curiosity and just — yeah, you know what’s coming — let it go.
