Elsa and the gang are back and in a dark place in the first teaser of Frozen 2

We woke up this morning with the first trailer of Frozen 2. sequel to Frozen The Invention Reinvention by Disney in 2013 of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale " Snow Queen". The original was so powerful that it would be difficult for a sequel to recreate the magic, but the new teaser certainly looks promising.

(Spoilers for original Frozen below.)

The first film tells the story of two princesses of Arendelle. The older Elsa (Idina Menzel) has the power to control and create ice and snow, but she struggles to control it. When she accidentally wounds her younger sister Anna (Kristen Bell), local trolls heal Anna but warn that Elsa must learn to control her magic. In response, their parents lock them both. When Elsa is 21, she is crowned queen, but an argument with Anna after the coronation reveals her magic. She is exiled from the kingdom, fled to the mountains and built a magnificent castle of ice and snow in which to live in everyday life. But she does not realize that Arendelle has also frozen, putting the population at risk.

Anna goes looking for Elsa with the help of an ice hunter named Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and his faithful Sven, a reindeer, as well as a man of snow. named Olaf (Josh Gad). Naturally, everything works in the end because it is a Disney fairy tale. Frozen has earned more than 1.2 billion euros worldwide, making it the most profitable animation film of all time. He won the Oscars for Best Animated Film and Best Song – "Let It Go," sings the song that Elsa sings while she builds her ice castle. (This is an excellent song, and it might be a bit ungenerous to emphasize its strong resemblance to "Defying" Gravity "of the hit Broadway musical Wicked . Kristen Anderson- Lopez and Robert Lopez composed both.) Franchises.

So, of course, there would be a sequel, even though it was not officially announced until March 2015. Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck are again co-directors, alongside original stars Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell , Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad, with new music from Anderson-Lopez and Lopez, but it will be a challenge to live up to the brilliant success of the original.

We know almost nothing about history. , except that he will also present Arendelle, and c The first trailer does not tell us much. It begins with a long sequence of isolated Elsa on a distant coast and trying to cross the water using her powers to freeze water so that she can pbad. But it fails (perhaps because, as Nerdist points out, salt water has a higher freezing point). It is notoriously difficult to create animation movements similar to fluids, and this sequence is amazing. We see Anna also isolated, so the sisters are both in a dark place. Fortunately, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf go to the rescue. The last picture, that of our faithful crew gathered walking through a forest, ends with a brave Anna who feels something behind them and pulls Kristoff's sword. I'm sure the gang will triumph again – and they will do it with a lot of songs.

Frozen 2 live on November 22, 2019.
