Disney has been all about the live-action remakes lately, but that doesn't mean other animated projects aren't in development. That includes the heavily anticipated Frozen 2, and now the film has a release date courtesy of Olaf actor Josh Gad.

Gad's lovable snowman was one of the highlights of the film, and he will be returning for the sequel along with Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Sven. Gad announced the release date to be November 27, 2019, putting in alongside other Disney projects such as Captain Marvel (March 8), Avengers: Infinity War Part II (May 3), Star Wars: Episode IX (May 24), and Indiana Jones 5 (July 19). While the schedule will probably fill out more, it fills a notable children-centric void for them.
No details are available at the moment in regards to plot or premise, or if Santino Fontana's Hans will have anything to do with the new film, though he did appear in Disney's short film Frozen Fever, which also introduced the snowgies to the universe. Odds are they will be making a return as well in some form. If Disney's schedule wasn't as packed, it probably would've been pushed sooner, but it's not like the studio has been hurting for money. Still, it is surprising that it will be six years between installments, as the original Frozen made over $400 million domestically and brought in over $1 billion worldwide, with a total cume of $1,276,480,335.
Frozen stars Kristen Bell (Anna), Idina Menzel (Elsa), Jonathan Groff (Kristoff), Josh Gad (Olaf), Santino Fontana (Hans), Alan Tudyk (Duke), Ciaran Hinds (Pabbie/Grandpa), Chris Williams (Oaken), Stephen J. Anderson (Kai), Maia Wilson (Bulda), Edie McClurg (Gerda), Robert Pine (Bishop), Maurice LaMarche (King), Livvy Stubenrauch (Young Anna), and Eva Bella (Young Elsa).
Disney's current film in theaters at the moment is Beauty and the Beast, and you can find the official synopsis below.
Beauty and the Beast is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle's enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast's hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within.
Beauty and the Beast stars Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belles eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston's long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, the feather duster; six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald as Madame Garderobe, the wardrobe; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.
Beauty and the Beast is in theaters now, while Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge lands on May 26, 2017. Cars 3 is next up, racing into theaters on July 14, 2017, with Pixar's Coco hitting on November 22nd, 2017. Disney's live action Cruella currently has no release date, and neither does Maleficent 2, The Jungle Book sequel, or the live-action Aladdin. Toy Story 4 hits on July 13, 2018, and the live-action Mulan is scheduled for November 2nd, 2018. Mary Poppins Returns lands shortly thereafter on December 25, 2018.
