Frozen 2 (stylized as Frozen II) is a 2019 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures as the sequel to Frozen (2013).
Produced by Peter Del Vecho, the film was directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee from a screenplay by Lee.
The directors co-wrote the story with Marc Smith, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, and Robert Lopez.
It stars the voices of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad, and Jonathan Groff.
Set three years after the first film, Frozen II follows sisters Anna and Elsa, and their companions Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf as they travel to an enchanted forest to unravel the origin of Elsa's magical power.
It explores the themes of colonialism and advocating reparation.
Frozen II was greenlit in March 2015 after a company debate about whether it would be perceived as inferior to the original.
It used more-complex, enhanced animation technology than Frozen, and was an interdepartmental collaboration.
Anderson-Lopez and Lopez returned as the film's songwriters, and Christophe Beck again composed the score.
The film was translated into 46 languages and was accompanied by Into the Unknown: Making Frozen II, a documentary series.
Frozen II premiered in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on 7 November 2019, and was released in the United States on 22 November.
The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $1.450 billion worldwide, finishing its theatrical run as the third highest-grossing film of 2019, the tenth highest-grossing film of all time, and the second highest-grossing animated film of all time.
It also held the title of the highest grossing worldwide opening of all time for an animated film for three years.
