It feels like Disney is pulling all the strings to break all kinds of records for the first time in ages. Equipped with many exciting updates for its upcoming projects, Frozen III was also able to take a first look at the concept drawings.
Frozen is one of Disney’s most popular animated franchises. It is also incredibly profitable, having grossed $2.76 billion at the worldwide box office and won two Oscars. The first film premiered in 2013, the sequel followed six years later in 2019, and became the highest-grossing animated film of all time with $1.45 billion. That record was broken this year with Inside Out 2but luckily Disney confirmed Frozen III happening, giving him a chance to reclaim his title. In addition, it is keeping fans engaged as it revealed concept art for the upcoming third chapter at D23.
