The World of Frozen

The official logo for Frozen
     Looks like Disney is slowly releasing more and more material for their next animated film, Frozen. First came the official logo with the news that Jennifer Lee was coming onto the film as co-director. Jennifer helped write Wreck-It Ralph and Frozen and is now joining Chris Buck as director. Very interesting move and I wonder why Disney decided to make that change.

     Next, Disney released the first official concept art image. Very beautiful and magical, also showcasing the two leads Anna and Kristoff. As you can see Anna has light reddish blond hair and Kristoff has blond hair. These character models are pretty close to the models I saw at the D23 convention.

     IMDB also listed some very interesting casting news. They reported that actor Josh Gad was to voice Olaf and that Johnathan Groff was rumored to play Kristoff. Josh Gad recently voiced the character Louis in Ice Age 4, so if you want to get and idea at what Olaf might sound like check that film out. Johnathan Groff is an amazing singer best known for his role as Jesse St James on the TV show Glee. However none of this casting has been confirmed, IMDB normally knows what's going on in the film business.

So what do you think about all the Frozen casting news and photos? I personally think this film is coming along amazingly and will turn out to be one of Walt Disney Animation Studios finest films. If you haven't already, check out their latest film Wreck-It Ralph. This was my favorite animated film of the year and I can't recommend it enough! What was your favorite?
