Disney Announces A Sequel To ‘Frozen’ Set For Release Next Year

So we knew that Disney would be interesting in putting out a sequel to their mega hit animated movie Frozen but I don’t think anyone expected a sequel to come so quickly … and in this format.The official follow-up to the Frozen movie will be released in book-form in January with a series of more books to follow throughout 2015. While it’s possible (and very likely) that another Frozen animated film will be released sometime in the future, Disney has decided to cash in on the Frozen phenomenon as soon as possible with this new book series.

Random House announced that it is publishing a Frozen chapter-book series aimed at young readers that will continue the story from the 2013 hit Disney movie, which has grossed more than $1 billion at the box office. Anna & Elsa #1: All Hail the Queen and its sequel, Anna & Elsa #2: Memory and Magic, will go on sale Jan. 6, 2015. The first two stories will add more detail to the Frozen world and follow Anna and Elsa as they get to know each other as sisters. Two more books will follow later in the year. Random House plans to publish three or four books a year going forward. The books will be written by Erica David, who has penned licensed books spun off from How to Train Your Dragon, Legend of Korra and Mr. Peabody & Sherman. Random House children’s division president Barbara Marcus compared the new Frozen series to the company’s popular Never Girls series, which is set in Disney’s Neverland. “We have seen our Disney Never Girls series fill a real niche in the chapter book market, and with the momentum for Frozen only continuing to grow, we knew this was the perfect focus for this new series.”

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL! Disney knows a good thing when it sees one...
