There is no denying that Frozen is a big success. It seemed to take over the world from the moment it was released in November 2013. Yes, it has been over a year and the buzz about the Frozen franchise is still going strong. Disney even created an animated short, Frozen Fever, that will show before the live-action Cinderella feature film, which opens in theaters tomorrow.
Will Frozen 2 bring a box office avalanche of earnings or will the icy grip the Frozen franchise has held on us thaw with a full-length sequel?
