The film is scheduled to hit the screens on November 22. Frozen 2 is the sequel to the hit 2013 Disney film Frozen. Princesses Anna and Elsa are the two main characters in the world of Frozen. In the sequel, the sisters are expected to go on an adventurous journey to discover the origins of Elsa’s magical powers and to save their kingdom.
Actors Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell will be reprising their roles from the first film for the English original. While Idina voiced for Elsa, Kristen did so for Anna.

The song was written and composed by husband-and-wife songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
The film has been directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee.
