Disney announced official plans Thursday to produce a sequel to _Frozen_, [reports _Variety_](http://variety.com/2015/biz/news/disney-announces-frozen-2-1201451480/). The 2013 box-office smash took in over $1 billion worldwide and became the highest-grossing animated film of all time, as well as inspiring thousands of wintry-themed birthday parties and stirring little kids ([and goats](http://time.com/3735227/goat-dressed-as-elsa-frozen/)) to dress up as their favorite ice queen Elsa on Halloween. In fact, _Frozen_ pretty much [took over everyone’s lives](http://time.com/101114/7-ways-frozen-has-taken-over-your-life/). So now the world needs to prepare to get _Frozen_ over once again. _Read next:_ [_Here’s a Baby Goat Dressed Up as Elsa From_ ](http://time.com/3735227/goat-dressed-as-elsa-frozen/?iid=time%5Freadnext)[Frozen](http://time.com/3735227/goat-dressed-as-elsa-frozen/?iid=time%5Freadnext) ### See the Concept Art for Frozen  Elsa Disney  Elsa Disney  Elsa Disney  Anna Disney  Anna Disney  Anna Disney  Kristoff Disney  Kristoff Disney  Hans Disney  Hans Disney  Olaf Disney  Olaf Disney  Sven Disney  Troll Disney  The Duke of Weselton Disney  Elsa's Ice Palace Disney  Arendelle Disney ### 11\. Alex Boyé (Africanized Tribal Cover) Ft. One Voice Children’s Choir Simply perfection. If you haven’t had this on loop for at least 48 hours straight, you’re doing it wrong. ### 10\. Christina Bianco If you’ve ever wondered how “Let It Go” would sound like if Britney Spears or Adele sang it, then Bianco is your one stop shop. ### 9\. Annelise Forbes This girl is only nine years old. I repeat, this girl is only nine years old. ### 8\. Mitch Grassi When he’s not moonlighting as Elsa, Mitch is part of the popular acapella group Pentatonix. ### 7\. Mr. Freeze This is just straight-up the best thing ever. ### 6\. Piano Guys In a most appropriate mashup, the Piano Guys cross “Let It Go” with Vivaldi’s “Winter.” ### 5\. Caleb Hyles Because guys can let it go, too. ### 4\. Jun Sung Ahn Playing violin in the snow. Yep, that’s a thing — a most wondrous thing. ### 3\. Andrew Foy Twelve year old Foy’s folksy rendition is great for unwinding after a long day. ### 2\. Sherlock Best use of Benedict Cumberbatch in a music video goes to this one. (Audio originally sung by Court Clark.) ### 1\. Maddie and Zoe They’re so adorable it hurts. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3742877/disney-announces-frozen-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3742877/disney-announces-frozen-2/"},"headline":"Disney Announces Frozen 2","datePublished":"2015-03-12T18:11:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T05:05:05.784Z","description":"Apparently Disney can't let it go","url":"https://time.com/3742877/disney-announces-frozen-2/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7e132f43524b05e8/69877738f887dc0e4ce893c1/frozen-elsa-still.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7e132f43524b05e8/69877738f887dc0e4ce893c1/frozen-elsa-still.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Elsa the Snow Queen from Disney's \"Frozen.\"","caption":"Elsa the Snow Queen from Disney's \"Frozen.\"","creditText":"AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3742877/disney-announces-frozen-2/","name":"Disney Announces Frozen 2"}}]}] ```
