THE SNOW QUEEN, or SNEZHNAYA KOROLEVA, poster.Vertical Entertainment by [Nick Holdsworth / The Hollywood Reporter](https://time.com/author/the-hollywood-reporter/) ## Nick Holdsworth / The Hollywood Reporter May 13, 2015 2:19 PM UTC Russia’s successful animated franchise [_The_ _Snow Queen_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cannes-russian-animation-sells-china-704439) is getting a third installment. Producer Wizart Animation has green-lit _The Snow Queen 3_ with a budget of $15 million. An international rollout is slated for 2016. Hollywood voice talent is due to be announced in the fall at AFM, producer Yuri Moskvin said. The voice cast for [_Snow Queen 2_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/afm-russias-snow-queen-2-748172)included Sean Bean (_The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones_) as General Arrog, Sharlto Copley (_Maleficent_, _District 9_, _Elysium_) as troll Orm, [Bella Thorne](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bella-thorne-is-neutrogenas-new-682444) (_Amityville: The Awakening_) as Gerda and Isabelle Fuhrman (_The Hunger Games_) as Alfida. The decision to produce a third movie comes after the success of the first two feature-length cartoons in the franchise by the Moscow- and Voronezh-based animation studio. _The Snow Queen_and _Snow Queen 2_ have reached combined box-office revenue of $25 million, with more international releases due for both films this year. Entertainment One has picked up U.S. and Canadian rights (English- and French-speaking) to the 3D _Snow Queen 2_, with winter 2015 releases scheduled. “With each new project we are trying to go to a whole new level,” Moskvin said. “We are increasing the level of production and marketing, and bringing famous scriptwriters and cast on board.” He added that the original soundtrack for the latest installment of the franchise would be localized for some territories. Wizart will also be shopping other new projects on the Croisette, offering pre-sales for _Urfin and His Wooden Soldiers_ (by Melnitsa Animation) and the company’s own _Sheep and Wolves_. _Snow Queen_, like Disney’s [_Frozen_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/frozen-2-works-disney-confirms-780993), is based on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic children’s tale. _This_ [_article_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/russias-animated-snow-queen-third-795275) _originally appeared on_ [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com)_._ _More from The Hollywood Reporter:_ * [Cannes: Paul Giamatti, John Goodman, Sylvester Stallone Lead Voice Cast of ‘Ratchet & Clank’ (Exclusive)](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cannes-paul-giamatti-john-goodman-795274) * [First-Look at Bill Murray in ‘Rock the Kasbah’ (Exclusive Image)](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/first-look-photo-bill-murray-794955) * [Cannes: Netflix Spreads Fear and Opportunism](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cannes-netflix-spreads-fear-opportunism-795161) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3857079/animation-russian-frozen/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3857079/animation-russian-frozen/"},"headline":"Russia's Animated The Snow Queen Gets Third Installment","datePublished":"2015-05-13T14:19:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:09:48.691Z","description":"International release is set for 2016","url":"https://time.com/3857079/animation-russian-frozen/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4f753995fe72f93d/6987ef8ae20a87a67ea895a6/777801_full.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nick Holdsworth / The Hollywood Reporter"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4f753995fe72f93d/6987ef8ae20a87a67ea895a6/777801_full.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"777801_full","caption":"the-snow-queen-poster","creditText":"Vertical Entertainment","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/3857079/animation-russian-frozen/","name":"Russia's Animated The Snow Queen Gets Third Installment"}}]}] ```
