![]() Pre 2003 visual development for Disney's Snow Queen by Carol Kieffer Police Supposedly the reason why that project is gaining momentum is because of the runaway success (and synergistic opportunities) of ABC's Sunday night series " Once Upon a Time ," which features Rumpelstiltskin as the show's main villain. Our guess is that "Frozen" will be a computer generated feature (released in 3D, naturally), and that the next traditionally animated Disney feature will be " The Name Game ," a quirky take on the Rumpelstiltskin tale being readied (in secret) by Ron Clements and John Musker. In the meantime, here's an interesting tidbit buried in one of the release articles I thought I should bring to light and clear up any issues about (as far as I can for now anyway): Casting the lead is a big bit of concrete. Since so many things change day to day in development it's really no wonder they remain so quiet - even if they're incredibly busy - until they have something well and truly concrete. With a release date set for November 2013 (a Winter/Christmas release would be perfect for this) time's a-tickin' on getting the elements in place, though I did read a vague post about the theatrical release now being planned for "sometime in 2014". Īlan Menken ( The Little Mermaid and Beauty & the Beast) was working on the music before it was last put on hold and there has been no official word on that either continuing or changing. Directed by Chris Buck ( Surf’s Up ), the film is being produced by John Lasseter and Peter Del Vecho. She is also set to provide the speaking and singing voice as the lead in Disney’s upcoming animated feature Frozen. Bell will be singing too, confirming this will indeed be a musical as originally planned. Pre 2003 visual development for Disney's Snow Queen by Carol Kieffer Police I just hope they keep some of the classic tale structure intact (and please keep the robber girl and the reindeer!). Considering how complex the tale is there is plenty of room for unique creative interpretation. If it is the case that the lead is the Snow Queen character (ie the story is her story or from her POV), then the Disney version will be very different story from the Hans Andersen fairy tale we all know and love. I can't find an official or even "in development" IMDB page for Disney's Frozen or Snow Queen so until we get a proper quote it's all speculation. I'm guessing they've inferred this from the one sentence announcement, rather than Ms Bell confirming her lead role is actually the Snow Queen herself. ![]()
