Disney's "Frozen" annouced for November 27, 2013.

[Peter Pirate 2]

Yeah, I think he's actually a producer of the film even though he came on board late.

But I think Pete's point is valid overall -- the quality of Disney's non-Pixar animation has definitely increased since Lasseter and Catmull were put in charge of feature animation.

Agreed, as well but has the quality of Pixar remained at it's peak? I'm thinking not, so the big question is how much longer will Lassiter put up with the corporate crap, especially with Steve now gone???

What??? Objective discussion of the mouse's quality offends you? On the one forum where mild debate is allowed? Starting a thread does not grant ownership and this has been a quality and well behaved discussion. If it's just positive feedback you seek, I wonder what is the point?

This has to have been the most mild discussion I've seen on here. Not to mention the fact that there isn't really much to discuss right now about Frozen other than to say what the OP'er already posted. Either way If you open up 5 threads here in the news and rumors I'd say easily at least 3/5 are very passionate debates that are much worse than what's on here.

Just my $0.02

It depends. I think "Ratatouille," "Wall-E" and "Up" were three of the most daring flicks Pixar has ever done and they were released in a row. "Toy Story 2" and "Cars 2" were clearly meant to grease the marketing machine, even if reviewers enjoyed one film but not the other.

But I'll take the "Cars" and "Toy Story" sequels if they also keep putting out films on the level of "Ratatouille," "Wall-E" and "Up."

Time will tell.

I don't disagree much, in fact there was a time I'd have been adamantly defending your view but as time has gone on I have seen the detriment (at disney) to allowing the sequels and less than quality offerings as they do somehow seem to squash free flowing creativity within. There was a reason Pixar wouldn't do them prior to being gobbled.

Im Sorry about the overeaction, its just that I was posting a bit of news I found and I didnt expect it to turn into a big dicussion about Disney films, this is the first time this has happened to me, so I didn't understand what was going on.

And yes, their isn't much to talk about Frozen, and I now understand why their is a big debate going on, and it could be worse. I don't own this form and shouldn't try to control the conversation.

Please accept my appology flower.

Disney’s ‘Frozen,’ Formerly ‘The Snow Queen,’ Will Be CG Rather Than Hand-Drawn

At the end of last year, Disney announced that a film called Frozen would be the studio’s animated offering for the Holiday 2013 window, and we quickly learned that the film is the latest incarnation of a project once called The Snow Queen, which has been in development for many years.

When Frozen was formally announced, we did not know if it would be a new computer-animated effort, or done with more traditional hand-drawn techniques. Since a previous incarnation of The Snow Queen was meant to be a hand-drawn follow-up to The Princess and the Frog, we hoped Frozen would be hand-drawn.

Disney has confirmed today, however, that Frozen will not be hand-drawn; the movie will be a 3D CG animated feature, and presented in stereoscopic 3D in theaters. A bit more background info is below.

Here’s what Peter wrote a couple weeks back when the title Frozen was announced:

The story is an adaptation of author Hans Christian Andersen’s 1845 fairytale The Snow Queen. The project has been in development at the mouse house off and on for at least a decade, originally shelved in late 2002, Glen Keane infamously quit the project in 2003, and the film was put on hold again in March 2010. When the project was last in development, it was set to be Disney’s next hand drawn animated film after The Princess and The Frog. We don’t know if that is still the case or if it is now a computer animated release.

Alan Menken was working on music for the Snow Queen incarnation of Frozen prior to the movie being put on hold in 2010; we don’t know if his efforts will end up in the final film. Frozen is set to release on November 27, 2013.

It has been revealed that Disney's next animated feature after Wreck-it-Ralph next year will be called "Frozen" and will be an adaption of Han Christan Anderson's story "The Snow Queen". It will be released in theaters on November 27, 2013.

The new film was revealed because of a scheduling conflict with Pixars Untitled Dinosaur Film's release date. The evidence is here: http://http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=85436

The movie was in devolpement for some time now, Im glad its finally getting off the ground, but why did they have to go the Tangled route with the title?

Just two things:

1. It's Hans Christian ANDERSEN - just a thing with me since this was my maiden name and everyone always spelled it with the "son" version.

2. Never start a post with Disney and Frozen in the same sentence. I thought this was going in a completely different story......

It makes me wonder if the Enchanted Snow Palace ride will finally be built....
