My inner fangirl is screaming right now. I found out about Frozen going to Broadway about a week ago, which I was all excited about. However, now they're saying that it's going to feature the voice talents of Josh Gad (Olaf), Idina Menzel (Elsa) and Jonathan Groff (Kristoff). I could die of happiness right now... But wait! There's more! With the success of the movie, I figured there was a possibility of a sequel but I didn't think it would be announced anytime soon. Well, they just announced it! THERE WILL BE A FROZEN SEQUEL. Here's the article: Disney's 'Frozen' is Heading to Broadway and Getting a Sequel!So what do you think of this? Do you think they should have left it as it was and not have a stage production/sequel? Do you have anything you would really want to see in the sequel? What do you think the main story will be?

*2 months after this thread was created*
If they had a Frozen sequel, I think a good plot would be like Elsa is shot at with a fireball, and she puts her hands up defensively, meaning to do some sort of ice magic, but it doesn't work, and it burns her hands. Slowly after her hands are burned, she realizes that her hair is turning black, and she has lost her ice magic. Now it's up to Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf to try and get it back.
(This is an idea from an RP that someone else and I are doing on MLK.)

I've always been curious to see a fire vs ice battle.
It would be interesting to see Elsa actually use her powers in combat with her newfound levels of control. I imagine she could find ways to fight without actually harming someone (much!) now that she's mastered her abilities.
I wonder if Idina Menzel will play the reallife Elsa? All it said is she's lending her vocal talents to the production.
I'm surprised they announced a sequel so soon though. It usually takes a long time before a movie is determined to be sequel worthy, unless it's a flagship product (which Frozen is not).
So this announcement means they must have a high degree of faith in the product to start work immediately. Mind you, we probably won't see it for a while, as CGI movies take a while to make. But around half of that time is taken up with simulations and writing new software. Since they've already done that, I imagine production time on the sequel can be halved.
I'm just hoping they don't overdo it too much, Shrek has been getting sequels "for the sake of having sequels" and the quality has suffered greatly as a result.

I'm pretty sure that "GETTING A SEQUEL" in that link you gave us is a joke (not sure). Frozen 2 hasn't even been being discussed at the Disney studio, and there's a possible chance the film might not get a sequel (I heard Disney rarely makes sequels). But I hope there will be one, and if there's really a Frozen 2, I'm going to scream in exciteness.

But I hope there will be one, and if there's really a Frozen 2, I'm going to scream in exciteness. I doubt that, with this success in the franchise, the company will miss out on a sequel. They've done plenty for other movies such as Cinderella (which apparently has 3 movies?), Ariel, The Lion King, Bambii, Peter Pan, etc. etc. I'm just afraid that if they do go down this road, I'm afraid it won't be as great as the first. Idk. Sequels are always hard to make. But, I have two theories as to what the new movie (if there is one) would be about. In the "Life's Too Short" deleted scene, Anna talks about a prophecy, stating, "..and I'm the only one who is not 100% convinced the prophecy's you!". I mean, Anna does seem to have extraordinary strength based on her size alone. Could explain her clumsiness, perhaps? Just guessing here but the other one that I would love to see is if Hans made a return. Fire against Ice, yes? While she, Elsa, turns out to be the Ice Queen, what if Hans (or someone else) is the Fire King? Ahh, idk. The plotline is just a mere suggestion

Just guessing here Yeah, buckmana has suggested this theory already and I must say that it is very founded a theory. But I'd rather not see Hans or anyone else with element powers, it just turns out too much like Avatar.

I mean an Ice Queen is enough to have, let alone someone with another power to come in. Nonetheless, I'm anxiously awaiting to read any of the details Disney may give out

The main reason I'd want to see someone else with superpowers is that we know Elsa is far too formidable. It wouldn't be much of a story otherwise. Basically, big bad shows up, does their epic evil monologue while Elsa looks bored, Elsa points, the poor fool ends up encased in ice and blinking in surprise while Anna is getting the guards to drag the invader off to the prison.
But if you don't like the idea of fire vs ice, what about traditional sorcery vs ice powers? Technically, Elsa isn't a sorceress, she's an elemental. They don't have magical powers, although it looks like magic to the uninformed observer.
I am now wondering if Anna's natural clumsiness is due to having a high degree of physical strength. People like this usually have to learn to limit themselves with physical exertion, because if they apply too much force, something unfortunate happens. It could be that Anna never learned to hold back or perhaps her excitable nature means she doesn't know when to stop herself. Witness pulling the arm off the armor suit and throwing the bronze head clean across the room! Not to mention nearly knocking Kristoff unconscious when she throws a sack of carrots at him....... I assuming that was an accident, that she wasn't intentionally intending to knock him out cold.
The one main concern I have with Disney sequels is that they're often direct-to-video releases with poor quality. They're basically trading on the name of the franchise and that's it. Which doesn't work with me, it's got to be a good sequel! Ideally, you should be creating a sequel for cinemas, as a theatrical release has higher quality standards then a direct-to-video version.

One biggest thing I want to see when they decided to make a sequel is to explain how Elsa got the power to control snow/ice/wind. Her parents is just normal humans, even her sister Anna is ordinary, but I'm wondering how Elsa learned to manipulate ice/wind/snow.

I heard something about a cross-over with Jack Frost about how she got the powers, however that's just like some AU or something. Basically it was like, Jack's sister's (who apparently looks like a younger version of Elsa's Mom) first born would be cursed with powers of ice or snow or something
I mean Jack's sister is most likely dead by the time he comes back to life as Jack Frost (I believe) so it would be in the right time period or something.. I don't know. It's a very sketchy idea going around, haha. But I would love an explanation as to what happened in the next movie. It's a great idea.

Very little information on this topic is given in the movie. But when the leader of the Trolls asked her father if Elsa "was born with the powers or cursed?", he answers "Born". That's a pretty strong confirmation that whatever was the cause of her obtaining the power, it was natural or at the very least, not a product of malevolent magic. Realistically, I expect it'll be the kind of story where the origins of her power don't matter, it's more about what she does with them, so they don't ever address the cause because it works against that premise. Or they might explain it in the sequel if they choose to do so. The only other information given is from Spring Pageant, a song that didn't make it into the movie. But this is a recounting of an ancient prophecy, not an explanation in itself. If I had to explain it, this is the kindof story I would write: Elsa's mother (while pregnant with Elsa) was lost in a snow storm and an Ice Sprite (despite the name, they may not be small, they could be as tall as 8 feet or more) wrapped her in their power to keep her warm in the cold and as a result, their power touched Elsa inside, changing her so she recieved their powers. I don't know if there's an actual myth that has Ice Sprites, but I'm visualizing them as tall, thin ice statues. Or at least, they appear to be that until they move and you realize they're actually alive. They might even use this to hide from humans, creating icy formations and blending in with them, so by being stationary, you'd think they were just part of the ice formation. Since Elsa's mother might have seen them in this state and was probably unconscious when they came to her, she'd have no idea they saved her or gave Elsa her power. That would be an interesting plot development, with the Ice Sprites coming to Elsa to either explain what they gave her or to request her help with something. If they wanted to do a plot that didn't involve traditional villianry, they could do a story that the home of the Ice Sprites is melting and dooming them, so they need Elsa whose power of snow and ice works despite the presence of heat to save them.
