I hope they don't always make Elsa the conflict in this franchise. I'm super excited though!
I'm a big fan of Pixar and Disney Movies, and the Skylanders games. The Cars franchise and Ratatouille are my favorite Pixar movies. Paperman is my favorite thing to ever come out of Disney! Credit goes to toops for my avatar!
Disney ‘Cinderella’ Soundtrack to Include Free Code for ‘Frozen Fever’ Song Performed by Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell
Confirming earlier reports by Stitch Kingdom, Walt Disney Records today announced that the original motion picture soundtrack for Cinderella (March 13, 2013), will feature both Lily James and Helena Bonham Carter performing covers of ‘A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes’ and ‘Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo’ respectively. The two songs will appear over the end title credits in addition to the original song ‘Strong’ which is performed by Sonna Rele. Walt Disney Records also announced that those who purchase the physical CD edition of the original motion picture soundtrack for Cinderella will also receive a code to download the all-new song from the short Frozen Fever, which was written by Oscar-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez and features the vocal talents of Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell ‘and cast.’
UPDATE: According to additional information we shared yesterday, we would like to advise that the digital release for ‘Make Today A Perfect Day’ from Frozen Fever will not be available for download until March 12, despite the CD being released on March 10. We would also like to take a moment to reiterate that Disney Records has confirmed directly to us that there are no plans in the foreseeable future to release ‘Make Today A Perfect Day’ as a single. As of right now, the physical CD of Cinderella is the only official way to obtain a copy of the Frozen Fever song.
There Probably Won't Be A Proper Sequel To 'Frozen' For Some Time
"Frozen Fever" is a clever name for Disney's short-film follow-up to "Frozen," and not just because the seven-minute mini-movie is built around Elsa having a head cold. In the 16 months since "Frozen" was released in theaters, the animated musical has broken box office records, won two Oscars, sold millions of copies of its soundtrack and spawned enough viral videos to fill two YouTubes. Put it this way: The official trailer for "Frozen Fever" has nearly 18 million views.
"I still can't believe that," co-director Jennifer Lee said to The Huffington Post about the number. "A trailer for a short!" added co-director Chris Buck.
Such is life in the world of "Frozen," which is why Lee and Buck were initially a little intimidated about going back to the fictional kingdom of Arendelle. It was only after the idea to build the short around Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) trying to throw Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell) a birthday party while also battling a head cold that things clicked into place.
"Whatever pressure we had for the future went away a little bit," Buck said of cracking the plot. "We know these characters pretty well. We know what works for them and what doesn't work for them. So at that point it's all about having fun."
Part of their enjoyment came from stretching what audiences might expect from Elsa, who spent most of the first film locked in a kingdom of isolation. In "Frozen Fever," she shows a goofy side that rivals anything Anna did in "Frozen."
"Elsa was much more of a tragic figure in 'Frozen,'" Lee said. "Now she's a lot of fun. Idina loved it. There was a lot of laughing when we recorded her for the song ['Making Today a Perfect Day' from 'Let It Go' writers Robert Lopez and Kristen-Anderson Lopez] and the short."
But while Lee and Buck are thrilled with the finished product -- and Lee is currently writing the book for the forthcoming "Frozen" Broadway musical -- don't expect "Frozen Fever" to become "Frozen 2" any time soon.
"It was really nice to do a short and just get back with these characters who we love without the pressure of having to do a huge sequel," Buck said. "We're going to take a little bit of a break from the 'Frozen' stuff before diving into anything else."
"Frozen Fever" is attached to Disney's "Cinderella," in theaters on March 13.
