"Making Today a Perfect Day" (2015) Frozen is a Disney media franchise started by the 2013 American animated feature film Frozen, which was directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, screenplay by Lee and produced by Peter Del Vecho, music score by Christophe Beck, and songs written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.In November 2014, TheStreet.com explained that "Frozen is no longer a movie, it's a global brand, a larger than life franchise built around products, theme parks and sequels that could last into the next century"."[11] In June, Lee confirmed that chief creative officer John Lasseter had expressly granted her and Buck the freedom to explore whatever they were "passionate about": "We don't know what it is yet ... We're actually going to start from scratch.[46][47] Additionally, Disney Mobile released a match-three game titled Frozen: Free Fall for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and PlayStation 4 platforms.It takes place in the kingdom of Arendelle and closely follows the original story of the film, in which players can team up with Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Hans, Olaf, Pabbie, and Sven to match puzzles with the help of each character's special power-ups.[53] In the world builder game Disney Magic Kingdoms, during a limited time 2016 Event focused on Frozen were included Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, Sven, and Hans as playable characters, along with some attractions based on locations of the film.[54] In another limited time 2019 Event focused on Frozen 2, were included Ryder, Honeymaren, and Fire Spirit as playable characters, along with some attractions based on locations of the sequel.A world based on Frozen, "Arendelle" appears in the 2019 crossover video game Kingdom Hearts III, with the cast of the film reprising their voice roles.Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff are present in their Frozen 2 designs in the video game Disney Dreamlight Valley, where the player meets them during the progress of the story.The conclusion of the show's third season finale, "There's No Place Like Home", revealed a new storyline that would incorporate elements from Frozen, centering on the arrival of Elsa, after the urn that contained her was accidentally thrust into a time-traveling portal from the fairytale world to present-day Storybrooke, Maine.It featured interviews with some of the cast and the creative team of the film, footage from Norway that inspired the look of Frozen, announcements of what is next for the franchise, and a preview of Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff's appearance in Once Upon a Time.The program, which lasts about 3 hours, features a yule log burning in Arendelle Castle's fireplace while Kristoff, Olaf and Sven make appearances.[91] Teased during the airing The Making of Frozen: Return to Arendelle, the 21-minute special received a limited time[92] theatrical release, premiering in theaters with Pixar's Coco on November 22, 2017, and made its television debut on ABC on December 14 the same year.[113]: 45:40 In an October 2014 interview, Thomas Schumacher, the president of Disney Theatrical Group, disclosed that discussions about a musical had begun even before the film was released almost a year earlier."[114] On 13 February 2015, Schumacher issued a terse statement confirming that the songwriters were working on the show and that Lee would be writing the "book" of the stage version (the musical equivalent of a script), then stressed that "no other staffing or dates have been announced".[117] At that time, Disney also confirmed that several additional people were now part of the musical's creative team, including Timbers as director, as well as Stephen Oremus, Peter Darling, Bob Crowley, and Natasha Katz."[112]: 4, 22 In March 2014, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Disney had sold almost 500,000 Anna and Elsa dolls, with a 5,000 limited-edition run selling out online in only 45 minutes in January."[134] By mid-April, U.S. consumer demand for Frozen merchandise was so high that resale prices for higher-quality limited-edition Frozen dolls and costumes had skyrocketed past $1,000 on eBay, both Disney and its licensees had arranged for air freight to rush fresh inventory to retailers besieged by desperate parents, and some of those parents had begun publicly venting their frustration through social media outlets such as the Disney Store's Facebook page.[155] Advertising Age reported at the start of September that the Frozen brand would be expanding soon to even more kinds of products, such as backpacks, fruit, juice, yogurt, bandages, and oral care.[156] On October 9, 2014, Iger acknowledged at a conference on new media in San Francisco that demand for Frozen costumes "has been crazy since the movie came out, crazier than we ever anticipated, because, who knew?[165] The New York Times reporter Binyamin Appelbaum compared Disney's spectacular success with the Frozen merchandise brand to the pharmaceutical industry, in the sense that the actual consumer of the product is usually not the person who is stuck with the bill: "After all, who wants to say no to their princess?[172] By the beginning of March, wait time was reportedly as long as four or five hours to see Anna and Elsa, which fueled outside speculation about whether Disney Parks would respond with additional Frozen-specific attractions.Hosted by Olaf (Josh Gad) the show celebrates the winter season with several holiday-themed segments, featuring scenes from Frozen, Toy Story, Bambi, Fantasia, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Prep & Landing, Secret of the Wings, Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Melody Time, Lady and the Tramp, Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas, and various
