The Frozen director spoke with Tricia Tuttle, head of directing fiction at the National Film and Television School.
“Every morning last week, they carved out space for me to work with the creative team on it, and I am blown away and I am so excited… I don’t know what I’m doing on it yet — I’m not doing nothing — except doing what I do now, which is we work on every project as as team and I’m in there with creative. But with Frozen, just a little bit more.”

Frozen 3 Cast and Crew
While Jennifer Lee did not give details about the plot of Frozen 3, she stated, “Our philosophy is this, and it won’t change: If there is more story to tell, the filmmakers have to drive it. And I’ll say with Frozen, Marc Smith, who was our director of story on Frozen 2, came with an incredible idea for more Frozen, and it’s worth it.”

Although it has not been officially confirmed that the entire cast of Frozen will be returning, it may be a safe bet. It’d be hard to imagine Disney fans accepting someone other than Idina Menzel as Queen Elsa, Kristen Bell as Princess Anna, or Josh Gad as Olaf. Likewise, it seems likely to expect Sven and Kristoff to return as well.
