Anna and Elsa appear to be heading through a portal into a world of icy crystal butterflies next year, according to the first trailer for the third installment in the juggernaut Frozen franchise.
Unveiled during Disney’s biennial fan convention D23 in Anaheim on Friday night, the Frozen 3 trailer was presented by Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell.
Frozen 3 is set “far from Arendelle in a frozen land more wild and dangerous,” Menzel said.
The trailer opens with a shot of the northern lights, where a snowflake falls and turns into a butterfly that flies to Arendelle Castle. It collides with Elsa during Anna and Kristoff’s wedding, and a portal opens. They step through it, finding an icy world filled with butterflies and an as-yet faceless new villain with dark hair who has been looking for Elsa.
Josh Gad also appeared on stage at D23 to sing a love song about a new snow woman named Samantha, with Menzel and Bell hinting that every character will have a love interest.
Disney also used D23 to show off the new Anna and Elsa costumes that kids across the globe will be demanding soon, with the ice queen now styled in a purple-blue ombre long-sleeved dress with a blue hooded cape, and the queen of Arendelle in a pleated pink dress and cape with a turquoise undershirt. In the trailer, Queen Anna wears a white wedding dress with flowers embroidered on it while Elsa is in a mauve dress.
The Frozen 3 trailer was revealed just over a year from its release date of Nov 24, 2027. To prepare for the return to Arendelle, you can stream both Frozen movies and multiple Frozen shorts on Disney Plus.
