Disney•Pixar’s Upcoming Dinosaur Film To Be Titled ‘Frozen’ UPDATE: ‘Frozen’ Is The New Title For ‘The Snow Queen’

UPDATE: /Film bring word that ‘Frozen’ is in fact a Walt Disney Animation release, a project formerly known as ‘The Snow Queen’ - an adaptation of author Hans Christian Andersen’s 1845 fairy-tale.  It seems that the confusion came as the Dinosaur project originally had the November 27th, 2013 date.

The project has been in development at the mouse house off and on for at least a decade, originally shelved in late 2002, Glen Keane infamously quit the project in 2003, and the film was put on hold again in March 2010. When the project was last in development, it was set to be Disney’s next hand drawn animated film after The Princess and The Frog.

In August Disney•Pixar announced two upcoming films to follow ‘Brave’ (June 22, 2012) and the ‘Monsters Inc’ prequel, ‘Monsters University’ (June 21, 2013). The first film, a contemporary-set pic featuring dinosaurs, to be directed by Bob Peterson (co-director/writer, “Up;” writer, “Finding Nemo”), now has a title in ‘Frozen.’ The movie asks the question, “What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct?” ‘Frozen’ is scheduled for release November 27th, 2013.

The second flick will directed by Pete Docter (“Up,” “Monsters, Inc.”), it’s described as follows, “Pixar takes audiences on incredible journeys into extraordinary worlds: from the darkest depths of the ocean to the top of the tepui mountains in South America; from the fictional metropolis of Monstropolis to a futuristic fantasy of outer space. The inventive new film will take you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind.” This project is set for release May 30th, 2014. Expect more ‘Frozen’ related news soon.
