From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

Disney has confirmed that there will be a follow up to the hugely popular Oscar-winning children's film Frozen.

John Lasseter, the chief executive of Walt Disney Animation Studios, made the announcement at the company's annual shareholders meeting in San Francisco, California.

Since its US release in November 2013, Frozen has made nearly $1.3 billion (£900m) at the global box office alone, and generated a massive merchandising revenue stream.

As well as making big bucks, the film also received prestigious industry recognition when it received Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Song for 'Let It Go'.

Actor Josh Gad is going to return to play Olaf, Huffington Post reported.

And while no release date or production details were made public, Walt Disney chief executive Bob Iger said directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee will return for the sequel.

It was also announced that a Frozen short is to play in front of Disney's latest release, Cinderella.
