Disney has issued release dates for a slew of major films including Frozen 2, the sequel to the barnstorming first instalment which is the highest-grossing animated movie of all time.
27 November, 2019 is when it is scheduled to open in cinemas, exactly six years after Frozen bowed.
The long wait between films is, in part, down to Disney desperately wanting the sequel to live up to the hype.
"As with Pixar, when we do a sequel, it is because the filmmakers who created the original have created an idea that is so good that it's worthy of these characters," executive producer John Lasseter said in 2015, adding that the directors of Frozen had "come up with a great idea for a sequel and you will be hearing a lot more about it, and we're taking you back to Arendelle."
Co-director Chris Buck acknowledged how much is riding on the sequel, commenting: "How do we live up to the phenomenon of the first one? There's a lot of pressure. And we'll put that on ourselves too; we'll be very demanding about how good this one has to be."
Kristen Bell meanwhile, the voice of Anna, has said that the script for Frozen 2 "exudes quality".
Frozen is currently the ninth highest-grossing film of all time, having peaked at number five.
