Screenwriter/Director Lee Joins
Director Chris Buck
with Walt Disney Animation Studios
53rd Full-Length
Animated Feature
In a recent press release Walt Disney Animation
Studios announced that the talented Jennifer Lee would join Chris Buck with the 53rd
full-length animated feature “Frozen". This movie will hit the BIG screen Nov. 27, 2013. Jennifer Lee is one of the
screenplay writers of the current biggie, “Wreck-It
Ralph.” I can't imagine how wonderful this movie will be. The more I hear about the more thrilling it sounds. I hate the thought of having to wait an entire year to see this!
“Frozen”, will be featuring the voices of Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel in a comedy-adventure. When a prophecy traps
a kingdom in eternal winter, Anna, a
fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick
reindeer Sven on an epic journey to
find Anna’s sister Elsa, the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell.
Encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes
and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to
save the kingdom from destruction.
“Frozen” producer Peter Del Vecho says
the match-up is perfect. “Jenn has a real connection to the film and creates
dynamic and relatable characters. Her sense of comedy, adventure and story
structure paired with Chris Buck’s vast experience and incredible instincts
create an ideal situation for this film.”
Lee's screen adaptation
of John Steinbeck’s “The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights” is being
produced by Troika Pictures. She has an original screenplay in development with
Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way, and her original script “Lucid Dreams” was
optioned by Wolfgang Peterson's Radiant Productions. Lee holds an MFA in Film
from Columbia University and a BA in English from the University of New
Hampshire.
With
original songs by Tony®-award winner Robert Lopez (“The Book of Mormon,”
“Avenue Q”) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (“In Transit”), “Frozen” journeys into theaters Nov. 27,
2013, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters. For more information, like us
