Disney will release this Friday The Princess and The Frog (which is why our name has changed again). They had a film called King of The Elves set for November 2012, but story problems have delayed it to 2013. What'll take it's place?
The Snow Queen, that's what.
The Snow Queen was mentioned as early in 2004, when Diseny Animation was going all CGI after the bombs off Atlantis and Home on The Range. The Snow Queen actually would've followed 2010's CGI musical Rapunzel. However, the new head of Disney Animation (John Lasster) entered and stopped all the projects coming out until that point in their tracks.
I love this idea, and the fact that it will be in 2D like The Princess and The Frog shows Disney is coming back better than ever.
Plus, Disney has a project slated for 2013/2014: Joe Jump. This was another CGI project that was cancelled, but John loves the idea, so he's giving it a retool, a la' Bolt.
This makes me feel much better about Disney Animation. Story comes first. Then, your dolls and such can come rolling in.
Oh, and finally, someone else has joined that 2010 production of Rapunzel. Donna Muprhy will voice the witch in the film. Nice cast choice.
