Looks like we’re once again heading into the unknown. Into the unknown. Into the unknoooowwwnnnn! Ahem, apologies dear readers, we got excited for a moment. After years of feverish speculation, Disney has finally dropped the first major details for Frozen 3 at tonight’s showcase at D23 in California.
It’s been nearly eight years since Elsa and Anna last ventured into the unknown, but we’re finally beginning to discover where they’re heading next, having already dramatically expanded the Arendelle mythology, managed to ride across the ocean, answering some of the biggest questions about Elsa’s powers while leaving plenty more behind. Well, it sounds like some questions may be answered but even more will be left in their wake.
There’s love in the air in Arendelle this time around as Anna and Kristoff prepare for their wedding and honeymoon. Even Olaf is getting in on the act, with a new love interest called Samantha. Gad even sang a ballad about her on stage, while Bell and Menzel introduced the presentation by singing ‘Frozen Heart’. We see an aurora in the sky, a snowflake falls into the frame and we follow it into a field outside Arendelle. It becomes a block of ice and nearly hits Elsa, while the sisters’ dresses are exquisite at the ceremony. Finally, we see a new witch, clad in black and it sure sounds like Greta Lee.
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner
🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
What Can We Expect from ‘Frozen 3’?
Frozen 3 co-director Jennifer Lee had actually been excited about the direction of the story long before audiences knew what it was. Discussing the project back in 2023, she revealed that working with the creative team had left her “blown away.”
“Every morning last week they carved out space for me to work with the creative team on it, and I am blown away and I am so excited.”
Gad also felt that the film might reach new heights for the franchise. “It’s the funniest of the three movies I’ve ever recorded,” Gad said while appearing on Good Morning America in June, adding that there are “some unbelievable developments” coming in the sequel.
Meanwhile, the two individuals most responsible for ruining your life if you have young children are also pretty excited about it. Songwriter Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who is returning alongside Robert Lopez after creating songs including “Let It Go” and “Into the Unknown,” previously told Collider that Disney gave the pair an early indication of what was being planned:
“They told us, the day of, and a little bit about what they’re thinking. It got us very excited.”
Frozen 3 will be released in theaters on November 24, 2027. Frozen 4 is also in development.
