Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios John Lasseter broke the sequel news in a statement. “We enjoyed making Frozen Fever so much and being back in that world with those characters, Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck have 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,” Lasseter said in a statement. “We are so excited about that.”

Josh Gad, who has already signed on to return as snowman Olaf, tweeted after the announcement, “THATS RIGHT. #Frozen2 IS COMING!!!”

He also took to Instagram to share a picture with Lasseter, writing, “Backstage with #JohnLasseter after announcing #Frozen2. As you can see we are not mildly excited.”
