Jennifer Lee, co-director of “Frozen” and “Frozen 2,” will not be directing “Frozen 3.” During an interview at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Lee confirmed that she will not be helming the new film. The successor for the director’s role has not been announced yet.
Lee has made significant contributions to Disney with her work on films like “Zootopia” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” where she served as a writer. She is also involved in the upcoming film “Wish,” starring Chris Pine and Ariana DeBose. Although she won’t be directing “Frozen 3,” Lee will remain involved in an advisory capacity.
Regarding the progress of “Frozen 3,” Lee remained tight-lipped. She expressed confidence that the new director would be able to carry on the franchise successfully. She mentioned, “I can’t say where we are with Frozen 3. All our stories are driven by the artists in the studio. Where we’re going with Frozen did not come from me. It came from an incredible person. That’s a new piece, I’ve told no one. And I’ve been blown away by it, and I’m just having a blast with that team.”
While Lee will continue to offer guidance, she acknowledged that there are others at the studio who possess a deep understanding of the franchise and are ready to take on leadership roles. She emphasized the collective ownership of the films by the studio’s artists, saying, “They kinda own them as much as anyone else.” However, Lee didn’t rule out the possibility of directing in the future, especially at Disney. She shared, “I know someday I want to be a filmmaker again. I’m old but I’m not that old! I’ve only done two films, and I do believe there’s a time—I’ll know it—but there’s a time when you give everything you can and then you make room for innovation of the next person. I can’t imagine anywhere but Disney.”
The release date for “Frozen 3” has not been announced yet. It is expected that Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez will return to contribute their musical talents to the third installment, just as they did for the previous films.
