Disney?s upcoming animated feature Frozen just landed an additional director.? The Mouse House announced today that Jennifer Lee will be joining Chris Buck (Tarzan) as co-director on the princess movie.? Kristen Bell?voices a young dreamer named Anna who teams up with ?a daring mountain man? to find the Snow Queen (Idina Menzel) and put an end to a spell that has trapped their kingdom in eternal winter.? The film harkens back to some of Disney?s earlier, more music-centered films as it will feature original songs from Robert Lopez (The Book of Mormon) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (In Transit).
Lee has already contributed to the screenplay for Frozen, so it appears she?s been involved with the project for a while.? She most recently was credited as one of the screenwriters for Disney?s Wreck-It Ralph, so hopefully she can bring some of the humor and heart of that film over to Frozen.? Hit the jump to read the press release.? The film opens in 3D on November 27, 2013.
Here?s the press release:
BURBANK, Calif. (November 29, 2012)?? Walt Disney Animation Studios (WDAS) taps Jennifer Lee to join Chris Buck at the helm of its 53rd?full-length animated feature ?Frozen,? which is slated for the big screen on Nov. 27, 2013. Lee, who has contributed to the film?s screenplay, is one of the screenplay writers of this year?s hit arcade-hopping adventure ?Wreck-It Ralph.?
Featuring the voices of Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel,??Frozen? is the coolest comedy-adventure ever to hit the big screen. 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.
Buck directed (with Kevin Lima) Disney?s 1999 high-swinging feature ?Tarzan,? which won an Oscar? and a Golden Globe? for Best Music/Original Song (Phil Collins? ?You?ll Be in My Heart?). He directed (with Ash Brannon) 2007?s Oscar-nominated ?Surf?s Up? for Sony Pictures Animation.?His credits?within?animation also include 1989?s ?The Little Mermaid,? ?The Rescuers Down Under? (1990) and ?Pocahontas? (1995).
