Frozen 2 Digital/Blu-ray Release Celebration at Walt Disney Animation Studios

Frozen 2 Celebration

By Melanie Gable

*I attended the “Frozen 2” home entertainment press day at Walt Disney Animation Studios for the purposes of this article. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, CA recently opened its doors to press, bloggers, and content creators to celebrate the in-home release of “Frozen 2,” which will be available on digital February 11 and 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD on February 25. 

During its theatrical run, “Frozen 2” became the highest-grossing animated film of all time, and we had the opportunity meet with creators, artists, and talent behind the movie, as well as preview some of the bonus features included on the in-home release. (Full list of features at the end of this article.)

Bonus Feature Screenings

Our day began with a light breakfast in the Caffeine Patch, the studios’ central gathering spot/coffee bar, which was decked out with “Frozen 2” concept art and photo ops. A small stage with a piano and pair of microphones was set up near the center of the space, so we anticipated there might be a surprise performance in store for us that day!

After breakfast we were ushered into a small screening room, where we were treated to a viewing of several of the bonus features on the in-home release, including some funny recording booth outtakes from Kristen Bell (Anna), Idina Menzel (Elsa), Jonathan Groff (Kristoff), and Josh Gad (Olaf). 

Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Bobby Lopez, the Oscar-winning songwriters of “Frozen” and “Frozen 2,” were the stars of the next featurette and shared insight into their creative process. (One anecdote told by the couple revealed that the first draft lyrics of “When I Am Older” was written while Anderson-Lopez was ice skating!) Anyone wondering how songs are incorporated into the story—and vice versa—of a Disney animated film can find out more on the “Meet the Lopezes” digital exclusive. 

We also watched a storyboarded version of one of the deleted songs from the film, “I Wanna Get This Right,” in which Kristoff attempts to propose to Anna. The song was ultimately cut because it didn’t fit into the final story, but this goofy gem of a musical number is just one example of some of the great material that sometimes ends up on the cutting room floor, but can thankfully be shared in bonus features. 

Two deleted scenes—“Secret Room” and “A Place of Our Own”—also never found a place in the final film, but revealed more about Anna and Elsa’s parents, and even made some of us a bit misty-eyed. 

These were just a sampling of the bonus features audiences can check out on the “Frozen 2” in-home release.

Frozen 2 Family Night Out

Frozen 2 Family Night Out

By Erin

We had a magical all-day Frozen 2 celebration courtesy of Disney! It is always fun to go out to the theater with family, but it was even more magical by adding some fun things to do first related to the movie.

First, my mom and I had our hair braided at The Dry Bar in Huntington Beach. Elsa and Anna both have such beautiful braids in the Frozen films, so how fun would it be to get in the spirit and ready to see Frozen 2 than going out to get your own Elsa or Anna styled braids?

We were treated to some mimosas and the wonderful ladies who braided our hair used to actually work at Disney doing all of the Princesses hair! That just seemed to make the morning a little more magical. I love how my braids turned out! What do you think?

My moms hair isn’t very long. She had cancer and her hair is just starting to grow back. We were unsure if they would be able to braid it or not, but they were able to make a cute little braid for her! My mom loved it!

Then we went and got my niece ready to go. Her eyes lit up when she saw her special Elsa princess dress that was JUST for her. This is her first princess dress and I don’t think it will be her last. lol 😉

When she first put on the dress, she was holding her dress like a princess. lol

Then she wanted to practice her Elsa moves! How cute is that?

I think she likes her Princess Elsa dress.
