Disney announces third Frozen film is on the way as first look at sequel is revealed

Frozen 3 has been confirmed to be on the way by Disney.

Disney made the announcement at D23, the company's expo in California where it outlines its entertainment slate for the coming two years.

The news was hardly surprising, with the first film being a cultural juggernaut, and Frozen 2 making almost $1.5 billion at the box office.

As if announcing a third film was on the way wasn't enough, Disney also hinted that a fourth film was in the works.

This is due to Disney stating that they may need two films to answer the multitude of questions asked in Frozen 2.

The third film is set to release in 2027.

One fan reacted to the news by saying: "Another goated trilogy in the making Disney about have trilogies on trilogies."

Another adorably said: "This movie will come out when my daughter is almost 18. She has loved these movies since she was a little girl! This is crazy!"

A third took the news as a sign. They tweeted: "Is Disney back?"

This was the third massive sequel of the night announced, with Incredibles 3 and Toy Story 5 also being confirmed to be in the works by Disney.

This led to a number of jokes by fans at Disney's expense, with one tweeting: "FROZEN 50 will now be released in 2099."

Another tweeted: "The kids will be so happy! Parent, maybe not so much…. It’s me, I’m the parent."

A third said: "2027???"
