The team that introduced Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and the song that you cannot escape from will soon be back with a sequel to "Frozen."

Disney made a lot of fans happy with their announcement last March that "Frozen 2" is in the pipeline and is expected to return to the big screen before 2018.

John Lassiter, Disney's Chief Creative Officer, said they enjoyed making the movie so much that they are taking fans back to that world.

"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," Lassiter announced. "We are so excited about that."

Unfortunately, that is all that Lassiter had to say about the movie and as always, Disney has been characteristically quiet on what fans could expect from "Frozen 2."

But fans are not letting a little secrecy stop them from formulating their own theories on what "Frozen 2" will be about. According to some reports, the strong bond between Anna and Elsa were surprising considering they were separated at such an early age, so fans are hoping that the sequel will touch on this.

Of course, everyone wants to know how Elsa discovered her powers and how the two sisters' relationship will progress.

Stars, Idina Menzel (Elsa), Kristen Bell (Anna), Josh Grad (Olaf) and Jonathan Groff (Kristoff) are reportedly back on board and will reprise their beloved characters.

In other good news, the 34-year-old Grad's Olaf will be getting more screen time, as fans hearts have apparently melted for the lovable snowman.

Eva Bella, the talented 13-year-old who lent her voice to the young Elsa, is also back and has excitedly shared that she has been going to the studio regularly to record.

"Frozen 2" is expected to blow audiences away once more when it opens in theaters on Nov. 21, 2018.
