Disney's "Frozen" is ravaging through the Asian box office as of this writing, and is on course to break animated box office records. Among many reasons, the spectacular animation, specifically the Ice Castle sequence, stands out among the rest.

The intention to make a sequel was confirmed by Celebrity Café, as they quoted Bob Iger:

"Iger expressed how the success of Frozen was a major milestone for the company, helping put them back in a good place both financially and reputation wise. Iger then revealed how he is also focused on bringing more films like Frozen to movie theaters worldwide in hopes of creating a sequel to the widely admired film.

While confirmation and a release date is yet to be known for a sequel, Disney is demanding that it be just as spectacular as the first."

Speaking of spectacular, The Hollywood Reporter had interesting tidbits on how the globally admired movie became a visual masterpiece.

On Elsa's intricate hair movements: "Even though Disney's animators had wrestled with braids for 2011's Tangled, the hair for Elsa was vastly more complicated: While Rapunzel carried 27,000 extra-long strands on her head, the Frozen team found themselves dealing with upward of 400,000 CG threads -- a feat that required the invention of a new program, called Tonic, to execute."

It was worth it! The scene where she lets her hair down while singing "Let It Go" is now one of the most viewed videos-a new iconic scene in animation.

On Olaf The Snowman: "To create Olaf, Disney created software called Spaces, which allowed artists to deconstruct the character -- and rebuild him -- as part of the animation process; and Flourish, which allowed artists to more easily add extra movement, for instance to the twigs on Olaf's head."

That's the Disney spirit of innovation at work! If you can't find the software you need, create it yourself! Olaf is perhaps the top attraction of the film, you can ask the dads who brought their daughters to the theatres on repeat viewings.

About the Ice Castle, Disney's production team needed to have a visual inspiration to imitate. They went all the way to best possible site: The Ice Hotel in Quebec! From Omy.sg: "Several members of the production team travelled to Quebec to experience the Ice Hotel as inspiration for Elsa's ice palace featured in the animation movie. Though the artists were inspired and wowed by the icy architecture, none opted to spend the night in the chilly abode."

They used the same technique to make Sven: "Filmmakers invited a real-life reindeer into the Walt Disney Animation Studios, observing the animal's physical makeup and mannerisms, which were later caricatured in the making of Kristoff's reindeer buddy Sven in the movie."

There are no shortcuts to making a masterpiece. Disney understands this, Thus, the highly anticipated "Frozen" sequel is a long way off. But we can be assured that it will be worth the wait!
