During my recent interview with Frozen Directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, I came to realize none of us have really ‘let it go’. It’s been over a year since the Disney animated mega blockbuster was brought into the hearts of girls and boys worldwide. Just when we thought we were letting it go Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee are back at it again with the adorable animated short Frozen Fever being exclusively shown in front of Cinderella in theaters March 13th.Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf back for Anna’s birthday and Elsa and Kristoff are planning to give her a huge celebration until Elsa catches a cold and everyone is at risk.
I don’t know about you, but getting to interview the directors of Frozen was like EPIC for me. I mean, it’s because of Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck I am able to have the memory of my son belting out a theatrical performance in the shower. It’s funny how they have a hand in my daily life and they don’t even know it.
The Frozen fever Featurette with Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee:
It’s no secret, Disney’s Frozen is the fifth highest grossing film of all time and the highest grossing animated film earning more than $1.27 billion globally. We’ve all been a part of the craze. Even our little boys are singing “Let it Go”, I know mine is. This Christmas season we saw Frozen on just about anything you could print it on, and we bought the crap out of it. So, it seems like only a natural transition to make Frozen Fever. After seeing Frozen Fever at the Hollywood red carpet World Premiere of Cinderella, I can tell you, you’re all going to have the fever.

Buck: I still buy shirts at TJ Max. Hasn’t changed…
Lee: I still find myself going “I have to buy another dress?”. So yeah. So nothing’s changed, really.
Buck: It’s been overwhelming, the year. We still get Youtube sent to us. I mean, I got one just yesterday…It’s actually very funny. Um, so I just, It’s been overwhelming. It really has. Starting with the Reddit… Round table. Reddit round table is where a woman wrote in saying, um, that she was, uh, in a bad place and was gonna commit suicide, and saw Frozen and inspired by Elsa and, and her journey, and she said, and I’m still here. Thank you. So, you know, we’re overwhelmed by that.
There are autistic kids that watch Frozen that parents tell us they hadn’t… They don’t sit still for anything, and they watch Frozen, and they relate to Olaf. Um, just a few weeks ago, uh, a friend of ours working at a nursing home, and a senior citizen just, she wasn’t really [STAMMERS] She sort of internal and not doing much. And she watched Frozen. And
