In 2013, Disney’s mega-hit Frozen introduced us to Elsa of Arendelle, a magical, moody, closed-off, and fearful princess of a Nordic kingdom who became queen and immediately (accidentally) set off an eternal winter. She pushed away everyone who loved her, including her own sister, Anna, because she was scared of hurting people with her powers. Instead, she preferred to live alone in a faraway ice castle where she could change her outfits, play with her hair, and strut around as much as she wanted. Sure, she almost killed everyone with her emotions, but she also, ultimately, saved the day with her emotions, learning along the way to embrace what made her different. Oh, there was a talking snowman in the mix too.

In Frozen 2, now in theaters, Elsa’s gained control of her ice powers, but that doesn’t mean she’s comfortable living in royal domesticity. She hears the call of the wild—a woman’s voice singing to her from somewhere out in nature—and longs to once again let it go and strike out on her own for an adventure.

To save the day (again) Elsa pushes away the people who love her (again), changes her hair and her outfit several times, and learns more about what makes her different and special. Also, the talking snowman is back. It’s not a beat-for-beat rehash of the original, but if you came to this review to answer the question of whether or not you’ll like Frozen 2, the answer is, well, did you like Frozen? Because Frozen 2 is more of the stuff that was in Frozen, for better or worse, whatever that means to you. For me, it means it lived up to my expectations. I found Frozen 2 exciting, gorgeous, compelling, and even inspirational.

*Frozen 2*: Everything We Know So Far

If you’ve been singing “Let It Go” since 2013, today is a great day for you: Disney just unveiled a new trailer for Frozen II, and it looks incredible.

Granted, we can’t gather much from this two-minute teaser, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting. It begins with Elsa attempting to use her freezing skills to hop over some ocean waves. Why she’s doing this is a mystery. Disney princesses do whatever they want, damn it!

We then pan to a series of different shots: Elsa’s sister, Anna, looking shocked for…reasons; Kristoff barreling through the forest riding a moose; and Elsa freezing even more things. The movie is called Frozen II, after all. What did you expect?

It ends with the month of the movie’s release: November. So close yet so far!

Check out the trailer for yourself, below:

Much of the film is still shrouded in secrecy, but here’s everything we know so far:

1. The release date. November 22, 2019.

2. The core cast is returning. Kristen Bell (Anna), Idina Menzel (Elsa), Jonathan Groff (Kristoff), and Josh Gad (Olaf) are all reprising their iconic roles.

3. Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown are joining the party as well. They’ll be lending their voices to new characters for Frozen 2, but the specifics are still unknown at this time.

4. The directing dream team is back. Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee are directing Frozen II, with Lee writing the script. (She also wrote the script for the first Frozen.)

5. It will have a signature song à la “Let It Go.” “We have a new song that I think is an evolution,” Lee told Variety last year. There will be a total of four new songs in the movie.

6. The scope of Frozen II will be much bigger. Lee says Anna and Elsa will be going “far out of Arendelle.” But where? Paris? London? The McDonald’s down the street from my apartment? See you there, queens.

7. Elsa will have more fun. “[In Frozen] she had such a dramatic journey, and at the end she’s just starting to feel like she can open up and have some fun again. That’s what was really good about the short—we could have fun with Elsa. And that personality…you will see in the next one,” Buck told Fandango.

8. Kristen Bell’s personal life is reflected in Anna’s character development. “I’ll be able to say more when the movie comes out, but there are a lot of very, very intimate moments for me in this movie that feel like they’re from my real life,” Bell told Sirius XM. “Songs specifically that were like, I just gave her a spiel of why this particular emotion, or this particular hurdle in my life was so important, and what it taught me. And [Lee] slid it seamlessly into the character…. It’s not just episode two of this show. It’s something you need to see them go through, because it affects the audience.”
