"Frozen" audiences are invited to join the act—literally—as more than 1000 theaters nationwide introduce an all-new sing-along version of Disney's Oscar®-nominated, Golden Globe®-winning big-screen adventure beginning Jan. 31, 2014.
"'Frozen' fans have embraced the film's original songs and its soundtrack with such passion—there are countless YouTube videos from people singing songs like 'Let It Go'—we decided to create a version that would celebrate that enthusiasm," said Dave Hollis, executive vice president, theatrical distribution, The Walt Disney Studios. "It's a great opportunity for families to get together and have some fun with these songs."
According to Hollis, on-screen lyrics and a magical bouncing snowflake will accompany select showings; moviegoers can check local listings for showtimes and theaters. The duration of the sing-along run will vary by theater.
Disney's "Frozen" received two Oscar® nominations, including best animated feature and best original song ("Let It Go"). Named best animated film by more than a dozen critics associations, the film won a Golden Globe® for best animated feature, two Critics Choice Movie Awards, including best animated feature and best song ("Let It Go"), and a Producers Guild of America Award for outstanding animated feature.
In wide release since November 27, the film posted the No. 1 all-time Thanksgiving debut and the largest opening ever for a Walt Disney Animation Studios film. "Frozen," WDAS' 53rd feature film, has earned more than $773 million worldwide, including $337` million domestically. The film's soundtrack was No. 1 in the Billboard top 200 for two straight weeks.
At Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre, the "Frozen" sing-along version includes on-stage appearances from the movie's Elsa prior to each showing, plus snow flurries inside the theater. Showtimes are at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
On Digital HD & 3D Feb. 25 and Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD & On-Demand March 18, the in-home version of "Frozen" promises continued family fun with a blizzard of never-before-seen bonus extras to complement the film's gorgeous animation, memorable characters and unforgettable music.
