Disney has just announced that “Frozen” will hit theaters November 2013. The CG-animated flick will feature the voices of Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel.

From the director of “Tarzan” and “Surf’s Up,” “Frozen” tells the icy tale of Anna and Kristoff. Battling the Snow Queen to escape the eternal winter, the duo set out on a mystical journey through the frigid land.

The film was inspired by the 1845 fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, “The Snow Queen.”

The artwork from the film can be found below. Rumor has it that the film has been a topic of conversation since 2002! Disney is still on the hunt to cast the voice of Kristoff. Any takers?

Rumor has it that the voice behind Woody from the “Toy Story” series will now be playing Walt Disney himself in an upcoming film.

Tom Hanks contributed to the $2 billion success of the “Toy Story” franchise for Walt Disney Studios and they hope to have him onboard for “Saving Mr. Banks.”

The film will follow Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) on the journey of making “Marry Poppins.”

The actor who cried for Wilson in “Castaway” will join Emma Thompson in telling the story behind “Marry Poppins.” Audiences will realize that the making of this film was much more than a spoonful of sugar for Walt Disney.
