Disney has made animated movies out of nearly all the classic fairy tales, but one of the few remaining ones is The Snow Queen. For over a decade the studio has been thinking about making a film of the story, with the project cancelled and reanimated numerous times. Last we heard (back in March 2010), they’d taken it off the table, but now it appears it back on, has been given the title Frozen and will hit cinemas November 2013.
Initially there was some confusing over whether Frozen was the title for Pixar’s planned dinosaur movie, which had been given that release date. However it now appears the dinos are moving to another date and The Snow Queen is in. Bleeding Cool is reporting that the movie will be handdrawn, although this hasn’t been confirmed.
The Snow Queen will be based on Hans Christian Andersen’s lengthy tale about a girl who travels to see the icy title character, in the hope of helping her friend whose heart has become frozen. It’s a great story but may have stumped Disney so far because the original is a strongly Christian allegory, in a way that might seem jarring in a modern mainstream movie.
