Disney's 'Frozen' gets a real-world nature series with original voice cast

Disney is teaming up its animation and nature documentary arms for a new project. Per The Hollywood Reporter, National Geographic and Walt Disney Animation Studios are making 'The Real Frozen', a natural history series inspired by the hit movie.

It's the fourth such adaptation, following series based on 'The Lion King' and 'A Bug's Life'. The show will air on the National Geographic cable channel and be available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

The series will use real footage of animals in Nordic regions to echo the themes of the 'Frozen' films. It will follow creatures surviving in cold climates, highlighting their resilience and social bonds.

The original voice actors are returning to narrate. Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad will voice Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and Olaf, respectively.

'The Real Frozen' aims to blend Disney's characters with National Geographic's documentary style to showcase real-world environments. A producer on the upcoming 'Frozen 3' film called the collaboration a perfect way to explore the real places that inspired the animated world.
