‘Frozen’ short to screen before Disney’s ‘Cinderella’

WASHINGTON – The “Frozen” phenomenon is officially an avalanche.

It wasn’t enough to gross $1.3 billion worldwide since its November 2013 release.

It wasn’t enough to win two Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song (“Let it Go”).

And it wasn’t enough for the soundtrack to rank as the top-selling album of 2014.

Now, Disney is releasing a short film called “Frozen Fever,” which will play in theaters before Disney’s live-action “Cinderella,” which arrives in theaters March 13.

The seven-minute short will feature all your favorite characters: Princess Anna (Kristen Bell), Princess Elsa (Idina Menzel), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and the snowman Olaf (Josh Gad).

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of children — and adults — screaming with excitement.
