Kristen Bell has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Frozen 3 ahead of its release next year.

The 46-year-old American actress voiced the character of Anna in the first two Frozen films, a role she is reprising in the upcoming third movie in the musical animation franchise.

She has now offered fans a glimpse of the production of the next film, posting a photo on Instagram showing her arriving at the Disney Animation Studios building in California with her dog Frank and walking into the building.

Another she posted showed Frank posing in front of Frozen animation drawings of Anna and Idina Menzel’s Elsa.

She captioned the post: “Accompanied by my temporary admin assistant.”

The film will also see Menzel, 55, reprise her role, as will Josh Gad, who voices the snowman Olaf.

In February he shared his own post inside Disney’s studios.

Posing with directors Jennifer Lee and Trent Correy and producer Christina Chen, he captioned the photo: “3rd time is always the charm. Time to build another snowman.”

Although plot details of the third film are yet to be revealed, during an appearance on Good Morning America in June, Gad also said the upcoming release was the “funniest of the three movies I’ve ever recorded”.

He added: “There’s some unbelievable stuff, unbelievable developments.”

The original Frozen film was released in 2013 and became a juggernaut for Disney, making nearly 1.3 billion dollars (£900 million) at the global box office and generating a massive merchandising revenue stream.

The musical animation follows the story of the newly crowned Queen Elsa and her sister Anna, as Elsa accidentally uses her ice-making powers to curse her home to an infinite winter.

The original won the Academy Awards for best animated feature and best original song with Let It Go, as well as both the Golden Globe Award and Bafta for best animated feature film, as well as two Grammys.

Frozen 2 was released in 2019 and followed the characters as they set out to find the origin of Elsa’s powers in order to save their kingdom.

In November 2023, then-Disney chief executive Bob Iger confirmed that Frozen 4 was also in the works.

Frozen 3 will be released in cinemas on November 24 2027.
