Oops! It appears Box Office Mojo made a mistake yesterday when they “revealed” that Pixar’s previously untitled Dinosaur film had been given the name Frozen.
It’s actually the title for another Disney film, and the plot of this one makes more sense with the title.
Turns out that Frozen isn’t a Pixar movie at all, but rather a new, possibly 2D-animated, film out of Walt Disney Animation. According to Bleeding Cool, the confusion stems from the fact that the new project is set to be released on November 27th, 2013, which was the old release date for the dinosaur movie (which is now in limbo release date-wise). In reality, Frozen is an adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson’s The Snow Queen, which the studio has been trying to get made for years now without any luck (the image at the top of this story is concept art from a few years ago). The 2D animation thing is up in the air, as the site’s source recently responded to questioning about the format by saying, “Don’t put your name to that…not quite yet.”
As discussed in the comments by our visitors, the title Frozen didn’t exactly make much sense for the Dinosaur story.
