Why does Elsa have powers? And why doesn’t Anna?
These burning questions will be answered in Frozen 2—Walt Disney Animation Studios’ eagerly anticipated follow-up to its beloved 2013 film—when it opens in theaters on November 22. Ahead of that, the film’s writer/director Jennifer Lee and stars Kristen Bell (voice of Anna) and Josh Gad (voice of Olaf) share a peek at the incredible journey all of the characters must take to save the kingdom of Arendelle in the latest issue of Disney twenty-three. The issue’s gorgeous wrap-around cover, created exclusively for D23, will give you chills in the best possible way.
Of course, there’s another must-see movie marked on our calendar and that’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the 42-years-in-the-making thrilling climax to the Skywalker Saga. Star John Boyega and director J.J. Abrams talked to Disney twenty-three about reaching the cinematic apex to the nine-film saga, and Boyega revealed some inside scoop from the production. Among the tasty tidbits he shared was the bill of fare for the final on-set meal Boyega and fellow cast members Daisy Ridley and Naomi Ackie enjoyed together: “burgers and donuts.”
Plus, the creative team behind Disney+’s Forky Asks a Question sporks to the occasion and discusses bringing the hysterically frustrating character to the streaming service in a new collection of 10 shorts. They also reveal some of the big-name comedy stars lending their voices to the show, including Carol Burnett, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, and Betty White (who play the hilariously named Chairol Burnett, Melephant Brooks, Carl Reinosceros, and Bitey White, respectively).
