Frozen Continues as LEGO Animated Shorts and Book Series

Do you want to build more snowmen? Disney recently announced that Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and the rest of the characters from 2013 hit film Frozen are returning in Frozen Northern Lights, a series of books and animated LEGO shorts debuting later this year.

USA Today reports that Frozen Northern Lights will kick off with the July 5 release of a novel by Suzanne Francis titled Journey to the Lights. The 224-page book, available for pre-order through Random House, will focus on a quest to restore the Northern Lights to the night sky and will introduce new characters while bringing back all the original favorites. Nine more books will follow in the series between now and 2017 (which is plenty of content to hold the family over until the eventual release of Frozen 2).

Disney has also announced the release of Frozen Northern Lights, four animated shorts produced by the LEGO Group that will air on the Disney Channel this fall. As Josh Gad (the voice of Olaf) says in the video above, the original cast has returned to voice their characters for the shorts, so fans don't have to worry about seeing new takes on their favorite characters.
