Coming up next, we have 2019's "Frozen II", in which we revisit Anna, Elsa, and the gang in Arendelle. The two sisters are tested like never before and must face new foes and meet new friends in order to secure the happiness and safety of their people.
The film's voice cast includes Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, Sterling K. Brown, Evan Rachel Wood, Alfred Molina, Martha Plimpton, Jason Ritter, Rachel Matthews, Jeremy Sisto, Ciaran Hinds, and Alan Tudyk.
In Arendelle, Queen Elsa hears a strange voice which seems to be calling to her. Only she can hear it. All others appear to be deaf to the melodious resonance beckoning from the hills.
Meanwhile, Olaf has some worries about growing older. He asks Princess Anna for a few words of wisdom.
So, the entire cast comes together to sing the song "Some Things Never Change".
Elsa is feeling an increasing disconnect and a yearning for a missing piece from deep inside her. On top of all this, Arendelle appears to be in danger from some unseen force. Elsa decides to go "Into The Unknown".
Elsa and Anna, along with Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf journey in search of the voice that is calling to Elsa. Olaf makes the journey tiresome by providing seemingly useless facts such as, "Water has memory" and "Wombats poop squares".
The journey brings them to a place that is shrouded in mist. The travelers journey forth as the mist envelops them.
On the other side of the mist, they come to a beautiful forest. The group gazes around in wonder.
Elsa's powers are ever evolving and they bring forth some very interesting ice sculptures, proving to Olaf that water indeed does have memory.
A group of people called Northuldra reveal themselves, and Olaf has a good time reenacting the story of how they all arrived in the forest beyond the mist.
Elsa also meets a cute little fire salamander. This guy is red hot when she meets him. All he seems to want is a cool place to relax, which Elsa happily provides for him.
Elsa and Anna come to realize that their mother, Queen Iduna, was Northuldra.
The Northuldra people warmly welcome the two sisters into their circle. Anna and Elsa are overcome with emotion.
Elsa learns from a young woman named Honeymaren about the four spirits: earth, wind, fire, and water. However, she also learns that there is a fifth spirit that is supposed to connect them.
Our group of travelers keeps moving. They come upon a most distressing sight, the shipwreck of Anna and Elsa's parents.
At this point, the group separates. Anna and Olaf head off on their own, and they meet with some incredible adventures. When things look dark, Anna tells Olaf that she could really use a bright side. "Bright side? Um...turtles can breathe through their butts," he offers.
Elsa finds she is able to tame a wind/water spirit named Gale, which she uses to travel to a glacier called Ahtohallan.
There, she learns much about the past, including how her parents met. She also learns that she is the fifth spirit that is supposed to unite the other four spirits. She sings a beautiful song, "Show Yourself".
Events occur which unleashes a mighty flood which threatens the kingdom of Arendelle.
Elsa and Gale arrive just in time and save the kingdom. The citizens watch in awe.
Elsa and Anna come together after their adventure is over. Elsa tells her sister that she won't be returning to Arendelle and that Anna is destined to be the next queen. The sisters give each other a hug.
Anna is crowned Queen of Arendelle amidst much happiness. She even accepts Kristoff's proposal of marriage. A new reign has begun.

And that's it for Frozen II. Apparently, the song that Elsa hears which calls her "into the unknown" is a type of Scandinavian herding call. It is called a "kulning".
In the beginning of the film, we find a young Anna and Elsa playing with some frozen snow beings. The one that Elsa is holding resembles Dumbo. Directly underneath "Dumbo" is Baymax from "Big Hero Six". Next to Anna is a princess who resembles Snow White.
A post-credits scene sees Olaf returning to Elsa's snow palace and recounting all his adventures to Marshmallow and all the little "Smudgies".
