Nat Geo greenlights natural history spin-off from hit franchise Frozen

Disney movie Frozen

Disney-owned National Geographic and Walt Disney Animation Studios have greenlit natural history series The Real Frozen (working title).

Produced by Silverback Films (Secrets of the Bees), it sees Frozen stars Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Jonathan Groff return to voice their movie characters Anna, Elsa and Kristoff.

They narrate the action as the show takes viewers to real-life Arctic landscapes to meet the diverse wildlife that lives in Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

It is the latest series from Nat Geo to bring popular Disney worlds to life through science, nature and cinematic storytelling, following A Real Bug’s Life and the upcoming The Real Finding Nemo.

The Real Frozen will premiere on National Geographic and will then stream on Disney+ and Hulu.

Courteney Monroe, president of National Geographic Content, said: “It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring together Disney’s beloved stories and characters with National Geographic’s boundary-pushing natural history storytelling, introducing kids and families to the incredible wonders of the world and opening the door to a lifetime of discovery.”
