Frozen 2: New trailer shows Elsa at risk of losing herself to her alluring magical powers

Disney have teased more about what is in store for Frozen 2 as they dropped the third trailer on Monday, ahead of its release next month.

Set three years after the events of Frozen, Elsa (Idina Menzel) and sister Anna (Kirsten Bell) go on a journey to explore if she was born with her magical powers. Together with Kristoff, Olaf and Sven, the duo set out on a dangerous but remarkable expedition as their kingdom Arendelle faces terrible danger. The trailer starts with a ‘distracted and worried’ Elsa hearing a voice which is calling her, before the people of Arendelle are forced to flee the kingdom and take refuge in the cliffs. Troll King Grand Pabbie informs the royals: ‘The kingdom is not safe. Find who is calling to you, they may have answers.’

The group then travel North across the enchanted lands, with Grand Pabbie warning them of the spirits ‘which will test you every step of the way’.

It appears the film is set in autumn and when Olaf ventures into the forest, a pile of leaves fall on him. Anna and Elsa then come face-to-face with a group of unknown characters, who previously said in the last trailer entering the magical forest ‘was impossible’. There is another warning by the troll king, who tells Anna that Elsa could get carried away by her ‘alluring’ magical powers if she doesn’t have her in her life.

And it appears Elsa does become enchanted with her ability to turn things into ice and snow, with producers showing the change by differing her hairstyle from her signature braid to her locks flowing around her shoulders. As the group battle stone giants and Elsa runs into the ocean, Anna says: ‘I believe in you Elsa, more than anyone or anything, if anyone can save Arendelle it’s you.’ The trailer features several action sequences with Elsa conjuring large sheets of ice from her hands and riding on a horse while the soldiers say they must ‘protect Arendelle at all costs’.

There is also the threat of a large, stone-like monster who storms through the forest chasing Anna. The original film followed Anna trying to be reunited with Elsa after her powers inadvertently trapped Arendelle in an eternal winter The film won two Academy Awards, one for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for Let It Go, and grossed $1.27 billion at the box office. Joining the cast of Frozen 2 is Evan Rachel Wood as Queen Iduna, who was voiced by Jennifer Lee in the first film.
