About Frozen
Disney's Frozen (2013) earned $1.28 billion and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and Frozen II (2019) topped it with $1.45 billion. Three shorts fill gaps around the films: Frozen Fever (2015), Olaf's Frozen Adventure (2017) and Once Upon a Snowman (2020). Each runs under 25 minutes.
Watch Frozen, then the shorts in release order, then Frozen II. Once Upon a Snowman rewinds to Olaf's first day during the original film, so it also works right after Frozen. Frozen III is dated November 24, 2027, with a fourth film confirmed in development.
Good to know
Frozen III moved from 2026 to November 24, 2027; Disney set the date at D23 in August 2024. A fourth film is in development with no date set. Myth: A Frozen Tale (2021) is a VR short and optional, and Lego Frozen Northern Lights (2016) sits outside this canon list.
