In the Frozen 2 trailer, we see Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel) on a dark and stormy beach trying to run across the waves using her ice powers, and finally getting taken under by a giant wave. Elsa's sister Anna (Kristen Bell), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), reindeer Sven and even snowman Olaf (Josh Gad) appear to be back for more adventures. The trailer gives a glimpse at a couple of new characters as well, and the internet is speculating one of them could be Elsa's girlfriend.
The original Frozen, a musical fantasy loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen, opened in 2013, and remains the highest-grossing animated movie of all time. It won Oscars for best animated feature and best original song, for Let It Go.
Frozen 2 comes out on Nov. 22 in the US and UK and on Dec. 26 in Australia.
