Frozen 2 stars Josh Gad, Idina Menzel and Jonathan Groff gathered to answer questions about the upcoming Disney sequel last week, letting slip some juicy details ahead of the movie’s release. Olaf actor Gad even spilled on what treats fans will be missing out on due to cuts to the final edit.
The Frozen star revealed he had done a song for Olaf which never made it into the film and also hinted at a mysterious “duet” for Kristoff and an unknown partner — quite possibly Anna.
“At what point do you record the music?” Q&A host Edith Bowman asked during the live streamed interview. “What stage is the film at when you record the songs?”
“I originally recorded a song that never made it into the movie,” Gad replied.
“And you did as well,” he added, turning to Kristoff star Groff. “You did a duet right?”

Groff nodded, confirming the existence of a Kristoff duet fans may never get to hear.
“Like the rest of the process, the movie discovers itself,” Gad explained. “So, there’s a lot of variations of the film along the way.
“It was later on when Bobby [Lopez] and Kristen [Anderson-Lopez] excitedly called me and they said, ‘Okay, we think we have an in as to what we think the character needs in this moment.’ And I heard the song and was like, ‘This is genius.’
“Once again, it’s just so subversively funny and so brilliant and tells you so much about the character without being on the nose,” he added.
No one here’s seen the movie, right?” he asked the crowd. “No, obviously not.
“So, basically, Kristoff is trying to propose to Anna in the second movie,” he continued, sparking a few quiet gasps from the audience.
“That’s kind of a spoiler alert, I guess!” he added apologetically, looking slightly guilty.
Soldiering on, he gave a glimpse at what fans can look forward to from Kristoff’s proposal attempts, saying: “It’s not going well for him because he’s a mountain man and he has trouble expressing his feelings, particularly as far as love is concerned.
“About half way through that movie, it’s another failed attempt at a proposal and a fantasy sequence happens when Kristoff lets loose singing an ‘80s-inspired emotional ballad.
“The animation is sort of like an ’80s music video,” the actor chuckled.
Frozen fans have all that to come when the sequel gets released in cinemas later this week.
The sequel comes six years after the original Frozen first made waves, gathering a global fandom and taking 1.2 billion in worldwide box officer revenue.
Frozen 2 will be released in UK cinemas this Friday.
