Bell introduced fans to this new semi-sequel, while Gad surprised the crowd with a live performance of the all-new original song "That Time of Year", written by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson from the featurette that will hit the theatres on November 22 this year.
Joining Bell and Gad in the "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" are Idina Menzel as the voice of Elsa and Jonathan Groff as Kristoff. The two are also reprising their roles in "Frozen 2".
The featurette is directed by Kevin Deters and Stevie Wermers-Skelton. Roy Conli is producing the project.
The original film was released on November 27, 2013. It won two Academy Awards for the best animated feature and the best original song "Let It Go".
