Josh Gad, the Broadway actor, narrowly missed the opportunity to star in James Cameron’s sci-fi masterpiece. In his recently released memoir, Gad recalled the moment he almost landed a major role in Avatar as Jake Sully’s best friend.

Known for voicing the iconic animated character Olaf of Disney’s Frozen, he was ready to seize the chance, but luck wasn’t in his favor. He said he apparently looked like a “tall overweight Smurf.”

The Avatar franchise stands among the highest-grossing movies of all time. Gad could have been a part of this monumental success when he was desperate to find his path at a critical moment in his career. The 43-year-old actor shared his experiences and several unknown secrets in his memoir.

Antisemitism is sadly on the rise. And while this fast-growing discrimination and prejudice against Jews has been a troubling issue worldwide, it is now plaguing the entertainment industry as well. Where diversity and inclusivity should thrive, Antisemitism has been raising concerns. This led influential voices to speak up and bring much-needed attention to these serious issues.

Now, instead of succumbing to the shackles of antisemitism, several Hollywood stars came forward to take a stand, using their platforms to call out this societal evil and push for change. From Kim Kardashian to Adrien Brody, and even Friends star David Schwimmer, a number of Hollywood personalities openly addressed antisemitism and called for stronger action.

Jim Carrey is set to play 2 different Robotnik characters in Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and his role in another movie released in 2004 proves he's more than up for it. The third movie in the Sonic franchise sees Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles facing off against a new foe, Shadow the Hedgehog, who vows to get revenge on humanity. Their attempts to stop Shadow are thwarted by the return of Doctor Robotnik and his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. Sonic 3's trailer shows Shadow's dark origins and sees Carrey take on the dual roles of both Robotniks.

Although he initially considered retirement in 2022, Jim Carrey ultimately decided to return for Sonic 3 and reprise his role as Doctor Robotnik. Robotnik's return in Sonic 3 is a career first for Carrey, as it is the first time that he has ever played the same character three times in different movies. As Carrey usually prefers to avoid working in sequels,...

One of the main features of Disney Dreamlight Valley, and ultimately one of the reasons why the game is so popular, is its extensive focus on decorating. The world of Disney Dreamlight Valley is endlessly customizable, with an abundance of materials and furniture items to collect. The game is constantly improving, and its latest free release, the "Sew Delightful" update, has implemented a revolutionary new decorating mechanic where players can now rotate objects up to 16 times, making decorating in Disney Dreamlight Valley easier than ever.

The "Sew Delightful" update also introduced Floating Islands, which provide a blank space for more creative freedom. With each biome in Disney Dreamlight Valley offering different themes and items to decorate with, there is one biome in particular that is arguably the most difficult area in the game to decorate: The Frosted Heights. As a landscape of snow and ice with little definition between its areas,...

Even years later, Animal Crossing: New Horizons just keeps surprising its players with some of the most interesting situations ever imagined. Whether it's from people discovering new uses for interactive items, making beautiful custom designs, or simply coming across a silly piece of dialogue from a villager, it seems that Acnh is the game that just keeps giving. The relaxing island getaway has offered players a safe and cozy virtual home throughout the pandemic and countless personal trials in the lives of its players. On some rare occasions, however, it isn't quite the idyllic vacation that it is designed to be.

For Reddit user, Lord-Mankey, this cozy island experience quickly became a dark and grisly murder scene thanks to a glitch in the game that caused the poor rabbit villager, O'Hare, to become impaled on a beach umbrella.

There’s still plenty to watch on broadcast TV tonight, Tuesday, Dec. 10. After all, many networks are getting ready for the holiday season.

There are still some shows with new episodes to air. CBS isn’t pushing their schedule into mid-December to help give us something to watch. Meanwhile, NBC has a packed night of The Voice. Otherwise, it’s all about Christmas specials.

The development of animation has revolutionized how cinema is perceived. Animated movies have become a keystone of the film industry. With their ability to tap into every nuance of human imagination, animated movies have opened up a realm of possibilities previously unknown to mankind.

The engaging storylines and enchanting visuals have made these films universally entertaining projects that do not fail to leave a lasting impact. Their initial role of being reserved as children’s entertainment has transcended into a commercially successful branch of cinema. This article delves into the top 10 highest-grossing animated films that took the genre’s success to different heights.

The newest Disney Dreamlight Valley expansion, Storybook Vale, has brought some new faces to the valley, but it's also brought a few new glitches. Among the newest arrivals to the game is Princess Merida, a beloved character from the Disney movie Brave, known for her bright orange curls and Scottish brogue.

What Merida is not known for is her bulging eyes and striking T-pose gait. Unfortunately, this is exactly what she does in a clip shared by Reddit user Cavalish, as she glides away with her arms outstretched in what can only be called a nightmare-fuel loop. "I dont know what people are talking about," writes Cavalish, "Merida looks great."

The massive success of a few Disney films has led to their characters and storylines being further explored in fan-favorite TV shows. The latest film to earn a series inspired by its characters is Pixar's Inside Out, with the miniseries Dream Productions premiering later this year. Though the act of rebooting or producing sequel films and series based on acclaimed films feels like a habit established in recent years, Disney has been transforming their films into series for decades.

Shows like Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Timon & Pumbaa, and Aladdin aired on TV in the late '90s and early 2000s, and are still enjoyed by audiences to this day. When audiences connect with certain characters right away, like Baymax or Olaf, it only makes sense to produce a follow-up series that explores entertaining adventures outside the main narrative of their originating films. From classics like The Lion King...

Warning! This post contains Spoilers for Red One

While Red One is about saving a kidnapped Santa Claus in time for Christmas, it also features Krampus, a far darker figure from winter and Christmas mythology. As Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Callum Drift and Chris Evans' Jack O'Malley work together to locate and rescue Santa, one of their biggest leads is Krampus himself, Santa's mythological darker half. However, the monstrously horned Krampus is also perfectly cast in this new Christmas action movie.

In Red One, Krampus is introduced as the adopted brother and former partner of Santa Claus, inspired by German folklore where Krampus would punish all the naughty children (and even drag them to hell), while St. Nicholas gave gifts to those who'd been good. While Red One confirms the brothers had a falling out, Krampus was the originator of the naughty list and becomes a key lead for...

However, he has also proven his ability to move them emotionally with more dramatic performances in films like Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. With all the successful hits he's had throughout his career, some of them were forced to abandon plans for follow-ups, as Carrey made his lack of interest in making sequels quite clear.

The president of Italy has told Elon Musk to get lost.

President Sergio Mattarella of Italy reacted with evident anger on Wednesday after Elon Musk jumped with both feet into a highly controversial domestic debate about the far-right government’s migrant policies.

Musk tweeted an attack on Italian judges on Monday, saying that they were wrong to challenge Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s plans to spend an estimated $850 million to ship migrants from Italy to newly built detention camps in neighboring Albania. “These judges need to go,” declared Musk, in a comment on X.

Since Italian right-wing politicians have also been attacking the judges, Musk’s intervention was like rubbing salt in the wound.

The normally mild-mannered President Mattarella, who is 83 years old and serves as Italy’s widely respected head of state, issued an unusually sharp rebuke of Musk. Mattarella didn’t cite Musk by name but — in an...

Disney’s not going to be too happy with Saturday Night Live.

The long-running NBC show put the anthropomorphic blue heeler puppy’s father in a lewd position during a Bill Burr-led sketch tonight.

The sketch kicked off with Heidi Gardner as mental health specialist Kate Sullivan, visiting some Boston firefighters with a Rorschach test.

“With all due respect, the only therapy I need is in the bottom of the Guinness class,” Burr’s character Ralphie says.

However, it seems Burr’s character Ralphie sees things the others – played by Emil Wakin, Marcello Hernandez and Andrew Dismukes – don’t. These include Monsters Inc’s Mike Wazowski in a lewd pose wearing wedding lingerie and high heels, and Olaf from Frozen stealing Elsa’s top. “She’s not upset, though, if anything, she’s delighted by the horny game of cat and mouse,” he says.

Spaceballs 2, the sequel to Mel Brooks' 1987 satirical space opera, was announced earlier this year and, from the sounds of it, things are getting closer and closer to the starting point thanks to writer Josh Gad, who recently provided fans with one heck of a galaxy-sized update. Gad famous for voicing the character of Olaf in Disneys Frozen franchise is penning the script along with Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez (Detective Pikachu), and will also star in and produce the long-awaited follow-up, which also has Brooks on board as a producer, and Josh Greenbaum (Strays) sitting in the director's chair.

Sitting down with Forbes to discuss his new comic book series, The Writer, Gad was asked what he could share about the progression of Spaceballs 2, which hails from Amazon MGM Studios. No release date has been set, and while he couldnt go into too many details thanks to being...

In 1987, comedy legend Mel Brooks released Spaceballs, a parody of Star Wars that pit space rogue Lone Star (Bill Pullman) and his furry companion Barf (John Candy) against the vile Darth Helmet (Rick Moranis). Star Wars mania had by no means abated by that point — Return of the Jedi had come out four years before — but Spaceballs didn't get its own cult of fans until it came out on home video, which is how watched it when I was a tiny baby in the 1990s. I actually think I watched Spaceballs before I watched Star Wars, and it's still probably first in my heart.

Brooks made a couple of attempts over the years to get a sequel to Spaceballs made, but nothing took; according to Forbes, Moranis once pitched him on a movie called Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II, but it never came together. And so a couple...

Frozen's popularity has been raging on for over ten years, ever since the first movie captivated viewers with ice magic and heartwarming relationships. Characters such as Olaf, Kristoff, Elsa and Anna are loved by many, even though five years have passed since the release of Frozen II. Today, Frozen is still Disney's most lucrative franchise.

Since Frozen II hit theaters, the talk about a third and a potential fourth movie has excited fans. Unlike other follow-up movies by Disney, the sequel didn't flop. It explores the origin of Elsa's ice magic and sees her reconnecting to her ancestry. Some even favor Frozen II over the original movie. Frozen II ends on a satisfying note with Anna and Kristoff tying the knot and Queen Elsa becoming more powerful than ever. It seems to be a good place to end their story. Many fans are wondering what the next adventure for...

If Disney decides to ever make a live-action Frozen movie, Kristen Bell knows who should play Anna. The actor, who voices the Disney princess in the animated Frozen movies, recently shared who she thinks would be perfect for the role in a live-action remake of the original 2013 movie.

While sitting down with Elle to promote her latest project, Nobody Wants This, with co-star Adam Brody, Bell was asked who she'd want to see play Anna in a live-action Frozen remake. "In the live-action?" Bell pondered, taking a moment to think about all the age-appropriate actors currently working in Hollywood. Eventually, she landed on one name, "Joey King," who is perhaps best known for leading Netflix's The Kissing Booth film trilogy. Her acting credits also include The Dark Knight Rises (2012), The Conjuring (2013), Independence Day: Resurgence (2016), Bullet Train (2022), and, most recently, A Family Affair (2024) and Despicable Me 4 (2024).

Frozen became a hit for Disney with critically acclaimed songs, with the film taking an arguably unconventional approach to the cast members who actually sing the movies' tracks. Following the first movie's release in 2013, Frozen and Frozen II broke box office records and garnered various awards wins and nominations for their compelling narratives and original music a trend that Disney's Frozen 3 is expected to continue. Still renowned for its catchy soundtrack a decade later, the release of Frozen saw its number-one song, Let It Go!, skyrocket on the charts as well.

Let It Go! won both an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2014 and a Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Tthe Frozen soundtrack won an Academy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and had a second nomination. It was not just the music that made Frozen so beloved, but its killer cast and the dynamic characters they played.

Frozen star Kristen Bell shares her top choice for a potential live-action Anna. Released in 2013, Frozen follows Bell's Anna as she partners with Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and a talking snowman named Olaf (Josh Gad) to find her magical missing sister, Elsa (Idina Menzel), after Elsa accidentally uses her powers to trap the kingdom of Arendelle in a permanent winter. The animated film was a massive success, and a sequel was released in 2019, with Frozen 3 confirmed to be on the way.

In a recent interview with Elle, Bell is asked who she thinks should play Anna if a live-action Frozen remake were to happen. After considering the question for a moment, Bell chooses actor Joey King. Bell doesn't explain why she chooses King, but the younger actor is best known for movies like Bullet Train (2022), The Kissing Booth (2018), and most recently appeared in Uglies (2024).

Nordic animation makers need to embrace “compassion, equality and inclusion,” Kool Produktion’s Frank Mosvold told Variety.

“As a gay producer, I’m alarmed by the growing negative attitude and harmful portrayals of the queer and trans communities in Europe, which is why I am developing ‘The Legend of Magnus the Good,’” he added, teasing the animated feature about “acceptance, regardless of gender and identity.”

In the film, Magnus’ father is the famous Viking king Olaf. When his uncle decides to steal the crown, the boy has to flee. He travels in time, landing in the middle of a drag show in Norway.

“It’s important to make something that’s important to you,” Mosvold said later, during Ffa’s panel Nordic Animation: How to Make New Classics. A son of a “very successful businessman,” he also had to deal with high expectations.

"I knew that I probably wasnt going to get it," O'Brien said during a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, per THR. "Theyre looking for multitalented, multi-hyphenate people who can act and sing. And I didnt check, to be honest, probably either.

When Josh Gad joined the voice cast of Disney's animated movie "Frozen," which came out in 2013, he probably didn't think that he was about to become part of one of the biggest pop culture juggernauts in recent history. Both the original and its 2019 sequel, "Frozen II," made buckets of money at the box office, while the first movie also scored an Academy Award for best original song (thanks to the inescapable earworm "Let It Go"). Plus, Gad's character Olaf, a living snowman who wants to experience summer, became a breakout success on his own. So does Gad have any regrets about his "Frozen" experience? Yes, actually. He wishes he'd changed his voice a little more for the character.

Disney Animation has a new Chief Creative Officer. Jennifer Lee has stepped down from the role after six years and will be succeeded by filmmaker Jared Bush, whose Disney credits include Encanto, Zootopia, and Moana.

She is currently writing and directing Frozen 3, which is set for theatrical release on Nov. 24, 2027. She is also co-writing Frozen 4 with Marc Smith. No release date for the fourth Frozen movie has been announced yet, although since it's already been announced, it's unlikely that fans should expect another 8-year gap between 3 and 4 like they experienced with Frozen II and 3.

Given all the love Frozen has received since the first film dropped in 2013, its hard to imagine Josh Gad having anything to feel sorry about where portraying the kindly Olaf is concerned. However, Gad does have one regret when it comes to embodying the Disney character: The actor would not have used his regular voice to bring the lovable snowman to life on-screen. Yes, if the 43-year-old could have another crack at it, Gad would have played around until he found another voice for Olaf. Gad elaborated in an interview while appearing at Fan Expo Canada:

"If I could do it all over again, I would not have lent that snowman my voice. I wouldve created a different voice. Its very weird being in a supermarket and having a little child go like this [tilts and turns his head, emulating a kids astonishment]. That was my first big mistake. But, you know, people tell me I have a very unique voice.

It's been over a decade since Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad, and Jonathan Groff warmed our frozen hearts as Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff in the animated film Frozen. The 2013 animated film was followed by the 2019 sequel, which, until this year, was the highest-grossing animated movie, making the actor's voices wildly popular.

Speaking at Fan Expo Canada, Josh Gad revealed that voicing a popular character like Olaf came with its challenges, and explained that he regrets using his own voice for the beloved character. Olaf is easily one of the most adorable Disney characters of all time, as his expressive face and one-liners serve as the best part of the films. He has a lovable personality, and his voice is clearly distinguishable.

Following D23, Disney has officially set release dates for the highly anticipated Frozen III as well as the latest Pixar film, Hoppers. While 2024 is barely over and 2025 is just on the horizon, Disney is staking claim to release dates for two films over two years in advance. Disney is letting family audiences know to mark their calendars for Frozen III, as the third entry in the multi-billion dollar animated franchise is coming to theaters in 2027.

Per Deadline, Disney has set Frozen III for release on November 24, 2027, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Frozen and Frozen II opened close to the Thanksgiving holiday and went on to gross $1 billion at the worldwide box office, so this is a smart move for Disney. Meanwhile, the studio has set Pixar's latest original film, Hoppers, for a March 6, 2026 release date. Announced at D23, Hoppers is about a young girl who can "hop" her consciousness into a robotic animal.

Frozen 3 will skate into theaters on Nov. 24, 2027.

The official date came days after Walt Disney Animation’s chief creative officer Jennifer Lee shared the first concept art for Frozen 3 at D23, where she also revealed it would arrive in cinemas sometime in 2027.

As previously announced, she confirmed a fourth film is also in the works.

The Frozen franchise has been a boon for Disney and a Thanksgiving staple; 2013’s Frozen, starring Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel, earned $1.28 billion, while Frozen II (2019) brought in $1.45 billion.

Lee wrote and co-directed the first two film with Chris Buck. No details have yet been announced regarding who will helm the threequel.

The Frozen films tell the tale of two royal sisters who are orphaned after the death of their parents, the king and queen of Arendelle. Elsa, voiced by Menzel, is anointed queen, but her dangerous icy powers pose major challenges. Bell voices,...

Concept art for Frozen III hints at a new villain, debunking theories about the return of Hans. The shadowy villain in Frozen III's concept art may be a Viking or warrior type, posing a threat to Anna and Elsa in the upcoming film. While Hans may not return as the villain, Frozen III benefits from a new, more threatening antagonist to challenge Elsa and Anna's next adventure.

Many have theorized that Frozen III will see the return of one villainous character, yet a recent update from D23 means that this hypothesis may not come to fruition. Frozen III is the highly anticipated sequel to Disney's animated smash hits, Frozen and Frozen II. As one of Disney's highest-grossing animated franchises, the bar is quite high when it comes to this third installment. Even though the movie is slated for release in 2027, audiences are still eager to hear more. Fortunately, a...

At D23, Frozen and Frozen II co-director Jennifer Lee teased the possibility of Frozen 4. The sequel would follow Frozen III, which is set to premiere in Fall 2027. Frozen 4 could potentially feature a shorter hiatus than previous sequels in the franchise.

Frozen 4 has potentially been confirmed. The sequel Frozen 4 would follow Frozen III, which is set to premiere in Fall 2027. That movie follows the first two installments in the franchise, which center on sisters Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel), members of the royal family of Arendelle. While the original 2013 movie was a smash hit, grossing over $1 billion and launching the smash hit single "Let It Go", its 2019 sequel was an even bigger smash and became the highest-grossing animated movie ever, a record that was only recently surpassed by Inside Out 2.

For what it feels like the first time in forever, Disney is pulling all the strings to beat all the records possible. Armed with many exciting updates for its upcoming projects, Frozen III also got the first look at the concept art.

Frozen is one of Disney's most popular animated franchises ever. It's also incredibly bankable, as it grossed $2.76 billion at the worldwide box office, and won two Academy Awards. The first film premiered in 2013 with its sequel following six years later, in 2019, becoming the highest-grossing animation of all time, with $1.45 billion. That record was broken this year with Inside Out 2, but luckily Disney confirmed Frozen III is happening, giving it a chance to win back its title. On top of that, it's keeping fans invested as it revealed the concept art for the upcoming threequel at D23.

At this year’s D23 entertainment showcase, fans were given a small glimpse at the upcoming third installment of the Frozen franchise. Since its beginning in 2013, the Frozen series has earned $2.733 billion at the worldwide box office alone and billions more in merchandise sales. Up until the release of Pixar’s Inside Out 2, Frozen II was the highest-grossing animated film of all time.

At this year’s showcase, Jennifer Lee, current head of Disney Animation and Frozen co-creator, took to the stage to give fans a small tease of what they may expect to see. A paragraph of text was shown, hinting that the answers to many fans’ questions will be revealed.

Who gave Elsa her powers? Why doesn’t Anna have powers? Was there a 5th Spirit before? Will Kristoff be King? Do they want kids? Where are Kristoff’s parents? How did Kristoff meet Sven? How can...

Disney has confirmed that its $2 billion-plus Frozen IP will get a three-quel in 2027. Disney exec Jennifer Lee, who is also one of the directors of Frozen and Frozen II, released a concept art of the film at the ongoing D23 event. The film was inspired by Christian Andersen’s old fairy tale The Snow Queen. The two films grossed a total of $2.76 billion at the box office.

Lee also hinted at a potential fourth film in the franchise, which obviously draws a comparison to Pixar’s seminal four-part film franchise, Toy Story. From the numbers and the success of Inside Out 2 & Despicable Me 4, the Frozen franchise is likely to surpass the $3 billion-grossing franchise.

Disney fans can return to Arendelle, because Frozen 3 is at D23. Disney revealed some concept art from the threequel, and then surprised everyone by half-announcing yet another sequel, Frozen 4. According to Deadline, Frozen filmmaker Jennifer Lee said, "'There were a lot of questions coming out of Frozen 2it will take two films to answer them.' She did this without saying on the nose that there will be a Frozen 4. Nor was a logo for Frozen 4 flashed up on the screen. She did say Frozen 3 would hit screens in 2027." According to Deadline:

The art was of Elsa and Anna separately on horses heading toward a summery horizon. Olaf was on the back of Annas horse.

Do you want to build a snowman? Are you still avoiding capes? After the gargantuan success of both "Frozen" and its sequel at Walt Disney Animation and "Incredibles 2" at Pixar Animation, it should come as no surprise that both franchises are being given more sequels, as announced officially at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California today.

/Film's Jacob Hall was in attendance during the studio's big panel presentation at D23, where the studios revealed "Frozen 3" will arrive in 2027, and "The Incredibles 3" is currently in development at Pixar. Since neither "Frozen II" nor "Incredibles 2" had specific titles for the sequels, it doesn't seem like the three-quels will have any sort of subtitle either.

So, what do we know about both of these sequels after the big announcement at D23?
