Disney's "The Snow Queen" in 2013?
Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 1:18 pm
The French blog The Art of Disney Animation (http://artofdisney.canalblog.com/) is reporting that The Snow Queen is back in production with a release date of 2013 being mooted. Apparently Musker and Clements have been approached to direct.
Here's a not-quite-perfect translation from Google of the original French:
The Snow Queen is a project of longtime Disney. Often discussed, ever produced, this film inspired the tale of the same name written by Hans Christian Andersen now seems on track to finally be realized! Indeed yesterday held a meeting with Walt Disney Animation Studios in the presence of several leaders and great names of the animation division, including John Lasseter, John Musker and Ron Clements (approached to direct the film!). It seems that everyone is being to agree on who will do what during the production of feature films. There has to wait for the official announcement from Disney but apparently The Snow Queen is beautiful and well back on track! Now no one knows yet whether the film will be produced in 2-D or 3-D, perhaps THERE will depend on the success of The Princess and the Frog ...
So in these cases, tell me why you put The Snow Queen in the Disney section of aborted projects? Well, simply because I will not tell you yet of the new version of the film, but it abandoned in 2003. This version should be the first story of a princess from Aladdin sori in 1992. But many problems have come to put a spanner in the production ... First Glen Keane, who joined the project after its animation work on Treasure Planet, decided in 2002 to leave the production team to make his own film, Rapunzel (which finally released in 2010 directed by Byron Howard and Nathan Greno, Glen had left the implementation to focus solely on the animation film). A few months later, the studios decided to abandon the project. The main reason was that at that time, Walt Disney Animation Studios wanted to stop production of fairy tales to focus on more modern stories. Moreover, the 2-D department was increasingly threatened by the 3-D, and Disney did not venture into a long film production in 2-D. In short, all these elements put together the project in the closet!
Until the new project (announced informally in 2013), I invite you to explore below some sketches of the character of the queen by Harald Siepermann, completed in 2003. These designs for the old version of the film, the queen of the new version should be completely different.

Any thoughts?
