`Frozen 2 has captivated audiences around the world through its powerful themes of perseverance and the importance of family, messages that are incredibly relevant during this time,` said Bob Chapek, Disney's recently appointed CEO, in a press release.
Bringing Frozen 2 to Disney Plus at a time when more people are working from home and schools are closing is also a chance for Disney to bolster additional subscribers. Other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu (also owned by Disney) are likely to see an increase in time spent watching titles as people stay indoors. Frozen 2, which grossed $1.4 billion globally, setting a new record for an animated film, is a highly anticipated title for the Disney Plus subscribers.
Questions about whether Disney could bring some of its anticipated titles, like Mulan and New Mutants, to Disney Plus also started circulating online after the studio announced both films theatrical releases were delayed.
