Frozen 2 - The Origin of Elsa's Strength

"The past is not what it seems. You must find the truth," says Pabbie (Ciarán Hinds), the troll who helped Elsa in first film, in a voiceover. "Go north across the enchanted lands and into the unknown, but be careful," the troll continues. "We have always feared Elsa's powers were too much for this world, now we must hope they are enough."

Audiences will also see the return of Anna (Kristen Bell), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and Olaf (Josh Gad). Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, "Frozen 2" will feature songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. ( 'Frozen 2' trailer raises questions about Elsa's powers )

The clip — which premiered first on ABC’s Good Morning America — revealed the plot of the sequel to the 2013 hit animated movie, explaining that Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) is challenged to go look for the truth about her ice-welding powers in a dangerous new adventure.

Just like the original, Frozen 2 will feature Idina Menzel as Queen Elsa, Kristen Bell as Princess Anna, Jonathan Groff as her love Kirstoff and Josh Gad as the lovable snowman Olaf. Gad recently posted a picture of the foursome on Twitter, teasing the release of the movie with a simple caption: “Soon enough…”

While the first film mostly dealt with Elsa trying to suppress her powers out of a deep fear that she won’t be able to control them, the Queen saved the day in the end by embracing who she is. The 2015 short Frozen Fever showed a little bit of Elsa’s new attitude towards her powers now that she’s learning how to use them for good. The sequel will see Elsa take her them to the next level.

There’s been a rousing online movement to not only give Elsa a love interest in the second, but to actually have her fall in love with a woman. After the campaign gained traction, even Menzel weighed in during an interview in May 2016. ( Frozen 2: Everything We Know About the Disney Sequel )

Jon Stewart condemned the US Congress for the 9/11

Comedian and activist Jon Stewart made a plea before the House Judiciary Committee to reauthorize the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund on June 11, 2019. He paused once as he became emotional during his testimony. ( Jon Stewart calls out congressmen who were absent from hearing on 9/11 compensation )

The former Daily Show host delivered an emotional and scathing statement to Congress over its handling of benefits for 9/11 first responders and victims. Stewart testified before the House judiciary committee on Tuesday alongside first responders and victims, but only a handful of politicians appeared at the hearing, prompting a visibly angry Stewart to condemn their treatment of survivors. The comedian, who has repeatedly lobbied for legislation to codify the health benefits into law, called the inaction ‘an embarrassment to the country’ ( ‘Shameful’: Jon Stewart’s emotional testimony to Congress over inaction for 9/11 responders – video )
