New Disney ‘Frozen’ Podcast Coming this October

As the 10^th anniversary of Disney’s Frozen approaches, Disney Publishing Worldwide, in collaboration with ABC Audio and Walt Disney Animation Studios are excited to launch the brand-new, first-of-its-kind Disney Frozen Podcast presented by Macy’s, an original podcast that extends the storytelling of the beloved Walt Disney animated film as an audio-first offering, complete with new characters and an original, standalone adventure set after the events of Frozen 2.

Disney Animation’s Academy Award©-winning Frozen has endured as a powerful reminder to fans of all ages to never give up as an epic adventure story about the power of love and family. The Disney Frozen Podcast expands on this tradition of self-discovery, bringing listeners on an exciting journey about the magical connections of family, forgiveness, and a little curiosity.

Lynn Waggoner, Vice President of Global Publishing, Franchise Content, and Creative said, “For almost a decade, Disney Publishing has journeyed through Arendelle with Anna, Elsa, and Olaf – from storybook collections to middle-grade adventure stories. We are excited to continue telling new stories in this world through this spell-binding audio-first offering. The Disney Frozen Podcast is an expansive endeavor made possible through deep collaboration with creative teams across our company, setting a new standard for engaging kids’ podcasting content.”

The launch of Season 1 of Disney Frozen Podcast: Forces of Nature presented by Macy’s, highlights a landmark moment for kids podcasting as Disney’s first foray into an audio-first extension of a Walt Disney animated franchise. For 100 years, fans around the world have been captivated by the timeless and iconic stories from The Walt Disney Company. Storytelling has long been at the heart of Disney, and Disney Publishing continues to innovate new ways for stories to come to life: from books, comics, and magazines, to apps and audiobooks. According to a new study by Edison, 94% of kids ages 6-12 who listen to podcasts say that they enjoy listening to them with their family. Podcasts foster a sense of screen-free family connection. The Disney Frozen Podcast engages young listeners with quality programming from a treasured franchise.

“ABC Audio is thrilled to introduce the power of audio storytelling to a new generation through the Disney Frozen Podcast,” said Liz Alesse, vice president of ABC Audio. “This immersive series created in partnership with Disney Publishing Worldwide and Walt Disney Animation Studios taps into listeners’ imagination and offers parents an engaging, screen-free experience to share with their children.”

ABOUT THE DISNEY FROZEN PODCAST, SEASON ONE: FORCES OF NATURE

Queen Anna has a lot on her plate – there are visitors in her Kingdom, a friend in need, and even the Duke of Weselton’s nephew skulking around – so when the Spirits of Nature start acting up, she knows she has to solve the problem – and fast – before things get more out of control. But when Anna and Elsa travel to the Enchanted Forest, they find mysterious copper machines that are disrupting the natural order of things. Who made these machines and what are they doing in the forest? And more importantly, how do Anna and Elsa stop them? Disney Frozen Podcast: Forces of Nature is a 12-episode audio-first story for kids.

Meet the New Podcast Characters

QUEEN DISA: Queen Disa is the ruler of Sankershus, a kingdom plagued by floods. She has an expertly scientific mind and loves to understand how all things work. Her father recently passed and left her the kingdom to look after. She has made the decision to seek help from Arendelle and wants to make sure she’s repaying them in kind – with science!

LORD WOLFGANG: Wolfgang is the Duke of Weselton’s nephew who is currently on an apology tour to make amends for his uncle’s behavior. He is also desperate to bring honor (and trade) back to his country after the unfortunate events that happened last time a Weseltonian was in Arendelle. He is here to render assistance in any way he can, especially with the application of copper. Though his true love is commerce – and copper – he is actually quite an accomplished knitter. He has two pet magpies, Astrid and Magnus.

ASTRID and MAGNUS: Just normal magpies. Definitely nothing abnormal about them. Did you know magpies can talk?

The Disney Frozen Podcast is also excited to feature ABC News’ chief meteorologist Ginger Zee as a voice presenter within the series. Ginger has a longstanding history of celebrating all-things Frozen, including hosting ABC Audio’s Inside Frozen 2 podcast. As a storyteller herself (A Little Closer to Home: How I Found the Calm After the Storm), Ginger brings the perfect energy and enthusiasm to introduce audiences to this new series as the voice of the Disney Frozen Podcast visual trailer.

Season 1 of The Disney Frozen Podcast: Forces of Nature presented by Macy’swill be available wherever you listen to podcasts when it launches — subscribe to stay up to date on your favorite podcasting app. More information can be found here.

Good Burger 2 Teaser Trailer Released by Paramount+

Paramount+ has recently unveiled a teaser for the long-awaited sequel, Good Burger 2, following its filming earlier this year. The teaser spotlights the delightful reunion of Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, both esteemed alumni of All That, and introduces a fresh generation of viewers to their beloved characters. In this iteration, circumstances serendipitously lead Dexter Reed (played by Thompson) to rejoin the workforce of the eponymous burger establishment. (see the trailer below)

Kel Mitchell shared his excitement for the return, stating, “Ed and Dex are ready to make their mark once again. Brace yourselves for an extraordinary experience! Big shoutout to my colleague [Jada Pinkett Smith]. You just got a sneak peek of the interiors of the Good Burger Mobile! Cleo lent me her wheels!”

In addition to Thompson and Mitchell, Good Burger 2 boasts an impressive ensemble, featuring:

Jillian Bell (recognized for Murder Mystery 2 and Brittany Runs a Marathon) as Katt Boswell, the CEO of MegaCorp.
Kamaia Fairburn (noted for Blockbuster and Holly Hobbie) as Mia, a self-assured and stylish teenager who assists at Good Burger to support her mother whenever possible.
Alex R. Hibbert (famous for Moonlight and The Chi) as Ed2, a pint-sized rendition of his father, Ed, and the newest trainee at Good Burger.
Fabrizio Guido (seen in Perry Mason and Mr. Iglesias) as Mr. Jensen, a 16-year-old staff member who earnestly tries, yet often falters, in keeping his coworkers in check.
Elizabeth Hinkler (recognized from The Good Doctor and Tiny Beautiful Things) and Emily Hinkler (known for The Good Doctor and Boy Erased) as Cindy and Mindy, identical twin 16-year-old chefs at the diner.
Anabel Graetz (notable for Free Guy and The Mothership) as Ruth, the senior-most employee at Good Burger amidst a cadre of teenagers.

Not to be missed Halloween Horror Nights Desserts

Be sure these Halloween Horror Nights Desserts items are on your must-do list

The fog is beginning to thicken as the anticipation for this year’s Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort grows. With a spooky ambiance lingering in the air, the allure of the upcoming fall season is impossible to resist. If your preference leans more towards treats than tricks, fear not. HHN has an array of terrifyingly delicious treats waiting to be savored.

halloween-horor-nights-desserts-trick-or-treat-bucket

The Trick Or Treat Bucket

When pondering Halloween and sweets, the thought of trick-or-treating naturally comes to mind. Enter Chef Christopher Colon, the executive sous chef of Research and Development, who describes the “Trick Or Treat Bucket” as an endearing popcorn container that mirrors the spirit of trick-or-treating.

A symphony of chocolate creme brulee, peanut butter buttercream, caramel popcorn, candy corn, chocolate-filled and peanut-butter-filled candies, and licorice strips harmonize within this seemingly diminutive package. Its thematic brilliance shines through as a confection that encapsulates the essence of trick-or-treating, perfect for indulging between spooky encounters—it’s a trick-or-treat experience within a treat!

Mummy Pop

The Mummy-inspired cheesecake pop presents an unexpectedly delightful experience. To call it incredible would be an understatement. A single bite reveals its perfection—an amalgamation of creamy cheesecake, a satisfying cookie crunch, and a playfully spooky mummy design that exudes the essence of HHN. As a cake pop, it’s convenient to enjoy on the move.

Pumpkin Dulce de Leche Puff

The Rotting Pumpkin proves to be another masterpiece that excels in every aspect. This cream puff, infused with pumpkin and dulce de leche, features whipped ganache, pumpkin seeds, and opulent gold accents atop its delicate exterior. A harmonious contrast between the crispy baked exterior and the creamy interior delights the palate with perfect balance.

Sour Apple Pie Funnel Fries (Dr. Oddfellow’s Twisted Origins)

Desserts have the power to convey a narrative beyond mere refreshment—they can evoke the tales told within the haunted houses and scare zones.

Consider the Sour Apple Pie Funnel Fries: a fusion of carnival flavors featuring “sour sugar-seasoned funnel fries topped with apple pie filling, streusel, and sour apple ice cream.” The amalgamation of fries, pie, and ice cream echoes the spirit of the carnival, a realm where things may not be quite as they seem.

Bloody Snowball (YETI: Campground Kills)

In line with the original YETI: Campground Kills house, Chef Robert brings forth a dessert that channels the essence of this chilling theme: a “chocolate snowball covered with desiccated coconut and a luscious cream center.” This dessert adds a touch of frosty delight to the HHN atmosphere, seamlessly continuing the spine-tingling narrative of the haunted houses.

Dia de Los Muertos Vegan Churros
Imagine a paper bowl holding five churros, adorned with black cookie crumbs, encircling a scoop of vanilla gelato dusted with the same cookie crumbs. This picturesque arrangement graces a patterned, black table. Nearby, a black vase with crimson tissue paper adds to the visual tapestry against a predominantly red-and-black backdrop that gently blurs.

Churros, a timeless theme park treat, seamlessly integrate into HHN’s Dia de Los Muertos themed food stations.

Offering a vegan twist on the cherished Mexican delight, these cinnamon-sugar churros arrive with vegan vanilla gelato, coconut agave nectar, and crushed chocolate cookies. This delectable treat embodies the sweetness of HHN while adding an element of festive celebration to the mix.

And really, who could say no to more churros?
