In a new interview with ComingSoon, FROZEN star Kristen Bell talks about returning to the world of Arendelle and reuniting with her co-stars for the upcoming Disney sequel.

Asked if she has started work on FROZEN 2 or the recently announced FROZEN holiday special, the actress shares, "No, there's such a long process that's involved before I come in to record. I'm privy to a lot of it, though, and it's an exciting process even for me. I'm as much of a "Frozen" fan as anybody else."

The 'House of Lies' star says she is thrilled to be reuniting with her cast mates from the original animated mega hit. "I'm happy to be staying with that family," she says. "I love them very much and they're incredibly talented filmmakers. Josh [Gad], Idina [Menzel] and I have forged a friendship through the crazy weird explosion that this movie has been."

Bell is also grateful that she has the opportunity to re-create the role of Princess Anna. "I feel particularly lucky that it's going to have an extra life, because when I can be Princess Anna to little kids, it feels really good," she explains. "I can call friends or nieces or nephews or auction winners as Princess Anna and it's really special. It feels like a super power."

Kristen Bell made her Broadway debut in 2001, originating the role of Becky Thatcher in the short-lived "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." In 2002, she was in the revival of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" on Broadway, starring Laura Linney and Liam Neeson. She will next be seen on the big screen opposite Melissa McCarthy in THE BOSS.
