3/21 UPDATE: Kristen Bell shared further details on the progress of the highly anticipated sequel to Disney's FROZEN. In a new interview with Collider.com, the actress was asked about whether she has started recording lines for the film. She shared, "Not yet. We're just about to. They've just written it and they're still doing tweaks, but I think we should be recording this month. The story is great, and they exude quality. What I know about that whole team is that they wouldn't just put something out to put it out. That's why it took them so long to even announce that we were doing a second one. Generally when you have a first successful movie you want to make a second one. It took them a while because they wanted to figure out what story they needed to tell and what would be important and engaging and I think they found it."

Asked about whether song work was underway for FROZEN 2, Bell revealed, "No, not yet. We record all the time for different parks or different parks that open overseas, we'll do a mashup for the rides. So we actually get to go in - Josh [Gad] and Idina [Menzel], Jonathan [Groff] and I - all the time and record new bits of the music. When Epcot center opens we'll record a bunch of new music. So we have little bits of Frozen in our life at all times, but I'm excited to get started on the new movie."

As recently reported, the original story of FROZEN will hit the Broadway stage in 2018!

3/18: Kristen Bell gave E! an exclusive update on the highly anticipated sequel to FROZEN. The actress revealed that the script "is just being finished written and I think we start recording next month." She went on to tease, "I have a couple of clues as to what's going to happen."

Speaking on the original film's mega-hit song "Let It Go," Bell says, "Nothing should top that. Even when I hear it, hearing it as many times, as I have, every time I hear it, it gives me the tingles. It's a brilliantly written song and it's so perfectly suited for her," she continued. "I think there's going to be a lot of great songs in the next movie but I don't know if any of them will top 'Let It Go.'"

Bell recently reunited with her Frozen costars Idina Menzel and Josh Gad in New York City for a fundraiser for Menzel's A BroaderWay. "She asked Josh and I if we'd come and do a sing-a-long and it was so much fun!" Bell beamed. "There were a couple hundred kids there, we sang songs from the movie, some that were cut that no one ever heard before, and it's just such a nice time to see your friends and it's really fun to sing. It's really, really fun to sing especially alongside of people that you love."

Bell also admitted to E! that her three-year-old daughter Lincoln isn't a fan of the hit Disney musical movie. Lincoln first watched it last month-at least Bell tried to get her to watch it. "I put it on for her, thinking it was going to blow her mind and she like 15 minutes in and was like, 'Turn this off, I don't like this movie."

Knowing that mom was THE VOICE of Anna didn't impress Lincoln. "She could care less," Bell said. "It was too scary for her, I think. She keeps my ego in check. But it was too dark, the scene where Anna gets struck and then they go to the trolls and it takes place at night."
