Currently Jennifer Lee is only set to direct Frozen 3, per the press release. Although she is co-writing the 4th one.

They must really like how Zootopia 2 is going.

It’s probably for the best. Original animation from all studios has not been making a ton of money since the pandemic, but WDAS has not really been in a great position for some time from a quality perspective. Raya and the Last Dragon and Encanto (mostly Encanto though) are really the only well-received films since Moana. Everything else since Moana (Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen II, Strange World, and Wish) have gotten mixed reception at best, even if Frozen II was a giant box office hit.

Jennifer Lee stepping down to focus on Frozen 3 and 4 isn’t suprising. Anyone who has watched the making of Frozen 2 documentary knows she had no idea what that movie was going to be and winged the production. Getting proper time and plan for the sequels will help prevent another nightmarish production.

For the best. I think **’Strange World’** & **’Wish’** were Jennifer’s nail in the coffin.

Probably a good move. I love the Frozen movies, but it still seemed like she was in over her head in the role of CCO. Jared Bush on the other hand has been part of some of the most beloved movies besides Frozen(Moana, Zootopia and Encanto with 2 sequels coming up)

I like JL but I never understood why she was elevated to that role in the first place. There were a number of folks at WDAS with a much longer history not just with the company but animation in general.
I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if it comes out later that she is no longer directing any of the Frozen sequels. This seems like a nice way to announce a demotion.
