Joy for Frozen fans as Disney confirms spin-off DVD that goes on sale TOMORROW

FANS of hit cartoon Frozen are in for a Christmas treat - a special spin off DVD will exclusively be sold by Tesco from today.

Disney and the supermarket have worked together to bring customers a stocking filler that will follow the further adventures of main characters Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and Sven.

The 22 minute cartoon comedy is called Olaf’s Frozen Adventures and features universal themes of family, traditions and togetherness.

One of the songs, Let It Go, from the original film has gone on to become a modern day children’s classic.

Tesco’s Mark Green said: “Frozen is the biggest animated home entertainment film release ever so we think the DVD will present parents with a perfect stocking filler.

“The film features four new songs that are sure to become holiday season favourites and creates a great message of family togetherness.

“This year our Christmas campaign celebrates the many ways we come together over the festive period, so however you do Christmas, we think this DVD is a great treat to enjoy with family and friends.”

Olaf’s Frozen Adventures will be available in 1,000 Tesco stores across the UK and will cost £5.

In the original Frozen, the newly crowned Queen Elsa accidentally uses her secret power to turn anything she wants into ice and casts her home town into an eternal winter.

But her sister, Anna, teams up with a fearless mountain dweller Kristoff, his playful reindeer Sven and a snowman called Olaf to bring back Elsa from her self-imposed exile and save the kingdom.

This spin-off takes place a year after.

Olaf teams up with Sven on a merry mission which takes place on the first festive season since the gates reopened and sisters Anna and Elsa host a celebration for all of Arendelle.

When the townspeople unexpectedly leave early to enjoy their individual festive customs, the sisters realise they have no family traditions of their own. So, Olaf sets out to comb the kingdom to bring home the best traditions and save this first Christmas for his friends.

The original Frozen film won numerous awards including two Academy Awards for Best Original Song and Best Animated Feature Film, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA award.

Earlier this year Tesco joined forces with Disney in a move to revive interest in DVDs and Blu-ray with the launch of an exclusive new format - called Big Sleeve Edition - of the latest blockbuster, Beauty and the Beast.

The limited edition 12 inch vinyl sized sleeves house the discs and also features collectible art cards.
