How does a film like Frozen II get made? This was Greg’s beginning which led to behind the scenes look at how the Frozen II research team journeyed to Norway, Finland, and Iceland. Standing in front of a podium with Frozen II emblazoned on the front, he welcomed us to the event, and started talking about the film that everyone in the theatre was so eager to see. The show commenced with Greg Mason, Vice President of Marketing for the Walt Disney Studios in Canada. So many Anna and Elsa cosplayers, from young to old were filling the theatre by now. Once the adds ceased the screen went blank and guests got up and sought the bathroom and snacks at the concession stands. Over an hour after gaining my admission to the theatre, the countdown clock began, and we were treated to commercials for Disney + and theatrical releases. Just a few steps away, I settled into the theatre to wait. I received my pass, walked by the press line fan zone where the cast would possibly pose for a picture with you and I made my way into the theatre. The hubbub of the line faded as we progressed to the entrance, my name was on the top of the D23 list. The last time she remembered a major event coming to Toronto was with Newsies. One lady behind me was wearing a D23 shirt and gushed about how exciting this was. This being a Disney event, I joined the line and waited my turn. The admission time was a mere two hours away. When I arrived at the theatre I was surrounded by posters for the upcoming blockbuster, and a line of people anxiously waiting to get into the theatre. Much like the soon to be hit song from the forthcoming, I felt like I was traveling into the unknown with this event. Having never been to a D23 event and being a new member to the fan group, I was intrigued by the adventure and couldn’t pass up the opportunity. This was a Frozen II event, featured the principal cast of Josh Gad, Idina Menzel, and Kristen Bell who were there to start their worldwide promotional tour for the upcoming film. On Monday, November 4, fans from across the Toronto area packed the Scotiabank theatre in Toronto to get a glimpse of Frozen II. A D23 event rarely comes north of the border to Canada, but when it does, the event sells out.
