Published every week, this interesting series features highlights from all the divisions of The Walt Disney Company. Let's see what happened this week:


Nov. 27: 5th Anniversary of “Frozen”
It’s been five years since Elsa belted “Let it Go,” Anna taught us about unconditional love and Olaf reminded us that some people are worth melting for…

In “Frozen,” fearless optimist, the Princess Anna, sets off on an epic journey—teaming up with rugged mountain man, Kristoff, and his loyal reindeer Sven—to find her sister Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls, and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.
