Disney unveils first trailer for Frozen 2

Parents, Disney just released the first trailer for Frozen 2.

And while the nearly two-minute long preview is packed with action - and a glimpse at a possible new female character - it doesn't elaborate much on the plot, or, more importantly the songs that our kids (and therefore us) will have on repeat come November.

The trailer, which has more than 4 million views in the first few hours, begins with Elsa(Idina Menzel) running into the ocean, using her ice powers to run over crashing waves.

We don't know why she's doing it, but we can guess this second film will take our favourite characters beyond the mountains and fjords of their Arendelle home.

We also get glimpses of Anna (Kristen Bell), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), Olaf (Josh Gad) and Sven - in case you were worried your kid's favourite character wouldn't make the second movie. There's fire, a massive forest and lots more reindeer, too.

But what I'm most excited about is what Elsa and Anna are wearing. They've ditched their dresses for pants-and-flowing-tops combos, and I couldn't be more thrilled.

Don't get me wrong: I adore Disney princess dresses. So does my daughter, who is smack dab in the dress-up phase where getting her to wear anything other than a costume is a battle. Let me tell you, Rapunzel's floor-length gown and no-shoes ensemble is just about the worst outfit a preschooler can wear to a park.

She'll no doubt want to dress just like the Ice Queen and brave Anna after seeing Frozen 2, and I'll be happy to indulge her wearing a getup she can go in - regardless of how many times I'll have to listen to the soundtrack.
