    The “Frozen 2” teaser-trailer was viewed online more than 116 million times, setting an all time record for an animated movie and now Ellen has revealed her own version of the teaser on Friday’s episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and it is too funny!

    The spoof trailer opens with the same scene that fans saw last week, with Elsa (Idina Menzel) using her powers in an attempt to freeze the ocean as she crosses it.

    Then, a familiar voice rises from the ocean. “Hi, I’m Dory, hi,” the Degeneres-voiced fish from Finding Nemo says while trailing Elsa. “I love your hair. That is some pretty hair. Do you blow dry that hair? It’s really, really pretty,” Dory says in her typical fast-paced fashion, only to be ignored by the oblivious Elsa. Take a look at the hilarious clip below:

    Even the waves and a “ooh, slippery rock!” can’t slow her down. “I’m frozen, are you frozen, too?” Dory cleverly says at the conclusion of the mock trailer.

    The original “Frozen” movie became a massive hit when it opened in 2013, earning over $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office, along with two Oscars. It’s still the highest-grossing animated film ever, as well as the 13th biggest movie of all time.

  • Disney Drops First ‘Toy Story 4’ Teaser Trailer

    Disney Drops First ‘Toy Story 4’ Teaser Trailer

    The very first teaser trailer for ‘Toy Story 4’ dropped Monday along with details about the much-anticipated sequel that will emotionally take audiences to “infinity and beyond.”

    The Disney Pixar film is the third sequel to Toy Story starring Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, but Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang are joined by newcomer “Forky” in the teaser trailer.

    Forky, voiced by Tony Hale, was a spork until Bonnie made him into a craft project. Since he was not originally a toy, Forky faces something of an existential crisis. Take a look below:

    The story centers around Woody who has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called “Forky” to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy.

    With the release of Toy Story 4, the beloved franchise now spans more than two decades. The original film was released in 1995, with Toy Story 2 close behind in 1999. The third film, released in 2010, featured the protagonist, Andy, all grown up and going off to college as the toys find a new home with Bonnie.

    “Like most people, I assumed that Toy Story 3 was the end of the story,” director Josh Cooley said in a press release. “And it was the end of Woody’s story with Andy. But just like in life, every ending is a new beginning.”

    Josh Cooley is now helming the film after John Lasseter stepped down from the project and Stephany Folsom has penned the next installment of the franchise after, actress Rashida Jones left due to “creative and philosophical differences” in November 2017.

    Disney•Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” ventures to U.S. theaters on June 21, 2019.

But when he is reunited with Winnie the Pooh, now tattered and soiled from years of hugs and play, their friendship is rekindled, reminding Christopher of the endless days of childlike wonder and make-believe that defined his youth, when doing nothing was considered the very best something. Following an unfortunate mishap with Christopher Robin’s briefcase, Pooh and the rest of the gang including Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger, step out of the forest and venture into London to return the crucial possessions…because best friends will always be there for you.
