Hillary Bradfield the Head of Story on Frozen 3 | News | Latest Updates

The Head of Story on Frozen 3 has been revealed to be Hillary Bradfield, alongside Frozen 2's Head of Story, Normand Lemay, by the Laughing Place.

Previously, in Frozen, the Head of Story was Paul Briggs, and in Frozen 2 it was Normand Lemay.

Hillary Bradfield's Disney projects

Hillary Bradfield has worked as a storyboard apprentice on Frozen 2 (2019), and as Storyboard artist on 1 episode of Tangled: The Series (2017), and Encanto (2021), and as a director on 1 episode of Short Circuit (2022), and 100 Years of Disney Animation: A Shorts Celebration (2023), and now as the Head of Story on Frozen 3 (2027).

Normand Lemay's Disney Projects

Normand Lemay has worked as an additional storyboard artist on Encanto (2021), and Wish (2023), and as story artist on Big Hero 6 (2016), Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018), Frozen 2 (2019), and Raya and the Last Dragon (2021), and as a storyboard artist on Frozen (2013), Big Hero 6 (2014), Zootopia (2016), Moana (2016), and the very recent Zootopia 2 (2025), and as the Head of Story on Frozen 2 (2019) again and now on Frozen 3 (2027).

Most of their projects that they've worked on have been hits and successes and it's great to see them achieving superior roles in their career with Walt Disney Animation Studios and getting the recognition they deserve (because I bet most of us didn't even know who these people were until now!).

Frozen 2 expanded the world of Frozen and answered the famous question we've been wanting the answer to to since the first movie on the cause of Elsa's powers and it expanded to knowledge of mythological magic in the universe. Encanto brought deeper characters and a world of heritage and tough family dynamics as well as storytelling in the songs. So I'm certain Hillary Bradfield is going to do an amazing job in her new role as the Head of Story! We can only get stronger arcs, powerful songs, deeper storytelling.

Cast and crew/ Conclusion

So far, the new and seemingly important roles in production that have been revealed are, Trent Correy as Co Director alongside Jennifer Lee, and the Head of Story as Hillary Bradfield alongside Normand Lemay. The main cast have also been confirmed to return with their new recent record breaking pay deal with Disney, but excluded from that deal was Jonathan Groff for unrevealed reasons (most likely because Elsa, Anna and Olaf are the faces of the franchise). Frozen 3 is in good hands and I can't wait to see where this new creative team takes the story of Frozen and the characters arcs.

Friendly disclaimer

Please do not take this as your deciding factor on whether you'll absolutely love the movie or hate it. Bradfield and Lemay have worked on more hits than flops. Their roles on previous projects shouldn't be the reason you like or dislike the movies they've worked on. This is just to give you updates on Frozen 3, not to build extreme hype or build negativity towards it just yet. It's far too early to decide how good or bad the movie could be. We all have our opinions but we must learn to be respectful and understanding. I share news and latest updates here for Frozen and my breakdown and opinions on them.

We are just under 2 years away from the movie's release and should get more content to feed on this year hopefully!

Here's the gif i created for the previous reblogged post bc Tumblr cuts off the content and it is shown now right away with this extra post.

I think this unused scene once was planned as part of the song "Love Is An Open Door"

Story sketch by Normand Lemay

“While rummaging through old pads of sketches, I stumbled on this very early doodle of Elsa on the Nokk from Frozen 2 early conception. I wrote down "loose hair", probably thinking of the freeingstate of mind she would in at the moment. This is how I draw when I'm purely thinking of concepts and emotion. Nothing is on model or even representative.There's a part of me that wants to just draw like this, never cleaning up or fixing any parts. Just sketching”
