Kristen Bell (Showtime's "House of Lies") once again lends her voice to Anna, and Idina Menzel (Broadway's "If/Then") returns as the voice of Elsa. Jonathan Groff (Fox's "Glee") voices Kristoff, and Josh Gad ("The Comedians") provides the voice of unforgettable snowman Olaf. Oscar®-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez ("Up Here") and Robert Lopez ("Broadway's "The Book of Mormon") wrote the all-new song for the short, and composer Christophe Beck ("Cake") provides the score.

In "Frozen Fever," it's Anna's birthday and Elsa and Kristoff are determined to give her the best celebration ever, but when Elsa catches a cold, her powers may put more than just the party at risk.  The tale is told musically with "Making Today a Perfect Day," with Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad lending their voices to the original song. 

According to the songwriters, "Making Today A Perfect Day" showcases Elsa's great desire to surprise Anna—all while battling an ever-worsening cold. "I think on some deep level," says Lopez, "she knows she shouldn't be doing this party. She should be in bed. But Elsa is fierce and her love for her sister is fierce. So the song has a really intense drive to it—especially the piano."

Adds Anderson-Lopez, "We wanted it to be that perfect sunny-afternoon song so that it fought against the situation that she's getting sick; that adds to the comedy." 

Reuniting with the performers was like getting together with old friends, says Anderson-Lopez. "I feel like we've been through something extraordinary together and that connection will never go away."

Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, produced by Peter Del Vecho and Aimee Scribner, and executive produced by John Lasseter, "Frozen Fever" opens March 13, 2015, in front of Disney's live-action "Cinderella." The "Cinderella" soundtrack is also available on CD.
