HOLLYWOOD—”Frozen,” the popular 3D animated film, produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios is being transformed into a novel form.

Random House, a substantial trade book publisher, released news of creating a book to continue the series rather than a second film.

The film was a commercial and critical success bringing in over $1.2 billion in revenue at the world wide box-office. Critics have heralded “Frozen” as the best Disney animation/musical that has been brought to the big screen.

The book will go on sale January 6, 2015.
