Get excited, Frozen fans!

The hit film is being transformed into an ice skating extravaganza that will begin touring in September, and Disney isn't pulling any punches! Viewers can expect a blizzard created by snow machines, a snowflake-inspired stage and gigantic video projection panels, among other surprises, to mimic the movie's wintery setting.

According to the New York Times, the Disney on Ice production will be similar to a touring Broadway musical, requiring 39 skaters and nine tractor-trailers to deliver an enjoyable and entertaining performance each time.

Queen Elsa is also making her way to the small screen. The magical blonde journeyed to Storybrooke in the season finale of Once Upon a Time and will appear in the upcoming fourth season of ABC's fairy-tale drama.

"We're not going to redo the movie, because we just don't feel like it's in anyone's interest for us to redo it," said executive producer Adam Horwitz. "We're very aware of what we think makes this character from Frozen so special and we want to honor that and make sure that what we do is in the universe of everyone fell in love with this past year."

There are also rumors that Kristen Bell, who voiced Elsa's sister Anna, might make a cameo on the show as well, and the Veronica Mars actress has already said that she would love to reprise the character for a Broadway musical or sequel.

"[Director] Jen Lee is one of the most talented people I've ever worked with. She is extraordinary," the 33-year-old star told PopSugar. "If they write it, I will voice it. Happily."
