Overview

• Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff will receive new Audio-Animatronics that swap rear-projected faces for sculpted, articulated designs.
• Disney says the installation is planned for early next year, with no specific dates or downtime details announced.
• The update draws on advances from Hong Kong’s figures to deliver closer-to-film likeness through refined movement, lighting, and sculpting.
• Frozen Ever After opened in 2016 with first-of-its-kind all‑electric animatronics and 3D‑printed components, including a design scaled to enable Elsa’s intricate hand motions.
• The change follows years of mixed guest reaction to projection faces and is described by Disney as a full‑circle application of newer Imagineering technology.
