The Snow Queen 2
2014 film by Aleksey Tsitsilin
The Snow Queen 2 (Russian: Снежная королева 2: Перезаморозка, romanized: Snezhnaya koroleva 2: Perezamorozka, lit. 'The Snow Queen 2: Re-Freezing'), is a 2014 Russian animated fantasy comedy film directed by Aleksey Tsitsilin. It is the sequel to The Snow Queen (2012). The film follows the story of troll Orm who gets mired again in lies and financial irresponsibility after he sees a reflection while working as a miner. The vainglorious troll Orm gets a chance to become a hero again when the Troll King Arrog proclaims the decree that whoever rescues his royal family trapped at the palace of the Snow Queen will receive a grand prize.
Development began in 2014, as the writers signed up for a sequel in response to the rousing reception of The Snow Queen. The animation focused on improving the animation quality of the film from its predecessor.
The Snow Queen 2 was released theatrically in Russia on 1 January 2015, with an international pre-release during November and December 2014 in the United States and the United Kingdom. It became the first Russian film to top weekend box office in a European country. The film was noted for its good humor, bright characters, and epic battles.
A sequel, The Snow Queen 3: Fire and Ice, was released in 2016.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “The Snow Queen 2” as 2014 film by Aleksey Tsitsilin. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2014 film by Aleksey Tsitsilin. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18621595. None of the 6 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014, 2012, 2015 and 2016.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
