‘Frozen’ Voice Actress Found Dead at 35 Years Old

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

Sad news to report as we have learned that Sayaka Kanda, the Frozen actress who voiced Anna in the Japanese dubbed version of Disney’s Frozen has died.

The Japanese actress, Sayaka Kanda is known for many voice-over roles including Idoly Pride, Star Blazers 2202, and Convenience Store Boyfriends. She recently voiced Princess Anna in the Japanese dubbed version of Disney’s Frozen and was to appear in the upcoming April 2022 production of Galaxy Express 999.

According to a report by People, Sayaka was found unconscious on Saturday afternoon, lying in an outdoor space at the hotel she was staying at. The voice-actress/singer died after being transported to the hospital. Police are investigating her death as a “probable suicide” but are not ruling out foul play. 

A message was posted on Sayaka’s website by Mitsuhisa Kamoike, CEO of L’aube Inc. which translates to:

Thank you for your continued support of us and Sayaka Kanda. We would like to express our deep gratitude to Kanda for his warm words since the last report, including his support so far.

Today, I would like to report that the family held a funeral in the form of a secret burial at the request of relatives.

As a result of detailed examination by the police, it was reported that there was no incident and that the cause of death was polytrauma shock due to the fall. Regarding the cause of the fall, we would like to refrain from disclosing it in consideration of the honor of Kanda himself and the influence on the people around him, and we would appreciate it if you could include it.

Although we are confused by the sudden farewell to Kanda, we face that fact and take the responsibility of not being able to protect Kanda seriously.

At the same time as various reports have been made regarding the death of Kanda, we have received some concerns. We apologize for this situation.

In addition, please refrain from posting articles related to the privacy of relatives and friends, excessive coverage, and unfounded slander on the Internet.

Mitsuhisa Kamoike, CEO of L’aube Inc.

First trailer drops for new Disney+ ‘Frozen’ series: ‘Olaf Presents!’

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+

Disney’s Frozen is arguably the most popular and most successful animated film of the 21st century, and we think we know why.

If you compare Frozen to its other Disney animated film counterparts, there’s not a massive difference. In fact, the similarities are quite obvious. Each one, for the most part, is one part fairy tale, one part Disney-esque retelling, and one part life lesson. The story of Princess Anna and Queen Elsa doesn’t stray too far from the original recipe.

It does, however, add in a special ingredient that makes the film even more irresistible–and his name is Olaf. Has there ever been a more loving and lovable character? We think not, and apparently, Disney has quite the affinity for the lovable snowman as well because he’s landed his very own Disney+ series, called Olaf Presents.

The series was talked about when Bob Chapek declared November 12 “Disney+ Day” last month. (It is, after all, the anniversary of the platform going live in 2019.)

The new series promises to give us more of the adorable snowman we love as he retells some of Disney’s most beloved stories–and with a flair all his own! Take a look.

We think we like Olaf’s impersonation of Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid the best, so far.

This won’t be Olaf’s first time to retell the story from a Disney feature film. After all, he did a pretty good job of retelling the story of Frozen in Frozen 2.

From the clips in the first trailer for Olaf Presents, we can see that he’s been practicing his take on Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Moana, and we can’t wait to see which other Disney tales get an Olaf makeover!

You can stream Olaf Presents beginning Friday, November 12 on Disney+.

As reported by KOCO News 5: A little girl from Texas dressed as Elsa, singing “Let It Go” from “Frozen” goes viral, capturing hearts across the world.
