According to MTV, Buck stated, "I think we're very aware of what is happening in society. I don't think any of us take [them] lightly, even though they can be very funny and entertaining, the messages that our movies have and the influence they can have on young people. When the kids [watch] them, they watch them over and over again, and if we don't have a decent message in there, I think we've missed an opportunity."
Along with Bell and Menzel, it was reported that Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad will also be reprising their roles in the upcoming film. Apart from that, there has yet to be any details regarding the plot of the film. However, there have been many speculations regarding what the characters could be facing in the upcoming sequel.
