On FUNNY OR DIE, Bella Thorne and Mae Whitman star in Disney's latest live-action adaptation of an animated movie. Because honestly, why not?

ABOUT FROZEN:

"Frozen" won two Academy Awards® (best animated film and best original song with "Let It Go") and a Golden Globe® (best animated feature film). It is the fifth highest grossing film of all time and the highest grossing animated film earning more than $1.27 billion globally. Released wide domestically on Nov. 27, 2013, "Frozen" posted the No. 1 industry all-time THANKSGIVING debut and Walt Disney Animation Studios' biggest opening ever. The film's Feb. 25 digital debut was the biggest digital release (sell-through) ever; it's Blu-ray/DVD release on March 18 was No. 1 on the Nielsen overall disc charts for eight nonconsecutive weeks. The "Frozen" soundtrack is the top-selling album of 2014 to date and spent 33 weeks in the top 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, including 13 weeks at No. 1. It is certified triple Platinum, selling more than 3.6 million units. The "Let It Go" film clip from "Frozen" has been viewed over 370 million times on YouTube. Topping the National Retail Federation's Hot Holiday Toys survey, "Frozen" product popularity continues to soar: more than 3 million role-play dresses have been sold in NORTH AMERICA alone, the "Disney Karaoke: Frozen" app reached No.1 on the iPad Entertainment Downloads category in more than 100 countries, and Random House's "Frozen: The Junior Novelization" has been on the New York Times best sellers list for 41 weeks.

Funny or Die is an Emmy-winning comedy video website founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's production company, Gary Sanchez Productions, with original and user-generated content. Funny or Die contains exclusive material from a number of famous contributors (e.g.Judd Apatow, James Franco) and also has its own Funny or Die Team, which creates original material for the site.

Many clips on the site feature well-known actors (examples include Steve Carell, Charlie Sheen, Ryan Gosling, Patrick Stewart, Daniel Radcliffe, Sophia Bush, Mila Kunis, Hilary Duff, Adam West, James Van Der Beek, Jim Carrey, and Selena Gomez). Michael Kvamme, an aspiring young comedian, came up with a concept for a new kind of comedy site and the site was developed by Randy Adams. Videos are voted on by users of the site; those that are deemed funny stay, but those that are not "die" and are relegated to the site's "crypt".
