A new natural history program, The Real Frozen, will bring back the voices behind Disney’s Frozen characters to tell animal stories. Announced on November 9, the National Geographic series will examine wildlife facing severe winter conditions in Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland.

According to Disney, the narrators will include Kristen Bell as Anna, Idina Menzel as Elsa and Jonathan Groff as Kristoff. Josh Gad will also appear in his Olaf role, making special appearances rather than joining the main narration lineup.

The program will look at animal behavior, relationships and methods of survival. Disney says its storytelling will link those experiences to the franchise’s themes of trust, transformation and courage, using a concept that imagines the animated characters inhabiting the real environments depicted.

Viewers will be able to watch The Real Frozen on the National Geographic channel as well as Disney+ and Hulu.
