As fans eagerly wait for a sequel to the animated hit "Frozen," star Idina Menzel backtracked from her comments that there is another movie coming.

In an interview on Monday with the "Today" show, Menzel, who voices one of "Frozen's" leading characters, magical Queen Elsa, took back earlier statements when she hinted that another animated feature in the "Frozen" franchise was in development.

"You know, I have no idea -- I just assumed that because it's so successful that's what they're up to," the Tony Award-winning singer said of Disney working on a sequel according to NY Daily News.

So as "Frozen 2" remains unconfirmed, the movie does not yet have a release date.

Menzel also lent her voice to the "Frozen" soundtrack and specifically the song "Let It Go," which went on to win an Oscar for Best Original Song.

The comments that drove everyone into a tizzy appeared in the British newspaper the Telegraph. Last week, Menzel teased the possibility of a sequel and separate stage production.

"They're all in the works," she said.

Menzel was also asked about her involvement.

"... not the stage show -- I don't know what will happen with that -- but the movie hopefully. We'll see. I'm just going along for the ride," she responded.

Despite there being no official word on a follow-up to "Frozen," there is a brand-new animated short, "Frozen Fever," due out next March. The mini-movie will star all of the same characters as the full-length feature and coincide with the release of Disney's upcoming live-action remake of the fairytale "Cinderella."

In "Frozen Fever," Menzel's Elsa and Kristoff, voiced by Jonathan Groff, want to throw Princess Anna an unforgettable birthday celebration. However, as their party planning continues, they are constantly side-tracked by Elsa's icy magical powers.

Meanwhile, although Menzel's comments about a sequel may have been hasty, the thought of another "Frozen" film is not so far-fetched. The original remains the highest grossing animated film of all time, pulling in $1.2 billion at box offices worldwide.
