Sing Me a Story with Anna and Elsa

Disney's Sing Me a Story with Anna and Elsa is an American live-action series created by Patrick Davidson and Melissa Gould. The series features Anna and Elsa from Frozen, who now own and manage the bookshop in Arendelle. They are usually greeted by children who would like to hear a story. Anna and Elsa interact with the children and narrates classic Disney stories while doing activities around the bookstore. The series premiered on September 8, 2017 on Disney Junior. It is a remake of Sing Me a Story with Belle.

According to Ken Weiner, vice president at Buena Vista Television, using classic vintage Disney animated shorts allows the show to present a higher quality of animation than would normally be feasible in an educational show that would meet the Federal Communications Commission's E/I standards.

By early 2017, it was said that the show would present two short films per episode (with updated music), which Anna and Elsa the children would sometimes interrupt for discussion purposes or to "test cognitive abilities".

Plot
Anna and Elsa live in the Norwegian kingdom of Arendelle and own their own music and bookshop. Helping them at the bookstore are Lewis and Carroll, two magical bookworms, Harmony the Cat and Olaf, a talking snowman. The bookstore is visited by local children to whom Anna and Elsa will tell and sing stories, usually with a moral relating to something that's happened that day.

Clips from vintage Disney cartoons would often be used to illustrate the stories, including:
 * Mickey's Rival
 * Bumble Boogie
 * The Prince and the Pauper
 * The Steadfast Tin Soldier
