Trivia about Frozen II includes:

General trivia

The film is the highest-grossing entry in the Disney Animated Canon (box office over $1.431 billion).
A DVD screener version of the film was leaked prior to its home video release on digital and optical media. Said screener was meant to be distributed to film critics and Academy members for consideration in the Academy Awards, and are peppered with watermarks identifying it as for internal screening only.

Tropes

Jossed: Not only was that the popular theory of Agnarr and Iduna's fateful voyage being that of them attending Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding thorougly debunked (said journey was rather due to Elsa and Anna's parents seeking to find the truth about their eldest daughter's magical abilities), it further cemented the status of Once Upon a Time‍'‍s Frozen arc as an alternate continuity with only nominal ties to the original film.
Release Date Change: The film's digital release on Disney+ was moved earlier from June 26, 2020 to March 15, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Pierre Taki was replaced by Shunsuke Takeuchi in the Japanese dub no thanks to Taki having been arrested for cocaine usage (it is customary for individuals accused of drug charges in Japan to end up being pariahs with their works and whichever references to them purged due to the stigma associated with narcotics in the country). Takeuchi's role as Olaf also extended to previous entries in the franchise, both to maintain consistency and to enforce the damnatio memoriae mandate.
Screwed by the Lawyers: While a lawsuit hasn't been filed yet as of 2024, intellectual property experts and commentators alike both weighed in on the implications of releasing a pair of costume boots for children inspired by Anna's travel outfit in the film, as it had red-coloured soles which French footwear designer Christian Louboutin filed a trademark application in the States. The article however mentioned that such a lawsuit would be a potential public relations disaster for Louboutin; a more amicable approach would be a closed-door settlement instead.
Sequel Gap: The film was initially slated to be released exactly six years from the release of the first film; it was moved five days earlier.
Shown Their Work: Besides Disney collaborating with advisers from the Sámi community for the portrayal of the Northuldra, they also produced a special Northern Sámi dub of the film, continuing the precedent set by the Zulu dub of The Lion King and later the Hawaiian and Maori dubs of Moana.
