Idina Menzel and Josh Gad are honoring Frozen!

In recognition of the Disney blockbuster turning 10 on Monday, stars Menzel, 52, and Gad, 42, both shared videos to Instagram commemorating their time working on the series' first film and its impact on the world.

"Happy 10th birthday, Elsa. I love you and my entire @disneyfrozen fam," Menzel wrote, alongside an Instagram Reel featuring a number of clips showing the pop cultural impact of Frozen's highlight song "Let It Go."

Gad shared a Disney+ advertisement for Frozen and its 2019 sequel Frozen II in his own Instagram Reel, which Santino Fontana, who voiced the film's villain Hans, reshared to his own Story. "Ten years ago you welcomed our Frozen family into your hearts and have been showing us nothing but love ever since," Gad wrote in a caption to the post. "Thank you to all the fans around the world who have made this world and these characters worth melting for. We love you!"

In Frozen, Menzel voices Princess Elsa of the fictional land Arendelle. The film's plot revolves around Elsa's magical abilities to use snow and ice and tensions between her and her sister Anna (Kristen Bell). Gad voices Olaf, a snowman brought to life by Elsa's powers, with Jonathan Groff rounding out Frozen's lead cast as Kristoff.

Last Monday, Bell, 43, marked the movie's 10-year anniversary by sharing photos from the film's world premiere on Instagram, as well as several more photos of her and Menzel together over the years. "10 yrs ago tonight, the #frozen [premiere]. A night that changed my life and solidified a forever family I adore," Bell wrote in a caption to that post.

Frozen stood tall as the second-highest grossing animated film of all time until The Super Mario Bros. Movie surpassed it at the worldwide box office earlier this year. 2019's sequel Frozen II remains No. 1 on that list, having made $1.45 billion at the worldwide box office.

The series has grown into one of Disney's most popular properties since its release 10 years ago; a Broadway musical adaptation, theme park attractions surrounding the films' characters and settings and a number of short films set in Frozen's universe followed the series' first film.

Frozen's 10-year anniversary comes just over a week after Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger revealed that Disney is working on two upcoming Frozen sequels.

"I’ve heard a little bit and I can tell you guys, it’s pretty mind-blowing what’s coming," Gad said of the recent news during an appearance on The View last Monday. "It’s pretty exciting,"
