Levy and Murin announced their departure in the same tweet:
After almost 3 years, we'll be leaving Arendelle. Words cannot express how grateful we are to Disney, Jujamcyn & all of the exceptional people we get to work w/every single day. Strangers became friends, friends have become family & we will leave with full hearts Feb 16th, 2020❤️ pic.twitter.com/5kTbBwbRxB
