Once Upon a Snowman Clip
Everyone knows that Olaf was created by Elsa in the midst of her “Let It Go” ballad in the original Frozen. What Once Upon a Snowman presupposes is…maybe there’s more to the story? The new short film basically puts the focal point on Olaf in the middle of Elsa’s song, and then watches as he slowly becomes self-aware and has a bit of an identity crisis in the most Olaf way possible.
Look, I get that Olaf is the comedic relief of Frozen, and he makes kids and adults crack up equally. And Josh Gad is still thoroughly enjoyable as the character too. But I feel like we’re getting away from the magic of the original Frozen, especially since this short shows that certain key events in the movie were accidentally caused by Olaf, thereby chipping away at some of the movie’s magic. It’s not necessarily ruining Frozen, because the short still has its moments, but it’s starting to feel like Disney isn’t sure what to do with these characters anymore.
