Short film on Frozen’s Olaf

What happened to Olaf in between his creation during Elsa’s “Let It Go” moment and his “warm hugs” introduction to Anna and Kristoff in the first Frozen? These “untold origins” are now the subject of a new animated short coming to the Disney+ this October.

Josh Gad returns to voice the snowman in Once Upon a Snowman, to be released on October 23, where he “comes to life and searches for his identity in the snowy mountains outside Arendelle,” according to a press release.

“This is an idea that started to form when I was an animator on the first Frozen,” Correy said in a statement. “Dan Abraham and I are so grateful and excited to have had the opportunity to direct this short, working with our incredible colleagues at Walt Disney Animation Studios.”
