Disney+ has announced the upcoming premiere of Once Upon a Snowman, a brand new Frozen short which will explore the previously untold origin of the lovable Olaf, voiced once again by Josh Gad, and follows his first steps as he comes to life and searches for his identity in the snowy mountains outside Arendelle. Here’s the official poster…
“This is an idea that started to form when I was an animator on the first Frozen,” said director Trent Correy.” “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.”
“Josh Gad gives one of the great animated voice performances as Olaf through the Frozen films,” added director Dan Abraham. “To have the opportunity to work with him in the recording booth was such a privilege and career highlight.”
What happened to Olaf within the moments after Elsa created him as she was “letting it go” and building her ice palace, and when Anna and Kristoff first meet him in the forest? And how did Olaf learn to love Summer?
The previously untold origins of Olaf, the innocent and insightful, summer-loving snowman who melted hearts in the Academy Award-winning 2013 Disney animated feature, Frozen, and its acclaimed 2019 sequel, are revealed in the all-new Walt Disney Animation Studios animated short, Once Upon a Snowman.
