Disney+ to reveal the origins of Olaf in new short

New animated short, Once Upon A Snowman, will debut exclusively on October 23.

Ever wondered what happened to Olaf within the moments after Elsa created him as she was “letting it go” and building her ice palace?

And how did the CP favourite learn to love summer?

The previously untold origins of Olaf are being told in a new animated short – Once Upon A Snowman – which is due to debut exclusively on Disney+ on October 23.

The film follows Olaf’s first steps as he comes to life and searches for his identity in the snowy mountains outside Arendelle.

“This is an idea that started to form when I was an animator on the first Frozen,” said director Trent Correy. “Dan Abraham [Disney story artist] 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.”

Dan added: “Josh Gad gives one of the great animated voice performances as Olaf through the Frozen films. To have the opportunity to work with him in the recording booth was such a privilege and career highlight.”
