Olaf's Frozen Adventure is a short that’s the latest instalment in the Frozen franchise and is currently playing before Pixar’s Coco. If you know me you know I LOVE Frozen so I had to talk about this Christmas short.
On the one hand this is shameless marketing to sell Frozen Christmas products. Anna and Elsa
have new dresses which means Disney can make more toys (which I have already bought!). And possibly the actresses playing Elsa in the theme parks can have a
slightly warmer dress for winter instead of that weird looking padded version
of the ice dress.
However Olaf’s Frozen
Adventure was actually a really entertaining little short. As the title
suggests this instalment really is all about Olaf who continues to be funny and
endearing. It’s slightly longer than the previous short Frozen Fever and is set in Arendelle during the holiday season. Olaf’s Frozen Adventure is full of
little jokes and references to Frozen,
much like Frozen Fever.
Olaf’s Frozen Adventure
also adds something to Frozen. There’s
something which expands upon what Anna and Elsa were doing during all the years
that lapsed during Do You Want To Build A
Snowman? Honestly this thing they added made me cry and I suspect that I
will see Frozen in a slightly
different way because of it. I think Anna got a chance to shine more than her
sister this time round, which is nice because Elsa usually takes the spot
light.
I think it says a lot about Disney that what is essentially a merchandising
opportunity for their two most popular characters managed to be a heart-warming
story. I think Olaf’s Frozen Adventure might
have become a new holiday tradition to watch at that time of year.
