Olaf Presents
What's the Story?
Inspired by the events of Frozen 2 , when he performs a dramatized retelling of the events of Frozen, Olaf decides to entertain all of Arendelle with his retelling of classic Disney stories. He's in charge of everything from set design to scripts, and even takes on the acting roles. The Little Mermaid, Moana, The Lion King, Aladdin, and Tangled are all performed by Olaf, Sven, and Mashmallow with the help of several mini snowmen. Olaf adds his unique flare to the stories, as he transitions from one iconic role to the next. Olaf's shorter version of these beloved tales feature a mixture of humor, adventure, and drama.
Is It Any Good?
Olaf is his unique, quirky self in this extension of the Frozen universe. Olaf Presents allows viewers to see Olaf's perspective of five classic Disney tales, including stories that feature his own friends -- like Rapunzel from Tangled. Fans of Frozen may be disappointed that these shorts don't include any of the long musical ballads that Olaf is known for. Overall, these are fun and silly stories that are a feel-good experience for viewers.
