Olaf Presents is an animated comedy miniseries of shorts that features Olaf (Josh Gad) retelling classic Disney films.[2] The concept originated from a scene in Frozen II where Olaf recaps Frozen. The series received positive responses, particularly for its humor.
Premise [edit]
Olaf performs his own takes on classic Disney films: The Little Mermaid, Moana, The Lion King, Aladdin and Tangled. He reenacts some things incorrectly and exaggerates certain elements. He plays most of the roles by himself, using various things to imitate the characters. At times, Sven, Marshmallow,[a] the Snowgies,[b] Bruni[c] and Gale[d] help him with his performances.
Cast [edit]
- Josh Gad as Olaf[3]
- Frank Welker as Sven[3]
- Paul Briggs as Marshmallow[3]
Production, marketing and release [edit]
During the production of Frozen II, Disney needed a scene that was both amusing and informative, which would break up the narrative's occasional harsh tone and introduce a moment of sheer absurdity. They used Olaf and created a scene where he recites the events of Frozen. The scene became so popular that Walt Disney Animation Studios revived the concept for Olaf Presents. Gad improvised much of his performance in the series.[4] The trailer featured the opening of The Lion King episode, followed by a series of Olaf Presents segments, each showing a different Disney classic. Olaf appears as the Genie from Aladdin before moving on to Moana. Upon the trailer's release, CinemaBlend called it "Frozen meets Drunk History".[5] The series was released on November 12, 2021, coinciding with Disney+ Day, on Disney+, with each episode at approximately 90 seconds.[1] [3]
Episodes [edit]
Each of the shorts were directed by Hyrum Virl Osmond.
Reception [edit]
Joel Keller of Decider found the series funny. He praised Welker's performance and when Olaf acts out Maui peeing.[3] The Wrap writer Drew Taylor called it a "surprising celebration of Disney Animation's history" and "breakthrough in that it is clearly lampooning some aspects of cherished Disney classics, but in a way that is respectful and artistically ambitious". He commended Gad's performance and Olaf's humour, references, and how he could "disrupt" the Frozen world. Overall, he called it perfect, highlighting the animation and comedy.[4] Screen Rant praised his imitation of Heihei, castings of characters, Olaf's attempts to recreate Flynn Rider's smolder, Mufasa's death scene, Olaf pointing out Mufasa eats some of his subjects, and dialogue.[6] Diondra Brown of Common Sense Media rated the series 4 out of 5 stars and praised the humor of the series, while complimenting the depiction of different values, such as curiosity, perseverance, and teamwork, that are portrayed through the characters.[7]
