Disney+ and Walt Disney Animation Studios just unveiled plans for a very fun new series of shorts.
These shorts star snowman-turned-storyteller Olaf as he recreates moments from Disney Animation classics The Little Mermaid, Moana, The Lion King, Aladdin and Tangled.
Aptly titled Olaf Presents, these shorts see Olaf step into the spotlight and go from snowman to showman as he takes on the roles of producer, actor, costumer and set builder for his unique “retelling” of five favorite Disney animated tales.
Just like the preview of Olaf’s storytelling that we saw in Frozen II, the charismatic and versatile Olaf demonstrates his theatrical flair, taking on such iconic roles as a mermaid, a genie, a lion king (and most of the parts in between), as he entertains Arendelle with his delightful abbreviated versions of these beloved tales.
Josh Gad returns to voice Olaf with veteran Disney animator Hyrum Osmond directing and Jennifer Newfield producing.
Olaf Presents launches exclusively on Disney+ Day – a global celebration that will come to life across The Walt Disney Company on Friday, November 12, with new content releases, fan experiences, exclusive offers and more.
