Overall Thoughts
Since this short is only eight minutes long it is kind of hard to give it a detailed review without giving away the entire script and plot. But what I can say is that this short is so funny that you should expect to be laughing out loud along with your kiddos! Once Upon A Snowman follows Olaf in the moments right after he was created and fans will get to see what makes Olaf, Olaf!
Since Olaf is one of my favorite characters in the franchise, I was thrilled to see him back in a starring role! He is the same Olaf we all know and love, even though this is even before we got to know him. I think the story is super fun and clever — and also totally cute! The whole family is sure to enjoy it! Parents, be prepared for your kiddos to start singing Let It Go again.
I absolutely love that we get to see him travel through some of my favorite moments in the movie Frozen, and his time in Oaken’s is just hilarious! The animation style is absolutely stunning, which we have come to expect from Disney. Just take a look at the photo below, gorgeous! This short is well worth watching with the family. I mean, it will take you less than ten minutes so why not give it a shot!
