Josh Gad Says Olaf's Original Frozen II Death Scene Left Kids 'Fully Traumatized'
Olaf's death in Frozen II is arguably the saddest moment in the franchise. But, according to Josh Gad, who voiced the lovable snowman in both films, the character's death in the original script was much more brutal.
The actor detailed the devastating scene in his new memoir In Gad We Trust, explaining that writer-director Jennifer Lee had to rewrite it. "Jen and I started recording the dialogue and I couldn't get through it without sobbing," Gad recalled in an excerpt from his book via Entertainment Weekly. "Those first recordings were brutal, and I remember feeling that we were doing something that was going to pack a serious punch."
