    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Olaf first wakes up after getting knocked down the hill by Elsa's cape, the lines he says about being alive and being able to juggle are a reference to Burl Ives' Frosty the Snowman (1951). Frosty can juggle, but Olaf cannot.
    • Goofs
      Olaf tries a paddle ball for a nose. The paddle ball wasn't invented until the 1920s.
    • Quotes

      Olaf: Wandering Oaken's? Do you know that if you scramble up those letters, it's an anagram for Naked Norwegians? And I can't even read.

    • Crazy credits
      During the credits, Olaf is seen coming across Anna, Kristoff and Sven who will eventually give him his carrot nose.
    • Connections
      Featured in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: Disney's Dishonor (2020)

    I just love Olaf so much! And this mini is all I needed. There's not one negative comment to be made about this, on my opinion!
