‘Kill the snowman’: ‘Frozen’ director Jennifer Lee REVEALS she wanted to axe adorable Olaf's character
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Can you ever imagine 'Frozen' without Anna and Elsa singing 'do you want to build a snowman?' rather let us be more specific, can you imagine the entire movie without Olaf? 'Frozen' co-director Jennifer Lee confirms she wanted to axe the beloved live animated snowman played by actor Josh Gad. Speaking of Gad, he is best known for voicing Olaf in the 'Frozen' franchise, which also helped him seize the role of Le Fou in the live-action adaptation of Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast.'
After the first 'Frozen' movie was released, it was praised for its visuals, screenplay, themes, music, and voice acting; some film critics considered 'Frozen' to be Disney's best-animated film since the studio's renaissance era. 'Frozen' received two awards at the 86th Academy Awards which in colloquial language is also known as the Oscars and numerous other accolades. Regardless, the film was a significant commercial success, earning 1.28 billion dollars in worldwide box office revenue, overtaking 'Toy Story 3' to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time, and carried its position until it was overtaken by the remake of 'The Lion King' in 2019.
