How did that silly snowman become the best part of Frozen? How did that silly snowman become the best part of Frozen? Go to permalink When you watch the trailers for Disney's Frozen, the absent-minded Olaf the Snowman looks like he could get seriously annoying. But when you actually watch the film, Olaf steals the show. How did the comedy side character become the best part of Frozen? We talked to voice actor Josh Gad about the process of creating a cartoon character with the spark of life. Advertisement I don't know how much of your face is in the face of the snowman, but I do know that Disney records your face while you're reading lines for inspiration. So what's it like seeing your face and voice coming out of a snowman? Josh Gad: Oh, it's surreal. When I first started the project, I got a chance to speak to the animators. And I got a chance to record some of my stuff for them and show them my physicalization. They do always have a camera on you when you're doing the voice, and then to see that translate into the character...

Here's how I know it's accurate, I took my daughter (when she was about 2 and a half) to go see Monster's University (her first film) and attached to that movie was a teaser for Frozen. Within the first ten seconds she turned to me and goes, "thats Dada!" She knew immediately, it's incredible. I have my own Disney character. There's nothing cooler than that. Advertisement And he's kind of the face of Frozen. It is weirdly the face of Frozen, which is amazing to me. I'm so honored to be a part of something like this. Having just seen the film for the first time, myself I can't get over how good it is. It really is a classic Disney film, It feels bigger than life. It's so wonderful. You kind of steal the show a little bit, but Olaf the snowman is a side character. There's a long list of amazing Disney side characters, who are your favorites and how do you think Olaf holds up to the past characters? Sponsored I think what makes him so nice is, yes, he's essentially a side comic relief character. But he also represents the innocence of the girls. Which I think is an amazing quality.

He is that vestige of their childhood (without giving too much away about the film) that they both kind of cling on to as a time of lost innocence. But to go to your question, growing up I was obsessed with Robin Williams performance as the Genie in Aladdin. I was obsessed with Nathan Lane Ernie Sabella as Timon and Pumba in Lion King. I was obsessed with — I forget the actor's name — who played Baloo in Jungle Book [Phil Harris]. To be a part of that long line of storied characters who do provide, not only the comic relief, but in a way that beating heart. That moment that I remember of Baloo is him standing over and watching Mowgli go. To have the pathos as well in a character as rich as this, it really is a dream come trull Because I was obsessed with these films. I watched them over and over again — we had to get like three VHS tapes of Jungle Book. Those are kind of my favorite characters. And of course Sebastian. Advertisement Advertisement Speaking of Robin Williams, he did a lot of improv which is fairly difficult when you're doing animation.

There's this cadence or a little riff that you do in one scene with the "yeah why, yeah why," that I thought, no way that was scripted, did you do a lot of improv? A ton of improv. Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck [the directors] we were actually talking about this yesterday and I forgot, the first time you meet Olaf, that was the very first thing I ever recorded. It was almost recorded (and not an audition) — but it was an audition for the character himself. To see where we were going to go with him and what the rhythm of that would be. That very first scene you see of Olaf, is literally the very first take we ever did of it. And they kept it in the film, and it was just them letting me play and getting a feel for what this guy was. I think even "the funky looking reindeer" that was all improv. It was really fun to see the animators take this goofy little sidebar stuff, I'm doing it to make the creative team laugh, and all of a sudden it makes it's way into the final film.

But it's one thing to have other actors you can bounce off of, what's it like just riffing alone in a room? There's something very liberating about it. Although I've never been diagnosed, I'm pretty sure I've got ADD. So for me just going into a room and talking to myself over and over again and just scream into a microphone it's a perfect form for my insanity. I love it. I love working with actors. But there's something about the challenge of only having your voice as an asset. About telling a full slate of emotions, a full story, creating a fully bodied character with nothing but the tone, the cadence of your voice. So to me, there's something really exciting about that. There's also something doubly exciting because it's also an opportunity for me to sing, which is something I've never had a chance to do on film before. I did in Book of Mormon I've worked with Bobby Lopez before, but to go and create this character that also has this amazing song in the film, I was pinching myself. Advertisement Let's talk about the relationship between you and the past Book of Mormon songwriters [Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez] who created the songs for Frozen.

What's the difference between singing on stage for these people you know versus singing for Disney? Is it easier having someone you've worked with before or harder? Well, there are a lot less F bombs in this particular production. I was actually involved with Frozen before Bobby was. I did the very first reading before Book of Mormon even existed. The movie was called, at that time, Anna and the Snow Queen. It was completely different. And I thought the project was dead. Then I find out that Bobby's doing it three years later, and they come back to me and I'm doing it again. When Bobby called me about the song that we're going to do… Bobby understands my voice probably better than anyone else, so he knows some of the goofy elements. And I don't know that anyone else would have written it to have this sort of operatic ending that it's got, which is so bizarre and funny. But he knew the quality of my voice and the goofy things that I do. So he was I able to pull from that. Advertisement So singing for a Disney movie, again you play these images back in your head.

I remember seeing a behind-the-scenes video of Robin Williams singing "You Never Had A Friend Like Me" and so to then to be in that room, to do that. To have a full orchestra creating that Disney sound. And knowing that kids are going to forever have that, cause God knows that kids can't sing "Man Up." I can't tell you how exciting that is. How much did Frozen change? How different was your character and the other characters? From when I first started? Completely different. In the very first reading I did, we had Megan Mullally played Elsa. That alone should give you an idea. She was brilliant, but it was a completely different story. The whole thing took on a life of its own once this creative team came on board. Even during the process of the second incarnation, the version people are seeing now, it kept changing. And it kept getting better, and better, and better as the project went forward.

They're not afraid to understand when something's not working and to say "ok we gotta go back and change this." They would bring me back in and I would say, "oh what happened to this scene?" And they would say, "well you know what, it just wasn't tracking with the rest of the story so we're going to start from scratch." "Don't you guys have like five weeks left to animate?" But that's what they do. It's incredible. Gear from Kinja Deals Frozen (2013) - IMDb IMDb There was an error trying to load your rating for this title. Some parts of this page won't work property.

As such, ambassadors cannot be guilty of treason. Additionally, during Medieval times, the state and the monarch were considered to be one and the same; which means that Elsa, as the monarch, cannot be treasonous.

You can tell the Disney animation studio really put mountains of effort and it shows they're firing from all cylinders now. Music and awesome sisterhood story separate this from many animation offerings of the past. Also the computer generated animation is really cool, pun intended. The quality is top. I have a sister and so i felt this deep connection to this feature. I won't lie i was moved to tears.

I ended up visiting my sis and giving her a huge hug which totally caught her off guard. I am really happy to see a movie that can connect worldwide and with something so simple and profound and that is sibling bond and its special quality is demonstrated really amazingly and with a lot of tenderness. I have been singing part of your world and reflection for years and i feel that let it go and most songs i will be singing for years to come. It was new and yet nostalgic and took me back to my childhood years and recreated the spirit of the movies i adored tenfold. It has something for everyone and that is why i loved it so much. Everything from action and romance and comedy and fantasy and not forgetting the tears. Many movies from Disney are always uplifting and this one was even more so and that made this a very special experience. 280 of 506 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes Olaf | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Frozen teaser Olaf coming across the Saffron Crocus flower in the teaser trailer. Olaf and Sven star in the animated short used as the teaser trailer for the film.

It begins with Olaf wandering around the snowy landscapes of the forest when he comes across a Saffron Crocus flower . Intrigued by its beauty, Olaf takes a whiff which causes him to sneeze, his carrot nose flying off into the center of an icy lake, where's it's spotted by Sven, who is on the other side of the lake. The sight of the carrot is enough to get Sven extremely excited and head onto the slippery platform to fetch it, making Olaf believe he is trying to eat it. A race for the carrot then ensues, and the duo finally reaches it, but Olaf accidentally flings it back onto the snowy land. Sven's able to escape the lake and retrieve the carrot before Olaf, much to the snowman's sadness. However, Sven returns and places the carrot onto Olaf's face, revealing he was merely trying to help get it back. Overjoyed, Olaf thanks the reindeer, the two form a new friendship just before Sven's shedding causes Olaf to sneeze once again, though it's his head that goes flying off as opposed to the carrot. Frozen Young Anna and Elsa with the newly built Olaf.

When Anna and Elsa were children, Elsa would use her snow magic to play with Anna. A favorite pastime activity for the two sisters was building snowmen. On one such occasion, Elsa helped Anna build their own snowman to play with. Named Olaf by Elsa, the snowman was not alive, though Elsa does voice him, saying, "Hi, I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!", to which little Anna says, "I love you, Olaf!" Many years later, Elsa would exile herself from Arendelle after her snow magic was discovered and deemed dangerous. In the midst of embracing her abilities at her new ice palace home, Elsa recreates Olaf, but because of her greatly strengthened abilities, he is enchanted and given a mind and will of his very own, though Elsa was completely oblivious of her newfound creation. However, the enchanted Olaf has no memory of the moments spent with Anna and Elsa as a lifeless snowman years ago. The enchanted Olaf reuniting with Anna.

Olaf then wanders around the mountains alone and blissfully lost, until he bumps into Anna, Kristoff, and Sven the reindeer, who seek to bring Elsa back to Arendelle so that she can bring back summer after she accidentally caused an eternal winter. Though initially phased by him, Anna decides to add a carrot nose to the snowman, much to his delight. After making introductions to each other (and Olaf mistakes Kristoff and Sven to have the same name as the latter), Anna soon recognizes Olaf and quickly assumes it was Elsa who built him, to which he confirms. Kristoff then tells Olaf of their mission to bring back summer after Olaf constantly asks what their intentions on finding Elsa were. Extremely giddy with the idea of summer and its warmth, Olaf decides to happily guide the group to Elsa's palace, though Anna refrains from telling him about the dangers of summer for a snowman, so not to disappoint, leaving Olaf comically in the dark. Olaf arriving in the ice palace to reunite with Elsa.

After a short journey, Olaf and the others find Elsa's ice palace, and the little snowman could not have been more eager, rushing up the icy staircase and to the main entrance door. However, Anna decides it may be best to enter alone, without Olaf and Kristoff, and request they remain outside for a minute. Olaf does just that, sitting outside beside Kristoff and counts to sixty, rushing inside once he does, completely overjoyed to see Elsa again. His presence proves there is love and beauty in her powers, and remind her of the joyful moments she spent with Anna. However, their childhood memories also remind Elsa of the haunting night when she nearly killed her sister, prompting her to leave the scene, asking Anna to leave once again. Anna refuses to leave without her sister, but the stubbornness only makes Elsa uncomfortable, causing her to lose control over her powers once again and accidentally freezes Anna's heart. Olaf and Kristoff run to her aid, but Anna claims all is well. She tries once again to get Elsa home, but the Snow Queen refuses yet again, forcefully prompting her next action due to Anna's stubbornness. Olaf and Marshmallow.

In order to keep them away, Elsa creates a personal bodyguard named Marshmallow, a giant snowman. Olaf is thrilled to see another enchanted snowman but is immediately kicked out along with Anna and Kristoff. The harming of Olaf angers Anna, and the princess fiercely (or as fierce as she can seem) throws a snowball at the snow beast, provoking him and leading to a chase. Olaf tells the gang to move ahead as he will distract him, but with his body dismembered, that immediately proves to be difficult. Anna and Kristoff reach the cliff of a mountain and begin making a snow anchor to lower themselves down safely. Olaf meets up with them seconds before Marshmallow, and tries his luck again in taming the monster, but to no avail. Marshmallow continues his pursuit for Anna and Kristoff, but Olaf tries to battle him, leading the smaller snowman to be kicked over the cliff edge, leaving Anna and Kristoff to be captured by Marshmallow, only to escape due to Anna's quick thinking, causing them both to plummet down alongside Olaf, though they all survive.

Once they recover their energy, Kristoff notices Anna's hair turning white, rather alarmingly. To help, he takes the gang to a valley filled with mystical trolls. Along the way there, Olaf and Sven bond, forming a friendship, as does Kristoff and Anna, though in a romantic light. Upon arriving in the valley, Anna and Olaf only see what seem to be inanimate rocks. Judging Kristoff to be insane, Olaf urges Anna to run while he distracts him by pretending to acknowledge one of the rocks, just before the trolls awaken and welcome back Kristoff. Olaf joins in the trolls' cheer before realizing he was mistaken about Kristoff's name. Soon, however, Anna nearly faints due to the powerful curse, and Pabbie , the king of the trolls, arrives upon sensing the magic, informing Anna that if she does not perform an act of true love, she will freeze to death.

Along the way, Olaf is accidentally separated from the group and informs them that he will meet with them at the castle.

When he arrives, he finds Anna in the library, on the ground and quickly dying. After starting a fire to keep the princess warm, Olaf learns that Hans was never really her true love, forcing them to think over another course of action. As they do, Anna expresses her grief, claiming she doesn't know what "love" truly is. Olaf replies by explaining that true love is the act of putting someone else's need before your own, using Kristoff as an example, thus revealing the latter's true feelings to an unsuspecting Anna. Unfortunately, the fireplace's heat within the room begins to take its toll on Olaf, as he quickly begins to melt. He nevertheless refuses to abandon Anna in her time of need, proving she's capable of being loved after all, despite all that's transpired. Suddenly, the library's window bursts open due to the strong winter winds, and Olaf rushes to close it. Before he does, he notices Kristoff and Sven rushing back to the castle.

Elsa restores him and gives him a small flurry cloud to hover over his body and keep him completely cool, finally allowing the snowman to live his dream of experiencing summer and all its warm wonders. During the kingdom celebration, Olaf is seen throughout the village enjoying the sights and sounds of the warm season, taking a whiff of some flowers. The pollen causes him to sneeze, however, and his carrot nose lands directly into Sven's mouth. The reindeer does not hesitate to suck it up, saddening the snowman.

However, this was only a playful trick, and Sven immediately places the carrot back onto Olaf's face, where it belongs, prompting the overjoyed snowman to hug his friend affectionately.

Taking place nearly a year after the events of the film, Anna's birthday has arrived, and Elsa is determined to make the day perfectly special for her younger sister. To help ensure every detail is precise, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven are stationed in the castle courtyard to assist with decorations. After putting the finishing touches on the cake, however, a mischievous Olaf takes a bite, immediately being told he's not allowed to, by Elsa, as the cake is for Anna and must remain in one piece until the princess' arrival. Understanding, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven are then left in charge to keep the courtyard intact until Elsa returns with Anna. Some time afterwards, miniature snow-babies (known as Snowgies ) randomly appear, and instantly catch Olaf's attention.

Though the snowman is fascinated and excited by the sight of new "little brothers", the Snowgies soon begin causing a mess of things and eventually make the birthday cake their target. Kristoff is able to use his swift movements to protect the cake, using Olaf's head as a weapon to knock them over. The Snowgies then tear down the "Happy Birthday" banner. Olaf volunteers to manage it, but with disastrous results. By the time Anna and Elsa finally arrive at the courtyard, the Snowgies have been tamed, and Olaf excitedly welcomes the princess of honor and unveils the surprise party attended by several friends and citizens of the kingdom.

Sofia the First Olaf meeting Sofia in Sofia the First.

Unfortunately, the summoning of Olaf was a result of a glitch within the amulet, which was damaged by Nettle to prevent Sofia from using its power to foil her plans. As a result of this, instead of a princess , Olaf was brought forth, and though the snowman tries to return home, he finds himself unable to do so, again due to the amulet's damage.

Trapped with Sofia, Olaf accompanies the young princess on her mission, during which he unknowingly provides useful advice by encouraging Sofia to push on with her quest to defeat Nettle, despite a lack of magic—using Anna as an example of a powerless human accomplishing the impossible by relying on perseverance. After it's revealed that Nettle stole the flowers because they originally belonged to and were stolen from her, Olaf advises Sofia to use kindness and love to hopefully reform Nettle, as opposed to defeating her, as the entire situation was a massive misunderstanding. Sofia does so by informing the King of Freezenburg about the misunderstanding, who in turns commissions a festival honoring Nettle as the fairy responsible for providing the only flowers capable of growing in their eternally snowy kingdom. A touched Nettle reforms as a result, and fixes Sofia's amulet as a token of gratitude. With the power of the amulet restored, Olaf begins to magically return to Arendelle, bidding goodbye to Sofia and openly hoping for the amulet to break again, so that he may someday return to visit.

And, his desire to experience summer is symbolic of how Elsa wants to return to the old days of her childhood with her sister as her best friend. Olaf's very creation is an expression of how hard Elsa's self-imposed isolation from Anna was on her. The first voluntary act she performs with her power (as soon she decides to " let it go "), is to build the snowman that Anna spent those long years begging her to make with her. As she creates him, she sings the words "Can't hold it back anymore," revealing how dearly she always wanted to go play with her sister whenever she asked her to.

It is possible that the sheer intensity of this long held desire was what brought Olaf to life, and if so, Elsa's later surprise when she discovers Olaf is alive may indicate that she never even admitted to herself how just badly she wanted to rekindle her friendship with Anna. The destruction of the original Olaf marked the precise moment that Elsa and Anna's happy childhood friendship came to an end. Also, original Olaf, much like Anna and Elsa's friendship, was destroyed by Elsa's power running amok due to her internal personal distress. Olaf may have been inspired by "The Snowman", another Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, where the eponymous snowman falls in love with a warm stove, but cannot be with it because he would melt from it. As a result, he does not enjoy the cold weather. Eventually, the weather changes, causing the snowman to melt away. In the film, Olaf's elbows were specifically animated to never move with the exception of his fantasy sequence during " In Summer ". Olaf was specially designed to appear as if a child had created him, with an uneven shape and such, which is a reference to how Elsa models him at the beginning of Frozen when she and Anna are young.

The animation and staging of the scene between Olaf and Sven during the epilog of the film is similar to the teaser trailer's animation and staging, right down to Olaf's exclaiming, "Hello!" In the blizzard scene, Olaf is blown away into the sky by a strong gale, similar to Scuttle in the storm scene in The Little Mermaid . Early on in the film, when Anna and Elsa were seen as kids, Anna tells Elsa "the sky's awake." Olaf would later say this to Sven when they enter the Valley of the Living Rock. Also, as kids, Elsa helped Anna ice-skating with Olaf. Then by the end of the film, Olaf helps Anna ice-skating with Elsa. These are likely to reflect the childhood Anna and Elsa once shared. His role resembles that of the sparrows that assist Gerda in "The Snow Queen". Olaf's name came from an Old Norse name "Aleifr," which means "ancestor's descendant" (referring to the fact that Olaf is Elsa's "descendant"), and is Nordic for "treasure". It is also pronounced "oh, laugh", referring to his role as comic relief.

Coincidentally, "Olaf" was the name of five kings of Norway, the country where Frozen takes place. Before "In Summer", Olaf had a song titled "Hot Hot Ice" which was eventually scrapped. [7] Olaf makes a cameo in Homer Simpson 's video for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. In Frozen Fever, it is revealed that Olaf cannot spell or read. John Lasseter , the Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios , was used as a performance reference for Olaf's line " He 's craaazy..." [8] In order to accurately animate Olaf's walk cycle to mimic the way a child would move, Olaf's supervising animator, Hyrum Osmond, used his son as a reference during production. [9] Olaf is the only character from Frozen that did not appear on Once Upon a Time . The reason for this is because the creators of Once felt he would not fit into the story they were going to tell on the show. [10] Olaf is the first Disney character that was not a princess to appear in the show Sofia the First , as well as being the first male summoned by the Amulet of Avalor .

During renovations of the Walt Disney Animation Studios building, beginning in 2014 , Olaf was one of the character silhouettes featured on the wall mural.

Advertisement The movie zips forward to coronation day, when Elsa, the elder, is meant to take the crown. But everything goes wrong, Anna and Elsa fight, and Elsa’s powers are revealed. She flees Arendelle in a striking scene, running across a fjord that freezes with every step, her cloak billowing behind her. Anna sets off in search of her lost sister, to make up with her and to rescue the kingdom from eternal winter. Get Slate in your inbox. There’s plenty more—the reindeer, the talking snowman, a herd of lovable trolls, the hunky prince Anna falls for, the other hunky guy who helps Anna through the snow.

It’s all meant to be filigree around a strong central relationship, but unlike in Tangled, where the screenplay found a lot to chew on in Mother Gothel and Rapunzel’s screwed-up filial bond , the sisterly connection between Anna and Elsa feels wan and uncompelling. Perhaps that’s because their childhood backstory is rushed through at lightning speed. Perhaps it’s because their first dramatic confrontation, on coronation day, is undercut by the presence of one of those hunky guys, with whom Anna has fallen in love (at first sight), and so what should be a moment of true sisterly drama doesn’t even pass the Bechdel test . Or maybe it’s just that their songs—where character is revealed and emotions are explored—just aren’t that great. Elsa gets a soaring diva number as she flees into the mountains (on which Menzel, needless to say, slays), but most of the songs, by husband-and-wife songwriters Robert Lopez (The Book of Mormon) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, feel musically thin and far less witty than those written by, say, Alan Menken and Howard Ashman in past Disney extravaganzas.

As lyrics go, “Don’t know if I’m elated or gassy, but I’m somewhere in that zone” is no “When the sardine begin the beguine it’s music to me .” “I thought this movie was about a snowman and a reindeer fighting for a carrrroooottttttt!” —the critic’s understandably confused daughter. So the fun of the movie is in Sven and the trolls and, especially, in snowman Olaf, whimsically animated as a physics-defying set of independently mobile snowballs and voiced by Josh Gad as an enthusiastic dunce. (His showcase song is about how much he can’t wait for summer .) He’s so enjoyable that it’s easy to overlook that he bears almost no importance to the plot whatsoever—is indeed a sidekick who seems, to the adult viewer, to have been added when someone worried there weren’t enough jokes. Disney films often have trouble managing tone when their slapstick characters get caught in moments of high drama , but during the dire climactic moments of Frozen the disconnect is sharper than usual – in part because of the promises that the film (and its ad campaign) made up to that point.

What did my weeping 6-year-old say to me, as both sisters faced a horrible fate? “I thought this movie was about a snowman and a reindeer fighting for a carrrroooottttttttt!” On the other hand, by movie’s happy end, she was satisfied with Frozen’s message about the importance of sisterly love. Days later, my kids remember that general theme, but little else about the film’s central story—why the sisters were fighting, how the sisters were different, or even why we cared about them, other than that they were pretty girls in trouble. The same goes for me. The stuff surrounding the central characters in Frozen is technologically accomplished, aesthetically lovely, and often very endearing, reflecting the growth in Disney Animation since Pixar honcho John Lasseter took over in 2006. But the movie is like an ice cube that’s started melting from the inside: sharp and bracing around the edges, but hollow at the center. Marshmallow | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia ―Stitch Kingdom [3] Marshmallow is a supporting character in Disney 's 2013 animated feature film Frozen .

He is an enchanted snowman, personal bodyguard of Elsa the Snow Queen , and guardian of the North Mountain . Contents Background Official Description Marshmallow is an enormous icy snowman born from Elsa's powers. He serves as a brute bodyguard charged with keeping intruders away from her ice palace. The menacing white beast doesn't say much, but he packs a powerful punch. Development Originally, there was going to be more than one snowman similar to Marshmallow, with Olaf being the first member of this snowman army, but was rejected by Elsa because he wasn't threatening enough, very much like how one's first attempt at cooking food often tends to end in disaster, but later attempts become more and more successful (they make a brief appearance in the "Bad Elsa" deleted scene, where an originally villainous Elsa can be seen interrogating two of "Admiral Westergard" (an early version of Hans, the actual antagonist)'s guards). However, these snowmen were ultimately proven to be too successful, that they ultimately went out of control and started going on a rampage and purposely attacking anyone in their path, something Elsa was against.

However, the concept was kept so at least one Snowman Guard would be in the film, with Marshmallow taking that role. Personality Just as Olaf represents Elsa's childlike persona, Marshmallow appears to represent Elsa's powerful desire to be left alone. Because of this, he is extremely aggressive and territorial to intruders or others who try to enter the castle except Elsa, whom he was made to protect. He is incredibly devoted to her in this role, and continued this even when he was injured. However, at the end of the film, when returning to the ice palace, he is shown smiling and letting out a happy sigh after placing Elsa's old tiara on his head. This possibly hints that while he represents her desire to be alone, he could also contain some aspects of her innocence. Despite being a highly competent minion for the most part, Marshmallow still has some bumbling edges, as seen when chasing Kristoff and Anna , who were able to outsmart the snow beast rather easily. Interestingly, in several storybooks and comics taking place after the film, Marshmallow's friendlier personality, shown at the end of the film, has apparently taken dominance, now serving as an ally to the other characters.

This can also be seen in Frozen Fever, where Marshmallow shows no hostility towards Olaf, Kristoff and Sven, while the opposites show no fear of the snow beast, in spite of their previous history. Physical appearance Marshmallow is a hulking behemoth of a snowman, whose joints are comprised of ice rather than sticks, unlike Olaf. His fingers are made from rounded icicles, and are really sharp like knives, with his elbows and knees having sheets of ice on them like knee and elbow pads. As he is angered further, it is shown that Marshmallow's eye sockets light up demonically, and ice spikes will protrude from multiple parts of his body. It is shown that he gains ice spikes on his back, somewhat like the quills of a porcupine or hedgehog, as well as ice growing along his arms. His ice fingers sharpen to become talons, and fangs will grow along his jawline. This helps make him a more formidable fighter, as well as making him appear more threatening. Powers and Abilities Despite being made from snow and ice, he seems to have no real control over it. However, Marshmallow has immense physical strength, which he uses as his primary weapon.

He can grow ice from himself, however, in the form of weapons such as spikes, claws, and teeth to compose armor. He also has shown the ability to breathe blizzards of snow from his mouth. When facing one or two opponents, his immense size and strength can give him the upper hand. However, he does have some difficulty taking on large groups of opponents at one time, due to their strength in numbers and his lack of agility. Like Elsa, his abilities are controlled by his emotions. When peaceful, Marshmallow's appearance is smooth and warm, much like Olaf, though still hulking due to his size. But when angered, the spikes and shards are unleashed, and the more his fury, the more deadly ice shards consume his body, making him all the more dangerous and powerful. Appearances Frozen Marshmallow in Frozen. After Anna arrives in Elsa's ice palace, the princess tries to convince her sister to return home, to Arendelle . However, Elsa refuses, though Anna remains persistent even after Elsa's frequent requests to leave and unintentional freezing of her sister's heart.

With no other choice, Elsa creates Marshmallow as a personal bodyguard to send Anna, her companion Kristoff, and Elsa's first enchanted snowman Olaf out of her home, to never return. After Marshmallow kicks them out, however, he upsets Anna by throwing Olaf onto a snowy boulder. As revenge, Anna balls up a snowball and tries to throw it at the giant beast, but Kristoff, knowing it's a bad idea, keeps Anna from throwing the snowball, telling her to let the giant snowman be. Anna tells him she's calm and seemingly softens, but the moment Kristoff turns his back, she throws the snowball at the giant snow monster. Though it leaves literally no damage whatsoever, the lack of respect was enough to infuriate Marshmallow, causing him to chase Anna, Kristoff and Olaf down the North Mountain. Marshmallow manages to corner them at the edge of a cliff, though Kristoff immediately begins digging a snow anchor, using a rope to safely guide himself and Anna down the mountain to safety. However, Marshmallow catches up to them, though Olaf tries to stop him.

Annoyed, Marshmallow kicks Olaf over the cliff, and continues his chase for Anna and Kristoff, pulling them up to his face by the rope, and ordering them once more not to return, just before Anna grabs Kristoff's knife, cuts the rope, then sends the duo plummeting down, though they survive. With his mission to drive them away complete, Marshmallow returns to the ice palace. Marshmallow battling the soldiers. Later, Marshmallow stakes himself outside of Elsa's castle, disguising himself as snowy boulders in case more unwanted guests were to arrive. Eventually, they do, in the form of the conniving Prince Hans and his army, set on finding Anna and capturing Elsa. The moment they come close enough, Marshmallow reveals himself and jumps right into battle. The soldiers immediately attack the beast with their bolts from their crossbows and spears, infuriating Marshmallow and causing his ultimate form to be unleashed. Marshmallow is able to hold most of the guards off, though Hans proves to be a fierce warrior himself, avoiding each of Marshmallow's attacks and eventually using his sword to slice the snow monster's left leg off, causing him to lose balance and begin tumbling over to a large gorge.

With Marshmallow wounded, Hans begins heading inside Elsa's castle, but Marshmallow doesn't give up, giving one last swing in attempt to drag Hans down with him. Unfortunately, he fails, and the giant snow beast plunges down into the chasm below, apparently to his death. Marshmallow crowning himself. After the credits, it's revealed that Marshmallow had survived the ordeal, and is seen limping back into the castle with a newly-made left leg, where all he finds is Elsa's discarded crown. The monster examines the crown, looks around for a moment, and smiles. The monster, pleasing his inner prince, happily crowns himself ruler of the castle, causing his ice spikes to resign as he gives a happy sigh, becoming docile before happily continuing his life in the North Mountain . Frozen Fever Marshmallow in Frozen Fever. While spending Anna's birthday with her, Elsa catches a cold, and she inadvertently conjures miniature, sentient snow-babies known as the Snowgies with each sneeze. By the end of the day, an immense infusion of Snowgies have been born. Marshmallow, now tame, appears at the end of the short, where he is seen still residing in the ice palace.

Kristoff, Sven and Olaf decide to bring the Snowgies to live with Marshmallow, with Kristoff advising the latter to ignore how the little creatures came to be and simply accept them, much to the snow beast's bewilderment. Cameos An emoticon version of Marshmallow briefly appeared in the Frozen entry of the As Told by Emoji short series. In Moana , Marshmallow is one of the monsters featured on the tapestries behind Chief Tui after Gramma Tala 's opening story. Live-action appearances A copy of Marshmallow appeared in the first episode of the fourth season of the ABC series Once Upon a Time. Out of fear, he is summoned by Elsa for protection when she was pursued by Emma Swan and Killian while in Storybrooke . Marshmallow promptly drives the duo away, and goes on a rampage across town before entering the forest. He crosses paths with the Merry Men, and is provoked into attacking them after they shoot him with an arrow. Before he can crush Maid Marian , Regina intervenes and destroys Marshmallow, leaving behind the snow that had formed him. Video games Frozen: Olaf's Quest Marshmallow attacking Olaf in Frozen: Olaf's Quest.

Marshmallow appeared in the platform game as an occasional enemy who'd chase after the eponymous snowman in a recurring mini-game. He played a similar role (that being a recurring enemy) in Olaf's Adventures, where one of the mini-games involved avoiding Marshmallow's snowball attacks. Disney INFINITY series He is mentioned in Disney INFINITY by Anna, who sometimes says while doing combat that "you're lucky I didn't send Marshmallow after you!" or "I learned that from a giant snowman!" He appears as a legit character in Disney INFINITY 3.0 , as an obstacle in the Frozen circuit in the Toy Box Speedway game, [4] and is also unlockable as a decorative set peice for the Toy Box. [5] Frozen Free Fall Marshmallow is also featured in Frozen Free Fall on a special file named after him, first encountered in level 166. Marshmallow tiles must be dropped off the board like special items or two matches must be made next to them. However, if two matches are made next to a Marshmallow tile, he would roar and cause tiles to be covered in snow, and already snowed tiles to increase in size.

Marshmallow also appears in the console version, Frozen Free Fall: Snowball Fight, as a playable character. Other games Disneyland The Marshmallow puppet at Disney California Adventure. In December of 2014, Marshmallow made his live debut in the Disney theme parks during the "Freeze the Night" party event at Disney California Adventure , in the Hollywood Land area. During the event, a large, animated, puppet of Marshmallow was available for meet-and-greet sessions. Marshmallow also took part in the event's prime stage show, as an animated guest co-host. In Florida, Marshmallow's likeness was also featured during the Frozen Summer Fun! event at Disney's Hollywood Studios , specifically during the For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration show. Marshmallow also appears as an audio animatronic towards the end of Frozen Ever After , surrounded by multiple Snowgies. In Shanghai, a puppet of Marshmallow appears following behind the Frozen float Mickey's Storybook Express . Gallery The Disney Wiki has a collection of images and media related to Marshmallow . Trivia Originally, Marshmallow's render bore a greater resemblance to Olaf.

His body was divided and less smooth, and his arms were made from uprooted tree trunks with their roots as his claws and lacked icicle spikes. Originally, Olaf was meant to name Marshmallow upon their first meeting in Elsa's castle, as well as deem him his brother. However, this was dropped in the final film. Nevertheless, Olaf is still the only character in the film to refer to Marshmallow by his name, thus keeping the naming of Marshmallow in the film, but in a much different way. This would mean that, though Elsa created Marshmallow, she never named him. Interestingly enough, this setup is used when Olaf meets the Snowgies . Before the concept of using a giant snowman as a giant monster, Marshmallow was originally going to be a polar bear. Marshmallow is afraid of fire because his body melts near the fire. [6] External Links 'Frozen' Snowman Olaf Sings 'In Summer' For Disney Movie | The Huffington Post 'Frozen' Snowman Olaf Sings 'In Summer' For Disney Movie 11/13/2013 11:52 am ET Disney's next animated classic "Frozen" will hit theaters on Nov.

27, but the studio released one of the film's high points this week. Set in a winter wonderland, "Frozen" features the voices of stars such as Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, and Josh Gad. Gad voices a lovable snowman named Olaf, and in a new clip from the film, shows off his singing chops. Gad's Olaf performs a tune called "In Summer," expressing his desire for a season of warmer temperatures. Take a look at the charming clip below. Ranking Pixar Characters 'Frozen' Teaser Trailer: Cold War Erupts Between a Snowman and Reindeer - /Film /Film ‘Frozen’ Teaser Trailer: Cold War Erupts Between a Snowman and Reindeer Posted on Monday, June 17th, 2013 by Russ Fischer Frozen started off as a pretty straight-up adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson’s story The Snow Queen. But, as we detailed earlier today , it mutated to become something rather different.

Now it is a story of “two sisters torn apart by a big family secret,” with Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel) as the elder sibling, who cursed her kingdom to be permanently on ice, and Anna (Kristen Bell) as the younger, who tries to find Elsa after she flees the kingdom. Based on some of the concept art we’ve seen, I expected one thing from the film — something rather grand and pretty. But this first teaser trailer doesn’t deal with family or curses, and it isn’t “grand,” exactly. It has a much smaller conflict in mind. Take a look for yourself below. Why is the reindeer a dog? That’s odd. (His name, by the way, is Sven. Not, ahem, Maximus.) I find this looks more like a DreamWorks Animation or Blue Sky trailer than what I expected from Disney, even though Frozen will almost certainly have a less overtly goofy vibe for most of the story. We’ll see how much like Tangled it ends up being. There’s even (gulp) a whiff of ’70s Disney animation, in the way the snowman is designed.

That said, some of the snowman’s actions are clever, and since Josh Gad voices him, he may also be quite funny. Kids will probably be open to this, but still, Disney’s older fans might need to see a bit more before booking tickets. Frozen is directed by Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, with original songs and music by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. It opens on November 27, 2013. Teaser via StitchKingdom . When a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, Anna, a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick reindeer Sven on an epic journey to find Anna’s sister Elsa, the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell. Encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.
