"Olaf's Frozen Adventure" is an animated short film from 2017 and the most recent addition to the Frozen universe before the sequel of the Oscar-winning movie comes out. They picked this one to air before Pixar's newest Coco, but after heavy criticisms, they quickly revoked that decision and it will probably be a long time until a short film of this runtime will air before a full feature film again. Oh well.. but still you should not really blame this film here for the bad decisions made about it. It is like a weaker Frozen version in every regard. The music is not as good, the emotional impact is not as meaningful, the funny moments are not that entertaining and the general plot about Christmas traditions is not too significant. But that it is not as great as Frozen oesn't mean it's bad. The beloved characters are all still there, at least in the first and third chapter, the second basically only belongs to title character Olaf. And the looks of it are downright stunning again, we should not take it for granted. Arendelle is such a place to be really, especially during the holidays when there's snow everywhere. Could this short have been better? Most certainly. Is it a failure? Absolutely not. All in all, it makes for a good pick to watch together with Frozen if you want to rewatch the latter. I give it a thumbs-up and recommend checking it out. Don't be too harsh on it only because you loved Coco.
