In episode 4 ofDisney+ ’s documentaryInto The Unknown : establish Frozen II , appropriately title " Big change " , the resurrection view of Olaf is highlight as one of those that was trimmed down for the ruined Cartesian product . The sequence sport Trent Correy , Animation Supervisor for Olaf , discussing several shots he had cut fromFrozen 2 , including those from Olaf ’s resurrection , which showed piss droplets from leave of absence reforming as snowflakes . It ’s a detailed sequence that shows the droplets breaking apart , which the light team had also play on as well as Correy , but finally it was scrapped to better service the story .
InFrozen 2 , viewers do get to see Olaf ’s resurrection , as the snowflakes gathered up by Gale , the wind spirit , are brought to Elsa so that she canre - make Olaf ’s snowman bodyand lend him back to life . The cut chronological sequence tote up much greater agreement of how it happened , though , showing where the water that turns into snowflakes number from , Gale pose them , and providing a much clear picture of Olaf ’s Resurrection of Christ in cosmopolitan . The tantrum inFrozen 2still works without showing the droplet on the leaves levitating and turning to Charles Percy Snow , but it would ’ve offered even greater clarity - and much plushy aliveness - if it ’d been kept in .
The cut were particularly awful for Correy , who note in the documentary film that the shots of his removed amounted to around two month knead . He suppose : " The first thing that goes through your drumhead is definitely the hours you put in … It ’s something you have to remember that when a shot gets rationalize it ’s not just me . It ’s the story artists , it ’s whoever rig these works or the drops , it ’s the lighter , the technical school animators … “but sound on to mark that his trust inFrozen 2 ’s directors , Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee , meant that he bed they ’d be doing it to make the write up well .
Olaf ’s persona was one that was neuter in a few ways inFrozen 2 . Another key moment that was shift - or rather , tote up - wasOlaf ’s recapitulation of the firstFrozenmovie , with the exposition originally given to the adult , human characters or else . As Lee notes in the documentary,“We had all this exposition of grown - ups going , ' Why are you here ? ' So now we gave the expositional clobber to Olaf . “Olaf proved to once again be a magnanimous hit with kids in particular during mental testing screenings , so it made sensory faculty to give him even more to do inFrozen 2 . Still , that could ’ve been even better if they ’d establish more of his resurrection view .
