Do they wanna build a snowman?

For Paris, I’d honestly be more curious to see a Beast robot from *Beauty and the Beast.

Full-size might be… risky, but a small, friendly mini-Beast could be fun.

Wrong comments.

Apologies.

For some reason ended up commenting here but should have gone here:

Still curious, how Mein Kampf is in the top ten and the included link to a Channel 5 segment ist still relevant also.

But again: apologies for ending up in the wrong spot with this.

>From the way he moves to the way he looks, every gesture and detail is crafted to reflect the Olaf audiences have seen in the film

He looks nothing like a snowman. Snow doesn't look fuzzy. This project appears to focus more on trying to get it moving around in an animated way than getting the character to look right, at least when viewed from photographs.

But how do you know he's made from regular snow and not magical snow that has whatever properties they like? He's literally a talking snowman, lmao.

Watch the movie. Olaf is not fuzzy.
