Just forget the mirror. Or maybe we'll have the chance to get an allusion somewhere. Would be so easy to incorporate…

OMG... Disney just announced the German (maybe also the dutch?) voice actor of Elsa and it's Willemijn Verkaik.

A few months ago I've joked about this, but I never thought they would actually do this. So happy right now!

Woah! Two Elphabas for the price of one!

[PatrickvD]

PLEASE let Willemijn do the Dutch version as well. That would make up for the fuck-up that was Tangled.

She can easily do both. *crosses fingers*

This is so ironic! I can picture the description for the audition!

Elsa-The Snow Queen. Blah, blah, blah. MUST PLAYED ELPHABA IN A PRODUCTION OF WICKED

But, really. Wonderful! Great voice! Go Wilemijn!

Wait, where did they announced this?

[Scamander]

Wait, where did they announced this?

There is a press release available on the German Disney press server. I can't link to it, but here are some promo pictures.

[Mach Full Force]

Yeah, Elsa is the result of when the Snow Queen and Kai did a Fusion-ha dance.

Somebody please draw that.

Here's a video from Youtube Disney's Portugal focusing on Olaf with a bit of new footage :

[Edthehyena]

Perfectly inventive, sweet, charming, funny...
Olaf is a good character, a good sidekick. So much better than Pumba, Timon, Mushu and so.
And Josh's voice is so perfect. No one compares.

Olaf seems to be a perfect comic relief character for me..

I mean, he actually helps them out. I found Ray annoying, but I don't think Olaf is annoying at all!

[PatrickvD]

I love the endless falling apart jokes. So inventive and must have been cool to storyboard and animate.

[pangrizabella]

Much as I wish some of the other characters were given the spotlight a bit more in Disney's promotion of the movie, Olaf really is growing on me. I will admit to not being all that impressed with his design initially, but I'm finding Olaf to be very endearing as comedic side-kicks go, and it's the sort of humour that appeals to me.

[unprincess]

^your avatar, sir/mam, rocks! Oliver & Co will always be my sentimental fave Disney animated film no matter how badly it dates.

back to Frozen...

[Musical Master]

Okay, Disney has finally gotten a speaking sidekick, who's warm, funny, and kind of charming in Olaf's own way. If he is as good as the clip makes him out to be; then he has already defeated Ray from TPATF as my favorite Disney sidekick in this new Disney era.

Someone from tumblr:

"Idk if anyone else saw it but i did.. I was watching disney channel and lik OMG there was the frozen trailer right?! But it was slightly different than the one weve all seen!!!

I feel sorry for any Grammar Nazis reading this right now

I couldn't have said it better myself. I thought he seemed very annoying at first, but he seems more endearing now. Though I shall see the movie first.

[universALLove]

Olaf will be the new Dory - A secondary character that is funny, sweet, endearing, well voiced etc. and could ultimately steal the show from the mains

[TheBlibaBlob]

Does anyone know anyone who has posted the entire junior novelisation? I've found some pages but would very much like the whole thing.
Getting rather exciting that the film is less than 2 months away

What? You can't wait for 1 month and 26 days for the film to come out.

I know I have been spoiled on some things. But I'm saving my judgement untill I see the film with my eyes.

Why hasn't Jim Hill written on an early screening of Frozen if he has seen it? I remember that he wrote a mini review of Tangled two months prior to the films release in November.
