Description: Olaf, the cheerful snowman, comes to life during Elsa’s iconic song “Let It Go.” However, before he can fully grasp his existence, Elsa’s flying cloak knocks him down the mountainside, leaving him to crash into a tree. Confused about his identity and purpose, Olaf embarks on a quest to discover who he is. Along the way, he stumbles upon Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna, where he accidentally gets flattened by Anna as she exits carrying a bag of carrots. Unnoticed, Olaf ventures inside, meeting Oaken and requesting a carrot for his nose. Unfortunately, Oaken informs him that the last batch is sold out but offers various other items instead.
Among these items is an old-fashioned viewfinder showcasing images of summer, which instantly captivates Olaf. Inspired, he chooses a sausage as his temporary nose and happily departs. His joy is short-lived as he is soon chased by a pack of wolves through the snowy wilderness. Meanwhile, Anna and Kristoff’s argument about love echoes in the background. Olaf slides past them unnoticed, diverting the wolves’ attention. He continues his journey, witnessing Anna, Kristoff, and Sven leap across a gorge while abandoning their sleigh. At the bottom, Olaf finds one of the dropped carrots, but it gets crushed by the fallen sleigh.
Heartbroken when his sausage nose breaks, Olaf notices one of the wolves whimpering pitifully. Compassionately, he offers the sausage to the wolf, believing it needs it more. The wolf gratefully licks him before leaving, leaving Olaf with a warm, comforting feeling. This sensation triggers a memory of Anna and Elsa’s childhood bond, helping him finally realize his identity. With newfound clarity, he proudly declares, “I’m Olaf, and I like warm hugs.”
