This movie might have been out for a number of months, but this sequence still really delivers. Olaf is the chief comedic relief of the Frozen franchise, in no small part due to Josh Gad's fantastic voice performance. But can you imagine him recapping other popular Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast or Tangled?
Disney+ already has a recurring series of shorts starring Forky from Toy Story 4. Titled Forky Asks A Question, each brief episode sees the utensil turned toy ask an existential question about life and features new performances by Tony Hale. This format seems like it would be perfect for an Olaf miniseries. Although whether or not it actually happens remains to be seen.
