If you have not heard about Olaf's Frozen Adventure then consider yourself lucky. Over the past few weeks since the release of Disney's Coco, Olaf has been all over the news for all the long reason. Instead of the normal (and generally short) pixar opening scene, Disney opted to instead read an insane 22 minute feature starring the obnoxious animated snowman from 2013's insanely popular Frozen. The fact that this scene was so long coupled lead many fans and critic to denounce the move, pretty much marking it the worst part of an otherwise critically acclaimed film. One critic even called the move "culturally tone-deaf." After all the bad press, it was surprising when Disney announced that they would be removing Olaf's Frozen Adventure from screenings before shortly clarifying that that was the plan all along. An executive according to EW commented that the run was slated until December 8th, even instructing one alleged theater to try and fit in another screening of Coco. Either way you cut it, its hard to imagine that Disney would remove a short if Olaf was well received and it is very strange that they had this planned all along and now Coco will screen as it without one. Regardless, Disney made a poor move but it looks like movie goers who have yet to catch Coco won't have to sit through this abomination pretty soon.
