Ichabod Crane has found a text, a litany of horrors. He begs you to return the wretched scribbling whence it came. He sends you to the Crypt of Tales. Once inside the Crypt you encounter a fiendish ghoul, The Scriptkeeper. He enjoins you to peruse the fiendish fantasies contained within his script; The Snow Queen in “Let It Snow”, The Shark Principal in “Jaws Well That Ends Well”, and finally the Unforgiving Tree. The first Tale from the Script is “Let It Snow.” Your wizard will fight the Snow Queen and her minions.
In a quaint little hamlet on the northern point of Lemuria is a small fishing village ruled over by an isolationist queen who never leaves her castle. The peasants hardly knew she existed, except for the fact that on the day her sister was engaged to be married, the Queen froze the kingdom and brought snowmen to life, snowmen who are AWFUL. Before you can face the Snow Queen you must first face some AWFUL Snowmen.
Frozen is a 2013 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s 1844 fairy tale “The Snow Queen”, it was directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee (in her feature directorial debut) and produced by Peter Del Vecho, from a screenplay by Lee, who also conceived the film’s story with Buck and Shane Morris. The film stars the voices of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, and Santino Fontana. It follows Anna, the princess of Arendelle, who sets off on a journey with the iceman Kristoff, his reindeer Sven, and the snowman Olaf, to find her estranged sister Elsa after she accidentally traps their kingdom in eternal winter with her icy powers.
Olaf is a fictional character in Disney’s Frozen franchise. He first appeared in the Walt Disney Animation Studios animated film Frozen (2013). At the beginning of the film, Olaf is an inanimate snowman created by Elsa and Anna in their childhood. He then reappears in the film as an anthropomorphic snowman created by Elsa’s ice powers, and helps Anna and Kristoff in their journey to find Elsa. He later appears in other related Frozen media, including the sequel Frozen II (2019), and serves as the central character in the featurette Olaf’s Frozen Adventure (2017), the short film Once Upon a Snowman (2020), and the series of shorts Olaf Presents (2021). He is voiced by Josh Gad in most of his appearances.
As a snowman Anna and Elsa built together as kids, Olaf represents the love and joy the sisters once had when they were young before being forced apart. Jennifer Lee (Frozen’s director), said that the character began to take shape once the team had established what he meant to the girls. Lee explained that Olaf represents an innocent form of love. When Elsa is singing “Let It Go” she recalls her last happy moment when she and Anna created Olaf in childhood. Thus, Olaf is imbued with that innocent love and some characteristics of Anna as she was as a child. Olaf also provides a significant amount of comic relief in the film, which Lee described as a “kids-state-the-obvious kind of way”.
Olaf is the snowman that Elsa and Anna build together at the beginning of the film and thus is the subject of the song, “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?”. Olaf also has a strange fascination with summer.
