The Disney Pixar short Olaf’s Frozen Adventure makes its broadcast television debut on Thursday, December 14 at 8p.m. (EST), on The ABC Television Network.
The special is a part of ABC’s “25 Days of Christmas” festivities. “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” just completed a limited theatrical run in front of Disney Pixar’s hit feature “Coco.” The featurette includes four new original Frozen songs and welcomes back the beloved characters who won over audiences worldwide in the 2013 Oscar-winning feature, Frozen, the top-grossing animated film of all time.
In Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, Olaf (voice of Josh Gad) teams up with Sven on a merry mission. It’s the first holiday season since the gates reopened and Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) and Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel) host a celebration for all of Arendelle. When the townspeople unexpectedly leave early to enjoy their individual holiday customs, the sisters realize they have no family traditions of their own. So, Olaf sets out to comb the kingdom to bring home the best traditions and save Anna and Elsa’s “first Christmas in forever.”
“We are thrilled to be part of ABC’s 25 Days of Christmas festivities. While making the film, our crew was so inspired by all of the great television holiday specials of the past. It’s a dream come true for all of us,” said producer Roy Conli.
The ABC special will help keep Frozen fans occupied as they continue the long countdown towards Frozen 2, which will hit theaters on November 27, 2019.
