Did you ever notice that in the titanic at the beginning when jack is playing cards, the two guys he's playing against are Sven and Olaf!! :o

Yes! I’ve realized that. Only that our Frozen characters are named like that because:

Olaf sounds somewhat like “laugh”

Sven is part of the honorary to “Hans Christian Andersen”. That’s why the characters are named Hans, Kristoff, Anna and Sven (they form the word Andersen). 

And the two characters from the Titanic movie are named after two kings from Denmark— Olaf the First of Denmark and Sven the Second of Denmark.

Do you think Olaf is a child (that he'd be one if he were human) or that he's just childlike?

Well, he’s very childish because he represents Elsa’s lost childhood and her need for “warmth” and love and Elsa’s happy when she creates him, when Marshmallow is the complete opposite and he seems to be sad (later angry). 

I do think he would be a child. I mean, considering that by the end of the movie he would be a couple days old.

What do you think about Olaf saying "I guess Kristoff doesn't love you enough to leave you behind"? Is it a hint to the audience that maybe Kristoff is not the true love Anna's looking for? I thought it was a joke, but the more I watch it, the more I think it has a deeper meaning than that.

It has a literal meaning. Kristoff takes Anna back to the castle because he loves her and if you love it, let it go (not as Elsa did). This is one of the many acts of true love the other characters start to do for Anna but they don't save her because the act of true love has to be done by her. 

You have to remember that when Olaf says that line he's explaining what true love is to Anna. "Love is putting someone else's needs before yours like, you know, how Kristoff brought you here to Hans and left you forever" and then he says "I guess Kristoff doesn't love you enough to leave you behind"

It does have a deeper meaning though. The movie makes the audience think that Anna will be saved by the all romantic true love's kiss. This starts back with the trolls who when Great Pabbie tells Anna she needs an act of true love they immediately suggest a kiss. 

At the end, it is Anna's sacrifice of love for her sister that saves her. It's not romantic love but platonic and sisterly love.

Do u find olaf annoying? A lot of people find him annoying.. :/

I don't. I mean, why would I? I guess that people who find him annoying is because he acts like a little kid but at the same time, it's who he is.

Random fact... The 2 guys that Leo is playing poker with to win his ticket for the titanic.. Their names are Olaf and Sven.. Just kinda thought that was cool :)

Yes actually— they’re also called Sven and Olaf. But they’re named after two kings (pretty pretty sure they’re named after Olaf First of Demnark and Sven Second of Denmark.)

When the two lovely Frozen characters aren’t. Anna, Kristoff, Hans and Sven name come from Hans Christian Andersen— You have Hans, Kristoff instead of Christian, Anna for Ander and Sven so sen. I’m 96% sure Olaf is named after “laugh” (because he’s supposed to be fun and jokes and happiness). 

But yeah, it’s a really silly coincidence.

What's your brotp?

Brotps. I have more than one.

I love Sven and Kristoff because of how much they support each other and how they're real friends even if one of them is a human and the other is a reindeer. 

I also love Sven and Olaf. I think they would have the most crazy adventures together. Also it's really sweet that Sven has the power and strength to eat Olaf's carrot nose but he's a good friend and let's him have it. 

I like Anna and Elsa as their sisterly relationship-- which is the main plot of the movie, really. They love each other so much that they sacrifice so much for each other-- Elsa gives away her freedom for her when Anna ricks her life to go find her after she flees. I would like to see them  fix their relationship as they make up for the lost time by playing like they used to when kids in the snow and all that. 

I would like to see more of Kristoff and Elsa because they have a lot in common with the ice and caring about Anna. 

And also Olaf and Anna are so sweet because even though he's a snowman Anna loves him and cares about him and the same goes for Olaf's side. It's so sweet because Olaf is a representation of Elsa's lost innocence and childhood so it's also like Elsa's feeling portrayed in Olaf.

is it weird to ship olaf and sven? because I got some very specific vibes from them and I hope I'm not the only one

Ship as in actual ship or as in brotp? I see them as good friends and I think it’s actually cute that Olaf has one of Sven’s carrots as nose and even though Sven wants to eat it he lets Olaf have it. 

If you’re talking about as in ship actual OTP ship, then I’m sorry. I’m not with you. But maybe someone else is? Maybe you're not alone.

I think we all know what the sequel is gonna be...'Olaf: The Snow Must Go On' XD

I really hope we can get to see more of Olaf. I still insist they should do shorts instead of a 90+ minute long sequel but I hope they really show more of him and his crazy adventures in summer.
