In Disney’s Frozen, Olaf is the character voiced by Josh Gad.
Olaf is a cheerful snowman created by Elsa’s magic during the film’s story. Although he is made of snow, he dreams of experiencing summer and warmly embraces the idea of friendship. His comic optimism became one of the film’s most recognizable features.
Josh Gad provided Olaf’s speaking voice in Frozen and returned for Frozen II and related Disney projects. The role combined spoken comedy with musical performance, including “In Summer.”
A common mix-up is confusing Gad’s voice role with the actors who play the human characters. Kristen Bell voices Anna, Idina Menzel voices Elsa, and Jonathan Groff voices Kristoff. Olaf is a fictional snowman rather than a human inhabitant of Arendelle.
