With Olaf. simplicity is key. We dont want him to feel like a stretchy, bouncy, all-over-the-place character. He's a snowman; we can puli him apart and put him together. But we want to keep it simple. To me, Olaf is my five-year-o!d boy at home: loving and trusting and pure and very naive.
—Hyrum Osmond. supervising animator
Olaf needed to be able to fali apart, reassemble in any conceivable way, melt and move like snów. We were able to achieve these goals with an easy-to-use rig that was designed with the animators needs in mind.
—Matthew Schiller, character technical director
