What a waste of time this "22min" long Frozen adventure. Even my own kids of 6y and 7y were asking me when does Coco start. What happened to the traditional short animation movie of Pixar? Those were always so nice to watch. And only 5min...

Don't review it badly because it 'wasted your time'. How many of you actually worry about how long a movie is or bother to see how long it is in the first place? You're sitting down at an over priced movie but this wastes your time? Okay.I don't particularly like Frozen as it's just been played too many times and even though I find it annoying this was cute. I liked it and it was refreshing. To people complaining about "OH WHY did they put it before Coco?!" He is trying to find family traditions for Anna and Elsa. He is trying to find FAMILY TRADITIONS before a movie about family and traditions! It fits, shocker I know.Regardless, it was cute. The animation was nothing short of the quality you'd expect. The story is cute and light-hearted and a nice short for the holiday season. Stop being scrooges people.

The original players who are voices for the characters are back for this short feature film. The animation is superb and quite detailed. Anna and Elsa are sisters finally reunited but they don't have a tradition of their own. Olaf decides to find a tradition for Anna and Elsa for the holidays. Olaf has a collection from many of The townspeople. The ending seems abrupt and unexplained to the audience. Still it was great to see them again.

The fundamental issue with "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" is that it's a cute idea for a ten-minute short stretched to an almost unbearable length for no other reason that "Frozen" got popular. Originally set to air as an ABC Christmas Primetime special, the short was later deemed "theatrical" enough that it was attached to theaters playing the latest Pixar film, "Coco."The short follows the adorable living snowman Olaf (Josh Gad) as he goes on an adventure to find new holiday family traditions upon learning his friends Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) don't have one to call their own. After interviewing the townspeople of Arendelle and collecting pieces of different "traditions" in his sleigh, Olaf seems set... until a disaster strikes and his plans seem to be completely ruined. Will he find a family tradition for his friends? Or perhaps do they already have one and just not realize it yet?Much like its theatrical predecessor, "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" is a stunningly beautiful and exceptionally well-made film from a pure, aesthetic standpoint. Character design and animation work is top- notch, and the atmospheric effects such as snow and ice look wildly true-to-life. The cast continues to charm, and it actually boasts some really fun moments, including answering a lingering question leftover from the original film about what happens when Olaf gets too hot.The issue is that the film is just too darned long for its own good. With some clever writing, this could have easily been worked down into a simple, sweet and efficient eight or ten-minute short based around two or three back-to-back songs. And it would have been all the better for it. It feels like writer Jac Schaeffer and the songwriting team are really stretching the material to hit "TV Special" length, and as a result, there's a lot of moments that feel shoehorned and inorganic. Only about half the jokes land with anything other than a flat thud, and outside of the stellar finale (which I will not spoil), the melodies and lyrics lack that catchy snap that the songs of the original film had.I also do feel the need to make an important note for people who are planning on seeing the movie "Coco", to which "Olaf's Frozen Adventure" is attached. This movie is well over twenty minutes, and I've known a number of people who have been irritated by this fact, as it significantly lengthens the amount of time they're in the theater and might interfere with plans afterwords. In addition to the standard fifteen or twenty minutes or previews and commercials, this short basically means that "Coco" will not begin for nearly forty-five minutes after the scheduled showtime. Please be aware and plan ahead. However, this fact is not something I am taking into account for my review- I am judging the film on its own merits."Olaf's Frozen Adventure" is overlong and a bit half-baked. And I can definitely see its unwieldy length turning off many audiences. But the animation is as gorgeous as ever, the cast continues to tug at your heartstrings and it does have just enough good gags and charming melodies to keep you invested. Even if it is really only an extended commercial for "Frozen 2." So I'm giving it a slightly above average 6 out of 10. Worth checking out once. Just don't expect a whole lot out of it.
