Have You Been Keeping Up With “At Home With Olaf?”
TGIF Disney friends! If there’s one thing that’s been getting us through the COVID-19 quarantine it is all of the incredible content that Disney is sending our way. From bedtime stories and how-to-draw tutorials to the new DisneyMagicMoments website, these incredible resources never fail to add a bit of Pixie Dust to your days.
One of our favorite Disney offerings has to be the “At Home With Olaf” series of shorts that Disney is releasing providing us with some insights on how our favorite snowman is coping during this time of social distancing. If you’ve not had a chance to check them out yet, consider it your Friday task. To help you get started here’s some of the videos shared by Olaf himself, Josh Gad!

And as if these shorts weren’t awesome enough as-is, there’s also an incredible backstory behind them making the project even more spectacular! According to a recent piece in TV Guide, due to coronavirus and social distancing, all of the shorts included in the series were created at home by Disney animator Hyrum Osmond. Josh Gad voiced the role at home and the end result is a big dose of Disney magic!
Josh Gad took to Twitter earlier this month to announce the project and shedding some insights into how it was all put together.
My friends @alittlejelee & @mrhyrum called me up one day & asked me if I would be able 2 record some dialogue & sounds as Olaf from home. These little shorts done from home by Hyrum & the @DisneyAnimation team are so charming & hopefully provide a smile during these scary times🙏 https://t.co/pjdVGSDa2U
