Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

<!--comes apart again in optional cutscene after you return to world-->
After [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] fall down the mountain again, the animated Olaf steps on Sora's hair, mistaking it for grass, and gets his foot stuck. He manages to take off his foot and walk away, while Sora regains consciousness. Sora then tells Donald and Goofy that he saw a walking, talking snowman, but they don't believe him.
 
Later, Olaf eventually meets Anna, Kristoff, and [[Sven]] and offers to guide the group to Elsa's palace. Upon seeing Olaf, Sora rushes over to him and proves to Donald and Goofy he wasn't imagining. Anna asks if he knows them, which he denies. After introducing themselves, Olaf is carried off by Kristoff and Sven but are attacked by the Heartless, leaving Olaf's parts scattered. After putting Olaf back together, the group split up when the [[Heartless]] attack.
 
After a short journey, Olaf and the others find Elsa's ice palace; however, he is immediately kicked out along with Anna and Kristoff by Marshmallow. The harming of Olaf angers Anna and throws a snowball at the snow beast, provoking him and leading to a chase. Olaf tells the gang to move ahead as he will distract him, but his dismembered body proves difficult. Sora, Donald, and Goofy give Olaf the chance to flee and catch up with the others.
 
When the [[Sköll]] is defeated, Olaf finds Elsa mourning for Anna, who unfortunately froze to death after sacrificing her life to save Elsa from [[Hans]]. As Olaf mourns, Anna miraculously returns to life. Olaf notes that Anna's self-sacrifice for her sister was an "act of true love". His words help Elsa realize that love is the key to controlling her ability, leading her to thaw Arendelle and restore summer.


Sometime after [[Xehanort]]'s defeat, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf go sledding. Elsa watches them launch off a mountain and uses her powers to create a ramp. Marshmallow catches Olaf, whose parts ended up separated before fixing himself.

==Design==
Olaf is a short snowman. He is composed of five snowballs; one head-shaped snowball for his head, a smaller snowball for his upper torso, a large snowball for his lower body, and two very small snowballs for his feet. He has two small twigs on his head to resemble hair, eyebrows, black eyes, a carrot for his nose, twigs for arms, and three black pebbles to resemble buttons. His only teeth are buck teeth on his upper mouth.

==Origin==
==Origin==
Olaf first appeared in the 2013 Disney film ''Frozen'', voiced by Josh Gad. Originally, Olaf was a snowman created by Elsa for Anna when the two were little, but collapsed after Elsa accidentally froze Anna. Thirteen years later, Elsa recreates Olaf when testing her powers, but unknowingly brings him to life. Olaf eventually crosses paths with Anna and Kristoff and follows them in their journey to find Elsa. He does not have a significant role in the story, often the source of comic relief, although he does save Anna's life after Hans locks her in a room and leaves her to perish.
