Frozen: Olaf's 20 Greatest Quotes

The Frozen franchise has proven to be incredibly popular for Disney with fantastic songs from Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell) and great quotes from Olaf (Josh Gad) to keep the audience wanting more. Even the sequel and the shorts lived up up to expectations. With a brilliant story and stunning animation, the films are easy to watch, and the characters are written perfectly with deep emotion so that audiences can easily connect with them.

One of the big reasons the movies are so great is Olaf. The Frozen snowman brings an amazing sense of warmth and humor to the films, and he has quickly become one of the most popular Disney characters of all time. Performed brilliantly by Josh Gad, the popular actor brings the right balance of laughs and emotion to the character. Olaf’s quotes across both movies shine a light on one of the best new characters created by Disney during the 2010s.

“Some People Are Worth Melting For.”

Frozen

This is arguably Olaf’s most well-known quote and it showcases the kindness in his heart. He’s the perfect Disney sidekick for a reason, which is because of his loyalty and friendship, and when the fire starts to save Anna, he is well aware it will cause him to melt. Olaf understands that how much he cares for Anna is more important than whether the heat of the fire will melt the ice that makes him.

The fact that he stays close to Anna despite the heat of the fire shows what his personality is like and why he’s so great. He’s willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for his friend, and this sweet line is one that will bring tears to people as it happens. Kids in the audience might just see it as Olaf being Olaf, but adults will see the bigger picture.

“And Who’s The Reindeer?”

Frozen

One of the fun aspects of Olaf’s character, especially for children watching the Frozen movies and shorts, is that Olaf is very naive, so his questions often seem very silly. In some cases, those questions might even end up being a little insulting without meaning to. That’s the case with this Olaf quote. It’s actually preceded by another question.

When Olaf first meets Kristoff and Sven with Anna, he is very excited and has a lot of questions. One of his first is “Who’s the funny-looking donkey,” and Anna assumes he’s talking about Sven, but he goes on to ask about the reindeer as well, hinting that he thinks Kristoff is the funny-looking one. It’s a sign of things to come in their friendship as Kristoff also jokes about telling him what happens to snowmen in summer.

“It’s An Anagram For Naked Norwegians. And I Can’t Even Read.”

Once Upon A Snowman

Olaf’s spin-off movie, Once Upon A Snowman continued to deliver incredible quotes from everyone’s favorite Snowman. This moment comes from him heading into Wandering Oaken’s, where he makes a brilliant observation about the name. There are often jokes in Disney movies that go over the heads of kids in the audience, but writers for this line from Olaf don’t let the joke get away, having Olaf comment on it.

10 Disney Sidekicks & One Quote That Goes Against Their Personality

From Jiminy Cricket to the Genie, Disney sidekicks have always been loyal and lovable but sometimes say things that go against their personalities.

The full quote from the snowman is even funnier, with Olaf stating: “Wandering Oaken’s? Do you know that if you scramble up those letters, it’s an anagram for Naked Norwegians? And I can’t even read.” It just showcases his brilliant observation skills, adding in his humor at the very end of the line. Having a character that’s as beloved as Olaf give this line makes sure that the audience will be paying attention to any other potentially hidden jokes.

“I Don’t Have A Skull…Or Bones.”

Frozen

Of course, Olaf doesn’t have a skull or bones. After all, he is a snowman. Snowmen aren’t known for having any kind of skeletal system beyond sticks for arms. However, the fact that Olaf feels the need to address this idea to people who already know it makes the quote so hilarious. Josh Gad’s delivery is perfect for this one as well, being as dry and deadpan as possible.

Olaf constantly bringing up situations like this is one of the reasons the character is so likable. He’s incredibly funny and just confidently stating that he has no skull or bones is very funny to hear. Olaf has a way of stating the obvious that is funny for the audience instead of grating. Other animated characters who attempt to do the same haven’t been as well received.

“Hey, We Were Just Talking About You! All Good Things, All Good Things …”

Frozen

Olaf and Marshmallow are both icy creations of Elsa’s magic. Both magical beings made of snow initially appear to have very different personalities. Olaf is fun-loving, while Marshmallow is intimidating. While Olaf isn’t initially as afraid of him as Anna and Kristoff might be, he does still offer these placating words for Marshmallow after asking the others if they beat him.

It’s like a sibling discovering their brother is listening in to their conversation, wanting to prove that they aren’t saying anything bad. Interestingly, after the first Frozen movie, Marshmallow appears in books and shorts without being as hostile as when Elsa first created him to aid in her isolation. It’s as though Marshmallow was a reflection of her fear and isolation, and was able to grow when she was no longer isolated. He and Olaf trade stories and have fun together, so they really do become more like siblings.

“So I’m Made Of Snow, And I’m Walking On Snow. That’s Kind Of Weird.”

Once Upon A Snowman

Throughout the movies, Olaf often makes observations about the fact he is a snowman, questioning why he can or cannot do certain things. During his spin-off film, Olaf wonders how he is able to walk on snow, while also being made out of it, which is a good point when the audience thinks about it. Shouldn’t Olaf just become a part of the snow that surrounds him? It’s likely the magic that protects him, but it’s still a fun question to ponder.

These kinds of questions are what make him such a brilliant character. He’s never satisfied with not knowing things, and the character openly points out flaws from the movies or about his character, which is something that adults really enjoy. Olaf’s questions and clever observations allow adults to get the meta jokes that kids might not.

“Knock. Just Knock. Why Isn’t She Knocking? Do You Think She Knows How To Knock?”

Frozen

In the first movie, Olaf joins Anna on her journey to find her sister. He immediately feels a kinship with Anna and wants to help her, but he doesn’t entirely grasp the emotional significance of Elsa running away or Anna confronting her at first. When the group gets to the palace of ice and snow that Elsa created, Olaf doesn’t understand why Anna hesitates. Anna is unsure of herself after completing the journey, not sure how Elsa will react to her, but Olaf doesn’t understand her fears.

That leads to one of Olaf’s funniest quotes as he questions Kristoff, “Do you think she knows how to knock?” Kristoff just brushes Olaf off, but his line helps to break up the tension of the scene and definitely makes the audience chuckle. In a Disney franchise full of surprisingly dramatic moments, Olaf’s cheerful attitude is necessary to break up some of that tension.

“Don’t Chew That, You Don’t Know What I Stepped In.”

Frozen II

Olaf quite often literally falls apart and ends up with his pieces all over the place which he then has to try and put together. Olaf doesn’t always get those pieces back in the right spot on the first try either. However, sometimes, some other people end up with his arms or legs and that is where this incredible quote comes from, which just shows off Olaf’s funny side again.

Frozen: 10 Most Inspirational Quotes

Disney’s Frozen is an excellent offering in a tradition of great movies. Frozen is all about embracing one’s self. Here are its most inspiring lines.

Instead of being concerned that his leg isn’t attached to his body, he is more worried about the other people who have that piece of him. He happily mocks himself, admitting he could have stood in anything, which showcases his funnier side once again, and somehow doesn’t get old. Perhaps that’s because this line is akin to the joke about “yellow snow” more common in live-action movies that adults will pick up on faster than kids.

“I Can’t Feel My Legs.”

Frozen

Speaking of his body quite literally falling apart, in the original Frozen, Olaf shows a little bit more concern than he does in the sequel when he lands on the floor, and he cannot feel his legs. Olaf continues to scream this quote out repeatedly until he then randomly just finds said legs. Once Olaf has his legs securely in his possession, he instantly calms down.

It’s a hilarious moment that breaks up quite a serious part of the movie. He’s a character that really is built to make people laugh and this quote is a perfect example of that, showing his innocence. Of course, when placed next to his quotes involving missing limbs in later installments, it also helps to show that he grows to understand his body parts can just be put right back in place fairly easily.

“I Mean I Presume We’re Done Or Is This ‘Putting Us In Mortal Danger’ Situation Gonna Be A Regular Thing?”

Frozen II

When the big conflict in Frozen II comes to an end, Olaf is ecstatic that the group is in for another happy ending, but he realizes he might be speaking a little too soon. He wants to know if the group is going to be putting themselves in mortal danger on a regular basis, and it’s a fair question since every time he travels with Anna and Elsa, it leads to dangerous situations. While he is mostly cheerful and enjoys a good adventure, he also is aware that their adventures might result in him no longer existing.

This line from Olaf can also be taken by shrewd audience members as a sign that the Frozen franchise isn’t over. While there have been shorts, a spin-off movie for the snowman, books, and video games, Frozen III is still in development. There have also been continuing rumors about a live-action adaptation of the movie.

“I Kind Of Look Like A Fernando… Or A Trevor.”

Once Upon A Snowman

Throughout Once Upon A Snowman, Olaf is searching to determine his name and his purpose. Obviously, he eventually remembers he is Olaf, and he likes warm hugs, but for a brief period of time, he questions whether or not he could have other names. Some of those names make for interesting selections and certainly entertain the audience.

It is the sheer randomness of the names that he selects which makes this moment so funny. Olaf just plucks these names out of thin air, despite supposedly not actually knowing any names, which is hilarious. It would’ve been funny to see Olaf Presents changed to Fernando Presents or Trevor Presents in keeping with the idea of him not remembering his name. Olaf, somehow, suits the snowman perfectly though, so a name change likely wouldn’t have lasted long.

“I Just Thought Of One Thing That’s Permanent. Love.”

Frozen II

If the first movie shows Olaf as a naive and friendly snowman there to entertain the audience, that changes a little bit in the sequel. In Frozen 2, Olaf starts to think about things a little more seriously as he worries about the amount of change going on in his life. With constant alterations going on, Olaf wonders what is happening throughout the entire film and that leads to this brilliant quote taking place.

Frozen: 7 Times Kristoff Was The Best Boyfriend (And 3 Times He Wasn’t)

In the world of Disney, Kristoff is a pretty unique romantic interest. Here’s how he’s the best boyfriend, and how he sometimes is not.

Olaf finds himself worried that change can be a bad thing. He spends some time trying to figure out if there’s anything that is constant, anything that he doesn’t have to worry about changing. Olaf understands love and romance very well, and that is clear, which is why this quote is fantastic. He ends up trying to reassure himself that there is one thing that is permanent, and that is love, which is very sweet.

“Change Mocks Us With Her Beauty.”

Frozen II

Another great quote from Frozen 2 also involves Olaf’s interest in why things change. This is where Olaf continues to grapple with the idea of change and how things are always being mixed up. He has a very philosophical view of the world in the sequel, which is a very funny twist on his character as he tries to become more mature. He’s growing with the princesses that he spends so much time with.

This is a great example of that as he ponders over change being a literal person and how it would be constantly mocking other people. He accepts that change can be a beautiful thing, but it is still very funny to see him thinking about things in such an old-fashioned manner. It’s not quite out of character for him, but instead, a slight shift in his character as he experiences more of life.

“Bright Side? Turtles Can Breathe Through Their Butts.”

Frozen II

Here’s a great example of how Olaf is able to blend in comedy and his caring thought process into one as he busts out an absolutely ridiculous fact about how turtles can breathe through their butts. He says this in order to provide some positivity and hope when everyone is worried about what’s to come, but it is absolutely hilarious.

The whole thing just comes completely out of nowhere, a new way for Olaf to break the tension in a scene. It’s as though Olaf’s thoughts are moving a mile a minute and he just has to give voice to some of them, whether anyone else wants to hear it or not. It is a line that gets every member of the audience, regardless of their age, and that’s why it’s such a fantastic line.

“Well, That Was Unanimous–But I Will Look It Up When We Get Home.”

Frozen II

This moment is one of the funniest from Frozen 2. Olaf spends a good chunk of the journey the group goes on spouting off “facts” that he absolutely believes to be true. Some of them are random, while others have to do with whatever conversation the group is having along the way. Anna and Kristoff, however, don’t always agree with the supposed facts Olaf offers them. They question some of his facts, and all agree that he’s wrong, and the way he accepts that decision is so funny.

Olaf is happy with their answer, simply because they all agree. However, he doesn’t quite believe them, admitting he will check up on it. The extra line just really makes this moment so much fun, with Olaf questioning things to the finest margin. It’s right in line with his curiosity from the first movie.

“Hi, I’m Olaf And I Like Warm Hugs.”

Frozen

This is another iconic line that Olaf delivers and is one that brings about such joy and happiness right from his introduction. It might even be his most remembered line. It’s impossible not to be instantly connected to a character who just tells everyone that he likes warm hugs, because who doesn’t like that idea in a Disney movie?

Into The Unknown: 10 Other Disney Animated Films They Should Produce Behind The Scenes Documentaries About

Frozen 2 received a behind-the-scenes documentary called Into the Unknown. These 10 other Disney animated features deserve documentaries, too.

The line is initially presented as ironic since Olaf is made from frozen snow, but he likes warm hugs. It’s a sweet sentiment though, and one that kids especially love when it’s paired with Disney’s plush Olaf merchandise. It’s just a perfect quote that sums up Olaf and his personality. He is someone who just cares as his whole function is to cheer other people up which is why he loves warm hugs so much in the first place.

“Love Is Putting Someone Else’s Needs Before Yours.”

Frozen

Olaf might bring a lot of humor to the Frozen world, but he is also incredibly caring and kind, which is why he is such a well-rounded character. As often as he makes the audience laugh, he also reminds them to be kind and caring. It’s also why fans love Olaf so much. This quote, as Anna is slowly starting to freeze, is a brilliant example of his softer side, showcasing how he has quickly worked out what love is all about.

It’s a great quote that a lot of people could learn from, which is why it’s such a powerful message. Disney often features different ideas about “true love” in its animated movies, and they most often involve one person being willing to sacrifice for the other. In reality, people often confuse what love is all about, but Olaf’s explanation is as simple, yet accurate, as it gets.

“It’s Like A Little Baby Unicorn.”

Frozen II

One of Olaf’s best qualities is the fact he can constantly change shape. Snow, after all, is malleable, even when packed down on the ground. It’s why people build snowmen and have snowball fights in the first place. Olaf’s ability to change shape is a tool the animators use a lot, and that includes moving around his carrot nose. In the sequel, he decides to swap it around, with the normal end sticking into his face, which leads Olaf to believe he looks like a unicorn.

It’s just a simple moment in the movie, and one that might not get a ton of attention from another character, but it’s harmless comedy and one line that will certainly have entertained younger audiences. That is ultimately what the character is for in the movies. It’s perfect for Olaf.

“I Can’t Wait To See What It’s Gonna Do To Each One Of Us.”

Frozen II

In the second movie, there’s a running gag that Olaf is full of random information, but also that he’s terrified of the upcoming changes he might not be able to control. Before all of that starts, however, Olaf is more like his usual curious self, asking questions and examining things with all of his child-like wonder. He asks his traveling companions:

Did you know that an enchanted forest is a place of transformation? I have no idea what that means, but I can’t wait to see what it’s gonna do to each one of us.

This question is what starts his adventure into the enchanted forest outside of the kingdom. It’s only as they get deeper into the forest and meet the inhabitants that Olaf’s fear begins to kick in, allowing the audience to see a different side to the snowman.

“Oh, Look At That. I’ve Been Impaled.”

Frozen

This is the perfect example of how hilarious Olaf is within Frozen as he brings his dry sense of humor and absolutely nails this line. His character is so playful and full of joy that he doesn’t take many things seriously, and this is the best example of that. Josh Gad’s delivery of Olaf’s realization is perfection.

After being launched through an icicle, Olaf ends with his body just hanging as an icicle runs through his torso. While most would panic and not know what to do, Olaf provides an incredibly relaxed approach as he tells everyone he has been impaled, and it is impossible for the audience to not at him laugh here. He’s carefree in a moment that might terrify other people. Moments like this are what make Olaf such a beloved part of the Frozen franchise.
