See Young 'Frozen' Fan Shed Tears of Joy Over Josh Gad's Olaf Love
Olaf brought some extra-special warm hugs to one very lucky little girl.
Ariel Shipp is a super Frozen fan whose mom, Amy, recently improvised a faux trip to Disneyland (video below) because the family couldn’t afford the real thing.
The clip got some social-media traction after Amy posted to her YouTube page, and apparently one notable viewer decided to give the little girl a one-of-a-kind treat. Josh Gad, who voiced the snowman in the hugely popular Disney cartoon, recorded personalized message for Ariel using his Olaf voice.
As seen in the video above, the 34-year-old actor proved how much he knows about the young girl: She’s 5 years old, is about to start kindergarten, likes the color orange, and lives with her mother, father, and baby sister Arianna, “who’ll be 2 in July.” He also goes on to mention Ariel’s black lab, Holly.
Olaf/Gad concludes his message with a few refrains of the Frozen song “In Summer” and a touching “I love you” and “warm hugs.” That’s when Ariel gets visibly emotional (at the 2:06 mark), perhaps inspired by her mom, who is behind the camera and audibly sobbing as the video draws to a close.
That’s enough to melt anyone’s frozen heart.
