Olaf stole the show in the movie so why not focus some of the marketing on him? He’s my favorite character in the whole movie

If I hadn’t been told by people that this movie was great I wouldn’t have seen it based on the trailer. I just watched it and thought, oh no, another goofy comedy sidekick, they seem to have aimed it at three-year-olds

Olaf is the only reason I didn’t watch this in theaters. He is the only part of the movie that I dislike. So there.

In reply to Darcy. I really think that P&TF was supposed to be more charming, which in it's own way it was, while Frozen was supposed to be more epic. Princess and The Frog was probably supposed to be the Cinderella of our time, but ended up not being because of some of the elements it used. Frozen is more of the sleeping beauty or beauty and the beast of our time.

Well I LOVE Olaf!He is my fave character.
I think this is the best Disney movie because it’s about 2 sisters instead of a prince and Princess.

Hate to break it to you author but my boys felt duped by the “Olaf advertising” and frankly so did it. It was deceitful on the part of Disney. We HATED the movie. If I had known what the movie was actually about, I would have NEVER gone to see it. Is this what Disney has resorted to? Tricking people into paying to see a movie that was completely different than what they thought it was? I was a very unhappy mama when the princesses started singing. I wasted nearly $100 for my family to see a movie that they hated. Thumbs was down Disney.

My daughter and I hated Olaf in the movie. He came close to ruining it. The movie would have been far better without. Sven was okay.

Saw this the day after it opened. Sat there completely confused for the first 30 minutes. Where is the frozen guy? Why is the story about some girl with magic? When did this become a “Princess” movie and why does Disney feel the need to lie to the public to get them to come see some over-sexed cartoon character (when she’s singing and prancing around her ice-castle) who, in the end, doesn’t “need a man” to come save the day?

My daughter loved it and my boys had a good time, but I felt very much like this was a purposefully guided trick to lure a larger audience. And I get it, trailers are designed to highlight the best parts of the movie, but Olaf was such a non-character for most of this movie and not even vaguely mentioning the human characters in most of the lead-up is just obviously a trick.

Why are people so angry about the marketing for a movie they have already decided to go and see?!
How they market it doesn’t matter at this point, at least not to us fans. What does matter is how many tickets they sell, and how successful the film is so that Disney can continue to make films for us to see! How it’s marketed isn’t going to change the content of the film… not at this stage in the game!
