The highly anticipated Disney animation Coco was just released in the U.S., and fans were so excited to see it that it beat Justice League, making a huge $71.2 million!
H O W E V E R, people who saw the movie in cinemas were presented with a short Frozen film before Coco came on, titled, Olaf’s Frozen Adventure.
Sounds promising right? Everyone loves Frozen and Olaf! Well, wrong. It turned out to be quite the horrifying experience for fans.

“Sometimes I wake up covered in sweat and screaming, filled with the horrifying certainty that I’m STILL watching that seemingly endless Frozen ‘short’ that played before Coco,” one fan expressed.

Judging by people’s tweets, it seems that the ‘short’ went for over 20 minutes, with an endless story line that went NOWHERE.
I’m going to say it, since no one else will. The Frozen short in front of Coco is a giant piece of frozen shit. Olof made me want to punch myself in the face.

Some people have even pointed out that a Disney movie featuring Mexican and Latinx culture just couldn’t have its moment.
Is there an option to watch coco without the frozen movie??? @Disney just couldn’t let brown people have their moment 🤦🏽♀️

My wife's take on the not-good Frozen short that played before Coco: "I guess Disney wanted to show audiences a bunch of white people before showing them a bunch of brown people."

It got so out of hand that Mashable reported there was even a Reddit thread of theatre employees talking about customers complaining that they were playing “the wrong movie.”
But of course, there were some people who didn’t mind it.
As a "Frozen" (and specifically Olaf) stan, I'll have to respectfully disagree with this dique popular opinion. I WAS 🔥 L I V I N G 🔥 FOR THIS SHORT. https://t.co/POceXHbPS2
