A free-ranging robotic Olaf from Disney's 'Frozen' franchise has malfunctioned at Disneyland Paris, with footage of the incident going viral. The animatronic snowman was speaking to parkgoers when it suddenly froze mid-sentence and collapsed backwards, causing its detachable carrot nose to bounce onto the ground.
Two park employees quickly retrieved the robot and carried it away. The video, shared by Belgian Disney fan site Magic Tour Club, has garnered over 4.6 million views on TikTok since being uploaded on Monday. The caption read: 'Olaf just melted… literally', adding 'Someone get this snowman an ice bath ASAP'.
The World of Frozen, along with the roaming Olaf robot, officially debuted at Disneyland Paris on Sunday. Disney had previously showcased the robot in November 2025, describing it as able to articulate its mouth, eyes, carrot nose and arms, and engage in conversations.
Disney said Imagineering collaborated with the film's original animators to ensure the robot's movements and appearance matched the character. The company has been contacted for comment on the malfunction.
