If you've seen Frozen 2, then you'll kno🍰w the unthinkable happened, and everyone's favorite cuddly snowman Olaf tragically (and temporari🌠ly) died near the end of the movie.

It's a tearjerker of a moment🔥, and, as it turns out, the originalไ version was even more upsetting – so much so it had to be toned down after it traumatized the youngsters in the audience.

.

But, it was apparently such a serious punch that the kids in test audiences were getting way too distraught. "One of the major issues w🐭as that Olaf's death scene was causing absolute havoc with the younger viewers," Gad wrote. "They were apparently sobbing, screaming, and fully traumatized by the extended sequence and the tone of the scene."

Even Disney CEO Bob Iger had thoughts, pointing out that kids rꦰelate to Olaf's childlike character. So, eventually, Lee "fought to do an altered version in which Olaf isn't scared, but instead is at peace and comforts Anna before he leaves," Gad explained. "It was one of the lightbulb moments and creatively brilliant pivots that Jenn and the Frozen team are known for at this point." All's well that ends🐎 well…
