When I went to Disneyland last year and sat in a room where Walt Disney himself stood up and spoke, I was blown away by what Walt Disney Imagineering had made real. And yet, less than a year later, I have seen something that leaves that in the dust. I have met WDI’s robot Olaf, and he is absolutely incredible.
Ahead of his appearance on the stage at NVIDIA GTC today, I got a special preview of the robot Olaf that will make his official debut when the new World of Frozen opens at Disneyland Paris later this month. I also got to speak with Kyle Laughlin & Mortiz Bächer, two members of the Imagineering team who developed the free-roaming robot, who have made something that truly looks like Frozen’s favorite snowman has stepped off the movie screen.
