A couple of weeks ago, before he made his debut at Disneyland Paris, I got to “meet” Walt Disney Imagineering’s Olaf robot. It’s an incredible piece of technology that, thanks to major leaps forward in design, is able to battle many of the issues that might cause the Olaf to fail while iterating with guests. But that doesn’t mean that Olaf can’t fail at all, as we recently learned.
Olaf had his first, though certainly not his last, public failure this week when the robot collapsed in front of guests at Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris. The memes went viral, but good news, everybody. Olaf is just fine, as a recent video showed.
