Updated through here!

Welcome to all the new joiners and congrats to our new color changes!!

@2manypets , @cassie58 , @PollyannaMom , and @Twilight Sparkle have reached Genie Blue! Congrats!! And our team as a whole has also reached Genie Blue!! Yay!

Now for a little fun:

Did you guys know that the original sketch of Genie was not nearly as sweet as what we ended up with?? Yep, here is a side by side comparison. Obviously you see the finished product of what we all love and know but the picture beside him was what they almost made Genie look like! I don't know about you but I'm glad they didn't go with that one!

I'm glad Genie went through some revisions before we saw him! The original looks a bit sinister.

 

[2manypets]

Only had time for 40 minutes yesterday.

The original Genie would have scared my kids into not wanting to watch Aladdin! So glad they made him sweeter looking.

Lol! I was so tired last night that I didn't even pay attention to the color change so this is a nice surprise. Olaf is one of my most favorite characters ever.

Congrats to our latest color changer @cassie58 for reaching Olaf Orange!!

A bunch of us are getting close ourselves so here's hoping for a bunch of color changes after this weekend!!

Now that we have some reaching Olaf Orange, why don't we move on to that loveable naïve snowman we all adore?!

1. Josh Gad, the actor who played Olaf, improvised the majority of his lines.
2. The names ‘Sven’ and ‘Olaf’ are actually the same names as characters from the movie In the scene whereJack wins his Titanic tickets in a poker game, the characters he plays with are ‘Sven’ and ‘Olaf’.
3. Olaf’s name is a giveaway clue that his character was supposed to provide comedic laughs throughout the movie. His name can be interpreted to say “oh laugh.”
4. During the song “In Summer,” you can actually see two hidden outlines of Olaf’s body. If you look in his drink cup, you will see his body formed by ice cubes. You can also see his shape in the clouds in the sky when he is lying on the blanket.
5. Olaf references another Disney movie during his dance with the seagulls. It is the same dance routine Bert does with penguins from Mary
6. Does the beach scene in Olaf’s “The Summer Song” look familiar? It is actually a play on the popular Coppertone sunscreen ad.
