Disneyland Paris has inaugurated 'The World of Frozen' in its Disney Adventure area, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the universe of the film. The new attraction includes an ice sculpture fountain, the 'Frozen Ever After' ride and an interactive Olaf. The original 2013 film, which tells the story of sisters Elsa and Anna of Arendelle, was a resounding success, becoming the highest-grossing animated film in history at the time. The creative direction of Walt Disney Imagineering, led by Michel den Dulk, has been key to materializing this world in Paris, replicating the success obtained in other Disney parks such as Walt Disney World in Florida and Hong Kong Disneyland.

The incorporation of Olaf, the lovable snowman, has been possible thanks to innovation in robotics. This advance allows Olaf to have a free personality and interact with visitors. The Imagineering team collaborated with the company's research and development studio in Zurich, Switzerland, and with Walt Disney Imagineering headquarters in Glendale, California, to create a hyper-realistic Olaf. The character has the voice of Josh Gad and animators from the original film, which guarantees an authentic and magical experience. Although he can't give hugs yet, the goal is for visitors to be able to approach and admire Olaf.

The 'Frozen Ever After' ride is a family-friendly experience that takes visitors on a musical journey through Arendelle. Den Dulk, when designing the attraction, considered what works best in the parks and the expectations of visitors. The attraction includes a small drop, creating a surprise moment for users. The creation of the World of Frozen in Paris was inspired by the world-building of the film. The team faced challenges, such as the creation of ice, which was resolved through the use of stainless steel and visual effects to simulate transparency.

The fountain in the center of Arendelle uses thin fiber optic pipes embedded in transparent crystals, creating a bright and magical effect, especially at night. The goal is for visitors to feel like they are entering the kingdom of Arendelle, recognizing and loving the elements of the film. The result is a complete immersion in the Frozen universe, combining technology, design and the magic of Disney.

The show 'A Celebration of Arendelle' is a 15-minute production that takes place in Arendelle Bay, with all the main characters. The characters parade on Viking ships, including Kristoff and Olaf, and Anna and Elsa. The film's composers, Bobby Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, worked closely with the team to create this show.

The duo, winner of the Oscar for Best Original Song for the film, and also for the sequel 'Frozen 2', created custom lyrics for iconic songs like 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?' and 'Let it Go'. The collaboration between the original creators and the Imagineering team underlines the importance of maintaining the authenticity and spirit of the film in the park experience. The combination of music, characters and a themed environment creates a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.
