Now, while 'Olaf' did not cause much confusion in germany (aside from the fact that it adds another 20min to 'Coco'), 'Olaf' will actually be shown on german free tv the night before christmas eve, immediately following a broadcast of 'Frozen'.

In the UK multiplexes we showed "Olafs" along with a re-issue of Frozen this last two weekends. It did steady business early in the afternoon.

Here in Italy Disney seems to sticking to their original decision: Coco will be released on Dec 28 with Olaf, mainly because they are afraid that the Pixar movie by itself won't be attractive enough to younger audiences. They think they'll "trick" them by exploiting the Frozen franchise. I asked, they said this isn't going to change even if they get audience complaints.

We'll see how it pans out. What I personally don't get is why they decided to miss Christmas: it's almost like they didn't want to clash with Ferdinand (Fox, Dec 21) right before the buyout.

Have there actually been any "complaints?" Or is it just confusion?

I think the word-of-mouth on Coco was so good that the Frozen thing was pretty unnecessary. I wish they'd have left it off and put a regular 6-minute short in there instead.
