When he was inanimate, his eyes were also made of rock. In between his eyes and mouth is a carrot nose. The snow around the top of his mouth is shaped to resemble buck teeth. His head takes up a third of his body, and is oval-shaped with a stretched face. Each arm has four points acting as fingers. He has two sticks as arms and three twigs on his head that resemble small strands of hair. Underneath his bottom are two stubs of snow that serve as his legs to move around. Three black rocks modeled as buttons are on his body, one on his midsection and two on his bottom. Olaf is a small snowman divided into three balls of snow, though he has the ability to rearrange his appearance at will.

Jennifer Lee says that he couldn't just be thrown in, that he had to have a purpose, and one of his purposes is that he is the embodiment of the love between Elsa and Anna. One of his major scenes will be when he sings his musical number "In Summer", which the songwriters Bobby and Kristen Lopez wrote specifically to fit Gad's vocal talent, as the two were fans of Gad's previous work. But they also gave him proper screen time. He is there to interject levity to the scenes. But the directors were very careful not to have him in too many of them or risk him taking over the story. Josh Gad, the voice of Olaf, did plenty of improvements during the course of the recording sessions. That was the idea for the directors when they were thinking what kids would think of a snowman. Like when a child makes a snowman for the first time where the heads are never perfect, and the body is disproportionate. In order to keep him from getting too complex, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee wanted Olaf to have a childlike innocence.

Chris Buck compared that version of the character to a trial run or someone's first pancake where the cook throws out the pancake when the cook finds out that it is burnt on the bottom. In very early versions of the movie, Olaf was supposed to be one of the first guards of Elsa's castle when the concept of Elsa controlling a legion of menacing snowmen was still in the story (Notably, the only snowman minion to remain in the film would be Marshmallow). He may also have the world's most impossible dream, but what he doesn't know won't melt him-or will it? His innocence, outgoing personality and uncanny ability to disassemble himself at good and not-so-good times lead to some awkward, albeit laughable moments. Sprung from Elsa's magical powers, Olaf is by far the friendliest snowman to walk the mountains above Arendelle. Olaf the Snowman (simply known as Olaf) is one of the primary characters in the 2013 Disney animated feature film Frozen. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.“Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot.” In Frozen, fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets off on an epic journey-teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven-to find her sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.
