Other than the leotard for Elsa being likely down played here, wonder what other differences are in this version? Interesting to see what Freddie Starr might get away with here for I did have in my own head canon for the original Snow Queen ITTL that Olaf is like at first a stereotype English butler character putting on the accent only for when he finds himself in a desperate situation that Starr's Scouse accent slips out which kinda of makes him look a bit for fraud in a humorous sense, haha!

Linda Woolverton on scripting the remake:
"I saw the original at the Chinese Theatre back in 1980. Except I remember how the unnecessary 'fanservice' of Elsa in that leotard made me cringe. Junior agreed that we should leave that out when he announced the remake and it came time for me to type the screenplay."
Freddie Starr on returning for the remake:
"When Junior called me about the remake, I said yes right away."
Anyway, Interesting to see when we get to Alice in Wonderland of how the remake will differ from the OTL remake too.
