And Disney&#8217;s new animatronic will be that &#8211; just a couple of feet tall. Yet it will be a fully articulated character, much like the BDX robots that WDI has brought to Star Wars Galaxy&#8217;s Edge.<\/p>\n<p>WDI and Disneyland Paris showed off Olaf for us at a press event in Paris today.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can get background on the development of the new Olaf in the latest episode of WDI&#8217;s &#8220;We Call It Imagineering.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The new Olaf will debut next year in the World of Frozen lands in Paris and Hong Kong.
