About

Olaf's Height refers to a series of jokes and memes about the Frozen character Olaf the snowman. The memes were based on a mock fact about the character's height, which a Fandom.com user purported to be 5'4" (similar to Peppa Pig's Height).

Origin

On October 3rd, 2019, Fandom.com^[1] user Mewtastic updated the page for the Frozen character Olaf to include a false scene from the shot film Olaf's Frozen Adventure (clip below). "Olaf went with Anna and Elsa to the courtyard to greet the Citizens of Arendelle and wait for the Yule bell to arrive. While waiting, he borrowed a ruler from a citizen, and found out he was 5 foot 4 inches tall."
