Josh Gad Reveals 'Big Mistake' He Made With His Olaf Voice In 'Frozen'—And We Can Only Imagine
Sep 23, 2024
Josh Gad revealed he made one very "big mistake" when voicing Olaf in the massively successful Frozen franchise.
The actor, who voiced the beloved snowman in both 2013's Frozen and its 2019 sequel as well as its many shorts, opened up during a recent interview at Fan Expo Canada where he shared that if he could do it "all over again," he would change one thing.
Gad disclosed the "regret":
"I would not have lent that snowman my voice."
"I would've created a different voice."
He explained:
"It's very weird being in a supermarket and having a little child go like this."
The Wedding Ringer star tilted his head to the side ever so slightly.
He continued:
"That was my first big mistake."
But Gad also added:
"But, you know, people tell me I have a very unique voice."
"People seem to like my voice, so I try to give it to them when I can."

During an appearance on Live With Kelly and Markon Tuesday, the Beauty and the Beast actor revealed that he found out about the upcoming third and fourth Frozen movies while he was on vacation in Greece.
"All of a sudden, my phone’s blowing up. And people are like, ‘Oh my God, I’m so excited about 'Frozen 3' and 'Frozen 4.'’ And I responded, '...So am I?’ I had no idea. Nobody thought to call us up and be like, ‘Oh, by the way, we’re doing two sequels to your movie(s).’"
"But I have since heard some things about it, and it is going to be unbelievable."
"I’m so excited about what they’re dreaming up right now. It’s pretty incredible."
Frozen 3 is expected to hit theaters November 24, 2027.

The Dumbest Things People Got Sent To The Principal's Office For
Sep 23, 2024
Kids will be kids, but that doesn't mean we were completely innocent of committing occasional acts of utter stupidity.
Whenever we acted out or behaved unruly in the classroom, we were often sent to the principal's office because even our teachers didn't have time to put up with our antics.
And if you never experienced this disciplinary consequence, well, good on you.
However, teachers will often exploit their position and unfairly send students out of the classroom for a minor grievance.
The internet didn't disappoint with providing examples of this when RedditorDilophosaurusMilk asked:
"What is the dumbest thing you got sent to the principal's office for as a kid?"
Sometimes, doing the right thing is the wrong thing.
A Good Deed Punished
"My friend broke his wrist (obviously broken) on the playground, and I ran inside to help the teacher find an icepack. It took at least 5 minutes before I lost my patience and ran inside because around a year earlier, I came across one while cleaning the principal's office (that was deserved, tho)."
"Because kids weren’t allowed to go inside during recess (while I helped both the teacher and my friend), I had to stay at the principal's office and had detention for a week…"
– DeporterAcadiens
Young Caretaker
"Back in junior high one of my classmates passed out while sitting outside on the bench during lunchtime."
"One of her friends stayed with her in the office till the other girl's mom came to get her, so the friend was 10-15 minutes late to class."
"The teacher asked her why she was late, and she told her what happened."
"I'll never forget that old bat's response: 'Why? You're not her mother.' "
– Historical_Gur_3054
Lesson In Retaliating
"For getting beat up."
"I kid you not, the principal once told me that if I don't fight, I won't get in trouble. I let this kid bully me and punch me repeatedly in the face, just to avoid getting in trouble. I was still sent to the principal's office, and then told by him that I was in a fight so I'm getting suspended, even though I didn't fight."
"From his point of view, by getting punched in the face, I'm involved in the fight."
"I never trusted authorities again after that."
– Former_Range_1730
Undeserved Punishment
"Similar situation, I was knocked unconscious by someone who felt that I didn’t deserve to be on the lacrosse team."
"After being checked out by the school nurse, my mother and I were told that I was being suspended even though 'the other boy said that he did it completely and fully without provocation and he admitted as such.' ”
– Rhana
If it's offensive, it is worthy of discipline.
Fashion Faux Pas
"I once got sent to the principal's office for wearing mismatched socks. Apparently, it was a 'distraction.' "
– Ellymoree
"That's wild. Reminds me of an episode of Monk. Tony Shalhoub's character couldn't focus on solving a crime because an officer's mismatched socks were triggering his OCD so that officer was sent home. Good show."
– OP
Sometimes, there is just no justice.
Harassed By A Teacher
"Oh 😡🙋🏼♀️.... Let me tell you why I got sent to the principal's office in 7th grade...my shop teacher walked up to me and kissed my hand then, KISSED MY MOUTH. I slapped his face, and he told me to go to the principal's office! This was in front of every single kid in that class!!"
"The principal called my mom, I remember she was in that office within less than 10mins flat. I called that shop teacher down to the office, and they told me to wait outside the office with the school secretary."
"I'm 50 years old, and I can STILL hear my mother screaming/ripping them a new a**hole. I was moved to Home Ec Class. My mom made a police report- her boyfriend was a cop. Nothing else ever came of it. That teacher left the school at the end of the year."
– Wyo911
Suspicious Media
"I'll always remember the time I took the Madagascar CD to school to exchange it for the Ice Age CD with a friend in 9th grade. The CDs didn't have covers, and when the principal caught us exchanging them, he assumed the worst and called our parents to school."
"But then, when the principal opened the CD on his desktop, it was playing Madagascar! My parents were annoyed for being called to school for no reason, and the principal had to apologize. This all happened in India, and it was quite an unforgettable experience!"
– Apprehensive_Day_654
Playing With Food
"They served dinner rolls in the cafeteria at lunch. About 4th grade, a teacher sent me to the principal's office for sticking my finger in my roll. Not throwing it at anyone. Just sitting there bored and playing with my food. I got five licks from the principal. Even at the time I thought this is ridiculous. Still do."
"This was back in the days when if you got in trouble at school you didn’t dare tell your parents and you hoped they didn’t find out because you’d just get in more trouble at home."
– Justbeingme_92
Rotten Apple
"High School - eating an apple in the hallway before homeroom. the VP wanted me to throw it out and i refused because i didn't want to waste food. got detention. was released as soon as the busses left. had to find a ride home."
"at lunch i found the worst looking, bruised, mushy apple i could find and brought it to detention with me. left it on her desk."
– IceeEwe
Fleeing A Threat
"Running to a trusted teacher's room when a girl was chasing me with a freaking shiv. wtf, he literally said, well, you should've gone to the gym coach (it happened in the locker room after pe). I asked him what the hell did he think I was going to do, stop and consider who to go to first? I was about to be stabbed, you idiot."
"I actually said those exact words, this memory is so strong it's like it happened yesterday. He just stood there slack-jawed and then, without saying anything else, said, 'Ok, go back to class.' What a dimwit."
– Opening-End-7346
Other times, the punishment may have been understandable.
Coin Slice
"In 6th grade, I cut a dime in half on a paper cutter, and was given a week of in school suspension for ‘making weapons’. The school was in DC, and the principal also called the Secret Service for ‘defacing money.' "
"An agent actually showed up! He spoke to me for all of 30 seconds, basically saying I’d have been smarter to use it at an ice cream truck, and half a dime is no use to anyone."
"A science teacher who took a shine to me later told me that the agent spent half an hour with the principal, explaining that his call was stupid, an absolute waste of time, and not to do it again. Made that week in ISS go a little easier for me."
– Wax_and_Wane
Witch Hunt
"I got interested in the Salem witch trials when I was about 11, and as a fast reader who hyper-fixates, I had checked several books out of the library on the topic to read. I kept these books on my desk and carried them around while doing my research."
"One of the other kids in my class went crying to the principal that I was a witch, so I got called into the principal's office to explain my choice of reading."
"Thankfully the principal took one look at my books, saw that they were all non-fiction/history, and pretty much laughed me out of the office. (For context, this was the early 90s, so the Satanic panic was still going fairly strong.)"
– Beshelar
I have a naturally resonant voice that always gets me into trouble.
I wasn't necessarily sent to the principal's office, but I did have to stay after school for detention on more than two occasions because I was talking in class involuntarily loudly.
My middle school classmates weren't necessarily always quiet during class. They always talked about their weekend plans or who they thought was cute as their amorous feelings were taking shape.
Unfortunately, whenever I casually tried to engage in hushed conversations, I didn't know how to control my voice, and I often peeved the teachers and embarrassed the students. As a result of the interruption I had to deal with the consequences of that.
Sigh. At least I was able to make a theatrical career out of it eventually.

Mom Brought To Tears After Disneyland Costumed Characters Sign With Her Deaf Son
Sep 22, 2024
Disney has been described as "The Happiest Place on Earth" by many, and it's largely for the experience of seeing some of our favorite stories come to life in the form of realistic displays, rides, and of course, the cast of costumed Disney characters that can be found around the park.
The Foster family on Instagram was nothing short of elated at the prospect of going to Disneyland. On her Instagram profile, Carrie Foster describes herself and her husband as "hearing parents," while her son, Luca, is diagnosed as Hard of Hearing, and they're learning American Sign Language (ASL).
While the family was excited to see a lot of things, they were especially looking forward to meeting the cast of characters from Toy Story, Luca's favorite film.
On their way to Disneyland, Foster repeatedly promised her son that he would get to meet Buzz, Bo Peep, Jessie, and Woody.
And one day, they were able to keep that promise—but they had no idea of just how magical the moment would be.
Early in the day, the family met Buzz and Jessie, but later in the day, they visited the character area again to meet Woody and Bo Peep, who realized that Foster was using ASL with her son.
Bo Peep immediately started signing with Luca, who brightened at the interaction. Foster had tears in her eyes at the effort the characters made to make Luca feel comfortable and included, and she was even more touched when Bo Peep signed, "I love you" to Luca before they left the character area.
The caption of the video read:
"When your heroes speak your language..."
"Bo Peep and Woody signed with our little one, and our hearts just melted! Pure Disney magic!"
"Leading up to Disneyland, we kept telling Luca he was going to meet Buzz, Bo Peep, Jessie, and Woody. I’d seen other characters signing with Deaf guests, but when Bo Peep saw me signing with Luca and immediately started signing back, I was floored."
"It brought me to tears, and every time I watch it, I cry all over again."
"The inclusion, the understanding, the acceptance, it’s everything I hoped for as a hearing parent when I had all those fears in the beginning. Moments like this remind me just how beautiful this journey is ('love' in sign language emoji)."

We've all heard the saying that it costs nothing to be kind, and while learning another language, even just the basics of it, isn't without some cost in the form of time and effort, it's such an undeniable way to make someone feel seen and included.
Knowing there are Disney cast characters out there practicing sign language to ensure all of their guests have the best and most inclusive experience possible makes the whole idea of visiting one of Disney's parks all the more magical.

Ohio Family Gets Unexpectedly Poignant Note From Cancer Patient About Their Halloween Display
Sep 22, 2024
"Warm" and "fuzzy" aren't two adjectives typically associated with creepy Halloween decor, but those are the exact feelings social media users around the world caught when they learned of how one Ohio family's skeleton crew provided a much-needed distraction for a cancer patient.
Bill Pyles and his family, who live just outside of Oxford, Ohio, have decorated their home for Halloween for years, collecting skeletons over time and displaying them in various scenarios throughout the season.
At first, the Pyleses had a family of five-foot skeletons displayed in their yard, but the boney family has grown and now includes some members up to 12 feet in height.
And while the family knew their Halloween spirit brought joy to many passersby, one fan of the display wrote a letter to the family letting them know how much the growing skeleton family has meant to her during her battle with cancer.
In an interview with Fox19 Now, Pyles said he received a letter in his mailbox, and his first thought was that it was a "nastygram" complaining of the outdoor decor.
But when he opened the letter, he found an unexpectedly poignant note from Tammy Weihe.
It read:
“I’ve been driving past your house for the past 19 days on my way to radiation."
"A highlight of my journey has been checking to see who else has joined the Bone family and what they’re up to."
"Thankfully, Wednesday, Sept. 11, is my final radiation treatment, though I may need to continue driving by once in a while to see what’s new."
"Thanks for the diversion, Tammy"

Weihe told Fox19:
“There’s skeletons washing the car."
“You’d see oh, they have a dog, well we have a dog."
"Making those connections matter.”
On Wednesday, September 11, Weihe drove past the skeleton family on the way to her final radiation treatment and found an encouraging display just for her, complete with skeletons holding signs of encouragement and an invitation to take a selfie with them.

Weihe shared:
“Today as we zipped by, it said, 'Good Job! You made it!'"
“We stopped after treatment and got some pictures."
"It was very touching.”

People Break Down The Easiest Ways They've Ever Made Money
Sep 22, 2024
When people think about their "dream job", it isn't always one that makes them rich, but one that makes them happy or feel fulfilled.
Until people find that job, however, they will often find themselves working a job that neither makes them happy nor makes them feel fulfilled.
If they're lucky, however, this "survival" job doesn't merely pay the bills but actually sees them turn a sizable profit, requiring little to no effort on their part.
While others have discovered that they didn't even need to work to fill their checking account comfortably.
Redditor Infosignalsol was eager to hear about the easiest ways people have ever made money, leading them to ask:
"What was the easiest money you've ever made in your life?"
It's Just An Expression... Isn't It?
"I made $100k selling d*cks."
"I thought up a play on the old 'eat a bag of dicks' insult, and made a website to anonymously send people a bag of gummy d*cks with the message 'eat a bag of d*cks'."
"Simple."
"After getting the website live over a few drinks, I shared it with some friends, posted some pics on Imgur saying 'look what I got in the mail!'"
"With a link and boom... Within 3 days there was $100k in orders and offers to buy the company (I sold it)."

Helping Others Is Bound To Pay Off
"I used to freelance software development."

"He’s in the US I’m in Ireland."
"One night, at 3am, I woke up to go to the toilet and saw an email on my phone with 'urgent' in the subject line."
"I read it, and he said, 'Man, if you can fix this one last bug, the project is complete'."
"'I’ll send you whatever is left in the project budget if you can fix this in the next 2 hours'."
"I grabbed my laptop on my bedside table…. saw the bug … fixed a simple variable name."
"Closed my laptop and went to bed."
"All in all it took 40 seconds."
"When I woke up there was £5500 in my Stripe account."
" £5500 for less than 1 minutes work is pretty good going!"
"I wish they were all like that."- Tinpotray

"My son was at the bus stop a block away, I’m with him but I’m chatting with other parents and not paying attention."
"Suddenly, he takes off running between the yards, and I’m like - WTF, so I take off after him."
"He runs down like a hundred yards, and there is the missing cat."
"The cat seemed scared but recognized us and let him pick her up."
"We walk up the street (bus is gone) and knock on our neighbor's door, and of course, she breaks down in tears and offers him a reward, which he refuses."
"She knocks on our door later to thank him and again offers the reward, which he again refuses."
"Fast forward a few years when she passes away, we get a knock on the door from her son who tells us his mother’s will included a provision that $25,000 be placed in a 529 account for my son’s education."- daveinmd13
