<p>Disney is pulling the new animated short <em>Olaf&#8217;s Frozen Adventure</em> from the start of <a href="http://ift.tt/2jq1KlK">its current Pixar hit <em>Coco</em></a> in theaters across the US. The 21-minute film is a spinoff from the 2013 hit <em>Frozen</em>, focusing on the titular snowman. But the short has been met with multiple complaints about both its length and quality, and now it has been reported that Disney has asked theaters to no longer play it ahead of <em>Coco</em>.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://ift.tt/2nsIVDN" rel="nofollow">Mashable</a>, <em>Olaf&#8217;s Frozen Adventure </em>will finish screening from this Friday, December 8. The site states that the studio has asked theaters to use the extra time to give <em>Coco</em> an extra showing each day. Disney has commented on this decision, telling <a href="http://ift.tt/2A06v0R" rel="nofollow">EW</a>, &#8220;It was always promoted as a limited run. The end of our Olaf theatrical play is coming next week. All our ads and messaging called it as such.&#8221;</p>

<p><em>Olaf&#8217;s Frozen Adventure</em> has been criticised for its length, which, when taking into account the standard 20 minutes of commercials and trailers that play before movies in most theaters, meant that some audiences were waiting up to 40 minutes for <em>Coco</em> to begin. In addition, while Pixar movies are often preceded by short films, <em>Olaf&#8217;s Frozen Adventure</em> is not a Pixar film. It was originally intended to be an ABC TV special, before the decision was made to release it alongside <em>Coco</em>.</p>
<p>Last week, <em>Coco</em> director Adrian Molina commented on the reaction to <em>Olaf&#8217;s Frozen Adventure</em>. &#8220;It is longer than, I think, any other short that has ever been attached to one of these films,&#8221; he told the <a href="http://ift.tt/2AvXQjL" rel="nofollow">Huffington Post</a>. &#8220;I&#8217;ve heard that that has taken people by surprise. We&#8217;ve always, even at the conception, liked this idea that these are two stories about family traditions, and understanding what your family traditions are.&#8221;</p>
<p>In related news, <a href="http://ift.tt/2zUKf51">the first trailer for Pixar&#8217;s upcoming<em> The Incredibles 2</em> </a>was released last month. The sequel to the studio&#8217;s 2004 superhero hit hits theaters in June next year.</p>
