Olaf and Sven were the two main sidekicks in Frozen who fans adored as they watched them help Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff throughout the film. It was with their help that they all managed to achieve the impossible as they solved every problem that was thrown their way.
Fans usually pick a side as they would take one of these sidekicks over the other if they happened to find themselves in this Disney film. They both have attributes that make them great, but it is up to viewers to choose who they would want on their own Disney adventure.
Olaf: He Was Created From Magic
The main thing about Olaf is that he was created from Elsa's magic powers, which automatically makes him an epic and memorable sidekick. It also gives him a unique advantage over Sven as he can never die as long as Elsa wants him around. This fact makes him invincible to danger, which is good considering his personality and friendships tend to land him in the thick of it.
Sven: He Works To Survive
Sven makes the perfect sidekick because he understands the value of hard work. He helped Kristoff for years in the ice business to ensure both of their survival, despite the harsh conditions and hard labor he had to undergo for his friend. This has also made him strong which can be helpful in certain situations when a bit of heavy moving is necessary.
Olaf: He Is Always Friendly
Olaf is always ready to give warm hugs and his friendly nature makes him approachable and beloved by fans. He is always smiling and cheerful in a way that helps lift the spirits of those around him. It is this part of his nature that has fans craving to have him by their side as he never fails to make each day a little brighter.
Sven: He Is Loyal
The official description of Sven compares him to a Labrador in regards to his heart which is utterly loyal to Kristoff. This is a great attribute for a sidekick as it means he will never betray those near and dear to his heart.
He is the one reindeer fans would want by their side as he would do anything for his friends, and they wouldn't have to worry that he might have a change of heart. He proves it time and time again as he sticks by Kristoff's side and even works to help Anna and Elsa with their troubles, even if it means racing into the unknown.
Olaf: Summer Is His Favorite Season
This sidekick might be made of snow, but that doesn't stop him from declaring summer to be his favorite season. Many fans can relate as they too love the hot days of summer that leave the with more memories than they can count. Sven's physique makes him more suitable for the snow, which is why Olaf makes the perfect sidekick for those with a love for all things hot.
Sven: He Can Be Stern When Necessary
Kristoff and Sven don't always see eye to eye, but Sven knows when to act as the voice of reason. He can be quite stern when Kristoff makes a poor decision, sometimes one that makes him a bad boyfriend, and he puts his hoof down in defiance. This is a great attribute to have in a sidekick as everyone makes mistakes and it makes Kristoff a better person to have Sven always there ready to tell him when he is wrong.
Olaf: He Embodies The Child-Like Bond Between Anna And Elsa
It was already mentioned how Olaf was created by Elsa, but his presence embodies the bond between Elsa and Anna when they were children. He helps them grow closer again as sisters and even works to help them resolve their issues throughout the films as he speaks from his heart.
This aspect of his character is what makes him desirable as he works to make them a better team. His presence prevents them from drifting apart which is allows problems to be solved faster due to the growth of their bond in adulthood.
Sven: He Can Be Ridden
The major advantage that Sven has over Olaf is that he can be ridden, which is why reindeer are better than people. This makes him a mode of transportation as he takes his friends where they need to go in record time, whether it be on his back or by pulling a sled. It might not seem great in today's world, but in the land of Arendelle, there were no cars to take Anna up to Elsa's ice castle.
Olaf: He Understands True Love
This talking snowman might not be the most intelligent creature on the block, but he does understand true love. This is a great quality in any sidekick as shows these values through his personality and it is something that every person should be able to identify. He is so in tune with the definition of true love he is even able to help Anna understand its meaning through inspirational words, which is something every sidekick should be as it is a common theme among Disney films.
Sven: He Is Always Supportive
It was already mentioned how Sven is loyal, but he is also supportive of his friends' endeavors. He works to encourage them to chase their dreams and even gives them the push they need to take a leap of faith. This support raises Kristoff's confidence as his ego is given a boost by his reindeer friend who wants him to achieve the happily ever after he deserved.
