Josh Gad, who voices Olaf in the “Frozen” franchise and played LeFou in the live-action “Beauty and the Beast,” has made a post on Instagram supporting Disney CEO Bob Iger amid the ongoing proxy fights with Trian Partners and Blackwells Capital.
Gad shared a photo of Iger and wrote:
What this man has done and continues to do for the Disney Company is unprecedented since the days of Walt himself dreamed the impossible into life. I am fortunate to have seen some of the plans Bob Iger and his incredible team have in store for the future and that future could not be in better hands. Fellow shareholders, join me in supporting Bob and his entire @disney team by voting for them today. Don’t leave magic to people who only understand it as dollars and cents.
Josh Gad
Gad was named a Disney Legend at the 2022 ceremony, alongside fellow “Frozen” cast members Jonathan Groff, Kristen Bell, and Idina Menzel.
Trian’s CEO Nelson Peltz has nominated himself and former Disney CFO Jay Rasulo to the Disney Board of Directors. Disney adamantly opposes them. Blackwells Capital has also nominated three executives that Disney does not support. Disney has nominated their own current 12 board members.
Iger and the current Disney Board have received support from former Imagineer Bob Weis, George Lucas, proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis, the JPMorgan Chase CEO, the Disney family, and more.
Shareholder votes will be tallied and results announced during the company’s annual meeting on April 3.

In honor of the 30th anniversary of the release of “The Lion King” a new Zazu shoulder plush has debuted at Walt Disney World.
We spotted the new Zazu shoulder plush at Gateway Gifts and Creations Shop in EPCOT. While “The Lion King” didn’t release until June 15, 1994, and a larger celebration is set to kick of in Disney’s Animal Kingdom beginning June 10, it appears Zazu has arrived to kick the celebration off early.
Zazu joins a long line of shoulder plush sidekicks found at Walt Disney World, like Star from “Wish,” Chip from “Beauty and the Beast,” and Abu from “Aladdin.”
What makes the shoulder plush unique from the average plush is that it comes with magnetic feet and a small magnetic pad. The pad is to be placed on your shoulder, inside of your shirt. When Zazu is sat on your shoulder outside of your shirt, the magnets will keep him in place.
The tag Zazu comes with is marked with a special “The Lion King 30” logo.
Will you be picking up a Zazu shoulder plush? Do you have a collection of any other Disney shoulder plushes? Let us know in the comments below.
