Speaking at Fan Expo Canada this month, he said in a clip shared on TikTok: “If I could do it all over again… I wouldn’t have lent my voice to that snowman. I would have created a different voice.
About his encounters with young fans of the films, he said: “It’s very strange to be in a supermarket and have a little kid do that (turns his head slowly).
“That was my first big mistake. I try to give that to them when I can.”
