PSA: Disney removing the Frozen short in front of Coco starting December 8th

So I work at a movie theater, and we got a notice from Disney stating that as of next Friday, the Frozen short will be removed from the film.

Here is what was sent to us

"Please note that the run of Olaf’s Frozen Adventure playing before COCO will end after 12/7. Starting on Friday 12/8 no more Olaf shorts should be up on screen.With the extra 22 minutes of running time back, we would appreciate if you could get in an extra show if possible.

Thanks!"

That last part is true because If the short wasn't there in the first place, we would have been able to add an extra Matinee for the movie.

Either way, the short has been nothing but a pain in the ass and non stop complaints from customers, and rightfully so. We even put up notices on the box office window, concession stands, and the door to the theater, and we are still getting complaints.

Also, I feel that the short also hurts the thank you message that plays at the beginning of Coco. I stood in the back of the theater once after we got complaints about the Frozen short to kinda of gauge the crowd reaction. Once Frozen was over, I could hear people whispering things like "finally". But then when the Coco short started, the entire audience let out a loud and collective groan and of course I started hearing things like "start the movie already ffs!"

This is a shame because Coco is such a beautiful movie and the thank you message at the beginning is really sweet.
