John Lasseter's dog inspired the performance of the Frozen reindeer, Sven.

Head of animation Lino DiSalvo comments: "When we first started to work on Sven, we wanted him to move around in a similar way to a reindeer. However, we brought a reindeer into Disney for research and we discovered they don't do anything; they just stand there! That's when we thought about approaching Sven as an excited dog. He's like an inquisitive pooch that sniffs around the place. We spoke to John Lasseter about this and he said, 'My Labrador, Frankie, is always in your face and licking you. It's perfect.'"
