A fact from Sven (Frozen) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 June 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the animation team of the film Frozen tried to model the movements of character Sven on a real-life reindeer, but due to its relative immobility, used the behavior of a dog instead?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2018/June. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sven (Frozen).

"Sven is a fictional character who appears in the animated film Frozen (2013) produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios." I think a slightly editorial comment, a la "who most prominently appears in..." would be appropriate.
"The sounds Sven makes were recorded by the voice actor Frank Welker." Given Sven doesn't speak, perhaps it would be good to detail some of the sounds he does in fact make. Having seen Frozen, I know that it basically runs the table of actual reindeer noises, but it might be good to specify.
"Clio Chiang, another story artist, regarded Sven as a stubby animal..." I think quotation marks belong here if "stubby" is in fact the world she used.
"Sven makes a cameo appearance in the film Moana (2016)." Given that film's Polynesian setting, readers (myself included) would be rapt to know how a reindeer was fit in.

Great article, follows the established template for fictional characters quite well. 15:53, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

@QatarStarsLeague: Hello and thank you for providing the review! I tried to fix each one of the comments from above, with just one mention: the word "stubby" is not exactly the one that was used; Chiang used the word "dumpy", but I decided to use a synonym in order to avoid repetition (since this word already appeared in that particular subsection) and to also avoid using quotation marks there.
